Shepherds Bush, Olympic golf contest is
being dimly foreshadowed for the coming season.
At the present tuncture it is extremely difficult TO
make out what ii is all about but we have read
that no professional will be allowed to compete
and that the IIay is 10 take place at Sandwich or
Deal or both. 1t is also said that Mr. W. Ryder
Richardson, the well known secretary of the Royal
ST. George Golf Club and honorable secretary of
the amateur championship, has been put IN charge
of the arrangements

ardson has charge of will be done efficiently and
with becoming and regard for the dignity of
the game. but " confess that the notion of on

."There was an Olympic golf championship held at
ST Louis, United States of America year or two
ago in connection with the ST. Louis Exposition,
which its promoters declared to settle the golf
championship of the world. Magnificent prizes were
offered, the event advertised broadcast ana
golfers invited from the four corners OF the

Kansas Wants Help.

WICHITA, Kan, June 6.-As re-
suit of the recent call for help in har-
vesting the Kansas wheat crop, men
are fiocking into southern Kansas in
droves and it is likely that the farmers
will have plenty of assistance in saw
ing the crop. Harvesting in southern
Kansas and northern oklahoma will
probably begin in earnest next week,
and the harvest hands will gradually
work northward. In central and west
ern Kansas the harvesting will begin
about the middle of the month, and
in northern Kansas and Nebraska the
waving fields will begin to fall before
the reapers early in July The gathering
of the harvest clans is highly pictur-
esque, as usual, and includes men in
all walks of life, from the hobo who is
impressed into service to the college
student who is "out for a lark or who
needs the money!

CLOSED GATES
TO UNIFORM
High Officer OisCri|ninates
Against Sailors
At PUGET SOUND NAVY YARD
RELATIONS BETWEEN FLEET Of
FICERS AND coMMANDANT
DECIDEDLY STRAINED.

SEATTLE, June 6.-The first dis
elimination against navy uniforms
since the fleet arrived on this coast
comes from a high officer. Admiral Bur-
well, commandant of the Puget Sound
navy yard who has issued orders pro-
hibiting enlisted men from entering the
yard although civilians are admitted
at all times.
Relations between Admiral Burwell
and the fleets officers are decidedly
strained. Only the most perfunctory
courtesies exchanged. The reasons
for the action on the part of the conf
mandant is that he feared the sailors
brOgans would ruin the golf links. and
that the noise Of returning shore par
ties would disturb his game of bridge.

NO REST FOR

WESTERN PASSENGER MEN KEPT
BUSY TAKING CARE OF HEAVY
TRAFFIC.

That there is not an idle ear in the
west, is the statement made yesterday
by prominent Walla Walla railroad
man.
This talk about the railroads in the
west suffering from hard times is all
bOsh,' he said. "Why it was all the
railroads could possibly do to take
care of the eXcursionists who went t.
Portland and Seattle during the past
month, and more than one railroad man
added to his collection of gray hairs by
reason of the increased traffic.
THE influx of homeseekers to the
west and the rush of the westerners to
the east for their usual summer visit
has commenced, and the railroads will
be kept busy taking care of the reg
ular traffic.

LONG ISLAND i
MOTOR PARKWAY
FIRST SPADEFUL OF EARTH FOR
NEW SPEEDWAY TURNED
TODAY.

NEW YORK June 6.-With the
casting of the first spadeful of earth
by w. X Vanderbilt jr the gigantic
project of an automobile speedway
that will traverse Long Island was for
maiiy inaugurated this afternoon. The
ceremony was witnessed by large
number of motorists and much enthu
siasm was manifested, as it marked the
beginning of actual work on the long
cherished dream of metropolitan auto
owners.
From this time on the construction
work will be pushed by the Long Island
Motor Parkway company. of which
w. X. Vanderbilt, Jr., is president.
Supplies have been distributed along
the entire western portion of the park
way to facilitate the work and it is
expected by October I at least 10 miles
The construction will not stop at Is
miles. the contracts let calling for the
completion of as much of so miles of
the road as is possible What that
means to the plans of the Vanderbilt
Cup commission in the selection of the
course for the Vanderbilt Cup race in
October can be generally appreciated.
1t practically assures the holding of
the cup race on Long Island.
This roadway will be from 100 to 200
feet wide throughout it's length. It's
adaptability for contests like the Van
derbilt Cup race will be perfect. 1t
would be possible when the first 10
miles are completed to make turns in
the road at Garden City and beyond
Hicksville. so that the cars could swing
around a short circuit and then return
on the same speedway. In this way
road would be provided that would be
possible to police perfectly. over which
cars might run in full view of extern
sive grand stands. where cars might
speed with no restrictions save those
that mechanical limitations infiict.

EXCELLENT WORK
REPORT OF TREASURER SHOWS
THAT ALMOST $3.50 WAS

Nearly $3.50 has been turned into the

report follows:
Receipts.-Sale of buttons, $12452;

are not as yet announced. The work
of the club has been most satisfactory
and has aided much in the forwarding
Of the work by the park commission.
Besides the discussion of park mat
| terS several other topics of interest
and Importance were brought up.
Among these was a resolution passed,
which will be presented to the city
council asking that the ordinance for
clean streets be enforced. At present
the ladies say, little attention is paid
to throwing trash in the streets and
at times the business district has q
most unlovely appearance Several
years ago the ladies placed receptacles
on the corners in which to throw the
trash but no more have ever been add
ed and the ones placed were used but

but for some reason it has been over
looked in Walla Walla and the pave
ments in summer are almost perfect
mirror for reflection of the light. The
result is great discomfort and injury
to the eyes. That this should be rem
edied is the belief of the ladies of the
park club and they passed resolution
TO that effect asking the council to
take steps in the matter at once. 1t
is stated that it would cost but little
to darken the walks as they are laid
and it would mean great deal In
