Suggestions for Farm

Tho canals of the Columbia Irri-

among the gopher population of the
valley as the result of his work. 1t
= hoped that the ranchers along close

the operating force in keeping their
Aelds clear of these pests, as they are
constantly moving up to the ditch
hanks. Mr.. Smith will be glad to
show anyone the best way to use
these traps, and even loan a few to
those who have none. 1t is well worth
While to rid field of gophers, as it
saves lots of water and work irrigat-
inr. If we can keep the gophers and
rats out of our ditch banks, careful
handling will do the rest. We won't
have any more breaks.
Each patrolman gets out and reads
his control cages each morning, re-
porting to the manager at sharp
$50 am. He then starts out on his
heat, each of which is 15 miles on
1jJt - horseback, with about lie
measuring boxes, besides checks and
other matter, to be looked after each
day. Also Sunday. He reports to the
manager again at 6 o'clock pm. The
office cannot reach him during the
day except by special car trip o1
many miles. Each man has a fairly
regular schedule and passes any gate
about the same time each day. Wher
q water user desires change OF
head, he may reach the patrolmar
by phone message to the office, by
leaving note on the headgate, or by
seeing the patrolman. A message te
the office will be delivered that night
and executed next day, unless urgent
enough to justify a special trip. Mr.
Burfiend, on the Hedges beat, may
be reached by his phone, 3Sx4, but
the other patrolmen have only the
ditch phone.

GOLF COURSE is
In FINE SHAPE
Ladder" Contest for Place
Starts Next Sunday
Post Eligibles

A pleasant surprise awaits the
golfer who has not visited the local
links in the past ten days. The fair
ways have been rolled, the bumps
and roots dug out, and then the sur
face raked, the ridges around the
greens have been smoothed down, the
pebbles raked off, and the greens
have been tamped down, the cups
reset, new flags and tees have been
installed. The course is now in the
best shape it has ever been in and
as soon as weather conditions will
permit, the four temporary greens
will be replaced by permanent oiled
sand greens and a few more sand
traps added, making our course, with
the improvements, one of the best Of
its kind in the valley, and with its
$50 miles of scenery, easily one of
the most scenic of the small courses
of the state.
Beginning Sunday, April 5, the
ladder system will be installed, and
all players wishing a place on the
ladder must hand in match scores
played on that date, the cards to be
signed by the players and turned ov-
er to the secretary of the club. This
ladder will control the selection of
a club team for out of town matches.
The following rules have been adopt
ed:
Rule 1.-All members must play
a match game, Sunday, April 5 in
order to have name placed on lad
der. No player may place his own
name Or score on ladder but must
turn his score card in to the Sec
retary of club. Medal score for nine
holes shall prevail all ladder matches.
Rule Amy player may challenge
another player within three higher
on the ladder. A player so challenged
must play the challenger within one
week or forfeit the game. If the
challenger wins his name goes above
the one challenged. If challenger los
es he can not challenge same player
for tw oweeks. No player need accept
more than one challenge at one time,
and no player may challenge more
than two at one time.
Rule 3-No score will be official
unless made during match play, and
no player will take the place of an
other higher on the ladder unless he
makes a lower score during match
play with the player he wishes TO
replace.
Rule 4-The players holding the
first places on the ladder on the eve
ming before league or any other
game with an out-of-town team will
be the players for the game.
Beginning Sunday, a list of the
members who have paid up their dues
and are entitled to the privileges of
the club, will be posted on the club
bulletin board. Possibly it is not un-
derstood by the members of the local
club that paid up membership card
in our club, when presented at other
private clubs, such as the Country
Club at Walla Walla, and others,
gives the holder the privilege of play
ing there by paying the greens fees
so that it is to members advantage
to be in good standing in his own
club if he expects to visit any other
clubs.
Anent the above reference to pay
ing dues, j. w. Vickers Of the
grounds committee says that it also
, costs money to fix up the course.
