Shooting matches for turkeys are getting
to be an important item in the valley OF
late. Two in Falls City, one at North
Bend and one in Snoqualmie have been of
recent date. The match in SnoquaImie
Saturday afternoon was by far the most
Important. The surrounding towns were
we'll represented and q stranger might
easily have imagined that an Indian out
break had been anticipated. Drawings OF
two life-size turkeys. one heron and one
hawk were used ~ targets--a four-inch
bullseys being placed over tho supposed
heart OF each bird. These targets were
sixty-five yards distant from the shooters.
Something like 500 shots were fired at the
birds, nearly all of which would have
proved certain death had they been real
game instead of charcoal drawings. John
and A. l.. Rutherford. of Falls City, and
Johnnie Franks. OF Snoqualmie. were the
best marksmen Ola the ground. These gen.
tlemen made bullseyes most Of the time.
