FOREST AND STREAM. 



88S 



Fifteenth Iowa Annual. 



Des Moines, Iowa, May 24.— Mudbens were playing tag on the 

 grounds ot the Highland Gun Club, of Des Moines, this morning. 

 A large, corpulent muskrat sat on the cashier's desk and a spot- 

 ted watersnake executed a serpentine dance upstairs, where you 

 usually go to get lunch. A daring expedition plauned by the 

 president went, into the club house in a boat and rescued a few of 

 the archives. There was a good deal of green mud on the archives 

 and the L. C. Smith cup bad four frogs in it, but Mr. Perkins had 

 the cup and the archives cleaned up, and allowed that the fifteenth 

 annual meeting of the Iowa State Association could go on all 

 right, inasmuch as the tall men would not need boats and the 

 short men could have boats if they wanted them, and the trap- 

 pers could sit on a raft. Mr. Converse, his associate in crime, 

 spread out his toes, gazed with pride at the nice pink web which 

 now adorns those appendages on all Des Moines shooters and in 

 quired, "What's the matter with swimming?" 



There were many visitors from other points in Iowa, however, 

 and also a few from outside the sea-board State, who objected to 

 swimming or shooting from a boat. To humor these, the Des 

 Moines boys abandoned the idea of a marine drill on the bottoms 

 of the turbulent Des Moines River and sought out new grounds. 

 They found a lovely spot, high and dry, at Valley .Tunction. five 

 miles west of town on the Rock Island road, nearby where a 

 pretty little creek debouches into the evil-minded Raccoon 

 River. Here was a wide amphitheater, nearly ringed by. woods 

 and green sloping hills, and all the scene was fresh and beauti- 

 ful. As carpet nature had spread down a cloth of preen and 

 gold, for in Iowa dandelions are just now in bloom. Upon this 

 carpet the association management spread their white and snowy 

 tents, and thus, under circumstances whose charm is rarely 

 equalled at a shooting tournament, there began to day one of the 

 pleasantest and most important events of the whole shooting 

 circuit. 



The weather to-day was cloudy by fits, with a brisk breeze, and 

 occasional drops of rain, but the day was good for shooting. The 

 attendance, in spite of the ravages of the Iowa floods, was goed. 

 Only targets were shot to-day. 



One feature was noticeable, and that the care taken for the 

 shooters' comfort. We have a big shoot in Illinois each June, 

 but it is no Buch pleasant affair as this one, even under its im- 

 promptu arrangements, because at it the shooters are not so well 

 taken care of. To-day, m the big dining tent, at a nice series of 

 clean little tables, there was served a luncheon which puts to 

 absolute shame the stand-up-and-gobble affairs of Kansas City, 

 Chicago, and a, lot of other places which ought to do better. Let 

 us be seemly in our shooting these days, for the shooter of to-day 

 is an advancing man. Credit to Des Moines, because she re- 

 membered that, and treated the shooters like gentlemen. This 

 lunch tent was a goot deed in a naughty world. 



Possibly there may be a few depraved mortals who would like 

 to look at scores. They will find most of these in condensed form. 

 No paper on earth to-day can keep up with all the shooting if it 

 prints target scores in full. To run such scores in full for one 

 meeting is to be unjust to some other meeting equally important. 

 In a rapid-fire target shoot, under the present mechanical bang- 

 bang, divide-the-ties, hurry-up-and-start-the-next-shoot system, 

 it makes no difference to the great North American reader 

 whether a given shooter missed his first or his seventh bird in a 

 certain 10 birds sweep. The great North American reader may 

 think it does, but it doesn't. Customs change. Necessities make 

 customs. Forest and Stream has been the first journal to see 

 ihe necessities in this case, and has set the pace as usual. The 

 other journals are following, as usual. Very soon the great North 

 American reader will find only the target totals in an v paper which 

 prints the shooting news. He will be glad of it, too. He will see 

 more shoots and gut more fresh news. In one year there h»s been 

 a vast skating up in the methods of sporting journalism. Forest 

 and Stream has done most of the thinking over these matters. 

 All the others will swing into line— in fact, are doing so now. 

 Q/iite a long line. Forest and Stream in front. May the. devil 

 take the hindmost.

 Mr. E. D. Trotter of Kingsley, won the cup. Mr. Trotter is a 

 member of Le Mars Gun Club, and comes from the English 

 colony of that place. He shot a hammer Greener, old and weary 

 which had been restocked, apparently with a piece of pine 

 painted red. It was a horrible looking gun. He used wood pow- 

 der and 7s, loaded by Perkins & Perkins of Des Moines. Mr 

 Trotter is 29 years old, blonde, and on the whole better looking 

 than bis gun. 



The L. C. Smith cup was won last year by Charlie Budd. He 

 kept tobacco in it. 1 don't think he ought to do that.

THE CONVENTION. 



The annual convention, held at the Kirkwood parlors this 

 evening, was an animated and encouraging meeting. The senti- 

 ment, for actual protection was clearly manifest. It is wrong to 

 call the Iowa Association merely a trap-shooting body, for its 

 members are actually doing all they can under their laws to bet- 

 ter the snpply of game and fish. Since the election of the presi- 

 dent of the association, Mr. J. G. Smith, of Algona, to the State 

 Legislature, there has arisen a great interest among his shooting 

 friends in protective work. Mr. Smith is doing all he can in the 

 Legislature, and he has the cordial support of all these Iowa 

 shooters. 



The following representation was on hand: Messrs. G. E. Con- 

 verse, G. E. Hughes, A. C. Miller, Chas. Grimm, Geo. K.Martin, 

 .1. Kers^er, W. Burnett, F. C. Gruttenden, O. O. Perkins. J. A. 

 Yearnshaw, A. J. Zsvart, C. W. Budd, Nelson Roval. S. P. Selbv. 

 G. P. Christiansen and W. L. Read, all of Highland Gun Club, of 

 Des Moines: Mr, Lindley, of Panora Gun Club; Messrs. Mose 

 Chandler and W.M. Evans, of Red Oak Gun Club; Messrs. E. D. 

 Trotter, H. J. Trotter, C. A. Tyler, of Le Mars Gun Club; Mr. W. 

 F. Smith, of Webster City Gun Club: Messrs. J. G. Smith, S. L. 

 Sessions and G. S. West, of Algona Gun Club; Messrs. E. E. Hage- 

 man and Chas. A. Jekel, of Independence Gun Club; Mr. John 

 Oeorgson, of Kelley Gun Club; Messrs. J. F.Kioy and Lew Maser, 

 of Forester Gun Club, Davenport; Messrs. W. L. Butler and C. H. 

 Wells, of Boone Gun Club; Messrs. H. H. Arff and E, G. Abbott, 

 ot Charter Oak Gun Club; Mr. Wm. Bntler. of Clarinda Gun 

 Club; Mr. D. K. Douthett, of Osceola Gun Club; Messrs. N. S. 

 Young and Al Rungp, of the Big Four Quu Club, Burlington; Mr, 

 J. M. Thornton, of Knoxville Gun Club; Messrs. A. Walker, M. 

 Walker and F. W. Porterfield, of Atlantic Gun Club. 



THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 



Mr. Smith, president of the Association, addressed the meeting 

 in the following remarks: 



"Gentlemen of the Association— Fifteen years ago a small 

 number of sportsmen from different parts of Iowa met in the city 

 of Des Moines to organize a Stare association for the protection 

 of game and fish. It was a well-known fact that if something was 

 not done our woods and prairies would soon be without game and 

 our lakes and streams be without fish. At that time there were 

 not over five or six shooting or fishing clubs in the State, and a 

 man who was a member of a shooting or fishing club was looked 

 upon as one who was trying to interfere with the rights of his 

 fellow men. Most people acted as though they thought the game 

 and fish would last forever. The few sportsmen that met here 

 fifteen years ago soon came to the conclusion that we must have 

 better game laws and that those lAws must be enforced. It often- 

 times takes public sentiment a long time to move in the right 

 direction, but that movement in the right direction is sure to come. 

 And to-day we find but very few people in the State that do not 

 think we ought to have our game and fish laws well enforced. 

 They have seen the game and hsh disappear, and their only hope 

 is the enforcement of our game and fish laws. Clubs are being 

 organized in almost every town in the State, and although not as 

 well represented at the State Association as I think they ought to 

 be, most of them are doing something toward protecting the game 

 and fish. 



"The twenty-fourth General Assembly appropriated $4,000 for 

 the support of the Fish Commission, and we hope it will be well 

 used. 



"We have bad a change in th* office of Fish Commissioner, and 

 1 hope we have a man in the office who will interest himself in 

 the work and do it well. There is no reason why every lake and 

 stream in the State of Iowa should not be well stocked with fine 

 fish, and I ask every member of this Association and every mem- 

 ber of a shooting or fishing club in the State to help the Fish Com- 

 missioner in his work. Let our legislatures see that the money 

 appropriated is well spent and we shall have no trouble to get all 

 the money needed for the work. Hundreds of thousands of 

 dollars are sent out of Iowa every year for fish. With good work 

 on the part of the Fish Commissioner a large share of the money 

 could be kept at home. 



"The old saying that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull 

 boy," is a very true one. Give the boys a fish pole and a gun. Let 

 them rove over the prairies and sail on the lakes and streams and 

 we willhave strong healthy men. The best men of our nation 

 have been those men who have taken their rod and gun and gone 

 to the forest and prairies, the lakes and streams, in search of fish 

 and game, and left all care behind. They exercise the mlnH and 

 muscle and at the same time breathe the pure air of heaven." 



Mr. Nelson Royal, the able secretary for the past year, con- 

 tinued the story of the efforts of protective legislation, and pre- 

 dicted better results soon. He begged the members to remember 

 that this was the principal object of the Association. 



Mr. C. O. Perkins, treasurer, submitted his report, showing a 

 balance on hand at the beginning of this shoot of $349 40. 



Upon motion of Mr. Sessions, of Algona, the president was re- 

 quested to forward to the new State Fish Commissioner, the Hon. 

 Judd Griggs, lists of the officers of all the State clubs, with the 

 assurance that such clubs would give all the local assistance in 

 their power. ^~H> 



After spirited discussion on the nominations for next year's 

 meeting place, the town of Clear Lake, Iowa, was chosen. Clear 

 Lake has no gun club, but it has Charlie Grim. The nearby 

 towns will take as much interest as though it was their own 

 meeting and the shoot will be a su"cess. This year shooters were 

 on hand from all the corners of the State. Next year there 

 should be an attendance equally good. Clear Lake is a pleasant 

 spot and no one will regret the trip. 



When it came to the election of officers it was realized that 

 there was only one man for president, the same who has bad an 

 air-tight cinch on the position for many years, Mr. J. G. Smith. 

 The list was chosen as below: Pres.. J. G. Smith, of Algona; 

 First Vice-Pres., N. S. Young, of Burlington; Second Vice-Pres. 

 C. A. Tyler, of Le Mars; See'y, Chas Grim, of Clear Lake; Treas., 

 S. S. Sessions, of Algona. Directors— C. W. Budd, of Des Moines- 

 W. F. Hammond, Grinnell; W. H. Evans, Red Oak; J, H. Kroy! 

 Davenport; E. E. Hegmau Independence. Law Committee— L. 

 L. L. Delano, Atlantic; Nelson Royal, Des Moines; J. M. Gordon, 

 Burlington. 



General discussion of the common cause ensued. Members 

 from the upp«r portion of the State told bow the prairie chicken 

 of Iowa had been eaten up by the freezers, which remained a con- 

 stant incentive to shooting before the season opened. 



Mr. Sessions found it hard to catch tbe law-breakers. Mr. 

 Grim cited capes where they had been caught. Mr. Smith told of 

 several arrests and fines. Adjourned at 11:30 P. M. 



Wednesday, Second Day, May JS5. 



The weather was very pleasant, a brisk breeze after noon 

 making the live birds faster. The live bird shooting was the 

 greater attraction, 1,100 birds being shot. These averaged about 

 as birds in this parallel do at this season; some very good some 

 very poor. 



The sport of live bird shooting cannot be said to have been ex- 

 emplified here to-day. In the hurry to run off the events the 

 squad system, walk around, five traps, wa< adopted. As soon as 

 a man had shot at No. 1 trap he passed to No. 2. and the puller 

 went with him, the King traps, patent flapper, being pulled by 

 loose ropes. The shooter in each case, therefore, stood directly 

 behind the trap which held his bird, and could cover the trap 

 direct. This is meTe tournament work. It is not sport and it is 

 not pigeon shooting, and one can not forbear surprise at seeing it 

 here, where the study should be not to hasten through a pro- 

 gramme, but to $Vow sport at its best. 



With all due respect a}ao jt is suggested tlj^t there should not 



I be again seen the method of gathering birds in use to-day. In 

 t hese days, of advanced methods at tbe trap, each bird is gathered 

 as soon as shot, and the pitiable spectacle of crippled birds is not 

 presented. This is the modern method, and it is now general. It 

 should have been followed here by all means. Here no birds were 

 gathered until all five traps were shot down. At best, tbip is a bad 

 method, but even this method was not observed. At 10 A. M. I 

 saw 25 birds gathered at one time, cripples and all. At 2 P. M. I 

 saw 16 birds brought in at one time, and of these 7 were flapping. 

 It is not criticism, but only kindness, to suggest that it is due to 

 modern sportsmensbip that such practices as the above should 

 not occur at a State shoot, or at any shoot. It is true that time 

 can be saved and money made in this way. but is not far more 

 lost than all that can be gained? It costs but little to hire an extra 

 boy or so to gather birds. These should be instructed to kill a 

 crippled bird at once, and never to indulge in such barbarities as 

 throwing a dead bird at a living crippled one. The flower of a 

 State's sportsmanship, such as we saw here, can easilv teach boys 

 and men tbat shooting is not inhuman. It can and should do this. 

 It is believed, however, that the necessity for this reluctant com- 

 ment arose not so much from deliberate plan as from the hurry 

 and confusion of the effort to push the shooting rapidly as possi- 

 ble. Tbe scores:
