GOLF TEAMS
IS SETTLED
Details Now Being Arranged
For Contest Between Bisbee
and Ell Paso On the Local
Grounds On Next Sunday.

Great interest has developed in the
coming golf contest between Bisbee
and FL Paso, it being the first time
that the local team will have played,
and it will afford means for judging
the relative strength of the various Or
CARNATIONS in this portion of the
country. The line-ups of the oppos-
ing teams are now almost completed.
That Sundays contest will afford a
means to1udge the strength of the two
teams is undoubted, as the local
course is conceded by all to be the
best in the southwest. 1t is stated by
players who have gone over all of the
course that Bisbee's is much superior
in many respects to both FL Paso and
Douglas. 1t is probable therefore, that
if southwestern championship con-
test is arranged, it win be played on
the local course.
The members of the local team have
had very little opportunity to gSt into
shape for the coming contest, because
CT the fact that the links were not in
condition until about week ago.
Following is the lineup of the
teams:

Enquiry Into Circumstances
Surrounding Death of Nc
Neil Is Futhered.

The inquest over the remains OF
O. B. Mcneil, which was to have
taken place at Lowell yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, has been post
poned until Saturday morning at
the same hour. The absence OF GER
tain witnesses who could not be sum
moned was the cause Of this action.
Up to the present time no new cir.
cumstances surrounding the death OF
the young man have come to light,
although the officers are being kept
steadily at work on the case. A
number of clews have been followed
to an unsuccessful end, and it is
probable that the facts which lead
up to the death Of the young man
win never be known.
The remains are still in the pos
session of the PALACE Undertaking
Company awaiting instructions from

Cape Cod is swept by some of the

and the inhabitants long ago learned
that sight rent in the thin top crust
of the sandy surface in short time
might spread to ungovernable proper

Provincetown, Mass.--The effort OF
Massachusetts to keep It's 500 acres
of sand on Cape Cod, known as the
Province Lands, from being blown into
the sea, by binding the surface down
through the planting of grass, shrubs
and trees, is nearly completed, and it
is expected that the remaining 40
acres will be reclaimed within the next
three years.
The Province Lands are direct
inheritance o. the commonwealth, hav-
ing been decided originally to the
province Of Massachusetts bay by the
crown of England and having never
been relinquished, though they have
for many years been the most unstable
piece of property in the state. Scarce.
ly heavy storm could pass over this
part of the cape without changing
the topography. At times it seems
as IL the great pillows of sand, which
the northeast gales roll up as easily
as they do the waves of the sea,
would envelop and smother this little
town
"iih6 tiC pooL IL years, however,
the work of tying down the soil of
the cape with roots of grasses and
shrubs, thereby restoring equilibrium,
has been progressing. So promising
has the result been that 1t is regarded
as possible, when the province lands
are secured, that the state may extend
Its work to the Peaked hills of Truro,
which adjoin the lands on the east.

ONE EGG A DAY is BOYS DIET
Little Howard Elliott is 'the Lightest"
Eater In Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.-Not many lad IN
the land could subsist on diet of

ficient for Howard, the little son of
Mr.. and Mrs. s. w. Elliott OF North
Uber street, who celebrated his eighth
birthday the other day.
Physicians have been puzzling their
brains about this strange case for
many months, for 1t has seemed queer
to them that a boy could exist on so
slim a ration. But 1t is necessity
for Howard Elliott, for his organs are
so weak that he cannot digest any
heavier food. So, he eats an egg every
day.
The boy is bit stronger than he
used to be, and he has a brain that
would well fit lad of twice his years.
A diet of one egg daily seems to de-
velop the gray matter, for Howard

Two Cribbage Players Have Pesged
Nearly 100000 Each.

Des Moines, Ia.-A cribbage game
for million points, which has already
lasted over seven years is being played
in this city by Col. John c. Lopez and
Milo Ward. The score to date is
460,234 to 455.2S4. The players esti-
mate that they will live to finish the
exciting contest in 1915.
Both men are prominent here, Lopez
being sheriff of Polk county and Ward
secretary of the Commercial exchange
The men play once a week, either
Monday or Saturday nights, from 1880
to II. These men have played for 376
consecutive weeks and religiously
keep their weekly engagement. The
average number of points made each
night for the last seven years is 2,150
The game was suggested by Mr.
Lopez and Mr. Ward took him up
Just what the stakes are neither of the
players will divulge. Both men have
passed the 50-year mark.
The game has been divided into
series of 100000 points each. During
their weekly contest they take half
hour for light refreshments. They play
scientifically, and even politics and
commercial interests are tabooed dur
ing the progress of the games.
The players have worn out a number
of cribbage boards and about rs packs

WATER COMPANY AFFAIRS.
Officials of c. D. Go. Hold Conferences
 and Adjust Differences.

General Manager II. T. Cory and Engineer F. c. Herman, of the Cali fornia Development Co., made a trip from Calexico to El Centro, Imperial and Brawley in their new automobile last Wednesday to hold conferences with officers of several water compan- ies. They made an agreement with officers of No. 5 as to the amount of water to be delivered to that district and at Brawley they arrived at a set clement with No. & of the affairs of the Imperial Construction Company, which built the ditches of that district They also came to an agreement with F. c. Paulin concerning the business relations of the company with the New River Ranch.
 The agreement between the C.. D.. Company and directors of No. 1 con corning increase of No. capital stock and the delivery of water to an addi- tional 30,0OO acres of land has been approved by No. Is attorneys and is being presented individually to stock holders for ratification.
 At the last meeting of the directors of Water Company No 1 it was decid- ed to hold an election of stockholders on Wednesday, August 26, at 10 o'clock for the purpose for deciding whether or not the company shall in crease it's capital stock from 100000 shares at the par value of $10 each to 135,OOO share of a par value of $10 each.

TELEPHONE COMPLICATIONS.

The refusal of the c. D. Go. to per init Water Go. No. 1 to connect it's telephone line with the c.

Direct Ors of No. 1 and the Imperial Tele- phone Go. have not been able yet to come to an agreement as to terms on which their systems may be connected and operated.

LEVEE NEARLY COMPLETED.

Engineer Hermann, of the c. D. Co., reports that the levee at Volcano Lake to prevent flood waters from coming into New River, will be com pleted next week. The June rise of the Colorado is less than usual this year, and it is not probable that the water will come against the dams and levees built to close the break. The Abejos channel is cutting back slowly, and unless a heavy flood comes in the Colorado, it will not recede to the main stream possibly for two or three years. The new levee, which will be extended later to connect with the levee built last year, will protect the valley and cause the Colorado to make it's way to the gulf by way of the Hardy.
