BUY SHELLS NOW"
PRICE OF AMMUNITION WAY UP
AND GOING HIGHER,
DEALERS WARN.

1t will be the good shots among
the nimrods who can best afford 2
brush with wild ducks and geese after
the opening of the hunting season,
September 10.
The principal reason why expert
cracksmen will go through the hunt
ing aso o. economically than
will the man who misses about as
often as he records a hit Is that
every wasted cartridge will mean a
greater loss not only in birds missed
but in actual money than it has be-
fore in the last twenty years.
Although ammunition for small
arms was higher than usual a year
ago. the price of powder and shot has
continued to advance, until shotgun
loads cost nearly double what they
did a few years ago. The elevated
price is due to the fact that most
manufacturers of ammunition may
run their full forces full time in the
manufacture of shot and shells fol
warning European countries.
In small lots shotgun shells, load.
ed with smokeless powder and chilled
shot, may be purchased at retail at
rate OF about $40 a hundred, while
500 lots sell at $3.50.
Dealers said today that there /:
bound to be an early rise In the price
of ammunition. Although the whole
sale price has recently materially
advanced. some local dealers, whs
purchased before the last rise. have
not yet increased the price to theil
customers. 1t is said, however, tina
at the opening of the game season
or shortly afterward. the retail pric,
Is bound to 60 up.
There Is also an increase In thu
price OF shotguns over Z year ago.

MADISON TOURIST CITY
WASHINGTON MAN DECLARES
CITY SHOULD GET MORE
THROUGH TRAVELLERS.

Madison's possibilities as a haven
for tourists are reflected by the large
number of long distance travellers
who have sojourned here since the
arrival of real summer weather.
Hotel and restaurant proprietors and
officers of the C~hautauqua associa-
ton. in charge of the Lake Madison
summer resort, unite in saying that
never before in the history of the
city have so many persons come by
automobile from distant points as
have visited Madison during the last
three months. In IN almost cease
less stream have come vacationists
from coast to coast, from the Cana
dian and Mexican borders and from
many intervening states. With pro
per encouragement, numberless local
business men believe, the volume OF
summer visitors here could be aug
mented to proportions which would
make the entertaining of tourists an
institution the extent of whose ad-
vertising possibilities would be hard
TO gauge.
f. II. Sturgeon, OF Spokane, today
headed the second automobile party
from the state of Washington to pass
through Madison in two days. Mr..
Sturgeon, who is in the drug bust
ness i'm Spokane, was accompanied
by Mrs. Sturgeon and their little
daughter. They spent a couple of
hours in the city.
AT the Lake Park hotel, where his
family breakfasted, Mr.. Sturgeon
gave as his opinion that Madison, as
a tourists retreat, is especially ia
vored. Two reasons set forth were
the city's geographical location and
the fact that it is on the Meridian
road.
Il think you will find that an ever
increasing number of auto tourists
from the northern Pacific coast coun-
try who come east over the Yellow
stone trail, will, if their destination
is some point in the central or At
lantic states, find it convenient to
turn south when they have reached
the Meridian road or at some point
between Aberdeen and the junction
of the Yellowstone trail and the Me
ridian road, " said Mr.. Sturgeon. II
believe that it is the more thickly
settled country such as is to be seen
around here and southeast of here,
rather than the fields and pastures
Of the northwestern part of the state.
that the tourist who has made the
long journey through the mountain
f~astness. is impatient TO get a
glimpse of"
Mr.. Sturgeon said he believed that
development of rural highways, espe-
cially improvements to the Meridian
road, would turn in this direction an
immense amount of travel which now
goes elswhere.
"All things considered. | do not
see why Madison could not. If the
city and surrounding country go aft
er it, bring just about as much travel
from distant points as the large
places OF the recognized coast-to-
coast highways" he concluded.

CONFERENCE OF PRESIDENT
WILSON AND RAILROAD
HEADS FRUITLESS.

Washington, Aug. 10, 4 p. NJ
Special: A fruitless conference was
held today by President Wilson and
railroad presidents in an effort to
avert a nationwide strike. The pres

western roads to come to Washing
ton without delay. A statement was
issued by President Wilson u~pholding
his contention for an e%ight-hour day
and intimating that the interstate
commerce commission may, if this is
granted, consider the right of rail
roads to increase freight rates.
