ARMOUR ON

By ROSS [. CONKLIN

BY ROSS l.. CONkLlN
Tommy Armour, new golf pro-
1essional at the Congressional
Country Club, blew into town to-
day to take up his duties. Fresh
from his conquests in Florida, the
former Scotch amateur champion
looked as fit as the proverbial
fiddle, though he declared that he
was q bit over-golfed and would
rest up before attempting Con-
gressional's lengthy course.
Armour was tickled to death
with his new berth. He said that
the club house and property were
among the best he had seen.
Tony Sylvester, assistant profess
sional, agreed with his boss on the
sportiness of the course.
Armour recently broke into the
winning column when he captured
the Florida professional champion
ship from a field that included the
leading professionals of the country.
Leo sDiegel, Walter Hagen, Gene
Sarazen, Johnny Farrell and others
were forced to acknowledge that in
that tournament Armour was the
better golfer.
With an. average Of 74.3 for his
medal play last year Armour
brings to Washington a profess
siOnaI who is capable Of holding

Last Friday and Saturday the
Board of Directors of the Mountain
Hcme Irrigation District were in
session the greater part of both days.
At this meeting they made the final
adjustments in the boundaries of
the district and after making a few
additions and exclusions, definitely
established the boundaries lines.
Ii was decided at this meeting Of
the board that'the settlers under the
project this year would be assessed
only for the interest on the bonds
and the maintenance charges, no
payments on the principal will be
asked and it is quite likely that this
procedure will be followed for the
next four years, thus permitting the
farmers to get a better financial foot
ing before imposing the additional
hardships.
The board organized and Clay
Groefsema was again selected as
chairman, O. E. Norel as secretary,
and o. E. Cannon, treasurer. The
appointment of a manager of the
district was deferred until the next
meeting of the board.

JOSEPH WHITE
RAILROAD PIONEER
Ferry Residents Puts In
Thirty five Years Serv-
ice With Railroad
Company

Glenns Ferry, January 13 Especial
to the Republican, ~ Joseph B
White, who will complete 35 years
of continuous service on January 26,
1926, was born at Aqueduct Station,
Pennsylvania, November 26, 1859.
At the age of eleven he hired out as
a muleshnner and teamster on the
construction work of the Pennsyl-
vania canal which has since passed
out of existence. He moved with his
family to Iowa and from Iowa to
Nebraska in 1872.
Mr.. Whites first railroad service
was with the c and A as brakeman
in 1878. During the next three
years he was employed by various
railroads. In 1881 he moved to
Grand Island, Nebraska, and went to
work for the Union Pacific as brake
man for w A. Dewell, who later be-
came superintendent. He left the
Union Pacific several times for short
periods but returned to the System
as yard master at Poeatello, January
13, 1891. He remained there until
August, 1914, at which time he was
transferred to Glenns Ferry as yard
master which position he still holds.
Mr.. White has the splendid record of
never having sustained a personal
injury since he entered railroad serv-
ice.
