The Next Stand.


Kirkby has played some remarkable
golf around New York and against very
fine fields that yielded hard competi-
ton. He has won the Jersey title
three times first from Travers, next
frim Risley, and then from Max
Marston.
He has won the metropolitan title
twice-frst from Travis in the finals
and then from Herreshof.
To land these titles he has been
called upon to beat At odd times such
golfers as Jerry Travers, Walter j.
Travis, Max Marston, Reggie Lewis
and Fred HerreshofF. And TO arrive he
was forced TO play brilliant golf at
almost every stand.
golfer who can travel unbeaten
through fields must be ranked around
the top with the amateur stars of the
game. Yet it has fallen to Kirkby's lot
to have the toughest sort of luck in the
amateur championships. and it is this
showing in the past that he hopes to
erase from the slate this fall.

fourteen strokes above his average
game of the week before. Feeling
badly out Of sorts he was unable to
get going with any club in the bag.
In view Of this second setback and
with business taking up most Of his
time. Kirkby was able TO play but little

Kirkbys game has developed stead
lily. Always capable of brilliant play,
he has now added consistent steadi-
ness to his game that makes him a
hard opponent TO dethrone. In the
Jersey championship, for example, he
finished but one stroke behind the
leader in medal play and then won the
title. In the metropolitan he finished
again but one stroke behind the medal
play winner and again went through
unbeaten. Always good from the tee
and with long irons, Kirkby has ma
terially improved the steadiness OF his
short game. He is now one of the
best in the land at the chip shot from
off the green and is also a much better
putter than he ever was before. at
least from the viewpoint of s;eadiness
on the greens, rather than brilliancy
There are very few in the sport who
can get as much distance from the tee
or who can outrange him with driv-
ing iron or midIron. And those who
can are hardly likely to be as straight
down the course SO unless there is
a big change and another big upset.
there will be at least one additional
star az the next amateur championship
who was not in the hunt at Garden
City or Ekwanok or Detroit.

Al Merton.

But there should be a different story
10 relate at Merton for several reasons
In the first place Kirkby is now playing
the best golf he has ever played. and
he has furnished his share of high
grade play. He gave evidence OF this,
not only by winning two big titles, but
by travelling over the Hackensack
course in So, tieng the record, when
he and Carter defeated Travers and
Marston in a four-ball match. In the
second place the double titleholder in
tends to give this next championship
his closest attention, starting at least a
week before the tournament.
In the third place Merton suits
Kirkby's style of play well beyond the
average golfers. as there is a call both
for distance and direction with the
wood and iron.
And there isn't any amateur now in
the game who is using the wood and
the long iron to better effect.

1t is about time. too, that the I'M
kempt Fate which has pursued Kirby
in the amateur championship should
turn its attention elsewhere. A fate
not quite so rough has helped remove
Chick Evans in his first round at his
last two championship starts, and he
is another who is looking toward
Merton for revenge.

BIG INCREASE PREDICTED
IN AUTOMOBILE TOURING
Credit Given to improvement in
Roads and the Mapping

Automobile touring covering every
section of the country this year will
show an increase Al least double that
of last year. which was a record break
err. sa id an official of the America n
Automobile Association. Many con-
ditions contribute to this situation.
such the large increase in ownership
and the impossjhility of foreign tour
ing, although the fundamental factor
lies in the enormous increase of road
construction that is taking place in
so many states that have heretofore
neglected their highways.
Up TO last year touring was largely
done by those who lived where finished
road areas were well defined and un-
derstood. but the long time and excel
lent WORK carried ON by the national
touring bureaus of the American Auto
mobile Association. both at its Wash
iugton and al its New York city head
quarters. came to be fully appreciated
as clearing houses of touring data and
knowledge. Automobile owners in
every section of the United States tool

nearly every possible route combina-

"In these groups were many who made
their inquiry with curiosity as their
incentive, and when they found that
route combinations could be linked to-

NEW ROAD EXPECTED

also undergo reconstruction, thus pro-
viding suita BILE highways between two
important towns in Charles county.
At a largely attended meeting held
recently in the courthouse at La Plata
the topic of good roads was discussed
and a decision reached in the matter.
state Senator Mudd explained the OBJ
iect of the meeting, and Delegate
Mitchell addressed the gathering, in
which he outlined the plans in connec-
ton with the Riverside road Two
years ago F Stone Posey of La Plata,
when he was a member of the leSlsla-
ture, endeavored to build this road.
but did not meet with the success he
desired. 1t was this same road, how
ever. that the people voted for recently.
After deciding the question as to
which should be the next road in the
county to construct, the proposition
that next faced the meeting was the
financing of the scheme. 1t was pointed
out that the legislature, which has
just adjourned, appropriated only
money enough to connect up missing
links in the state roads highway Sys-
tenn already under construction. There
fore if any more roads were to be
built other means had to be adopted
for securing the necessary funds for
the work.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to build the road under the
state aid law, Charles county's share
of money under this system being
about $lG,000. Under this plan, in
der to get the benefit of the $4,000
from the state, a like amount had to
he raised by the county. This $4,000
could be Ia Used by the county levying
$4,000 for the purpose at the annual
levy in June. and then in January. 1917,
borrow $4,000. This method of raising
money could be continued for four
years, when ii is expected that the
road could be finally completed. 1t is
this same plan that is to be followed
during the next two years to build the
road from Hughesville to Benedict, the
popular fishing village on the banks
of the PdtuNent river and where the
British troops landed and marched
overland to attack the capital of the
nation in 1914. During the following
SIX years the county is to levy annually
$4,000 until the loans are liquidated
In addition to the IeNying of the $1,000
each year it is also planned to levy
money borrowed each year.

SHELLEY IS THE
COMING TOWN
SOWED ITS WILD OATS AND
OUTGROWING IT'S NEIGHBORs
GOT A JOKE ON ITSELF

Shelley is the metropolis in the north
end of Bingham county. 1t Is close
to the county line between Bingham
and Bonneville, and the two counties
taken together are sometimes called
Bingville for short. In the division
of the old county, Shelley was much
desired by both counties, but the
town preferred to remain in Bing-
ham. If county division had been
left for a few years longer, Shelley
might have become the county seat
and prevented division at all. AS II
is, Shelley is developing into good
commercial center without the handi-
cap or the advantages of a county
seat.
Shelley is a one-man town, having
been founded by John F. Shelley
nearly a quarter of a century ago.
Mr.. Shelley labored in season and out
for it's development, and the town Is
q monument to his foresight ana IN
dustry. When he began, the whole
country lay open, and anybody that
wanted to could 60 in and take their
choice and develop what they wanted
to. In that time, many made their
living and added a fortune to the bal
ance in their favor. Others have not
done SO we'll and this would probably
be true of any other community
under the sun. l n California there
was a conspicuous example OF set
tlement started about the same time
where everything was held In COM
mon, and nobody had any more than
everybody else. The settlement at
tracted all the idle dreamers and MIN
kompoops that could pack up and
get there. They had nothing to lose
but their time and nobody considered
that worth anything. The settlers
never had anything for certain but
their appetites. If the good ship Os-
car the Second had been large enough
to carry them, Henry Ford could nave
gotten all of them for the peace trip
to Europe. But there would not nave
been anything certain in them but
their wants. He could rely on that.
When Shelley town was founded,
it was not laid out that way. The
fellow who could make good and the
fellow who could not, were admitted
to the contest on equal terms, and
time told the story. The town has
been attracting a lot of people with
pep, and pep is bringing Shelley into
its own. 1t is getting to be ship
ping point of considerable magnitude
The railroad runs thru the center
of town, and that gives it double
wharf room. The railroad right-of-
way constitutes the pier or dockyards
of the port, and shippers of produce
are thick as fleas along the docks.
They have facilities for quick hand
ling of car lots, and train loads Of
hay, grain, potatoes and mill-stuff
can be passed from producer to con-

DEATH OF JOHNATHAN WEAVER

Johnathan Hilbert Weaver died at
the hospital at Brigham, Monday
evening, October 10, following an op-
Grafton and siege of typhoid fever
He was taken i'll on the last day OF
September and went to the hospital
on the first of October.
On the twenty-ninth Of September
1915, Mr.. Weaver married Miss Nor
ma Caldwell in the temple at Salt
Lake City, and the illness which had
been developing, made it necessary
for him to go to the hospital where
he passed away as above stated. He
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Johnathan
H. Weaver of Rich, and one of the
estimalhe young men of that COM
munity. His parents and Bishop
Caldwell were with him at the time
of the operation and death. The
remains were, brought home Thurs
day morning, and the funeral will be
conducted at the Thomas hall this
afternoon at 1 o'clock. The remains
will be inferred at the Thomas-River-
side cemetery.
