and there are now hundreds of private
golf courses. 1t first gained popular
ity as an outdoor sport in the east,
but is now in vogue everywhere. Even
in Porto Rico h American army Of
ficers have established a golf course
within the historic boundaries of San
Juan. The caddies are black in color,
speak both Spanish and English with
fluency, and are as apt in their sug-
gestions as to plays as are the caddies
of old Scotland. In the Bahama
islands golf courses are planned for
the benefit of the winter visitors who
enjoy the sport in tropical surround
ings, while outside of Havana, Cuba,
an 1S-hole course recently has been
laid out by a golf expert of world
wide standing,
Golf matters in the United States
are chiefly under the control of the
United States Golf association, which
now numbers $50 clubs. AT the an
nual meeting held in January, the an
nouncement was made of several
minor changes in the rules of the
Royal n Ancient Club of st. An
drews, Scotland. The former presi-
dent, Silas Fl. Strain of Chicago. Wis
tied Great Britain last year and placed
The American association in close
touch with the rules committee of the
ancient organization. The American
Golf association recently has opened
a sort of clearing house for the pur-
pose Of keeping the club in touch with
the professional players and also with
green keepers who are capable of
looking after the conditions of golf
courses.
This latter is a more important
matter h at first seems apparent.
Much of the progress of the game is
dependent upon the condition of the
curse. For this reason a certain kind
of grass is to be preferred and a num-
Der of competent seedsmen find it
Well worth their while t., give their
attention entirely toward the cultiva-
ton of grasses best suited to golf
courses in the various parts of the
United States. A short. bent grass is
the n usually found to be best.

THE c ISSUE.

In the municipal campaign in Mis-
soula there is just the one issue-that
issue is the manner of administering
the city's business. We believe the
great majority of the people of Mis-
soula want their city's affairs handled
exactly on the sound bushes basis
that governs the management of n
Well-conduCted private business. There
can be no question that such a man
is reelected.
There is considerable activity in
and there is much Misrepresentation
in the talk that is being made against
him. Let us repeat what we have al
ready said in connection with this
campaign talk. The OPPOSITION to the
~disgruntled politicians who desire to
have Missoula's city government re
stored to the old political system in
order that they may have Il finger III
the pie once more.
There is just this single motive III
the opposition to Bill Houston this
spring. The men who are campaign
ing against him on the streets are
men who are willing to sacrifice tho
welfare of the city in order TO advance
their own political interests. They are
circulating the hasest falsehoodS
about the present city administration

Royal Game
of Golf
By Frederic j. Haskin.

The month Of March has been a
record-breakcr for the number of i'm
portant golf events which have been
scheduled for it and in every part of
naments have been eagerly awaited by
an increasing number of men M
women who each year are becoming
enthusiastically interested. Golf is a
game for all the yea round. Ever

else, A poor pitcher may ruin the
chances of the best baseball batter in
the world. The tennis player is de-
pendent largely upon the skill of the
server, but the golfer has a chance
for free, individual achievement. Each
player makes his strokes in his own
timo and his game may be suited en-
tirely to his physical capacity.
The healthfulness of golf as an ex-
erciSo is being recognized by the park
commissioners in a number of cities,
who are planning public golf grounds
which shall be free TO the public. One
of the last official recommendations of
President Taft was that public golf
links be established in the District of
Columbia, in order that the benefits of
the game might be within the reach of
those Who were not able to pay for
membership in the country clubs in the
locality. Within the past 10 years,
thousands of men and women have
taken up golf and with the establish
ment of public golf links it is ceasing
to be looked upon entirely as a rich
mans game.
John d. Rockefeller is probably the
richest golf player in the world and his
enthusiasm has done much to convert
other mlllionaires of advanced years
who have retired from strenuous ca
feers of active business life. Florida
Is the gathering place of these mil
iionaire golfers, and it is said that at
one time last year no less than a bill
lion and a half of dollars were repre-
scented by the men assembled upon
the golf links of one of the we'll known
resorts. h number of really old
men who are applying themselves to

The increased recognition of the i'm

Glover is not suitable, as it absorbs
moisture and has tendency to make
the course "draggy' for the ball.
Then, the proper amour of moisture
to be supplied is being studied with
scientific accuracy. 1t varies with the
seasons and the different localities.
Golf is unq~uestionably the oldest
game in existence and many stories
are given as to it's origin. The prin-
ciple of striking a ball with a stick
for sport existed before the twelfth
century, for an old receipt is in ex-
istence for Ten martells and seven
maximum %ballones,' which was dated
in 1147. These were balls and mall
lets used in a primitive manner of
croquet 1t included long driving. Inc
drives of 200 yards are recorded in
ancient times. The natural forms of
sticks were branches of young trees
n sapplings with crooked roots,
which suggested the method of hitting
a ball, In 1888, James l. of Scotland
issued a royal edict against "Gouff'
because interest in this bid fair to
overcome that of archery, and the
archer's skill was deemed necessary
for the protection of the country. In

sixteenth century, balls were brought
from Holland, the game began anew
in Scotland, and from that day never
has been out of favor with the High
landers and LoWlanders.
The derivation of the word is much
disputed. The Dutch called it "Het
kolven" at the time they sold the
balls to the Scots. A similar game
was played by the Scandinavians at
even an earlier date. and the Ice
landic or Morse word for cudgel Used
for striking the ball was "Kolfr.'' Pro-
fessor Patrick Geddes suggests that
the beginning of golf, as it is played
today, was the rabbit holes on the
st. Andrews fore shore which sug-
gested a reach for the balls. Shepherds
