Wonderful Shooting Of Captain Bo-
eardus and Or. Carver.

er the war will tell you sadly that
there are no such shots as there used
TO be. In this connection II is inter.
esting to note that $1,000 was wagered
against 500 that the champion Of the
world could not hit hundred cousec-
utive birds. Many amateurs. not to
speak OF professionals. frequently
make such score without arousing
comment in these days. Captain Bo-
gardus was to be allowed three trials.
If he lost the first two and made the
third the money was bis. and. by the
way. he used twelve gauge, full
choke. ten pound gun. and his load
was FIVE drains Of black powder with
No. shot. He loaded his own shells
or had them loaded according TO his
directions.
While shooting In England his load
was challenged by one Of bis defeated
rivals. who asserted that the cham
pion's phenomenal scores were the re-
suit of his superior shells. The cap
tain suggested that in their next match
both contestants should use his uni-
munilon. to which the EngliShman
eagerly consented. The captain was
delighted. for well he knew what woulc
happen to the action Of the light and
delicate English gun under such a
charge. Before the match had pro-
ceeded very far the Britisher with
drew-for massage.
With the invention and success Of
the ball tossing machine a craze for
ridiculously high scores swept the
country Five thousand balls In 500
minutes, 5,194 out Of $500. In seven
hours and twenty minutes-these were
some Of the stunts that delighted the
hearts Of the gun people OF that day.

Best Fair in Its History.

All indications point to the best
and most successful fair ever held in
this city or Western Washington, the
first week in October at Puyallup.
the officers of the association are
preparing for several new features
and more facilities, which will add
to the attractiveness of the exhibits
and to the entertainment and comfort
of visitors.
The directors have authorized the
construction of two new buildings,
an executive building and rest
room for women and children. These
will be adjoining the fruit and vege-
table building. The rest room will
be 18x24, provided with lavatory and
modern conveniences. Thisswith the
rest rooms near the Art department,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-09-15

will afford ample accommodations for
women and children.
A new and important feature will
be the installation of model chicken
farm, under the direction of the Tx
pertinent station, where everything
connected with the poultry industry
may be studied from practical dem
onstrations. Besides the incubators,
breeders and other machinery dem
onstrations will be given each day in
caponizing and preparing poultry for
market.
The bee department will be enlarg-
ed, and superintendent Ware will
give demonstrations daily, showing
that he can do anything with bees
that can be done by the much ad-
vertised "Bee Wizard"
A novel attraction which will add
zest to the races will be the coming
of large number of Indians of the
Yakima tribe, with their ponies, to
participate in the races. This will
make holly contested sporting events
as tribal pride will add to the efforts
of the owners and riders.
Indications are that all the conces-
sions will be let, that the entries ex-
hibits will be larger than ever before.
and that the fair, in every depart
ment and as whole, will prove larger
and more attractive and beneficial
than those held in the preceding
years

the vast amount of attention that is
being given now days to municipal

Dear Sir:-I should prefer seeding
the Oregon vetch even at the same
price per hundred as the hairy vetch.
The hairy vetch is very persistent
and may take you years to eradicate
it. II you are wishing to seed ground
for permanent pasture the hairy
vetch would be desirable.
In preparing the field you mention
| should prefer to disk the surface at
the present time and then pillow when
you have had rains enough to put the
soil in good shape for blowing. This
will enable you to secure good seed
bed, which you would not be apt to
do if you plowed while it is too dry to
pillow we'll. l would not advise the
use of a roller after the crop is in.

This crop would probably come into

CHICAGO MAN FIXES
THE HORRID HATPIN

Malls Buck, is the best weapon with
which to combat a dangerous hat
pin, says Chicago dispatch. He
gave a practical demonstration of
it's use on Northwestern elevated
train. A long and sharp steel hat
pin in a woman's hat scratched him
on the chin. The owner refused
to remove the pin.
II was on the Northwestern ele-
vated," he said, ''going to my home,

ALASKA MINING TOWN
IN GRIP OF FLAMES

JUNEAU, Alaska, March 10
The town of Douglas, on Douglas
island, across Gastineau channel
from Juneau, is burning. The fire,
which started in a barber shop, has
already swept the greater portion
of Front street, and driven by
high wind, is spreading rapidly. The
cold is intense and the 500 men
from the Treadwell gold mines, who
are fighting the flames, are greatly
hampered in their work. 1t is al
most certain that the entire town
will be destroyed.
The telephone girl in the Douglas
exchange telephoned Juneau that
the office is burning and she would
leave the building at once. Douglas
is the seat of the famous Tread
well mines, which employ 1000 men,
and Superintendent Kenzie has or
dered all of the men out of the
mines to join in fighting the fire.
The high wind has whipped the
channel into a fury and the large
boats are unable to go from here
to take assistance to the burning
town. The ferry has been loaded
with. fire-flghting apparatus and men
from Juneau and is attempting to
cross the channel to Douglas.

BULLDOG SAVES MASTER
FROM INCINERATION

New York, March ia man

serious, if not fatal, injuries early
yesterday morning through the
faithfulness of his pet bulldog. The
man was awakened by the whining
and barking of the animal, but paid
no attention and went to sleep
again, The dog then dragged the
bedclothes from his master and
when Courtney awoke the second
time, he discovered the house on
fire. He escaped in his night cloth
ing, taking the dog with him. The
building was destroyed.
