MORGAN WINS
 IN TWO SHOOTS

Twice yesterday afternoon on Birch hill range R. D. Morgan car. ried off the honors, winning first l place in the Suter and the Mend ham Trophy shoots. And in the first match, that for the Suter cup, since he won it last year it becomes his permanent property. The Mend ham trophy was won last year by Sam Feddersen, so it must be com peted for another year. The riflemen first competed for the Suter cup with five shots for record, on the 200, 300 and 5OO-yard ranges. and as a whole the shooting was very poor. At the end of the first two ranges Drury and Jes- son were high men, with a score of 42 Both fell down in the last range and were tied for third place with Fedderson with a final score of 5S.
 Dr. Hall came to his last range with score of fl. while Morgan and Cathcart each had 40. In the final show down Morgan won with a total score of 60 out of a possi- ble 75, taking the cup and first money, while second money went to Dr. Hall, with his score of 59.
 The Mendham trophy was compet- ed for over the 300, 800 and 600 yard rages, five shots being fired for rec ord at each distance. The shoot in this match was also poor. When the marksmen came back to 600 yards the high men were Fedderson 40. Wood 41. Jackson A, and Nor gan A. Morgan, however, continued to improve putting on "A out of 25 in the last range and winning the cup for the year, with a score of 68. Jackson 66, Fedderson 5S, and Wood 57.
 Next Sunday the club will compete for the Sale cup which is to be shot for on the 200, 300 and 800 yard ranges with ten shots each for score. Fedderson is the present holder of the cup. In addition there will be other prizes divided between the sharpshooter, Marksmen and Tyros classes.
 In the marksmen's class yesterday Morrow was first and Cathcart sec ond during the shoot for the Suter trophy

MARTIN NARRAIS.

In urging the candidacy of Mar tin Harrais for the delegateship the Citizen is discharging what it con siders its plain duty. It is support ing the one man among the five candidates il believes best qualified to represent the territory at Wash ingtOn.
 The question of the regularity of the candidacy of the two Democrats in the field has been fully threshed out, and this paper, having carefully weighed the evidence at hand un- Qualifiedly takes the stand that Mir
 iarrais is the rightful standard bearer of the party in the territory Becoming satisfied Of the close bi- partisan relationship existing between clique of Seattle-Juneau politicians. which has for its object the perpetu- ation of existing conditions in Alas ka, the Citizen would have declined to support Jennings even had he been the undisputed nominee of the party and it is therefore the more gratified that MT. Harrais has been able so conclusively to demonstrate the regularity of his candidacy.
 Taking the other candidates in order we come to the present dele gate, and in his case our stand is directly opposed to what it has been for the past four years. Six months ago we reposed a certain amount of confidence in MT. Wickersham and his ability to achieve things for Alaska. While even yet admitting his ability We have had reason to doubt his honesty of purpose. We have heard him from the public platform appeal to his audience to tell him what they wanted so he could go to Washington to ask for 1t for them. This he has always done in his best ultra-patriotic de- clamatory style and he has seldom failed to make a hit with his audi ence. We have also heard him promise on his honor to further at Washington the campaign for the obtaining of good roads appropria- tion. something asked for not only by Fairbanks but by every town in Alaska. We have heard him assure committee, of which nearly every member was a former supporter of his, that he would faithfully dis charge their wishes in regard to the automobile road proposition and we KNOW that he did that which he promised not to do and left undone that which he promised to do, and that he did not get the appropriation for the road for the full and suffi- cient reason that he never asked for it. This breach of trust on the part of servant of the people, we consider, is ample warrant for his dismissal.
 The other Republican candidate, MT. Gilmore of Nome, comes we'll recommended from his home district, but his politics render him ineligi ble for the franchises of Alaskans For, taking into consideration the neglect and unwarranted interfer- ence the territory has suffered at the hands of the Republican party during the past twelve years, it is hard to figure out how any Alaskans can be expected to wish to risk continuance of the infamy. A vote for the Republican party is an in- dorsement of the mal-administration of Alaskan affairs in the past.
 In MT. Kazis Krauczunas, the So- cialists have an able exponent of their political faith and he doubt less will receive the vote of all who, disregarding the interests of the ter

ka have been of the disorganiZed kind. because of the reason that Re publican politics were run solely by Shaekleford and Democratic politics run solely by Daily. They have been considered machine bosses. out with the desire to forever cinch the political patronage and control of Alaska for themselves. This has suited neither the independent Re puhlicans or Democrats. and there has always been a fight whenever either party attempted to get to- gether in convention. Shackleford is now out of the Republican party in Alaska, the National convention having failed to reappoint him and having named another man in his ties in Alaska. the Democracy would stand a show of winning something
 but as he is running the Democratic politics there is no show for either Democratic candidate. They will split the Democratic vote to the detriment of Alaska Democracy. This. however. cuts no ice with Daly. for if the Democratic candidates are defeated, as they will be. and the i Democracy is successful in the Ma tional election, Daily will be the rec | ognized boss of Alaska until the l Democracy is able to cleanse the | party of bossism. as the Republican party has at last been able to eliminate the Republican boss
 Local Democrats clearly under stand that, with the two-sided fight now on in their party, Alaska Demo erats can hope for no success this year. Therefore. there is only two 1 things for them to do-stand in 1 principle and keep the wheels of pro- gress running. to the end that they may in time purify their party, or l stay with the machine and reap the political rewards which will come if the Democracy is successful i in the nation. It is fight for i principle or spells. Therefore. We 1 believe that the business men and old-timers of this district who com pose the Democratic club acted
 rightly when they espoused the cause of Martin Harrais and repudi, acted like real Alaskans.
 In his speech last evening. MT
 Jennings scored heavily on John
 Moe. Attorney Roth and other local Democrats. whom he accused of be ing supporters of Martin Harrais because they wanted local offices That was pure demagoguery-even
 though Martin Harrais were elected
 and the Democracy successful in
 the National campaign, the patron
 age would still rest In Daly's hands
 and nobody knows this better than does MT. Jennings. Although James | Wickersham has been elected sev
 eral times and although he claims
 to be the head of the Republican
 party in Alaska, Shackleford has al
 ways dictated all the appointments
 in Alaska, just as Daly would do il
 it was Democratic administration
 no matter if Harrais were elected

FTNCLE SAM has in his army some
~ thousands of little brown men OF
the mid-Pacific, who approximate all
grades of civilization and a lack of 1t
and who are well typified by the ac-
companying illustration, which shows
the Philippine soldier in the course OF
being transformed. A year before this
picture was taken these men were
wild in the woods, with nothing but a
breechclout in the way of clothing.
They have advanced to stage where
they take great pride in their caps
and coats, but still refuse to adopt the
trousers and shoes. A year later,
however, they will be found as fully
equipped as is their captain, shown in
the foreground.
The Philippine constabulary, Of
which these men are a part, is now a
little more than 5000 strong, includ-
ing officers and men. To be exact

there were 4,130 men and 296 officers
at last report. This constabulary had
its origin in the Filipino scouts that
were organized during the war of &C.
cupation. The scouts readily adopted
the methods of the Americans and
showed themselves easily amenable TO
discipline. With them as basis, the
force has been gradually increased I'M
til members of the constabnlary are
to be found in nearly all parts OF the
island. and have come to be as much
depended upon to keep order as are
the. American troops.
The Filipino boys are taken when
they know nothing of the English Ian
guage and little of civilized life. They
are provided with shelter and food
and get small wages. There is a
scramble to get into the service. BY
nature these Malay Monaghan races
are great imitators. When they see a
thing done once they can come near
it.
The Filipino is being found to be
an excellent fighter. There have been
instances when led by an American
officer these troops have charged for
titled positions with resulting death
percentage as high as 40 and have re
fused to give up the charge.

REARING OF TURKEYS
Producers Have Not Been Able
to Satisfy Demand.
Result of Experiments Obtained at
Washington Station by Artificial
Methods of Value to Those
Interested.

Notwithstanding the popularity of
the turkey for human consumption
and its consequent high price. the
turkey producers have not been able
to supply the demands of the market,
due to the fact that turkeys are more
subject to diseases than chickens and
because the care of the young poults
requires much patience on the part of
the poultryman Nevertheless, turkey
raising returns a good profit to the
producer when properly handled In
Farmers Bulletin 200 the problems
connected with raising turkeys have
been outlined and treated more or less
in detail
The results obtained in the follow
ing experiment, conducted by the
Washington station, on Matching and
rearing turkeys by artificial methods,
should prove of value to those who
desire information on the care Of
young poults
About the 1st of June we secured
1902 turkey eggs of the Mammoth
Bronze variety, which nicely filed the
tray of our 150-hen-egg incubator. The
machine had previously been warmed
in the usual way. and at the time the
eggs were placed in the tray the Their

moisture pan, which was the same
size AS the tray and located beneath

piled with sand one-half inch in
depth, which was thoroughly satur-
ated with warm water This sand

very carefully done by first removing
from the center of the tray about one
dozen eggs. and then carefully rolling,
with the hand, the remaining eggs
toward the center of the tray, Just
enough to change the position of each
egg. The eggs that had been removed
were then placed in either end OF the
tray.
During the first week a tempera-
ture OF 102 degrees was maintained,

ION the tenth day the eggs were
tested for fertility, four clear eggs be-
ing found, which, with the three that
were cracked in transit, left for the
machine just 95 eggs. OF these, four
more were taken out, at the second
