TEACH THE BOYS
HOW TO SHOOT

Seattle is probably the first city in
the country to take up President
Roosevelt's suggestion toe teach tn
young men and school boys of the
country how to shoot so that they
will be prepared in case of war, says
the Seattle Times. Two days after
the president had made the sugges-
ton in his annual message to con-
gress, Captain Frank H. Lord, cura-
tor of grounds and buildings at the
University of Washington, began the
organization of a rifle club at the in
stitution.
The enrolment has already reach
err 1872 members. Among those who
have joined are Merle Thorpe, in
structor in journalism, and Henry L.
Bowlby, instructor in civil engineer
ing. Bowlby is a former student at
West Point Lieutenant E. G. Han
ford, has agreed to take charge of
the organization, which is to be
formed into a battalion. Hanford is
graduate of West Point and is now
a resident of Seattle.
Captain Lord has sent an applica-
ton to the secretary of war for guns
and ammunition with which to equip
the men. No further progress in this
organization can be made until re-
ply is received. In view of the pres
ident's attitude in the matter, it is
believed the request will be granted.
Col. T. C. Woodbury.. commander at
Fort Lawton, has offered to detail a
couple of the officers of the Third in
fantry to give the men instruction in
the use of the army rifles. 1t is also
thought the war department will give
the university students permission to
practice on the new target range at
Fort Lawton, which, when completed,
will be one of the finest on the coast.
It is thought the work will be finished
by next March, and in the meantime
the students may make use of the
phesent 30O-yard range on the beach
below the post.
President Roosevelt made his plea
for training the youth of the country
in the use of firearms because of the
fact that American boys, owing to the
growth of the cities, do not get the
experience in shooting that they for
merly did, and require training in
that direction. He mentioned this
fact after stating that the regular
army is so small that the country
must depend upon its volunteer

TWO sWEDEs HELD UP.

-
Columbia Siding is becoming a wild
and woolly town since the Great
Northern commenced its c0nstruc-
ton work up the Coulee. Last night
just before the westbound train went
through a couple of hold-up men
knocked down Charles Walling, a
Swede laborer, and went through his
pockets for SIS. Walling yelled and
attracted the attention of Deputy
Sheriff Fox, who was just ready to
take the train for this city with Jean
Courtway. Fox made rush for the
men, but they got away. While he
was engaged with Walling, other ban
dts knocked in the door of lodging
house and held up Gus Johnson, an
other Swede, for $25. These Swedes
were both laborers and had been en-
gagged on the new railroad. Deputy
Fox deputized two men to try and
capture the hold-ups, but last night
they had not been captured.
