President Taft and Vice President Sher-
man were interested spectators yesterday
in the final match Of the spring golf tour
nament of the Chevy Chase Club, which
Walter Travis won by one of the biggest
margins ever recorded in g. tournament
Of this class.
The President Wednesday last had
Travis as spectator in a foursome
match, and shows the keenest interest In
the game as played by Travis. After the
match was over the President chatted
with Travis while seated at a table on
the lawn of the club in company with the
Wee President, Associate Justice Nc
kenna and several other guests.
Travis had the easiest match Of his
three played during the tournament by
beating Allan Lard, Chevy Chase. IA up
| and 13 to play, in the finals at thirty
six holes.
Travis All the Way.
The match between Travis and Lard
was deprived of most of it's interest by
the decisive manner in which Travis led
Lard in the morning round. which he
finished with a margin of 10 up. Never

afternoon round with the keenest interest
in Travis playing. Travis covered the
course In 73 in the morning, the lowest
ngures made on the present course. He
started out to repeat the trick in the aft
ernoon which he did, and IN doing took
the first four holes from Lard in the
second round and halved the fifth, SO that
tue match was won by Travis by IA up
and Ii to play at the twentythird hole.
Both men finished the course, Travis gain
ing an immaterial advantage of live more
holes in the last thireen played. Travis

his total for the thirty-six holes 146, which
is a record likely to stand tor many
moons.

Travis, who observed the spirit that actu-
ates all true golfers of being contented
with one prize. r. Lewis, Chevy Chase, |
won the net score handicap prize with
IT'S. ~. This was stroke over Thomp-
sons net, but the latter did not take the
net score prize for the same reason that
Travis declined to enter the handicap
competition. feeling himself entitled to
take only one prize.

Travis superb playing won the admira-
ton of all who watched him and noted
the ease with which he negotiated hole
being only one over par in each round.
He showed that he is almost as much a
master as he ever was at the game of
golf. His drives always had good car
rying power, and very seldom had untrue
direction. He was always in easy
reaching distance of the green's on his
second or third shots, and rarely missed
getting on the green for chance to
run down moderate puts for IS or As.
Travis negotiated his approaches in per-
feet form and had absolute control Of his
mashie shots, which he placed with un-
surpassed accuracy, SO that he gave him
made his approach.
Despite the baked condition Of the
greens, which were almost as fast as a
billiard table. Travis managed to run
down his puts in his usual brilliant
style and with almost monotonous reg
ularity, SO sure and certain was his
work on the greens. He was as steady
as rock throughout his playing, and
did not benefit by any spectacular work,
except for an occasional long putt over
ten feet.
Next in Importance.
Next to the Travis-Lard match the one
between A. 8. Mattingly. Columbia, and
Robert Wier, Wilmington, was Of second
consequence and was close all the way
through to the thirty-ffth hole, where
the match was won by up and to play
by Mattingly.
The morning match between these two
players was a nip and tuck affair up to
lac Not
giving him lead Of 3 up at the eight
eenth green. His. card going out gives a
total of ~ TO Al by Wier, while Mattingly
came in in 80 to another Al by Wier.
Mattingly gave Wier a number of
chances to even up the match in the
to take advantage Of these opportunities
on account Of his weak putting. Wier
missed five-foot putt for on the first
hole and a three-foot putt for at the
second. both of which he should have
won. Wier lost the fourth by getting
into a sand bunker, but took the sixth
and seventh holes in As. cutting Mating
ly's lead to = up. Wier lost the ninth
hole by driving into the ditch and won
the tenth by to ), making Mattingly's S
lead still up. The next five holes were
halved and Mattingly's lead was cut down
to 1 up, when Wier won the sixteenth

DOUGLAS 10 INSTALL
MODERN ICE PLANT

The Douglas County Creamery
company will no longer depend
on the lee King for frozen water
and will shortly install a modern
refrigerating plant to furnish ice
and cold storage for the creamery
products
II is a step that has long been
considered by the company and
its installation has long been
needed. Ice weather has been
very uncertain in past years and
when it has been necessary to ship
ice from Truckee the expense has
been great. The new plant will
eliminate all preplexities that
have been experienced in the past
and will a great convenience to the
enterprising company.

CARSON MERCHANT
BURNS PROPERTY

Joe Kelley, the Carson merchant,
underwent religious reform caus-
ed by DR.. Yoakum's influences
and Monday rolled his stock OF
liquors and cigars into the street.
The DR.. mounted whiskey barrel
and addressed the crowd that had
gathered. After he had concluded
his remarks, a match was applied
aud everything but the doctor
went heaven ward in smoke.
Today Carson is the most
religious town on the face Of the
earth. the Carson Appeal does
not offer an expression but passes
it up to the general public to de-
eide, however that paper believes
that in few days reaction will
set in as we have seen it several
times before.

GEO. HUSSMAN
TAKES BRIDE

Wedding bells chime forth their
joyous tidings this week and blend
in perfect harmony with the bells
OF Christmas time, and their sweet
notes tell of the marriage of Geo.
Hussmam to Miss Ruth Williams
at Carson Wednesday afternoon.
So well did the young couple
guard their Sc cret they were speed
ing to California before their
Carson friends became aware of
the marriage.

many years a resident of this
county. They young lady has a

From his early boyhood he has
managed the affairs of the Huss-
man estate. In his business re-
lations he has displayed rare busi-
ness judgment, his word being as
good as his bond.
After q short trip to coast cities
the couple will take up their home

ENTERTAINMENT
A BIG SUCCESS

its utmost capacity last Friday
evening by residents OF the com
munity to witness the entertain
ment given by the children of the
Gardnerville Fschool. The little
play "Santa Claus Land" was well
executed. BY big fire place sat
two children awaiting the arrival
of old Santa. They fall asleep and
dream that they are taken to the
land of Santa Claus. The audience
i. taken with them because their
dream is acted out. Dainty little
FAIRIES dance lightly about and tell
h,w they make the presents so
generously distributed by old Saint
Nick. The funny little brownies
were there to in their suits so
queer. Awakened from their sleep
the two drowsy children told their
mother Of the trip to Santa's land.
A ribbon drill and step dance by
twelve little girls under Miss o.
Hara's training, was perfectly exc
cuted and brought forth great APP
plause. A tablsau showing seven
little girls clad in nighties kneeling
before the big fire place, was ex-
pressive of yuletide thoughts and
the Joy that it brings To the hearts
of the little folks. Songs were
rendered and the entertainment
closed with the distribution OF
presents. A dance followed the
Entertainment.

PRAISE CARSON
VALLEY FARMERS

j. NJ. Fulton of Reno addressed
the Bankers Association which
convened in that city last week.
Among the many good words that
he uttered on that occasion, we
find the following tribute to the
farmers of Carson Valley:
81 beg to give you an example Of
what thrift and industry can ac-
complish in Nevada and without
invoking the aid of the law, but by
intelligent effort. | refer you to
the condition of he people OF
Carson Valley, who are unusually
forehanded and prosperous. Pros.
porous for the reason that every
year they produce largely from the
soil diversified crops, also butter,
eggs, chickens, beef and mutton, all
selling al good, satisfactory profit
over and above the cost of pro-
duction, the result being that no
more prosperous or happy people
can be found in any state in the
union. Their farms are universal
ly well kept, their children are re-
ceiving an example and living a
life that will make Of them in
dustrious, useful citizens.
1--WE Of Nevada are so situated
that though we should, in time.
produce in abundance above our
own needs, we could have our
prosperity throttled by railroad
rates applying between the point
of production and ths market
place"

v. & 7. OFFICIALS
CONFIRM REPORT

Since the appearance Of the
article in our issue of last week re-
lative to the extension of the Car
son Valley branch of tho Virginia
and Truckee railroad to Mono
county, H. NJ. Yerington, Vice
President and General Manager of
the road, authorized the following
statement Mhich appeared in the
Carson Appeal:
ut is fact we have been figur-
ing on the road south from Carson
Valley, in fact temporary surveys
and maps have been made and
gone over by the company many
months ago. Now, however, actual
work is going to start and on next
Tuesday Chief Engineer and full
party will leave Carson to make
the permanent survey for the new
road.
"Mr. Kirk has been in that Sec
ton for several days past arrang-
ing for the accommodations and
stations for his surveying party
and has everything in readiness to
push the work forward with as
much dispatch as possible.
"By the latter part of February
the new motor car which has been
ordered will be in service between
Carson and Minden, and the ear
was ordered with the express idea
of its use as fast as the road is ex-
tendt d into the new district"
The talk of extending the V. Il
T. to Mono county is by no means
of recent origin as most OF our read
ers naturally suppose. Way back
lin January, 1879, the following
appeared in the Carson Valley
News and was originally published
in the Lyon Co. Times:
"The building of the railroad
from the Mound House, by way of
the Carson and Walker river va,-
leys, to Bodie, has been fully de-
cided upon. ID. o. Mills, who is
now in the East, says the Enter
prise, has made satisfactory ar
rangements for the rails and roll
ing stock. The work of getting
out timbers, ETC., will be proceeded
with this winter as for az possible,
and the grading of the road will be
commenced early next spring. The
rails will be shipped this winter"

DR.. YOAKUM
EXCITES THE
POPULATION

The main topic Of conversation
the past week has been the mary, |.
Gus cures made by DIR. Yoakum at
Carson. According to the Carson
papers this wonderful man is
ordained by God to perform meri-
cles as in the tine Of Christ. By
praying over the sick and suffering
and amounting them, by this mod
ern son Of God, those who have
been cripples for Is years, throw
away their crutches and walk un-
aided.
Among those of this Valley who
went to Carson 10 get relief for
their sufferings are named G. H.
Catdinal, Wild was thrown from a
horse many years ago and has
since been cripple. He is said 10
be able to walk without his crutcL-
es since being anointed by DR..
Yoakum. Mrs. Falcke of Genoa,
for years crippled with rheumatism
is reported to have received help
almost beyond belief.
Hundreds of Carson people went
to this man, and by his mysterious
powers. they were cured of their
ailments.

COMMERCIAL
Interests ARE
STILL INCREASING

If some one had dared to have
made the assertion six months
ago that Gardnerville would have
five new business houses open up
before Christmas, the lunacy COM
mission would have got busy with
out further adue and the Reno
population would have been in
creased by one. The Kane Drug
Co. started the ball rolling by
establishing a store here. Harry
Hawkins followed by opening a
jewelry store and watch repairing
shop. Things got too quiet in
Carson and M. Harris moved his
store out among the live ones.
Mrs. Frey, believing that the field
would justify the establishment Of
a first-class. When they opened
last week $50 loaves Of bread were
sold the first day and the sales are
steadily increasing. A second
bakery is to be opened by Mr.. Har-
ris. Thus does does the commerc-
ial interests of Gardnerville grow.
