(By "Trapshooter")

What is the Sport Alluring?"
 Trapshooting, of course. And it is the most characteristically American sport, for it satisfies the inherent American desire to use firearms.
 Golf may boast of it's Scotch orig in, polo trace its line from England to India, and cricket pride itself on British birth, but shooting at "clay targets" is American born.
 Let us pass by the alien sports we have adopted with pleasure and bene- it and compare trapshooting with hat distinctive American game ,aseball
 The baseball fan goes to the ball rounds, sits in the stand and watch IS his favorite team reach a heart breaking crisis in the game, but as much as he may wish to share the ,lory and the thrill of the contest, lis part is limited to cheering his side on to victory, or sitting help. less while it goes down to defeat. lis sole participation in the sport neutral
 But not so with the trapshooter; le is the player" and it is his to now all the zest of competition. To follow his hobby does not require neglect of affairs of life, for trap 'hooting may be indulged in as lit. ,le or as much as circumstances tllOw.

ITALIAN CITY OF GORIZA

An Associated Press correspondent, in describing recent visit to Goriza, in Northern Italy, which been the storm center of the contending armies said
 Turning the of shattered wall, we saw the Isonzo river lying ahead and the further side Gorza rising in with the huge battlements the citadel towering the right. The river looked about the width of the Potomac at Washington but with swifter from the feeders Along the edge of the river of sheltorn walls with gaping windows. This whole waterfront had been torn to pieces, and yet many the demolished rem nants of the buildings occupied, and work along the river wharves proceeding.
 To the left, approached river stood out the paatia castle of Count Coronini of Vienna, the close personal friend Emperor Francis Joseph to his death, and the master of ceremonies of the imperial household In this castle had died King Charles K. and his body will repose in nearby convent of St Caterina. One of the lions of St. Mark, which had capped the entrance the castle, taken down by the Austrians before they quit Goriza and is in the city museum It an impressive sight to the fine old castle through vista of trees, with its parks and avenues and the Italian flag flying above it.
 The Isonzo river crossed by the wooden bridge which Italian engineers built after all the old bridges had been blown up On side lay the wreck of big pontoon. It pontoon bridges that the Italians entered the city, and this wreck of the that crossing The big railroad bridge was lying wreck from artillery fire , Further the massive bridge with one cf it's main arches blown pieces. Near these bridges lie number of important paper mills, where paper is made for government notes All these mills masses of ruins with few tall chmneys still standing among the debris.

Some people satisfied until they own piece of real estate. They want of Gods earth that they really call their own, which drive them long they pay their debts.
 It is very healthful and wholesome instinct, yet in the hands of undeveloped people it makes trouble. The Mexican revolution largely due to this land hunger of the peon. The Russian peasant is upset his chances to get land that he cant fight for his country.
 After the great numbers of aliens will come here with the hope of securing a bit of soil. Among people there is too little land hunger. Artisan populations dislike to tie themselves down to any spot. They want to be free to pick up and go the moment better job calls them. This works against the enrichment of the soil in the farm country and against the improvement and beautifi- cation of town life
 The alien that comes in here will take some heavy burdens to get the title to land He will pay down small percentage of real money and sign up for a heavy mortgage. He works early and late with the help of his wife and children, and spends next to nothing for sports and clothes He gets there back by higher standards of living and tious spirit
 Any scheme to induce people to take up the ownership of land looks good.

FOOLED WITH ARC LIGHT
Unknown Persons Lowered Street
Light and Got Wires Crossed.

Because someone who had no busi-
ness Of his own. let down an arc light
near Fourth and Denver about
O'Clock yesterday morning there was
general fire alarm turned in on
account Of the wires sparkling in tree
tops on three streets IN the southwest
section OF Tulsa.
ON South Jackson south OF the OK
lahoma hospital, a line was down
having little Fourth OF July cele-
bration all alone. Along Elwood and
Denver between Sixth and Seventh
the wires were in the tree tops. There
was pyrotechnic display wherever
a wire touched twig or leaf.
In letting down the arc light, II
is explained a wire was broken
creating a shOrt-cirCuit on half q
dozen other lines Thas accounts for
the disturbance in places other than
that OF the break. There are 4,40C
volts Of electric current carried in
the lines, which belong to the Pub.
lie Service company, and it Is thought
wonderful that more did not happen
as n result OF the short circuitinp
than simply a general fire alarm be-
ing turned in.
