Water NEEDS IMPROVING
THE GEORGETOWN RESERVOIR
SHOULD BE REMoDELED.
This Is Recommendation of Chief Of
Army Engineers-Other
Suggestions.

The annual estimates for the care and
maintenance of the Washington aque-
duct and filtration plant and the new
Highway bridge across the Potomac
river were submitted to the Commission
ers today by the Secretary Of War, who
has supervision Of these plants The esti-
mates are: Washington aqueduct, $50. COO
Washington aqueduct and filtration plant
s19O.64O and for repairs and improve
ments at the Highway bridge, $4,000
Included in these estimates is an item
providing $4,000 for remodeling the
Georgetown reservoir and for the pre-
liminary treatment of the Potomac river
water by means of coagulation. The
construction of a slow sand filtration
plant at that point is also recommended.
It Is estimated to cost $4,000.
Reporting upon the conditions at this
reservoir Chief of Engineers Marshall
of the army. who has charge of the water
supply. said:
Need Of improvements.
while the quality of the city filtered
water was excellent for the greater part
of the year there were several periods
when the number of bacteria exceeded
what is considered by experts to be the
proper standard for filtered water sup
ply. The filtered water was unsatis-
factory with respect to turbidity for a
considerable percentage of the time. This
confirms the. experience of the two
previous fiscal years and also the judg-
ment Of the three experts as expressed
In their report. dated February 10. 1901,
to the chairman of the Senate committee
on the District of Columbia. A year Of
elaborate experimentation has shown
conclusively that the water can be ma
terially improved by the use of prelimi-
nary coagulation during periods of high
turbidity and high bacterial counts. 1t
has also shown that the methods of pre-
liminary filtration used at PHILADELPHIA
and elsewhere will not give satisfactory
results when applied to Potomac water.
In order that the city Of Washington may
at all times be supplied with water that
is exceptional both in quality and an
pearance these improvements are urged -

Famous Golf Stick Makers.
| The successor of Tom Morris as cap
| tain Of the Royal and Ancient Club is
David Auchterlonie. a we'll known manu-
| facturer of golf sticks at st. Andrews,
whose brother William was champion of
| the world in 1893, and whose brother
Lawrence has been the champion OF
America. David Auchterlon!e was born
here. has been a member of the club for
twenty-five years and as an amateur has
won all the matches he has played upon
the course. He does not consider him
self a professional. He is devoted to his
business and plays as recreation only.
1t is the precious privilege OF the captain
of the ST. Andrews Club to use a locker
that formerly belonged to old Tom Morris
and to Allan Robertson, his predecessor
as champion.
The father of J. B. Forgan. president of
the First National Bank, and D. R. For
gan. vice president of the Union National
Bank of Chicago, was the most famous
golf stick maker of st. Andrews. Both
| those gentlemen and their two brothers,
who are clergymen in the Free Church
of Scotland, one at Edinburgh and the
other at Rothesay. were born here. The
sticks made by Robert Eorgan. the found
er of the firm seventy-two years ago, are
now eagerly sought after as curios and
relics like Chippendale furniture and
of the golf clubs of the world. T. B.
Forgan. the oldest of the sons, who sue
ceeded his father. died in 1906. His wife
keeps up the business and his son. Law
renee Forgan. is her manager.
There are five other firms making golf
sticks and three factories making irons in
the town. The st. Andrews sticks are
supposed to be superior in all respects
10 those mace dnyWne else, although
all the hickory comes from the United
States. Some of the factories employ as
many as sixty hands continuously and ship
to every corner of the globe more sticks
than are made in any other place.

body may know how they run. Three
afternoons in the week the taxpayers OF
the town can have every other go, II they
want It, and only half as many cards are
drawn on those days; but IL no citizen
taxpayer is present when the gong
sounds. any one can take advantage of
the gap and start off on the game. This
rule applies also to those whose names
appear promptly the opportunity may be
claimed by any one. Therefore, those
whose names have not been drawn are
usually standing around the first tee"
awaiting chance.
Official Caddies Are Provided.
A crowd Of official caddies. Of all ages
some of them men seventy years old. who
have done nothing else all their lives
are confined in a corral near the starting
place and take their turns. No player
can select a favorite. but II he wants a
caddie he must go to the booth and get a
card, which he hands to the man at the
gate and the latter calls out the name
Of the caddie whose turn comes next.
The regular fee is a shilling and six
pence, but player may give his caddie
much more II he likes.
The same rules apply to the other links
Sunday playing is prohibited. Tom Nor
ris. the famous golf champion. who died
last May after having charge of these
links for half century, was an elder in
the Presbyterian Church, where John
Knox preached his first sermon. and he
used to say to those who wanted to play
on Sunday:
I'VE magma see the objections, but the
green needs the rest"
1t may interest golfers who read these
lines to know that the total distance OF
the eighteen holes Of the Royal and An
cient golf course at ST. Andrews is 6147
yards and that the distances between the
holes are as follows.

John Knox's First Sermon.

st. Andrews had one of the largest ca
thedrals in Europe, of which the front and
rear walls are still standing. and in what
is known as the Town Church, originally
built in 100, and now being rebuilt, John
Knox preached his first sermon in 1871.
The pulpit he occupied is preserved in the
University Chapel. He was minister of
the Town Church from November, 1863,
to April. 1850, and from July. 1911, to Au-
gust, 1872.
For several centuries ST. Andrews was
the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland be-
cause the relics of the apostle ST Andrew
were here and thus he became the patron
saint of the country. So many pilgrims
were attracted by them that large hos
pices had to be erected for the accommo-
dation of the visitors and the city grew
up around the institutions. But now all
the pilgrims come to play golf, and they
come from all over the world. because
ST. Andrews Is supposed to have the finest
links In existence. They lie upon the
shore of the ocean, in a sandy soil with
perfect turf and the hazards are natural
sand dunes

ST. ANDREWS, September II, 1908.
The medieval city of st. Andrews, which
is ranked as the golf capital of the world.
is a quaint and attractive place thirty
miles or SO north of Edinburgh. 1t was
the scene of many important historical
events and is one of the chief educational
centers of Scotland. Its schools were
famous as far back as the eleventh CEN
fury, and today there are university, sew
eral preparatory schools for boys and two
celebrated schools for girls, Of high rank
and standard In scholarship. The univer-
sty, founded in 1411, includes three col
legeS-St. Salvadors founded in 145J; st.
Leonard's. in 1912, and St. Mary's, the
divinity school, in 1887. In 1890 a college
at Dundee was affiliated and since then
its graduates have received their degrees
here.
There are many ancient buildings and
picturesque ruins in St. Andrews, and the
roofless walls of a castle in which much
history was made and where John Knox
was living young man when he was
captured by the French and made gall
ley slave. Before the entrance to the cas-
tie several famous ProtestantS were
burned at the stake by Archbishop Bea-
ton. who was assassinated afterward in
his room and his body was flung from
window over the great gate. The corpse
was recovered. however. and taken back
into the castle where it was packed in
salt for several months before 1t was
finally buried.
