MILLION DOLLAR GOLF COURSE
 NEAR COMPLETION
Great t'HOIes" of old World to Be ReprOduced in ShinnecOck Hills.

New York World.
 Charles B. Macdonald's dream of an ideal golf course Is rapidly becoming a fact. for down among the sano dunes near Shinnecock Hills great pro- gress has been made during the past summer on this milionaire's retreat. It is estimated that the course ana club house will cost $1.00O.000.
 In selecting the land for this un- usual undertaking Macdonald could hardly have hit upon & spot more suit ed by nature for just such purpose. But even before he had definitely de- termined upon the site he went abroad and inspected many of the famous holes on the classic" links of England and Scotland. Born in Scotland ana having learned the game at old St. An drew's. Macdonald was well qualified to bear the brunt of the undertaking
 But he was not content to depend solely upon his own Judgement For eign golfers were consulted. and ere long Macdonald had a trunkful of maps describing the best hoIes on scores Of courses. In a nutshell. therefore. the ideal course. when completed, will be not only-a reproduction of the best to be found abroad. but also original. as things are to be attempted that were never thought of before.
 Closely assisting Macdonald in his work were H. J. Whigham, another Scot and also an eX-champion, ana Walter J. Travis, of Garden City, who for years stood at the head of the game in this country.
 Although the new eighteen-hole cir- cult will abound in difficult situations, the committee does not intend to nave it become awe inspiring to the man Of advanced years. There will be occas- ions where the swiper will be able to gain an advantage by bringing ofr great carries, but there will always be road for the shorter player. Right angle hazards to the line of play. which are now considered out of date. are being avoided.
 Among the famous holes abroad to be reproduced on the new course is the eleventh at St. Andrews. This Is a one-shot hole. about 16o yards. and practically surrounded by trouble. save in a direct line from the tee. But at Shinnecock there will be narrow water hazard immediately in front of the tee. the idea being to force the player to use his mashie.
 Then there is the famous Sahara at Sandwich. which is being closely imi- tated while the twelfth at Shlnnecock Is to be a fac-simile of the much-talk- of Alps at Prestwick. The short hole at Lancaster Is also to be re- produced. and the 1S0yard thirteen tn at the new course will bear a sim ilarity to the Fedan at North Ser wick.
 A fortune has already been expended and the work has only fairly begun, It is expected that no attempt at play ing will be made for fully year. To become a regular member of the new organization, will require the tidy out lay of $1000. but as most of those who have thus far put down their names are men of standing in the financial and business world this does not enter as a serious factor. It will, however. be possible to become an associate mem ber at a comparatively reasonable figure.

 Possibly the weather has been try ing down South and has made the State officials feverish and hasty. Tn a few weeks the heated spell will be over and frost will threaten. The cotton crop will be picked By that time 1t will be a good thing to have the railroads running in order to move the cotton to market.

ON ROAD MATTERS
ROAD OF REVENUE HOLDS ITS
 WEEKLY SESSION.
Little Of Importance Transacted At Open Meeting, But Conference Is Held Later Behind
 Closed Doors.

If much business of general interest was transacted by the board of revenue yesterday, it was transacted in execu- tive session.
 After the board had completed the regular routine at the weekly session yesterday morning, w. H. Lawson, acs- ing president, announced that the body would go into secret session and he directed the room to be cleared.
 What the board had to transact in private, no one knew and what the board did during the half hour of pri- vate deIIberation no one was informed. It was said, however, that the board took up matters pertaining to roads, but further than this nothing was given to the public.
 At the open session, Mrs. Hill, who has property through which 1t Is pro- jected to open a road from Matthew's , Station to Cecil. appeared and entered an objection to the passing of the road through her property. She de-f sired S150 to allow the road to be put through her plantation. The board postponed action until the next regu lar meeting.
 A number of bills were passed on and the statement of Clerk Westcott, showing disbursements amounting to S5,S53 for the past week, was approved. The meeting was attended by MesSrs. Lawson. Edson and Guy.

IRON BUYERS TRYING
TO BREAK THE MARKET
FEAR or LOSS or CONSUMPTION
LENDS ASSISTANCE.
FURNACE OUTPUT is SMALLER
Production Of Pig Iron Shows Loss in
January Over December With Lower
Prices.

The review of the iron market by
both the Iron Trade Review and the
Iron Age this week show interesting
conditions. the Review says
Interest still centers in the pig iron
market, but the indications of lower
prices ON pig iron are closely connected
with conditions in finished lines In
spite Of the present great activity Of
the mills leading manufacturing in
terests are firmly Of the opinion that
further advances In finished porducts
will decrease consumption and call a
halt on prosperity. The effect of-this
influence is clearly shown in the posi-
tive stand of leading steel makers, es-
pecially In the central west against
further purchasing of Bessemer and
basic iron. unless the price Is reduced
10 about SEQ. 90. Steel makers declare
that they can not dispose of their pro-
duct at a profit at prevailing prices OF
pig iron. and that there is no prospect
of the price of crude steel being adj.
vanced. Valley interests have sold
practically no steel making iron for
the last half of the year, and fair
tonnage for second quarter year still to
be disposed OF.
THE furnaces are not inclined at
present TO accept offers OF $40. 90 for
their iron, and are willing to await
developments In spite OF the fact that
some interest will not make conces-
sions, there is general tendency to
ward lower prices in pig iron. due, to
some extent TO the persistent and de.
termine efforts Of buyers TO break the
market. The position OF the leading
producers In the south is strong and
sales have recently been made at SIS 80
for No. 3 Birmingham for the last half
of the year, but $500 is now freely
taken for desirable business. Some
concessions are so being made by
northern furnaces.

VILLAGE EXPANSION

fore ihe Supervisors Today

fore ihe Supervisors Today
The village of Stambuagh wants 70

AS noted in these columns before, the
present limits of the village do not in
clude any Of the mines and the few
residence and business lots find the
burden Of maintaining the village
government waterworks, fire protec-
tion, lights and street repair very
burdensome and like the Israelites Of
old they have been casting envious
glances at the land OF the ''philistines'
lying in the township OF Stambangh
and surrounding the village on all
sides.
There are mines galore, the revenue
from which would serve to feed the
golden calf of village pride before
which Stambaughites bow with fetch
reverence. SO they have placed their
lamps in their pitchers and advanced
to meet the foe aud when they bang
their crockery against the walls of the
supervisors office today the effect is
expected TO create a tumult that will
loo something the like Of which has
not been equaled. August Waffen is
scheduled to lead the men ON the hill.
In the meantime the dwellers on
the surrounding plains have not been
idle, It's said. They have advanced a
counter proposition viz, If the village
OF stambaugh cannot afford 10 pay for
a village government let il be vacated
and thrown again under the township
government
This proposition whether il was ever
made or not. has fairly set the old
timers. stepped in local pride, to boil
ing. A public meeting was held last
week at which the greatest Indignation
was expressed over the attempt TO dis
organize the village, A committee
was appointed TO confer with Senator
Moriarty TO ascertain If such a pro-
position was ever made and steering

solution 10 extend the village limits

The agitation over this village mat
ter has worked u2 considerable feeling
over In the west side town and the end
is not yet, so those favoring enlarge
ment say.

Registers Protest.

Rev Johnson came into our scantum
last Monday TO register complaint
against teamster whose team ran
over his seven-year old son and who
drove away and left the little fellow
lying on the ground badly hurt.
Enoch johnson, the boy who was
run over, was "nitcning on" sleighs
and in some way got in front of a
team at the post officer corner. The
pole struck him. was knocked down
and he fell between the horses They
passed along without striking him and
the sleigh followed over him without
running on him. He was badly cut
about the head from the effect of the
blow from the pole but otherwise I'M
injured.
Rev. johnson has no complaint be-
cause of the boys being run over
what he does complain Of Ia that the
teamster drove right along and left
the boy instead OF picking him mp and
taking him home.
