In the United States 1t is estimated
there are s1o.0oo,Oo0 shotguns. The
shotgun is recognized as the most

municipalities as'riot guns. Even to-

American buckshot, there would be a
great many Boches less in the world

The object OF the National Associa-

as many Of these shotgun owners as
possible into 2 National Home DE-
panies in each and every city and
town in the country. BY doing this
we provide a home guard for each To-
,cality, composed of their own citizens.
who have their own interests and
homes to protect. In short. we arc
furnishing q state Guard for each
state without expense to them. as our
members are already armed and will
furnish their own ammunition.

and county will have their own COM
pany. which will take care Of thet,
own locality. These local companies
which are being organized, will elect
their own omcers from their members
The officers will keep in touch witt
the local authorities. and, in case o.
trouble. will mobilize the members or

SULZER'S WORK.

Fairbanks Citizen)
 The scope of Delegate Suzers legislative program and his standing in Washington is well brought ou. in recent statement made by Representative Scot' Ferris chairman of the Public Lands committee, IF which he said:
 Delegate Suzer has all Alaska legislation wei in hand and is doing all that mortal can do. lie mas secured provisions in the oil-leasing Dill that VII open the oil wells of Alaska and bring about th' eyeopment of Alaskan oil fields.

SIGNIFICANCE OF SHIPPING HEARINGS

Many significant things brought out at the Shipping Board hearing yesterday, but none probably than the acknowledged need for better cooperation and understanding between the transportation companies and those who use them. MT. Kent, who is representing the Shipping Board at these hearings, said that in his long expe rience in connection with transportation matters representative of the government he had never met a" problem or disagreement that could not be solved by frank and free conference between the shipping men, shippers and government represen- tatives That is with lines of business tvities. If all those interested in problem get together with an honest purpose to reach agree that fair all concerned usually there will be found basis for settlement of differences. : N
 There is place in the world where the need for cooperation all transportation matters is greater than in Alaska. The very life of Alaska de- pends upon adequate transportation facilities living Practically everything that Alaska uses or produces must be brought to the Territory taken away. It is much different than it is in the States where community produces much of what it and where only the surplus must be shipped in ex- change for the things that not produced there. Alaska produces very little that is used here There fore she must import what she and export what she produces
 the other hand the transportation companies that operate in Alaskan waters have great investments in ships equipment and large organizations of skilled men who be paid for their services They operate their vessels in large in charted and the loss of vessels has been so great that insurance rates high. To have or ships hanging the rocks somewhere with salvage companies and insurance companies deal with has become almost normal condition with Alaskan steamship companies.
 It is conceded that the people in Alaska must be able to business at profit the hand tonnage for the ships will fail, and on the other hand people will keep ships in Alaskan waters permanently unless they be operated at profit that will yield fair return the investment
 It is clearly a case for transportation companies and shippers to work together in spirit of frank fairness.

The primary election showed up one fact very clearly and that is that Suzers full Territorial bl is the most popular piece of legislation that has been proposed for the Territory of Alaska.
 For twenty years Alaskans have been loud il their demands for self-goyernment, and the makeshi law passed during Wckersham's incumbency in of flee has given us just enough power owl affairs to make us long for more.

Another significant possibility cropped in the hearing, that is the apparent circumstance that it might be shown that conditions make it inn possible for transportation companies to make such a profit they entitled to make, when their large considered, at freight that will permit the people of Alaska to continue to pro- duce and to continue in business at profit.
