NEW YORK, May 24-Jerome d.
Travis, the American golf champion
who is playing in the British tourney
commenced today at Muirfield, is
years of age. He is a resident of Mont
clair N. j. and is a representative of
the best type of American born golf
ers, comparing with H. Chandler
Egan, E M. Byers, Warren K. Wood,
the Reds, w. C. Fownes, Jr., and H.
H. Wilder when they were all at their
BEST w. J. Travis, an American cit
izen but born, in New Zealand, learned
to golf here and as he won the British
title at Sandwich, in 1901, on the try
outs of recent matches between them.
Travers should make good showing
at Muirfield. c. B. Macdonald, men,
Der of our Garden City and st. An
drews. Scotland, golf clubs took no
part in the British amateur champion
ship of 1906 at Holylake when James
Robb beat C. C. Lengen in the final by
four and three: AS American cham
pion of 1896 Macdonald is familiar
with the game of our best players. He
said on his return that since he won
the New York interscholastic title in
1904, Travers has been a factor to be
reckoned with wherever he has played
That fall at the Nassau tournament
Travers won from Findlay S. Douglas
in the morning and Travis in the af-
ternoon final. He has done the Mas
sau course in 50 and also MOntclair in
that figure At EkWanOk, Travers won
midsummer cup in 1906 and made
the new records of II and 144. In the
M. G. A. championship at st. Andrews
the same year Travers made the rec
ord of 70, and the thirty-six hole rec
ord of 144 On Thursday, Travers made
the round at Montclair in 76, although
the course was soft in spots and he
neeuea four on each of the three shorr
holes.
c. H. Seely won the M. G. A. title
cleverly from Travers last year. He re-
tanned his other titles the national
and New Jersey, and demonstrated
that there was no falling off in his
game.

TARANTELLA DANCE
OPENS THE K|RMESS
One of the Fastest and Most Interest
ing Events of the Program Is
That Which Will Start Off
the Big Show.

"Kirmess? oh, by the way l must
go to practice the tarentella this at
ternoon, everything is so fascinating
about this italian dance that even the
routine of drilling is charming"
Mrs. r. B. Allen is chaperoning this
dance and reports rapid progress in
the beautifully graceful Italian move
ments. No number of the great Kir-
mess program will exhibit more ease
and grace In fact the tarentella is so
brilliant and embodies so much spirit
and dash that Miss Stewart opens the
Kirmess with the dance which has its
origin in the legend, 1.-The Bite of the
Spider It was thought by the ORR
entails that dancing would actually kill
the effect of the tarantula bite and Of
ten the victim would indulge the de-
fusion for hours.
The costumes are gorgeous and true
to the country from which they come
Some of the girls will be dressed in
green satin skirts trimmed in gold,
with red sash and white boleros, the
others will wear red satin skirts and
green boeros, the head dress is the
fiat Roman bonnet with flowers under
Meath The mems costumes consist of
green trousers, green coats and red
sashes, green bandanas around the
head and the sombrerO hats.
The dance opens with the grand
tableau march, led by the kings of the
carnival. Those participating in this
brilliant fete are: Miss Aida fStine,
Miss Addie Sacre, Miss Enid Smitten,
Walter Sauze, Louis Burns, Howard
Bolts, Joe Wade and Walter Moore.
Specialties for the number will be
taken by Mrs. CARED who gives the
popular tambourine dance, and Miss
Smitten and Walter SauZe who dance
"Saltorello."

evidence of his interest offered to give,
without any conditions attached, $780,

FINISHING NEW BLOCK

Contractor J. l.. Travers is com pleting the H. H. Peterson building, on the north side of Main street, ad- joining the Bill block this week. It is one of the most striking buildings in Imperial Valley, it's style of archi- lecture being decidedly different from that usually a0opted for busi- ness buildings. The structure, which is two stories and has a twenty five foot frontage, has a deep arcade ex- tending out over the sidewalk space, and the second story comes out flush with the front of this arcade. The front Is of clinker brick in fantastic design. In some sections of the walls and pillars huge sections or ciinkcr slabs have been set with grotesque effect. The roof is steep pitched to- wards the street, and is covered with red tiling. The second floor is divid- ed into spacious hall and eight rooms fitted for either office rooms or lodg- ings. The first floor is being arrang- ed for store purposes, with plate glass front, steel ceilings. etc
