TO LAY
OUT GOLF COURSE
Effort Is Being Made to Secure a
Man Of Reputation to Take
Charge Of Construction
Work.
THIS WORK is A SCIENCE
Golf Committee Has Announced That
Dickinson Cup Tournament VIII
be Continued Until
October is.

One Of the leading golf course
builders of the country will be brought
to Keokuk to plan the new links of
the Keokuk Country club, If Myrtle F..
Baker, chairman of the golf course
committee Is successful in landing
the man he is now trying to secure

The construction of golf courses
has become science and the Keo-
kuk Country club wants to benefit by
what has been learned by these max
ers during the past ten years. The
course has already been laid out
tentatively in preliminary way. but
the holes do not meet with satisfac-
ton. Also, the prospect of getting a
small piece Of ground across Prices
creek has changed plans somewhat
II this Is secured it will give the
course one of the best water hazards
in the state.
The city of Keokuk owns about nine
acres of ground across the creek. 1t
Is not allowed to sell or rent the
land, but arrangement may be made
to park it and fit 1t up SO that the
golf club can put one of their greens
on 1t. This will give long water
carry and will be an added attrac.
ton to the course.
The new course will be laid out
along lines that are scientifically cor
rect from golfers view. The bunk
ers will be properly placed and the
green's hidden among sand traps
which will call for perfect mashie
pitch At least two of the holes will
be very short, and one will be ar
ranged for a mashie tee shot If pos
sible
The golf committee has announced
that the time for finishing the Dickin
son cup cards has been extended un

REPRESENTATION. pIIIydalIyIsm.

To the Editor of The Gate City.
There are some obscure matters IN
this world, but there is no question
about one thing in the city OF
Keokuk which is now certainly among
the progressives and that is that our
commissioners appear to the naked
eye TO be practicising to perfection,
procrastination and dillydallyism on
our street improvements In manner
that Is not meeting the approval of a
great majority of our citizens.
Many Of the streets under process
OF reconstruction or repair are block
aded entirely too long. For instance
Carroll street, between Fifth and
Blghthteenth, has been unnecessarily
and inexcusably blockaded nearly all
summer. 1t is matter OF general
knowledge that an amateur could have
finished this street months ago.
Blondeau street, between Fourth and
Fifth, and Sixth and Seventh, is block.
AIDED also, and being dillydallied with
IN manner wholly unwarranted. in.
excusable and unnecessary.
Main street has numerous depres-
slons that should be leveled up by
an expert street payer. The numerous
expressions and ridges in the streets,
scattered all over the city could easily
ne avoided by having an expert In the
employ Of the city to do all of the re
placing Of streets torn up for any pur
pose, instead of allowing an incompe
tent Tom, Dick or Harry do this work
as Is usual under the present rule
consequently followed by a rough
street.

1pcction Of the streets with the mum

Death To Cactus
 Discovered by Science

Los Angeles, Dec. 27-The Unlver- sity of California has announced the discovery of solution that will de stroy the giant cactus. Dr. T. b. Robertson, acting head of the depart ment of physiological chemistry III the university is the inventor of the solution.
 Dr. Robertson is reticent about hls new discovery, and outside of admit ting that it had been tested and found sufficient, he would not discuss the invention. The solution will be test ed further in the southwestern part oi the United States where the cactus IS found, and if it is successful on large scale Dr. Robertson will probably make a visit to Australia.
 It is claimed that the solution car he manufactured and used great deal cheaper than the land can be cleared by manual labor.

Cartridges Explode;
 Cause COnSternatlOn

For a few moments last evening about 700 o'clock it was thought that somebody was trying to dynamite the E. F. Sanguinetti Department store.
 The explosion was a little weak for dynamite, but coming unexpected as 1t did. it was just as terrifying for mo- ment as if it had been the more dead ly explosive.
 Somebody had gone off and left a few blank cartridges in drawer In the desk of the office. The cartridges were in the back of the drawer and were not noticed.
 Underneath the desk and placed there for the benefit of the book keeper, is an innocent looking gas heater.
 The gas heater was busy all the time: the cartridges were in the rear of the drawer and couldn't get away
 Presumably they would have gone while the going was good and before they got too hot, but no chance, so they exploded.
 l The bookkeeper was not at the desk at the time. No one was hurt, but | for all that there was mighty scram ble to get away from the immediate vicinity, and no wonder.
 The top of the desk was practically torn off, papers were blown hithel and thither, and enough scare thrown into the clerks present to last them for quite awhile, thank you.

Another Bad Check

Several days ago man blew Ill to Yuma and started to work an adver- Using gag. in that he wanted to put a few advertisements on hugh Yuma directory cards to be placed around in various conspicuous positions.
 Incidentally, while here he wrote a check or two. The checks were drawn on the Whittier National Bank, Whittier, Cal.
 Last night one of the checks came back to a local business man, marked Account withdrawn last August-no funds"
 This check was only for the small sum of S2.O0; hardly worth sending after the man unless it was just 70 punish him, but certainly it ought to show that the quicker business mel mit cashing out of town checks, unless the party is we'll known, the better otl they will be.
 Aside from this there is always tht doubtful quality of any advertising scheme not put on by home people, bu! by out of town men, who simply seek to have the merchants pay their cal fare and board bills.

 Men Fighting Frost

Night before last was the coldesS night experienced in this country III many years. In part of Los Angeles county, California, the temperature was down to 16 above. In San Bernar- dino county it went down to Is above
 All the orange men were out smudg- ing to prevent frost, and at that the orange crop was badly damaged.
 Here in Yuma the mesa orange lands and the orange crops were not only undamaged, but the temperature never got below 22 above, which IS certainly again scoring for the Yuma orange lands over the California orange lands.

Yuma. Ariz., Dec. 27.

Yuma, AriZ., Dec. ~. Editor Examiner:
 A conference of paramount impor- tance to the land owners of this pro- feet was held in Chicago early in this month. It was the initial move on the part of the various Water Users Associations of the west to form Federation through which they can more readily bring about changes that will result in legislation and depart mental rulings that will improve their condition.
 The associations that were repre- sented in this conference were the Truckee- Carson, Shoshone, Klamats', Belle Fouche valley, Salt River val ley, O'Kanagan, Flathead, Umatilla, Fl Paso valley and Lower Milk River Communications expressing approV- al of the object of the meeting were received and read at the meeting from the Elephant Butte, the Finney coun- ty. Fichow, Pecos, Sunnyside, Uncom- pagre, Yuma County, North Platte, Minidoka and Southside Minidoka Water Users Associations.
 It will be patent to anyone what a tremendous political force can be eX- ercised at Washington through the team work of this organization and as our interests are common with theirs, ii is duty we owe ourselves to join them for the general good that will re- suit.
 So far as the physical work on this proposition is concerned, it is being forced along in a magnificent manner, and everyone is perfectly satisfied with that feature of the undertaking, but there are legislative matters apart from the delivery of the water upon the land that must be adjusted in the near future and it is time to begin, and the way to begin right is to coop crate with the other projects and get the benefit of their political power.
 I submit some resolutions that were adopted at the initial meeting, also a list of other matters that were brought LID and will be disposed of at the com ing meeting at Salt Lake City.
 These do not touch one subject that is not of interest to us, and one is ruling by the department of the Inter for that will confirm the right of an entryman to all the land he was al lowed to homestead.
 We are also interested in a modifl cation of the law in regard to resi- dence upon patented land, after th' government water right is issued.
 If that law is rigidly enforced alon& the lines as laid down by the Recla nation service, it will tend to depres: values, as the owners are scatteret from Alaska to Georgia and NeV York to the Philippines, and a grea many of them will close up their bus mess or give up good positions 70 the fun of learning how to handle al irrigated farm in the Yuma valley.
 The question of joining the Feeder alton referred to and sending dele gate to Salt Lake City at an earl date will come up at the meeting o the Board of Governors on January 1912, and I hope that those intereste will instruct the members as to thel wishes in the matter.
 Respectfully,
 R. c. STITT,
 President Yuma Water Users Ass'
