GOLF AND GOLFERS

of the rest of the field to see that the
rules are adhered to in their strict
integrity, and failure to live up TO such
responsibility spells disqualification
not only for the actual offender but
also for the competitor opponent.
according TO whether it be medal or
match play
! Golf seems 10 be about the only
known game in playing which men are
content to go along day after day and
years after year without thing about
the possible existence of rules. They
never ask. never seem interested In
knowing, whether there ARE any rules
governing the game or not. If one
such started to play auction bridge, the
! first thing he would demand Informal
ton about would be the rules. at least
the fundamental rules. But for
golf, he is content TO remain in ignor-
ance of the vital rules and etiquette of
the game He seldom, If ever. even
stops to read those common principles
of etiquette printed on the back of the
card he daily uses. The commandment
about replacing turf cut or misplaced
! by bad stroke" and the careful filing
up of all holes made by himself in a
bunker" are there plainly printed, but
he never stops To read them.
Why not devote little bit of time
TO the study of rules? Why not play
the game according to those rules :?
In tournaments. especially, it is nee
essary to know and observe them be-
cause violation o ia rule spells dis
qualification not only for the offender
but also for the com petitor or oppon-
emit" Every one knows that in match
play, ali stymies MUST be played. Yet
in recent match the players reported
after the conclusion OF their round
that they had agreed not to play
stymies. Both were, thereby, disquail
fed. We were told the other day by
a club member that a certain player OF
| some years experience had said 10
him: II never knew before today that
I could not sole my club in a hazard"
The rules have been printed and pub
llished every year since that man took
lup the game OF golf A simple read
ing would have informed him he could
never sole his club in hazard
Through his failure to familiarize him
self with the rules he has unconscious
lly violated one of the cardinal rules OF
the game in every match he ever play
ed, probably. The rules have been pre-
ed to govern and control the gams
so let us devote little more time to
their study. and then see that we and
those against who we play live up to
them.

"One of the most exasperating nui-
sances of the links" says English
golfer, is the opponent who says, not
You have that for a half but You've
got two for It,, when my ball is very
near the edge of the freen. I am sud-
denly brought by these words TO
realize that two strokes on a green
are at once ample and too few. If 1
fail to get down in two l shall more
than likely lose the hole altogether,
for shame and nervous prostration
combine to keep the ball out OF the
hole. And. If 1 do succeed in getting
down in two, | get no credit for my
prowess. 1t is only what is expected
of me. And so / like best the opponent
who is the least Informative as regards
what is expected of me. The things
that one ought to do, in golf as in
life, are invariably those that are the
hardest to do. and continually to play
In the company of custos morurn is
more than uesh and blod can stand"
Another English writer had this to
say, early in the season:
"At the opening OF the season no
better advice can be given than this:
Be on speaking terms with all the
clubs in your outfit. 1t isn't the null
tiplfcity of clubs that is dangerous to
player, ii is his neglecting them till
the supreme moment. To have only
kind of telephone acquaintance with
ain iron is to run the risk of disaster,
beause by the perversity of fate the
strange club is likely to be required at
some specially critical moment This
statement may be backed up by a
tragic and historic instance In 1898

a most surprising thing happened
at recent championship meeting. A
player lodged q protest against a GER
tain score which had been returned.
The protesting player was an eye-wit-
ness of the play on a certain hole, and
the score returned was no less than
"uine" strokes lower than that actual
~ made. The partner Of the man in
the play admitted that the score re-
turned was incorrect but he had certi-
fed to It's accuracy, Notwithstanding.
The officials at once disqualified the
man who made the score. but allowed
the partner who had vouched for it to
continue I'm the tournament. Mr..
Travis. writing editorially in the
American Golfer. says:
1T seems incredible that the "

eyes to and condone such fragrant
offence. The rules provide that il 8

is disqualified. What becomes of the
integrity OF the game when such gross
violations OF the rules are allowed to
go unscatched.
The duty of the associa-
ton was perfectly clear and their

line up TO the rules OF the game was
the subject OF much comment. If one
was disqualified both should have been

committee were grievously derelict in
their obvious duty and lay themselves
open to the charge of avoritism in
pnnishing one offender and letting the
other go free.
Unless golf is played according to
the rules It ceases TO be a
game and encouragement is extended
to violation instead of Reproduction.

traditional standard OF the game.
Outside the major champion
ships there is scarcely a single club

the contestants do not automatically

CHAMBER MAY ARRANGE
TO SINK ARTESlAN WELLS

That many people of Humboldt
county are interested in the drilling
of artesian wells is evidenced by the
fact that number of propositions
have been made to the Chamber of
Commerce by people who offer land
for the drilling of a well. Not only
have propositions been received from
land owners in Grass valley and near
town, but from neighboring towns as
well. 1t Will be remembered that an
item was printed some time ago say
ing that DIR. Hyatt proposed to drill
for artesian water, under the direction
of the Chamber of Commerce. No ar
rangements have been made between
Dr. Hyatt and the Chamber up to
date, but it is expected the matter Win
come up at the meeting tonight and
some action may be taken. The be-
lief is entertained by many that the
organization can spend money in no
better way than in assisting in the
boring of a deep well.

FINE PRODUCE DISPLAY
IN CHAMBER WINDOW

The exhibit of farm products is rap
idly growing at the Chamber of Com
meree and space in the window is be-
.ng crowded. The most elaborate dis
play yet made is from the farm of
Hon. j. ID. Bradshaw, who has just
been nominated secona time for
long term commissioner from Paradise
Valley. There are also displays from
the water canyon ranch of w. L..
Akin ana from the Thomas canyon
ranch of +. Reinhart d Co. The dry
farming display of +. Z. Bramlett, of
virgin station, near DEMO, while
small, is one of the interesting sights
in view of the fact that the products
were raised without irrigation. This is
the only dry farming exhibit the
namber of Commerce has received.
Three lots of potatoes, each of diff
terent variety, were grown by j. D..

ty OF his own skin and the fullness of
his own stomach
As interesting addenda to the fore
going, tn eSan Francisco Chronicle an
nounces that the Office Cat-an irrev-
erent cuss-has prepared the following
articles of faith:
| believe in Theodore Roosevelt.
and that he made the world and ali
that threin is except the wild ass
of the desert, who is one Of somebody
else Is bad breaks.
| believe that whatever he said last
week is so, unless he takes 1t back this
week.
| believe he knows all things, orders
all things, and that without his sover-
eign will and pleasure It is impossible
that anything can be righteously done.
] believe that he was born in New
York, served under Boss Platt, fought
the Spanish war without help. dug the
Panama canal with his toes, went in
to Africa, where he shot, skinned and
swallowed six lions in three minutes,
caught an elephant by the tail and
threw it across the desert, rode . hip
popotamus across the Atlantic ocean
and will shortly appear in Washing
ton, d. c., where he will sit ON the
throne of his majesty, and I will adore
him forever.
/ believe in his holy apostles, Bill
Finn, Tom Finn, Dan Hanna, Harvest
er Perkins and Periodical Munsev and
that I will be truly saved if / trust in
these holy men.
/ believe that William Howard Taft
is child of the devil and that Wood
row Wilson crosses his fingers when he
says his prayers, and that they will
both be steam rolled at Armageddon.
| believe in the sacred Bull Moose
and in his horns, which are horns of
righteousness, and in his tail, which
is Hiram johnson, and l believe that
anybody who does not believe in the
sacred horns and the holy tail of the
Big Bull is a porch climber and q
burglar, and that he will eventually
have his portion in the lake Of fire
and birthstone.
And / believe that if I remain true
and faithful to my superors and rulers
whom the Big Bull will place over me
that will get something good in the
great day when all things are divided
up between tho l. w. W.'s, the w. w.
T.'s, and to the Big Bull be all the

MAY HAVE A
new STATE BANK

The lumber yard has been moved
and the wooden buildings are being
razed on the ground of E. Reinhart &
Co., fronting on Bridge street, and
running from "The Toggery" to the
Big Store, to make room for new
buildings.
Adjoining "The Toggery" there
will be building erected, one story
high and 35x100 feet in dimensions.
Next to this will be warehouse, 35
feet front, and adjoining that there
will be an addition to the store,
32xl00 feet. All three buildings will
be of concrete and strictly fire proof.
Plans have been approved for the
new buildings and work will be com
menced within the next few days. The
construction will be under the direc-
tion of Supervising Architect Fifeld,
of San Francisco, who is now on the
ground.
1t is rumored that the building next
to ssThe Toggery' will be used for a
state bank, but when asked today re-
garding the matter, the Messrs. Rein
hart declined to either affirm or deny
the rumor
