WALTER J. TRAVIS DECIDES
TWO KNOTTY PROBLEMS
THAT BOTHERED GOLFERS
Tom Halton Scores Double Victory Over Herb New
ton in the Famous Bean-Pole and Out.
of-Bounds Argument
RN WIILlAM II. EVANS

Tn order that there might not be any
l. argument the golf problems that were
published in this column last Tuesday
were submitted to Walter ]. Travis,
twice the national champion and tho
only American who ever won tho British
amateur title.
1t will be remembered that two Of
them came up in n friendly match be-
tween Tom Iialton and Herb Newton.
They were playing the sixth hole NJ
Whitemarsh and along tn" fairwaN to
the left Is a war garden iiilcd with bean
poles and growing vines. Newton hooked
his ball and while the hall was IN the
fairwav he had to stand in the war
garden, which is ground under repair.
Newton claimed that he was not 0hiIg'G
TO stand in the ground under repair ana
that if he did he had the right to pull
rIp the bean poles HaltOn cout"ndrd
that he had to stand in the war garden
and that he could not bond, hr"AE or
move anything fiNed or growing in that
war garden except in taking his stance
Halton l. Two Up
Then came the second problem. New,
ton maintained that in the case or ohiI
being in bounds but where the player
had TO stand out of bounds he was not
governed by the rule concerning the
bending. breaking or moving of any
thing fixed or growing. and that as the
out of bounds was not a part of the
course hS was not affected by the rules
governing play in bounds. lialton took
the Other view and in both cases he Is
right and Newton is wrong.

both Dempsey and Fulton. Both are in
the draft. though Fulton has deferred
ella ssification As neither has done any
essential work during the last year, the
draft board of Harrison is likely to in
tcrfere before Saturday.
Pair Dodge Benefits
Fulton and Dempsey are in bad for
their failure to assist any of the benefit
boxing shows. Repeatedly they hay"
been invited to help at monster benefits
and very gracefully escaped On every
occasion. The boxing commission '"f
Jersey approves Of the bout. but it Is
understood SO many complaints have
been forwarded to the draft authorities
that they will stop the hcavyweights.

class affair. They are two Of the heSt

and are game The boys would draw
well. for they have been billed so long
that the fans are anxious to get a look

perform at the benefits, which did not
add to their prestige, they should he
given one chance, to redeem themselves
on Saturday a very good way would
be to have them give a liberal percent
age of their receipts to some war char-
ity.
Fulton started his career OF unnop-
ularity when he failed to accept any
invitations to box at benefits when max

EVERY DAY
AT THE OIL WELL

The work of drilling at the oil well
is going on at steady rate this week
The well being down, according to
Driller Fowler last evening. $50 feet.
The formation is now more solid
and is but matter of steady work
day in and day out. The formation
is sort of shale and drills quite
easily. The ten-inch casing is being
used.
Water pressure coming out between
the two castings is about the same
pressure as heretofore. and it would
undoubtedly rise to the great height
that it did before il was cased off, If
allowed to gush out freely.
full report on the analysis of the
water has not been completed by the
ported to the company that the wa
ter contains is per cent potassium
of chloride. with value of about s12
per water ton. About per cent litha
with a value of the same amount.
making the entire value per water
ton about s24 There is some soda
with a small value. II is safe to say
that the water would run about s25
per ton.

WILSON AND ARTT HAVE
SPLENDID BUNCH OF HOGS

Earl Wilson and Artt Bros. have
one of the best herds of pure bred
Duroc Jersey hogs in western Colo
rado if not in the state Their hogs
are located on the farm owned by
Artt Bros, one-half mile south of the
Fairview school and about one mile
east of the Cory postoffice.
The writer made a trip up there the
first of the week and saw their many
hogs. They have recently shipped in
from Iowa one of the best sows that
ever came to Colorado. This SOW.
while not yet two years old, weighs
$50 pounds and is not extra fat She
is full sister to the boar that won
the senior championship at the last
Iowa state fair. A litter brother sold
for $1,000. This SOW cost nice
bunch of money but she appears to
be worth it.
The young boar which they ship
ped in from Nebraska last fall is
growing very fast and at ten months
weighs better than 300 pounds and
they expect him to weigh better than
900 pounds when he is two years old
The gifts that they won first and
third on at the Montrose fair last
fall are also coming along in nice
shape and they expect to have some
nice pigs from them this next month
They have sold about 20 brood sows
in the past three weeks and they all
stay in Delta county
These boys have made some good
money out of their hogs and they
have sold about 200 head in the past
five months. They keep track of all
the feed and other expenses and know
what they are doing. 1t is well worth
ones time to visit this herd and Tom
Artt is always on the job to show
you the hogs.

INVESTIGATED BY EXPERT

During the past week Delta was
visited by George r. Joslyn of the
Portland Cement association and gave
us some facts about the paving of
Main street to the new depot.
MIR. Joslyn's rough estimate for the
Independent is as follows:
On Main street-Paving full width
of street or "A feet. the estimated
cost is $1,000 per front foot on each
side of the street. On this basis the
total assessment on 25-foot lot will
be about $3.50. or In 10 annual pay
ments. will come to about $40 per
year including interest. This esti-
mate includes the pavement com.
plete in place. also the cost of paw
ing street intersections and curbing
where necessary.
On Eaton avenue. with a 20-foot
parking strip In the center of street.
and 20 feet OF pavement on either
side. The estimated cost IL 81 per
front foot on each side OF the street.
This will include curbs around the
central parking and on the sides OF
the street. and also includes the cost
OF paving the street Intersections.
