Wafer Question
BOth0rS Officers
COUNCIL WILL ADOPT METER SYSTEM
Meters Will Be Installed Whenever Sp7inkIiEg Per-
mitS Are Granted.

The mayor, water committee.
and the water commissioner are
having troubles of their own these
days The hot days are playing
havoc with those lawns where the
owners have been i'm the habit of
using unlimited quantities of
water and the owners are beseig-
ing the officials with telephone
calls and personal petitions ask
ing for permits to sprinkle.
The water i'm the reservoir is
barely holding ills own and the
water commissioner feels that if
permits to sprinkle are given

The mayor and councilmen
have come To the decision that
the only solution TO the water
question is TO have all of lhe con-
sumers put ON meters and have
decided to- order this done. This.
however, will take time and the
question of lawn sprinkling is a
vital one right now and the Of
hcials realize that something
must be done at once or many of
the lawns Will be permanently
ruined. With this i'm mind they
have decided TO apply the meter
system at once. There are some
meters on hand and more have

National Bank
for St. MarieS
APPLICATION FOR CHARTER APPROVED
Capital Stock twenty-five Thousand Will
Operation Within Ten Days.


That st. Maries is to have
national bank is now a positive
fact. The application TO organ
ne the First National Bank of 81.
Maries has been formally approx
ed by the secretary of the treas
ury and the charter for the new
Institution will be here i'm a few
days.
The other two banks and their
friends strongly opposed the
granting Of the application, urg-
ing that Two banks were enough
for a city Of this size and that the
organization of another would
tend to weaken those already here.
These arguments, coupled with
the run ON the Kootenai Bank,
had some effect which delayed
matters for a time. The pro-
moters continued to urge the mat
ter and succeeded i'm having a
special examination made at
about the time that certain stock
holders of the KoOlenai County
bank bought the stock of the
Lumbermens bank and consoli-
dated the two institutions. The
special bank examiner, Fred
Brown, reported favorably and
the secretary of the treasury inn
mediately approved the applica-
ton, the approval being made
July 3Oth.
Te new bank will be known as
the Fist National Bank of 81.
Maries. Its capitol stick is
S25, 900, divided into $50 shares
and sold at a ten per cent prem
ium. A meeting of the stock
holders of the new institution has
been called for Saturday, August
7th, at $500 p. m. at the Offices
of Attorney William ID. Keeton,
at which time the board of di-
doctors and the officers of the
bank will be elected.
The bank will be open and Go-
ing business within a week or
ten days. It's exact location has
not been definitely decided upon
as yet. Some of the promoters
are in favor of putting up new
bank building on r.. b. Hays cor
ner, opposite Platl's hospital. If
this is done it will naturally take
some time and The bank will open
temporarily in some others quar-
ters until the new building is
completed. One of the promot-
ers stated positively that i'm any
event the bank owuld be located
within a block of the old Kootenai
County bank building.
The promoters and slockhold-
ers of the new bank are among
the wealthiest anc heaviest prop
erty owners in the city and are
all men who enjoy the confidence
OF the people of the community.
The bank also has strong outside
connections and a party, himself
a banker, but with no interest in
this institution but in a position
to know, informed the writer that
it would be one of the strongest
national banks i'm northern Idaho.

PROFESSIONAL JUDGES
FOR Big rowing RACE
Officials of Yale and Harvard Uni
versihes to Do Away with Anna
teur Arbiters at Regatta.

New Haven. Conn. Jan. 3.-Profes-
Sional judging will replace amateur at the
finishes of future boat races of Yale and
Harvard. If the scheme that the rowing
officials of both universities have dis
cussed Informally is put through.
They will hold their annual meeting to
frame an annual regatta agreement in a
few days, and there seems no doubt that
one of the clauses will declare that there
shall be three professional finish judges
selected by reason of their experience in
deciding the result of athletic events.
The trio who will be selected may be
chosen because they have figured at the
finishes of horse races on the Grand Cir
cult or because they have judged finishes
OF intercollegiate track meets. One sug-
gestion made is that the matter be turned
over to the New York Athletic Club with
recommendation that the club assume
the responsibility for furnishing the men.
Yale and Harvard feel that they had a
close call from a miX-up last June when
the finish of their main boat race. with
the prows OF the shells only two or three
inches apart, was judged by amateurs,
one an assistant undergraduate official at
Yale, one at Harvard and the third the
postmaster of New London. Not one OF
the three had ever officiated at such an
event before. but they hurriedly rendered
a unanimous verdict and vowed never
to get caught in such a predicament
again.

Stymies Unfair Is
Golfers Opinion
Jerome Travers, Famous Am
ateur, Is Latest to Join OPP
ponents of Links Bogie.
is A REAL HANDICAP

Scarcely anything in the world is more
through the medium OF a stymie, and
there are so many persons who have had
that experiences that it accounts largely
for the present sentiment in favor of its
abolition. Even Jerome ID. Trayers, erst-
while national amateur champion, has
gone on record that stymies are unfair.
II a golfer is so annoyed at one of these
trouble makers, how much more his feel
ings must be hurt when it happens that
half a dozen of them are laid during a
round. Watt Smith tells the tale Of how
one woman in a national championship
had the misfortune to encounter five
stymies of one kind or another in her
first round. She had three on her sec
ond. and while only one was encounter
ed on her third, it probably played an i'm
portant part, for it was laid on the six
teenth green, where the match was all
even. In one of the Lakewood tourna-
ments several years ago Walter J. Travis
and Fred Herreshoff met with similar
handicaps.
In the last tournament of the Trans
Mississippi Golf Association John d.
Cady. ultimate winner of the title, found
It necessary to play an extra hole in
one Of his early rounds because his op-
ponent had laid him no less than five
stymies Smith tells of an experience
of his own, as follows:
ut was one match in an interclub con-
test. We had eight stymies in the course
Of the eighteen holes, and the Nassau
count was determined by a decision as
to whether or not the balls Jay within
six inches of each other on the seven
teenth green. / happened to win for
my side. but where was the satisfaction
OF it? felt as il we might have just
as well dipped a coin and not have played
ats all"
Apropos of how a stymie might figure
in the result of match, the following
from the other side well illustrates the
point:
"A Hamilton golfer the other day, play
ing in a knockout tournament, had the
extraordinary experience of being laid
six stymies in one round OF eighteen
holes. As he was conceding seven strokes
to his opponent this additional handicap
was pretty stiff and probably made all
the difference in the result for he was
beaten by to 1. He was laid five stymies
in the course Of seventeen holes, and in
ploying out the bye was laid yet another
on the home green-six in all. As far
as our recollection serves this match
must be a record run of misfortune"

Cornell to Enter
q. w. Track Meet
Ithacans May Race University
of Virginia in Relay Event.
To Send Many Athletes.
ENTRIES TO CLOSE TODAY

Cornell University will enter the sew
enth annual indoor track meet of the
George Washington University, to be
held February 10 at Convention Hall.
Definite announcement to this effect was
made last night by Prof. Leslie Cleve-
land McNemaT. faculty director of ath-
letics for the Hatchetites. a letter OF
acceptance has just been received from
the institution.
Efforts now are being made to arrange
for a relay race between Cornell and
the University of Virginia. Cornell has
an exceptionally fine two-mile team and
Virginia has a creacker-jack one-mile
squad. so a little difficulty is being en-
countered in agreeing upon the distance
to be run in the proposed event. A salts
factory decision in the matter will be
reached within a few days, IL is expected.
Cornell Will send large contingent to
the meet and the athletes will be well
coined royalty by members of the Cor
nell Alumni Association of Washington.
Arrangements now are-being completed
to give a reception and dinner to the
track men at the New Ebbitt preceding
the meet.
Officially entries for the meet close to-
day, but it is expected several days of
grace will be extended to would-be par
Elephants in the affairs. Already Prof.
McNemar has received hundreds of en-
tries. and the influx will continue in even
increasing numbers until about the mid
die of the week.
Acceptances TO enter the meet have
been received from a score or more OF
institutions, but this number will be aug
mented materially within the next few
days as a dozen or so organizations
have not been heard from yet. a revised
list of the institutions scheduled to enter
the meet will be issued the latter part
OF the week.

BERNARD EXPECTS TO
WIN In HANDICAP
Local Italian Confident He Can Stand
Of Jo eTurner in Hour Match
at the Majestic.

Tony Bernard. the local Italian demon,
will be put to a real test when he meets
Joe Turner, the middle-weight champion
of the world. Wednesday night in their
handicap match at the Majestic Theater.
Turner beat Bernard in a finish affair
two years ago, and has always proved
to be equal to any occasion which he con-
tracts. Should the local rough-house
grappleT stand him OF for the sixty
minute limit he will be putting himself in
line for a finish match for the title.
Bernard is confident OF beating Turner
on Wednesday. and goes as far as saying
that he may gain a fall over the cham
pion before time is called. The middle
weight title holder has agreed to throw
the local Italian demon twice in one hour
or forfeit a purse OF 500 in real money.
The advance sale of seats is already
large and the largest crowd of the sea-
son is expected to turn out for this affair.

FOOTBALL RULES NOT
LIKELY TO BE CHANGED
Intercollegiate Rules Committee to
Meet Friday, but No Important
Action Is Anticipated.

New York. Jan. 31.-The intercol-
Iegiate football rules committee will
hold its annual meeting here Friday
and Saturday. E. K. Hall. the chair
man. anticipates no changes Of import
ance in the rules. and believes that
such changes as may be made will be
principally in the mere wording OF the
rules. However. many suggestions re-
gardinE the use of the forward pass are
likely to come before the committee.
That the outcome will probably be
few limitations on the use OF the for
ward pass. is the opinion Of Coach
HaughtOn, of Harvard.
The personnel OF the rules committee
is expected to remain the same as 1t
was last year. since at the meeting OF
the National Collegiate Athletic AsSo-
citation in Chicago last December the
seven men on the rules committee were
renamed.
