The Speed Of Ducks
Flying Through the Air
FAST FLYERS THROUGH THE AIR
PUZZLES FOR GUNNERs--
WONDERFUL FLYERS.

Among the interesting articles to
sportsmen in a new magazine, the
All Outdoors, is the following:
No amount Of mechanical ability
to handle gun will ever make a
crack field shot out Of the man VINO
cannot estimate distances accurately
or who would not know where to
hold If he did. In treating the sub
ject of, speed of mark, distance Of
target, and amount of lead, it must
be admitted that no theoretical
knowledge can take the place Of ex.
perience.
The following tables gives either
the estimated time or speed Of flight
Of some Of our common water fowl,

There may be much greater varia-
tions in the fights Of some Of these
birds than could be given in any ta-
Bile. An old mallard might plug la
zily along, looking for place to
alight, and not travel above thirty
feet second; on the other hand, he
has a tremendous sprint when fright.
ened. It might be said that, given
good scare, any Of these ducks can
reach maximum speed at will; and
this sprinting fight is usually what
the gunner has to make allowance
for.
Give bluewing teal forty mile
breeze behind him, have the little
.ascal dropping down with it, and he
comes on 50 fast as to be simply un-
hittable- some writer's have claimed
a speed for him of $50 miles an hour,
or 220 feet a second. The canvas
back, redhead and bluebill have a
way Of driving before a gale, too,
that will be found fast enough in all
conscience. Much of the fascination
Of wing shooting comes from the fact
that shots will always be afforded
quite beyond the skill of mortal man.

Young Would Give
Tariff fair Trial
DECLARES OLNY FUTURE CAN
Determine GOOD OR BAD
FEATURES

Congressman and Mrs. Geo. NJ
Young and daughter returned from
Washington last night to spend few
weeks. AS it is eight months since
they left here for the national capitol
they expressed great pleasure to be
back again.
About the new tariff law Mr.. Young
said: "Give it fair trial. A year Of
experience will demonstrate more
than ten years Of talk"
Mr.. Young also expressed himself
upon the Banking and Currency bill,
saying:
Il was glad to vote for the currency
bill in the House. although l think
there should have been some amend
ments made to It, and believe the bill
will be changed and improved by the
senate. l believe in free banking;
that membership in the proposed
United States Regional Reserve banks
should be optional, and that all hon.
estly managed banks, including the
small state banks, should be permit
ted to become members" ....
II have not been requested by the
Sergeant alarms to return to Wash
ington and do not expect to receive
any such request. There is nothing
to do In the House until the Currency
Bill is sent back from the Senate"

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 17.-Fighti
for removal of the county seats will be
staged in Golden Valley and Billings
counties. Golden Valley county is the
youngest county in the state having
only been created a year ago, when
Governor Burke designated Beach as
the temporary county seat.
Citizens of Sentinel Butte, which is
more centrally located, will make an
effort to secure the permanent county
seat.
Billings county, out Of which Golden
Valley was created, will have its trou'
bIes in maintaining the county seat
at Medora at the next election. Me-
dora Is in the center OF the bad lands
and is hard town to reach by team
or automobile. Fryburg, new town,
is more centrally located and will
make strong bid for the county seat.

Consumption Takes
$50 People Every Day

in the United States and the sur
prising truth is that most cases are
preventable with timely, intelligent
treatment.
These appalling facts should warn
us that after sickness, colds, over
work or any other drains upon
strength, SCOTS Emulsion should
be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only
in weakened system.
The tested and proven value of
Scott's Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assimilates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
life-sustaining blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
Scots Emulsion is used in tuber-
cu1osis camps because of its rare
body building, blood-making prop
critics and because it contains no
alcohol or habit-forming drug.
Be sure to insist on SCOTS.

North Ddk0tanS Are
Leaving Mexico

Fargo, Oct. 17.-Joseph Blatchford
Of Tenth street south received letter
yesterday from his son, Max Batch
ford, who, with a party Of North Da-
kotans, who have been living in Mex.
leo for some time, left Mazatlan, Oct.

Mr.. Blatchford were three ladies Miss
Bisbee and the Misses White of Grand
Forks. Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Fifer Of
Reeder and Carl Lykken of Grand
Forks were also in the party.
The Young ladies, two of whom
were former members of the. faculty
Of the University Of North Dakota,
have been running their own ranches
in Mexico through all the trouble.
Mr.. Blatchford writes that there Is
no danger where they are, but because
Of the unsettled condition Of the coun-
try it was impossible to make any
Roadway with the development work
on their property so the party decided
to come to the states.
They are coming on the United
States gunboat Buford, which was
sent by the government to bring back
any Americans who desired to come.
The party will probably 90 to Los
Angeles and spend the winter. It is
not expected that they will return to
North Dakota at the present time.
