question is generally assigned to some
post where neither the influence nor the
indiscretion Of his wife could do much
harm. That George Bakhmetieff should
have been chosen to represent the Car
in Bulgaria and should have been trans
ferred from thence to the even still more
difficult post of Russian Minister in
Japan speaks volumes for the confidence
of his government in the tact and dis
cretion of his American wife.

to the church of her husband, namely,
the so-called orthodox rite, and 1t is
largely owing to this that she has man.

only persona gratissima at the White
House, but would be a most desirable ad-
dition to Washington society.

CZAR'S NEW ENVOY
HAS CLEVER WIFE
NJ. Bakhmetieff May Succeed
Baron de ROSen.

With the announcement few days ago
from ST. Petersburg of the appointment
by the Car of Baron de Rosen, his Am
bassador to this country, as temporary
head of the Russian foreign Office, comes
the rumor of the impending appointment
of George Bakhmetieff, Russia's envoy to
Japan, as the Cars envoy here.
This clever Muscovite diplomat has an
American wife, in the person Of Miss
Mary Beale, formerly of this city. a
sister Of Mrs John r. Mclean. and he
has spent a number of years in this
country, still retaining his membership
in the Metropolitan Club.
There are few American-born women
who have played a more notable role
abroad than NJ. Bakhmetiefr's clever wife,
and on one occasion she brought about
a cabinet crisis in the capital to which
her husband is accredited. It redounded,
however, to her honor. and she had in
the affair not only the Endorsement of
her husbands government, but likewise
the good will Of the people OF the coun-
try in which he is stationed. It was
when her husband was Russian Minister
at Sofia, one of the most difficult and
delicate Of posts in the Cars diplomatic
service, since the representative of the
emperor is expected virtually to run both
the prince and the principality of Bull
garia in accordance with Muscovite views
and interests without, however, arousihg
undue jealousy Of the other foreign
powers; and bearing In mind that Bull
garia is, or rather was, at that time. de

Sultan and an integral portion of the
Ottoman empire, though possessed Of a
splendidly equipped and well trained
army Of 10000 men, all burning to fight
the Turks.

nature being tolerated the diplomat IN

Sherman Travis Golf Match

George Sargent, professional at the

Y, and Tom NJ. Sherman, son Of the
Vice President. last Saturday afternoon
in the annual spring tournament Of that
club.
In telling US Of how Travis won, In
his story written exclusively for The
Washington Herald, Mr.. Sargent shows
as much facility with his pen as he does
with his clubs. 1t is interesting to
know that it is given to comparatively
few men the ability to play the game ex-
ceedingly well and to impart to others
simply, intelligently, and yet forcibly,
a description Of a good golf match. Mr..
Sargent has done all this in the following
story:
By GEORGE SARGENT.
(Che,y Chase professional and one Of best golfers
n the country.)
The annual spring golf tournament
which took place last Thursday. Fri
day, and Saturday. was a gratifying
success to the officials and members
Of the Chevy Chase Club. Not only
was 1t a record for the large number
Of entrants, but 1t was also record
for the number of players Of distinc-
ton who took part.
Among the foremost was Walter j.
Travis. one time the open amateur
champion Of the United States. and
the foremost golfer In this country.
Among the many other prominent golf
ers who took part were T. M. Sher-
man, son of the Vice President, who

Players Like New Course.
The new course, while not at it's
best owing to the backward season.
was far enough advanced to make the
players enthusiastic over II. and to
show what q splendid course the club
will finally have when 1t il completed.
From the drive OF the first tee. until
the ball was in the hole at the 18th.
each shot had to be played with skill
and Judgment. The ground was very
hard and fast, which. while II assisted
in the long shots. made the
short game very difncult.

qualifying rounds when he headed the
list and won the trophy with 81 and

S Mattingly, and Feorge Crump in the
order named, while Mr.. Sherman readily
accounted for his three opponents and won
his way to the final round with Travis.
Mr.. Sherman, although young at the
game, has a rather taking style and
drives a good, long ball. but is weak on
his long iron shots and on the putting
green. However, he had much determin-
alton and started out with the intention
Of giving his formidable adversary a
good, hard run.
Play Described in Detail.
In the final round, both players got
away from the first tee in splendid style,
with Sherman getting the longer ball
Travis overran his approach, while Sher-
man played a beauty within two feet
Of the cup. Travis failed to get his ball
cut Of the long grass very well and left
himself too long a putt. The hole cost
him 5. and Sherman. missing his two
foot putt, won the hole in to 6
Sherman's advantage was very short
lived. He pulled his tee shot at the sec
ond hole and was trapped in the bunker
on the left. He failed to get out in his
second and took four to reach the green.
Travis then played the hole perfectly and
Both players made good shots at the
tricky third. the hole being halved In 8.
Each made good drives at the fourth
hole and played their seconds short of
the ditch. Sherman played a beautiful
approach within six feet of the cup, but
missed his putt for a and the hole was
halved In s.
Travis drove a splendid tee shot at the
fifth. while Sherman pulled slightly and
somewhat luckily escaped the pit on the
left. Both were nicely on the green in 2.
Travis putted first and overran
about three feet. Sherman's putt
stopped just past the hole and layed

the veteran as he took his putter and
pulled the ball beautifully around his
opponents ball and holed out. Sher-
man, who was unsteady on the putting
green. missed his short putt and put
Travis / UP.
This seemed to upset Sherman slight
in going to the sixth. Travis played
the hole perfectly and won In 8 to 4.
This made Travis 2 up.
Both players made good drives at
the seventh. Travis played nice iron
shot just short OF the green, while
Sherman sliced his shot badly and got
bunkered to the right Of the green,
which cost him the hole and put his
opponent 8 up.
Sherman Cuts Down Lead.

in the future Of the Mimbres Val

real estate.
The secret of the steady up
ward trend of prices in the MINI
bres Valley lies in the demon
strated fertility of the soil and
the abundance of the water. Pure
soft water in any quantity you
wish is available for irrigation.
This bare statement may not
mean much to the man unac-
quainted with the possibilities of
irrigation, but to the man who
knows what virgin desert soils
will produce when under irriga-
ton, it means a great deal. $500
per acre is not an extraordinary
yield for onions in the Mimbres
Valley; with any sort of care, al
falfa nets from $50 to $50 per
acre; beans can be counted upon
to produce net from $50 to $50
per acre. Fruit is, Of course, Won
derfully profitable, as has been
demonstrated by the orchards
twenty or thirty miles north of
Deming and also by the trees in
the yards Of Deming. CONNER
cial orchards in the vicinity of
Deming there are none in bear
ing. The country is young, and
while there are numbers and

A ten acre tract Of land near
Deming was rented the other day
for $25 per acre per year, and the
rentalcontract signed up for five
years. The well and pumping
plant on this place cost about
$500. Raw land in the same vicin-
ity can be purchased at from $75
to 800 per acre. Say you buy ten
acres at 800 per acre, thus in
vesting $1,000 in raw land. Say
you spend $50 per acre in devel-
oping water and Ieveling the land
ready for the water. You have a
total Investment Of $500. Then
you rent the ten acres for $25 per
acre, or $3.50 per year for the
tract. After deducting $50 per
year for depreciation on the
pumping plant, and another $40
for taxes and incidentals you
have a net return from this ten
acres Of 5000 per year. This re-
turn for an investment in real
estate, the safest Of all invest
ments, is certainly not to be
sneezed at. Almost fifteen per

in the Mimbres Valley.
A gentleman bought a business
lot in Deming a few months ago
for $11OO. This was considered
a rather steep price, but this gen
tleman was just back from an ex-
tensive prospecting tour of the
Pacific states and Canada, and
when he got back to Deming he
was in a buying mood. So he
paid the $110O for the lot, and
this week he sold this same lot
for $4,000, an advance of 1000 in
less than three months. In the
parlance of the street, that is go
ing some. 1t is safe to say that
business property has enhanced
1870 within the last six months;
many place it at 1000 in the last
three months. The reason is that
property holders have come to
see that the tremendous area sur
rounding Deming capable of irri-
cation will support a town of 90
600 inhabitants. A few more
years of growth like the one just
past and Deming will be in the
