The entire ticket nominated at the town
caucus was elected by majorities ranging
from to votes, with the exception Of
Newton Todd for trustee from the sec.
ond district, who was defeated by Geo.
Babcock by majority of three votes.
The vote on license gave the people of
the town a surprise, not only to the
vets, but to drys as well; the latter had
figured that the election would be very
close on the liquor question. There
were 53 votes cast for and rs against it.
This is the first time in the history of
the town that it was voted dry by its
own people.

In most of the cities and towns Of the

WOULD
MAKE 1T
OF STAG

Frank C. Ross, retired finan
cier, came to The Times office to-
day to applaud our editorial of
Thursday suggesting that the
shelters excess Stag be used to
construct a breakwater at Old
Town for the benefit of the fish
ing fleet.
Incidentally he added a sugges-
ton of his own which would
broaden the project into one oil
prime civic importance.
Briefly, his proposal is to con-
struct breakwater, perhaps ESQ
feet wide, extending from the
present smelter pier at the outer
harbor line southwark, and par
allel with the shore, to Old Town.
That would form a basin 500
TO 1000 feet wide and about two
miles long eventually.
Not only would it make an
ideal inner harbor for an i'm
mense fishing fleet, but, Mr.. Ross
points out, 1t would form an ideal
site for sawmills.
Theycould receive their logs
from the outer harbor through
tunnels made in the breakwater,
and the breakwater would serve
also as splendid foundation for
the mills and as a great, perma-
nent dock.
w. r. Rust, president of the
smelter company, is out of the
city at present, but the idea will
be brought to his attention
promptly on his return.

are declared to be enormous, in
an effort to batter their way to

1t was admitted in military cir

ETC., were appropriated gradually
in the annual budget from 1911
to 1915, and the Jefferson park
golf course became a reality, and
was opened for use May IL,
1915. The expense to the city of
Seattle on account of the golf
course aggregates about $4,000,
of which 100000 was for the
land (not real value, however,
and $4,000 for improvements
such as grading, water system,
fertilization, seeding, ETC., and
including a modern club house.
Had the clearing and grubbing
been by paid labor. it would have
probably cost an additional
$4,000.
The question of fees to be
charged was a knotty problem,
public sentiment being divided as
to whether the course should be
free, as it is in many cities, or
whether fees should be charged.
Decide on Fee System
Inasmuch as numerous city Of
ficials from Mayor H. C. Gill
down, had ridiculed the idea of a
public golf links, and as large
percentage of the citizens had
criticized the expenditure of pub
lie funds for what was erroneous
ly termed rich mans game"
the board decided to endeavor to
make the course self-sustaining
and the following schedule of
fees was put into effect:
Single game, rs cents; day
ticket, SO cents; monthly ticket,
So; annual ticket, Sc; locker and
club house privileges Sc year.
This is the highest schedule of
fees charged by any public golf
course in the United States and
the park board was in suspense
for time as to the outcome,
fearful of possible objection on
the part of the players as re-
CARDS the fees, on the one hand,
land on the other hand host of
critics ready to harp over the
| failure of the course.
The outcome, however, has ex-
ceeded the fondest expectations.
The fees have been paid cheer
fully and the course, within five
months from the date of opening
has demonstrated that 1t is going
to be self-sustaining with a
slight margain for improvements.
Will Pay Handsomely
The revenues from the course
for the first five months aggre-
gated $7,649 and a conservative
estimate places the annual reve-
nue. of the course at $4,000.
Experience has shown that the
expense of the operation of the
course will be about $4,000 a
year, which will be the maximum,
while the revenues will no doubt
increase without increasing the
operating expense.
/ The number of annual tickets
taken out up to Oct. ID, was 425.
while from 20 to 100 game tick
cts are purchased daily by guests
and transients. The maximum
number of players to use the
lconrse in a single day during the
1915 season was 327 on Sunday,
Oct. 10, of which 1872 were annn-

lent not only for the new players,
but also for persons who are
members of the golf clubs which
are located outside of the city and
require considerable time and an
automobile to reach.
The beginners in the main,
have been purchasing game tick
cts and gradually as they become
more Interested in the game,
they take out annual tickets.
While the majority of persons
who do not play or understand
the game are inclined to ridicule
1t, 1t need only be said that ex-
perience has proved that 80 per
cent of the persons who learn the
game get the bug" and are en-
thusiasts.
Descriptive of the Seattle
course, 1t is a full sized 1S-hole
course, covering tract of 1O1
acres of land. The total yardage
of the drives is $500, the longest
being 495 yards.
The site of the course is $50
feet above sea level and as 1t is
but a mile away from the harbor,
the scenic outlook is all that could
be desired, with a panoramic view
in all directions. the city to the
north and south, Puget Sound and
the Olympic mountains to the
west and Lake Washington and
the Cascade mountains to the
east.
The club house has locker
rooms, shower baths, etc., for
both men and women and a gen.
eral lounging room and restau-
rant. There Is also a dressing
and shower room for game ticket
purchasers.
Honor Two Enthusiasts
In recognition of Edward c.
Cheasty, the park commissioner
who labored SO persistently for
many years to have it establish-
ed and who met tragic death
just before it was opened for use,
the park board has named the
boulevard leading to the golf
course from the main boulevard
system, "Cheasty Boulevard"
In recognition of the aid rem
dered by Sherwood Gillespy a
memorial fountain has been erect
ed by his friends near the first
| tee.
George B. Lamping, successor
to Mr.. Cheasty on the park board,
is an enthusiastic golfer, upon
whom has fallen the burden of
directing the many details In
connection with the opening and
operating of the course and to
Mr.. Lamping and his optimistic
spirit and determination to make
the golf course a success, is due
a great deal of the credit for the
final outcome.
Municipal golf in Seattle is an
unqualified success, and 1t is pre-
dicted that another season Will
FIND the Jefferson park course
taxed to its capacity and an adj
dftional course necessary.
