LIVE MONTROSE FARMER
HANDLES NEIGHBOR'S HOGS

Out on Spring Creek mesa A. A.
Loss has for several years conducted
a small packing plant, as it were,
where he butchers hogs and cures the
various pork products.
Commencing in small way, Mr..
Loss has gradually added to the plant
until now he handles about $50 hogs
winter, being occupied with farm
ing during the summer.
Mr.. Loss has shed for butchering
with scalding vat and platform for
handling the hogs.
One large room is filled with bar
rels in which the hams, shoulders,
bacon, etc., are picked. Then there
is a smoke house where the products
are properly smoked.
Another room is given over to the
making of sausage, with a power
grinder. Mr. Loss business is only
limited by his capacity, for he con-
tinually has waiting list of farmers
who want their hogs handled by him.
iiO oioc oSiio sausage III lOWh hidhIiS
deliveries twice week and is utterly
unable to keep up with the demand
His sausage is famous. People who
ordinarily do not care for sausage
;clamor for more when they taste his
production.
For the average farmer to rig up
an outfit to butcher, cut up and cure
a hog is considerable expense. Mr..
Loss will butcher hog weighing up
to 200 pounds for rs cents. He will
cut up hog, render the lard, make
| the sausage and cure and smoke the
hams, shoulders and bacon for $3.50
for hog weighing not over 200 lbs.
Above that weight charges are acr
cording to weight.
In addition to doing this custom
work for those having hogs Mr.. Loss
buys hogs and sells sausage, bacon
hams and the various country made
Mr.. Loss is contemplating erecting
larger building before another sea-
son and enlarging his capacity in or
tider to better accommodate the bust
ness that is knocking at his door. II

Cannot Withhold
Funds Of Minors.
indian Bureau Comedies That II Cannot
Lawfully Withhold AnauityEunds of Minor
Children From the Parents.

During the annual annuity pay
ment here last month much com
plant was heard on every hand
owing to the fact that the Indian
Bureau withheld annuity payments
due minor children who were at
tending either reservation or non
reservation boarding schools.
These funds we're not paid to the
parents, but were withheld on &C.
count Of the children not being at
home and for tie time being not
in the care of their parents. The
matter was referred to Mr.. Web.
ster BalliDger, Washington, d. G.,
attorney for the Chippewas. Mr..
Ballinger Immediately took the
matter up with the department
officials at Washington with the
result that the Indian Bureau has
admitted that it was in error aud
that there was no Justification
for Withholding the annuity funds
of minors, as will be seen from
the following communication from
Mr.. Ballinger to Mr.. L. B. Beaul.

those whose minor childron's an
nuity payments were withheld will
receive this money before long.

Has a player the right at any time
during the playing of a hole to ascer'
tain the number of strokes his oppo-
nent has played? Is there any pen
atty if an opponent gives the wrong
information as to the number OF
strokes he has played?
A player after teeing his ball reach
es the conclusion that the sand box
on the teeing ground interferes with
his sighting his ball. He contends
that since he is of such opinion mat
he las a perfect right to remove the
sand box. since he desires to tee off
at that particular spot. His opponent
claims that he has no such right. and
that if he feels the sand box inter
feers with his sighting the ball. he
should re-tee his ball at different
spot. Who is right?
The player who believes that the
sand box is interfering with his play
has a perfect right to remove it. A
sand box on the teeing ground is re-

ball is either an interference or an
assistance.
If a player in computing his score
in medal play makes mistake in
subtracting his handicap from his
actual number of strokes, making
the result read 81 instead of 81, does
that error disQualify him, causing his
score to be thrown out!
Such an error does not disqualify
player. 1t is the duty of the Off
cial in charge of the tournament to
take care of such thing. When the
mistake is discovered by the official
he simply makes the proper change
in the players score.
In match play. in driving from the
tee. AS ball hit BIS caddle despite
every possible effort on the part of
the cadde to avoid it. The ball re:
bounded from the caddie's back lnro a
water hazard. A had gotten off a
long ball and but for the interior
cnce BY BIS caddie would have probab-
ly have gotten good distance and a
fine lie. What about such Il hap
pening? Must A accept it as break
of the game or is there a penalty?
Under rule IS, b loses the hole be-
cause of interference by his caddie
with AS ball while it was in motion.
1t matters not where the interfer
ence took place. For a penalty TO
be imposed it is only necessary that
there was interference.
Player driver his ball into a casual
water in hazard which is Il dry
ditch except in wet weather. From
the tee the ball could be seen to splash
in the water. The grade and the cur
rent carried the ball from its posi-
ton in the hazard TO casual water in
the green. Should the ball be return
ed TO the hazard where it first struck.
or has the player the right to lift it
from the position in which it was
found and drop it without penalty?
In the case cited, the "breaks" of
the game favored the player who had
given his ball into hazard which
was ordinarily dry ditch but filled
with wafer because of q recent heavy
rain. When the player came upon his
ball and found it i'm casual water

ried to such position by the flow
Of water from the hazard. the player
had the right to lift his ball and drop
it without penalty.
In four-ball match, through the
green. a player plays when an or
ponent should have done so. If the
mistake is noticed. should the stroKe
be recalled? What if a similar thing
happens on the putting green? is
there any penalty in either situa-
ton?
II in playing through the green,
q player plays when it is his Oppon.
ent's turn. the stroke Is not recalled.
However. on the putting green the
stroke may be recalled by an Oppon-
ent. No penalty is incurred in either
case.

In Golf Code.

Washington, ID. C.. Oct. 25.-Nick
Altrock. the well-knOwn baseball
clown. was out on the links of a fash
ionable club chasing the elusive Mr..
Par.
On one of the tees Mr.. Altrock
was poised to strike. His ball was
out a yard or so in advance of the
tee markers, behind which all drives
must be made.
A club member was waiting to
play behind Mr.. Altrock. He no.
ticed that Mr.. Altrock was playing
in front Of the tee markers instead
of behind them.
The gentleman was shocked and
observed caustically:
persons should learn the rules of
the game before attempting to play. "
Mr.. Altrock withered him with n
look.
This is not my drive, sir. 1t is
my second shot"
