THE COUNCIL MEETING
Various Matters Considered Mon
day Evening.

day Evening.
Chairman w. A. Hart reported
at the council meeting Monday
night that he was unable to find
anyone in Fairbanks Morse &
Company's Office in Spokane on
his recent trip to make arrange
ments for testing the well, and the
council thereupon appointed
Messrs Martin Poleson and S. E.
Beggs to accompany c. E. Bobo
to Spokane and call upon the hard
ware and machinery companie.
and ascertain what they could do
in the matter.
The council has not yet taken
any action to join the several
springs recently looked up on
Rathdrum mountain, which it was
thought could be made to flow in
to Spring Branch creek and there
by add to the summer water
supply.
Mr.. Poleson was instructed to
draft two ordinances, one to COM
pei property owners to keep the
streets and alleys free from OBJ
structions such as piles of earth or
gravel, wood, lumber, or other
obstructions which cannot be
classified as nuisances, and the
other to remove the blinds from
the windows and the partitions
from the interior of saloons.
A delegation of citizens was
present and suggested that the
town could put in the cemenl
walks cheaper than the individual
property owners. Since the re
cent ordinance was enacted it i!
claimed it has been learned tina
the walks to be built according t.
specifications will cost more thai
at first supposed, contractors hav
ing bid all the way from So 80 t.
$3. 90 front foot, whereas it wa
believed the walks could be con
structed at cost of $3.50 or SI.75
The council may effect "down
ward revision" of the ordinance i
order to reduce the expense, whic
it is thought by some, may Other
, wise prove an unjust burden o
property owners who are require
to build. DR.. Wenz was selecte
; to ascertain what the specification
and cost have been in nearb
places where serviceable cemel
walks are to be found.
Bills were allowed as follows:

Would they win or lose on the home grounds? Skagway went to bat first and drew goose egg. Douglas followed with three runs. From that time on to the end Skag way continued to pile up list of ex. pensiye errors. A sharp rally in the ninth caused tbe Douglas fans to tremhle, but after making three runs the game was fnished by Carpenter pulling one down out of the air. The liDe.up was:

letic stars ever got together under one

1t means back to the limelight for
Jeffries and Callahan, neither of whom
have appeared on the stage since last
season. The same may be said for
Champion Gotch, while for DR.. Roller,
it is practically his first experience in
the theatrical line, but with the asso-
ciates he will have there could be 40
more suspicious occasion for him 10
make the start.
Some Real Actors.
Besides these there will be three
or four more factor folks in the com
pany to round it out, among whom will
be Sam Berger, manager of Jeffries,
and Jack Curley, manager of Gotch,
so that the full number will amount
to something like a dozen.
The SHOW will open Nov. IS, prob
ably at Washington, D. c., and will be
under the management of H. H. Fra
zee, the local theatrical man, who
rounded out the company yesterday
when he secured Gotch's signature 20
a contract. The plan is to embrace
all of the big cities from New York
to California, the destination being
Jeffries' training place. About Fl
nights will be taken up on the tour,
with only one-night stands for each
city
Along with the show and money
part of the proposition the stopping
places of the company will be trans
formed into training camps, and those
members who are to engage in active
competition will work to get them
selves into better shape. Jeffries,
Gotch and Roller have matches to pre-
pare for. and intend to put in some
good lick on the trip with that end in
view "

FATHER AGAINST SON.

Novel Contest Between the GARDENERS
For Buffalo Golf Championship.
Mr.. w. Allen Gardner of the Coun-
pionship on the Park club links recent
ly. The runner up was his seventeen
year-old son, Hamilton Gardner This
was the unique result of the play that
eliminated all other contestants in
field of nearly 100 entrants. Never be-
fore in this country has father faced
his son in the final of a city champion
ship contest. The unusual situation
aroused the greatest interest among
golfers. and the press of the city fea-
tured the match in prominent head
lines.
Allen Gardner. the new champion.
has for years been a star member OF
the County club team and has played
in many tournaments in this and other
states as well as in Canada. His PROV
ess as a golfer is well known, and
from the first he was considered q
likely candidate for championship hon
ors in the city tournament. But no
one thought of Hamilton in that con-
nection. The youngster has been play.
ing the game only a couple of years.
but his advancement has been so rapid
that his father openly confessed his
fear of the result when the final test
came
That his fears were we'll grounded
was shown at the very start of the
match. when the boy won the first
two holes and, after halving the third.
won the fourth. making him 3 up.
1t looked very much at this stage as If
the son was about to make a runaway
game of it. He was clearly playing
the better golf and showed absolute
confidence, without a sign of nervous
ness. The large gallery that followed
in the wake of the strangely matched
pair. which was composed of Mr..
Gardeners old golfng friends, could
with difficulty refrain from chatting
the father on his impending defeat:
but, of course, they restrained them
selves, although their amusement must
have been perfectly obvious to the
exasperated sire.
Hamilton was 2 j at the turn
and going as smoothlytns silk. But at
this juncture the "old man" took
mental bracer and proceeded to close
up the gap in the score. Right at the
tenth hole he started his gait, winning
it in to Hamilton's 4. AS the boyle
is 5, it can be seen that the pair were
straining every nerve. They went
along in boyle to the twelfth, which
Allen won in one stroke under the
colonel's pattern. For the first time in
the match they were all square. The
kid" took the thirteenth in 4, but AL
len evened up By winning the next
hole. The father annexed the next two
holes and held this advantage to the
end. winning by 2 up. This ended the
most novel contest for the city cham
pionship that Buffalo will ever see, in
all bability.-American Golfer.
