Present Ch a m pion s
Have Chance to Con-
tinue M o nopo ly
Stranger at Pocono
BY SANDY McNIRLICK

TOMORROW 40 hand-picked delegates
i from four different golf clubs will go to
grips for the team championship Of the
Philadelphia Golf Association.
Among those present will be small
squad of gray-haired and otherwise veterans
representing Huntingdon Valley. Not many
new faces will be found in it's ranks It's
something like a mlllion-dollar infeld. It
grinds out victories. 1t now holds the
championship belt and It does not intend
for a minute to let go.
Then there's an entirely new squad of
golfmen who will enter the tilts tomor-
row over the course of the Philadelphia
Country Club.
This is the shooters from Aronmlnk who
hammered their way into the match play
by finishing only three shots behind Hunt
ingdon Valley, the champions. This new
group OF golfers may stir up the still
waters of the annual meet.
But it looks as though the principal con-
test for the cup will be as of yore, be-
tween Huntingdon Valley and the Philadel-
phla Country Club, which latter will be
playing on its home course
The Country Club led all the rest home
in the qualifying round when It was %
strokes better than the nearest club, or
an average of four strokes better to the
man,
There will be four.ball play in the morn
ing and single matches in the afternoon to-
morrow and the next day.
Most fans feel that Huntingdon Valley
will continue on its sunny way as cham
pions over another year. The team will
be led by Cameron B. Buxton, fresh from
his triumphs in the individual champion
ship of the city He Is playing a brand of
golf that none of the locals seems to be able
to stnp.
NJ. C. Burton, trouncer of Sidney Shar-
wood, and Hugh Willoughby, former cham
have the confidence to bowl over an adver-
sary or two.
George w. EllSins Jr., is another Hun
tingdon Valley man who has been showing
many experts pair of heels lately and he
will be big asset to the team.
There are few golfers capable of beating
Harold Mcfarland right now and he may
play No. 2 for the champions. Dr. Simon
Carr, Richard Mott, Dr. M. X. Neiffer, H.
and others will make up formidable line
and 1t will take some very heavy cannonad-
ing to shatter their chances
A Big Man, Little Mountain
This will be the nineteenth crack at the
title. Merton won it in 1897, the first year
the bunting was shaken out Huntingdon
Valley has won it IL times and the Coun-
try Club the other eight.
Cecil Calvert who cleaned up all kinds
of tournaments last year and was the star
of the season, greeted many friends at
Aronimink this week, and said he was in
elegant shape for another season on the

Baltimore on Sunday Donovan learned that
Maisel will not bo able to play again this
season, as his broken collar-bone was not
set properly and had to be broken over
again.
To make matters worse for the Yankees
Frank Gilhooley, who has been playing brill
liant ball throughout the season, broke his
right leg sliding into third base in the 11th
inning of Mondays game in Washington
and will be out or the game for at least
six weeks. This makes 1t imperative that
star outfielder be got ut once and Huston

At the meeting of the town trus-
tees Tuesday night it was decided
to make a number Of temporary i'm
provements of the towns burial
grounds. Councilman Reed sug-
gested that the town turn the GEM
etery over to a cemetery associa-
ton and that this organization con-
sist of representatives of the various
lodges of the city, the stock being
issued to the lodges. This propo-
sition has met with a great deal of
favor from all the citizens of the
town and will probably be taken up
at once by the lodges.
The present burial grounds are
poorly fenced, there is but little
available land left and it is utterly
impossible to keep it in any kind
of shape.

Allen Moody was fined $40 and
costs in Justice Kings court last
Friday afternoon upon being found
guilty of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The fine was served
out in the county Jail. Moody pur-
chased a blank poll tax receipt from
laborer on the local sewers, the
receipt having been given by mis-
take to the man when he drew his
time at the Office of the sewer con-
tractors. Moody filled out the blank
and then pretended that he had paid
his poll tax to Marshall Sawyer.
In the county Jail Moody was al
lowed the freedom of the corridor.
In cell opening into the corridor
Sheriff Worley has locked up a
quantity of whiskey and beer which
is being kept as evidence. Moody
learned of the presence of the liquor
and came near having a chance to
test its quality when with a cane he
reached through the bars and pulled
the whiskey jug to the cell door. He
was caught in the act by Sheriff
Morley and thereafter Moody's free
dom was somewhat restricted.

Mining Boom Due Here

A. ]. Kent believes he has suffi-
cient evidence now on hand of the
presence of rare and high priced
minerals in ore which has been
found in various claims he is inter-
ested in to warrant good sized in
vestments and continued develop
ment. He recently received an assay
which shows a large percentage of
molybdenum, a mineral which is
used in making blue dyes. He also
has been assured of the presence of
sheelite and other very precious
minerals. Many other mining men
of this vicinity share Mr.. Kent's
belief that this district is on the eve
of big mining boom and that il
will result in the uncovering of
large bodies of rich ore.

CONCENTRATION STARTS SOON
Idaho Continental Mill viii Handle
$50 Tons Daily

J. A. Bushnell, expert machinist
who has been installing machinery
in the new Idaho Continental mill
above Porthill, was in town last Fri
day. He states that the new con-
centrator is soon to start operations.
1t is an up to date plant with a
few additional improvements that
are the very latest in that line. 1t
will handle $50 tons of ore in "a
hours. A force of men are finish
ing the inside woodwork of the mill
and a few other minor details of
construction. A small portion of the
old machinery was rebuilt and
used in forming parts of the new
plant.
Mr.. Bushnell says the roads above
Porthill are in good shape, no rock
or snow slides, but there a few
places where melting snow has made
mud holes in the mountain section
He met three men from Minnesots
who were looking for a place tc
start a cattle ranch. They were ia
vorably impressed with the section
around Porthill. They thought the
facilities for taking care of a large
herd the best they had seen in theil
entire trip through the west.

CITYDADS WANT
ROAD MONEY
Claim Session Laws Of 1913 Have Not
Been Complied With = Attorneys
Will Investigate
AMOUNT DUE is ABOUT $500
Law Provides for City to Get rs Per
Cent Of General Road Fund

The city board of trustees, at its
regular meeting Tuesday night, in
structed the city attorneys, Bottum
& Wilson, to request of Boundary
county the sum required to be paid
over to Incorporated towns and vii
lagos from the county general road
fund. The city attorneys were also
instructed to investigate and if adj
visable take steps to collect the ap-
portionments due Bonners Ferry
from the general road fund for the
years 1914 and 1915, the law gov
erning this division of road money
having been passed by the state leg
islature in 1913.
This law provides that 25 per cent
of all tax money received by each
county under the general road levy
and levied upon property within the
limits of Incorporated towns and vii
lagos shall be turned over to the
towns and villages within which the
money was collected, the said money
to be used for street and road pur-
poses. This provision was not COM
piled with when Bonners Ferry was
a part of Bonner county.
There is a question whether OF
not Boomers Ferry will be able tc
collect the money due from previ-
Gus years but there is no question
but that the city will receive the ap-
portionment for 1915.
The amount of the general roaC
levies for the past three years ha:
varied, but the city attorneys esti
mate that if the city collects tht
money due it the treasury will b'
richer by about $500.
The city of Standpoint, in old Bon
ner county, is also proceeding to col
lect its share of the road tax lev!
and it is understood will sue if thu
county commissioners do not recog
nize the city's claim.
The city dads also took up tn
matter of regulating the dumping o
garbage on the city grounds on tn
north side of the Kootenai river
1t was decided that the ground
should be cleaned up and that here
after all garbage should be dumpe
in a ravine where it could be GOV
cred with dirt. Combustible matte
) will be burned and only tin cans
bottles, etc., will be buried. ]. "
Reid was appointed to look after tn
matter The trustees plan to pas
an ordinance in the near future reg
ulating the handling of garbage.
AS soon as the sewer work
completed the city will provide an
other wagon to haul garbage fror
the parts of the city which wer
not visited week ago Saturday o
account of the obstructed streets
The date that this wagon will b
put on will be announced later.
The trustees spent a greater pol
ton of the evening discussing tw
2 ordinances which were brought bt
fore them and which have to d
with the regulating of sewer cor
] nections.
