the passage of the DingleY billP' IS a
question asked by some of the North Da-
kota wool-growers. Inasmuch as Mr.
Hansbrough's term soon expires, and he
is a candidate for reelection, the ques-
ton Is a pertinent one. Senator Hans.
brough was in line with his party, and
he did not oppose the emergency bill.
Furthermore, the senator is in full sym
pathy with the flockmasters' cause, and
he will give his hearty support to any
tariff measure framed for the protection
of the wool-growing- industry. Every
wool-grower in the North Dakota legis-
lature should support Senator Hans
Trough, and every sheep owner in the
slate should urge his assemblymen to
vote for the man pledged to protect the
fiockmaste,s' interests in the United
States senate.

they went back to get the rest of the an.
telope. They soon came upon them.
Only one of the hunters had rifle, and
he led the procession. The other two had
shotguns loaded with buckshot. Pretty
soon the hunter in advance again discov
cred the game. He got so excited at the
sight that he forgot that he had tho only
rifle in the party, and he shouted to his
companions to advance and sAoot. The
antelope heard him and lit out Where.

hunters in single file wended their way

resented by about $50 shooters of high class.
A special tent. with the word Dixie in
big letters on it, has been prepared as their
headquarters. Twenty tents have been
erected for the convenience Of the shoot
ers ard more are in readiness.
The team shoot will take place Wednes
day, which has also been selected as la
dies day. A special entertainment has
been arranged for their benefit. The
worlds championship race will be at
twenty-five birds each man. and is a handi-
cap, the handicap being in distance. This
race is creating even more excitement than
the team shoot. The handicapping is in
the hands of a mmit composed Of a
number of leading experts. No shooter will
know what his handicap is until after his
entry is made. Signor Guidicini. the cham
pion OF Europe, has written j. II. Robbins.
the editor of the Sportsmen's Review. that
he will be unable TO be present on account
of the holiday shooting fete now in progress

day. The championship race takes place
on Thursday. Tomorrow and Tuesday will
be devoted to sweepstakc shooting. II is
thought that the team race and the cham
pionship contest will occupy the remainder
OF the week.
