OLD AGE ON LINKS IS T One of the largest and most enthus iastic meetings ever held by Warner Grange was that at New Era Satur day. More than 100 members were in attendance. The sentiment of the grage almost was unanimous against the bonding system for building roads. Captain J. T. Apperson spoke on agriculture and declared that grow ing vegetables- was more profitable than growing the usual farm prod ucts. C. T. Dickinson, of Oswego, state deputy and Miss Hazel Paquet, of Evening Star Grange, of Multnom ah County, also spoke. A. J. Lewis, formerly fruit inspector gave an in teresting lecture on tree spraying. Mrs. F. J. Meindl, of Portland, spoke of equal suffrage. IcD&rmotrs Play In Scotland Will Afford Gonlrasr. YOUNG MAN LEADS N AMERICA Abroad ths Leading Golfers Are Men In Their Pol-tie's, While on This Side of the Atlantic' the Best Players Are Young Men. The advance of John J. McDermott. open champion of the United States, on the British title at Muirfield. Scot land, will afford one of the most strik ing contrasts between golf in this country and Great Britain in that youth leads in the United States, while age Is at the forefront abroad. It has been suggested that If we were to select the twenty leading ama teurs on this side of the big pond not more than five of tbem would be men who have passed the thirty-five-year-old mark. Chick Evans, the Chi cago marvel, the first American ama teur to win a big event open to pro fessionals, left the Northwestern uni versity when he was a junior to enter business. He is generally regarded as America's most representative golfer. Albert Seckel, who won the western amateur championship last year, Is a student at Princeton. Henry Heyburn. the Pennsylvania state champion, is an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania. Jerome D. Travers, the metropolitan and New Jersey state title holder, is still In the twenties. All the leading players in Chicago, a city famed for its big players, are men who are either In college or have but recently gradu ated. Prominent among them, in ad dition to Evans and Secke, are Mason Phelps, a former western champion; Warren K. Wood, national runner up in 1910; D. E. Sawyer and Paul and Robert E. Hunter. The same Is true of the New York players. Of the older players there are only Wa Iter J. Travis, Findlay Douglas and John M. Ward. Our present national open champion. John McDermott.the Philadelphia boy who is the professional at the Country club at Atlantic City, is only twenty two years old. Abroad the leading golfers, both am ateur and professional, are men In the forties. Harold Hilton, the interna tional champion, is past forty, as is John Ball. These two men have held the British amateur championship be tween them for years. The leading professionals, Harry Varden, James Braid, Taylor. Duncan and other big "pros,"' are approaching the half cen tury mark. American aggregation, i.awy in fact, doesn't see any reason why he should not add t his" other laurels the title of amateur heavyweight wrestling champion of the world. And hereby hangs a story. , On: e the idea entered his mind. Rose went to Professor George Meihling of the Olympic club of San Francisco and suggested That he would like, a few pointers. "Sure," answered Meihling. - "Come right out on the mat." - Ralph, nothing loath, stripped for ac tion, - Meihling explained a few of the holds and then proceeded to demonstrate them In person. That was where the : x -v. -r Uj J . ...m& j BAIiPH BOSK PUTTING TBS SHOT. trouble commenced. Meihling, a lilllpu tian compared to the giant Rose, discov ered that he couldn't execute the holds on the monster. His arms were not long enough to reach around Rose's body, and, all in all, It was a miserable fail ure. So Meihling, full of resources, did the next best thing. He stood at one side and explained the holds in theory. If not la practice. "The worst about the whole thing," was the comment of the Instructor, "is that when I am on the floor with Rose on the aggressive the referee can't even see me. much less figure out whether Rose Is entitled to a fall."

Great Shot Putter Aspires to Be Ama teur Wrestling Champion. Ralph Rose wants to attain other honors at the Olympic games in Swe den than iw'the weight man of the mis face. Mary Easy going, is he? Alice- Goodness, yes! Half an hour from hat rack to front door. Harper's. -Heavy Gamblers. It is said that George IV lost 800. 000 at cards before he saw his twenty first birthday, and one is not surprised when one reads the gambling chroni cles of the time in wbirh he lived. At Almack's. we are told, it was quite a common thing to stake 5,00 on a sin gle card at faro and for 100.000 to be won and lost in a night. Of the mad gambling at White's club many re markable stories are told such as how one player lost his entire fortune of 150.000 at. a sitting and when the last card fell against, him produced a pistol and before a hand could be raised to prevent him put a bullet into his brain. Londou Answers. A Man of Memory. Sir Thomas Lawrence, who afterward became president of the British Royal academy, wns not only one of the greatest of English portrait painters, but was in addition the possessor of a marvelous memory. His father was the landlord of the Bear inn, DVvizes. which was on the coach road to Bath, and by the time "little Tommy" was five years old" he would say to the la dies and gentlemen who stopped for their meals at his inn: "Here's my son. Will you have him recite from the po ets or take your portraits?" This was no idle boast, for he could do either with equal facility, and could roll off reams of Shakespeare. Milton and Pope with wonderful elocutionary effect Picture In Disguise, Many and strange have been the vi cissitudes of some of the world's great est pictures, and a fine painting which is owned in England has an interest ing history. This remarkable picture, which for some years consisted of a painting of flowers, was pronounced by an art dealer to be merely a mask for some other picture, and on his reviv ing permission he gradually cleaned off the flowers, discovering underneath a very fine portrait of Charles I. by Van Dyck. It is supposed that the por trait was thus disguised in order to save it from destruction by the Round beads at the time of the- commop wealth. London Standard. Tobacco In the Orient. The use of tobacco is universal in the orient. The word cheroot comes from Madras . . The buying movement of potatoes for the San Francisco market has sud denly ceased in the local territory. Bids of the.. San Francisco buyers have been quickly reduced from $2 per cental at country shipping points to $1.75 to $1.85. Some are not an xious to take hold of extra fancy ev en at the lower figure. According to the advice received bygone leading shipper from San Fran cisco fifty car loads of Oregon pota toes are now on the trade unsold there. While this incident was not mentioned in the messages "to other dealers, - all buyers quickly reduced their prices. There remains, however, a very good demand from the southwest and additional business is passing with Arizona. For this account shippers are bidding from $1.50 to $1.60 per cental in the Willamette valley r and from $1.25 to $1.35 at eastern Oregon points. - Only one or two firms are now in the buying field for potatoes so far as outside account is concerned. Oth ers have called in their buyers and are awaiting development before again entering.

He sad that the area contained 5,000 people, property which was assessed at $5,500,000 and that it at the pres ent did not receive one-hundreth of the county revenues when it was by right - entitled to at least one-ihird if not nearly a half. J. E. Gibson, of Boring, and H. S. Barclay, of Estacada, spoke at some length upon the proposition. It was the unanimous sentiment to go ahead with the plan of the campaign and upon motion of Mayor Reed it was decided to send a committee to the Logan, Springwater, Currinsville, Gar field, Viola and other nearby towns to make speeches and outline the ob jects of organizing" a new county. Representatives of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company were present at the meeting, in the persons of W. T, Buchanan, public ity agent; J. E. Werlein and R. M. Townsend. Mr. Buchanan said that the company did not take a position in the matter, that it could not mor ally and would not. He asserted that it was a matter purely for the citi zens to decide and it was a local is sue in which the company could not consistently take part. FOR SELLING TO BOYS J. A.
