TIE WILL
HAVE A PUBLIC
GOLF COURSE
New Western Links Will Include
Land Set Apart for Chill
dren's Playground.
By Chick Evans

a FRIEND has sent me from
~ Seattle a plan of municipal
links that is now being con-
structed in that city. When II Is
completed il will be, | believe, the
only public golf course west of the
Rocky Mountains. Robert tombstone,
professional of the Seattle Golf and
Country Club, designed the course,
and it is being constructed under the
direction of the Seattle Park Com
missioners. The new links. includ-
ing the land for a children's play
ground, is composed Of one hundred
acres, beautifully situated on the
crest of Beacon Hill and commanding
fine view of the city on the west
and with towering mountains stand
ing like sentinels around.
The course will consist OF eighteen
holes, with a total length Of $3.50
yards. The first nine holes are 1850
yards long, and the second an even
5000 yards
THE lengths of the various holes
are: First. 300 yards: second,
430; third, $50; fourth, $50; fifth,
260; sixth, 40; seventh, 200; eighth.
430; ninth, $50; tenth, 800: eleventh,
$50; twelfth, $50; thirteenth, $50;
fourteenth, ESQ; fifteenth. $50; six
teenth, 200; seventeenth, 400; and
eighteenth, 400.
Seattle, be it known, has very
fine system of parks and boulevards
and to E. e. Cheasty, of the park
board. belongs the credit Of the idea
that a public golf course would prove
very beneficial and attractive ad-
dition to the park system.
- EATTLE has already two fine
- coursesv-the Darlington Golf and
Country Club and the Seattle Golf
Club. There Is also a smallcourse near
the University of Washington, where
the faculty of that institution play

cally the whole year round, and few

sure that II is a step that the city
will never regret. ~

Colossal Growth of the
Motorcycle Trade

every few people outside the in
/, dustry have an accurate conception
of the colossal growth of the motor
cycle trade in the past few years, or
of it's potential possibilities of deveI-
opment," points out the West End
Electric & Cycle Co. "The extraor-
dinary production of automobiles has
had tendency to distract the public
from the great strides being made
by the motorcycle, but nevertheless it
has been coming up strong and to-day
is one of the most prosperous and
stable industries in the country.
Since the motorcycle projected it.
self on the public eye after long
struggle for recognition, 1t has re-
mained in the spotlight, and won de-
votees by the thousand because of the
manifold advantages 1t possesses both
for business and pleasure pursuits
The 1913 output was 75.0 machines
while for 1914, material contracts
placed indicate total output of at
least 10000, which will be built by
twenty concerns.
ut is interesting to note that lust
as well-known car has maintained
production leadership for several
years, the condition prevails in the
motorcycle field, where for fourteen
consecutive years, or since the birth
of the industry in this country. the
Indian has been the most popular ma
chine. Count the Indians on the
Road is not a mere advertising
slogan, but statement of fact, proven
by statistics. For instance, 29 per
cent. of the 1911 output were In
dians, while 1912 saw 35 per cent. of
all the motorcycles built bearing the
Indian name. In 1918 the $4,000
Indians manufactured constituted Al
per cent of the total volume and the
1914 schedule of $4,000 Indians will
represent SO per cent. of the total
output.
"As that inexorable business law
the survival of the f1ttest' applies to
motorcycle manufacture equally
strong, 1t must be admitted that this
sustained supremacy has been pos
sible only by the maintenance of lead
ership in mechanical development
sales methods and Service to the
owner. The values offered each year
in the new Indian models have ap-
pealed so strongly to motorcyclists as
to completely absorb the total output
and in fact overtaX the capacity of
the factory. On the other hand this
widespread appreciation of the Indian
features has made 1t possible for the
manufacturers to offer to riders each
succeeding year such attractive mod
els as to practically submerge compe-
tition."

HIGH COST OF LIVING
AND REASONS WHY
Improper Cultivation Of Farm
Lands and Unused Acreage
Chief Factor in Cost
BY S. S. MORTON
Mechanical Expert Morton Motor
Truck Co.

! Having spent all my life in con-
nection with modern farm machinery,
in upward of dozen foreign coun-
tries, qualities and places me in a po-
sition to discern the difference be-
tween the old and new method of
| farming. / am amused at the ideas
advanced by the lecturer and writers
on the subject as according to my way
of thinking they fail to set forth up
| to-date ideas in order to produce suf-
| ficient products of the farm land to
reduce the high cost of living. For
after all the only solution for this
high cost of living is to. obtain greater
results from the cultivation of the
SOIL Owing to the increased popula-
ton it is necessary to take proper
steps to produce modern machinery
which will encourage and induce the
young man and woman to stay on the
farm and accomplish more and better
results by way of food products with
less expense and by the elimination
of hard manual labor for the ease
and comfort of sitting upon cush-
ioned seat, controlling the machinery
by levers, ranking in the class with
the luxury of the automobile.
''It is an undeniable fact that the
horse is an expensive quantity owing
to the fact that he must be kept the
year around for about four months
work and eats too much of the grain
and hay which should be used to feed
meat and wool producing animals and
fowl.
"The writer is prepared to explain
the plan in detail and demonstrate in
part that the work can be done by
power, without any consumption of
the grain supply, which method will
accomplish the results at a reduction
of so per cent. A detailed descrip-
ton of the cost and plan of operation
of raising and handling the products
will be furnished on request.
"It is an interesting fact to note
the effort made to reduce the light
cost of living by removing the tariff
on certain articles inviting the for
eign trade which takes our gold for
every bushel of grain which comes to
this country when in fact America
should be producing the supply by
cultivating the countless acres unused
and use many which are poorly
farmed.
I'm my opinion there is no justifi-
able reason why this country cannot
with this modern farm equipment
produce results equal to the cost of
foreign grain after the transportation
has been paid"
