the temptation to stand and watch it for 
a, while as we were behind trees out of 
sight. 
Presently we made up our minds to 
shoot and at the crack of the guns he 
went down and my dog Trailor seized 
him by the ham and the other dog by 
the head. This proved to be a bad break 
as the bear threw a paw around the 
dog that had him by the head and pulled 
him down under him and began to chew 
him up without much ceremony. We 
ran toward them now and began to pour 
bullets into him thick and fast and had 
the satisfaction of seeing the dog slide 
out and, strange as it may seem, he was 
not badly hurt after all. I now put a 
shot in the side of his head which fin- 
ished him and the dogs were willing to 
quit, too, as they were very tired. This 
was a big brown bear and when we told 
the old prospector about him he said he 
had seen his track often. 
We packed him in and started for 
town with six big bucks and five bear. 
This happened several years ago but 
there is just as much game there now 
as there was then. Frank Coats and I 
were out in that same locality last sum- 
mer and we saw any amount of bear 
and deer signs, but as it was during the 
closed season we did not hunt any. 
Now in conclusion I will say to any 
of the readers of this story who appre- 
ciate it and want any information about 
hunting and fishing in Oregon, if they 
will write to me at Trinidad, California, 
and send a self-addressed envelope, I will 
endeavor to answer their questions to 
the best of my knowledge, but do not get 
it into your heads that you can have 
very much success in hunting bear with- 
out a dog. 
THE MAGNUM GUN 
(Continued from page 213) 
able to do. Noting the advertisement of 
the Lewis’ Magnum guns in Forest and 
Stream, my spirits were somewhat re- 
vived. 
I wrote to them and they replied that 
their Magnum gun would kill from eighty 
to one hundred yards using one and one- 
half ounces BB shot. (The English BB 
is about the size of our number one.) 
I ordered one of their finest guns and 
was shocked a few days later on reading 
an article in another magazine in which 
it was stated that the Magnum was in- 
tended only for black powder, and that 
very thin brass cases were required for 
the gun and that these cases could not be 
secured in this country and must of ne- 
cessity be ordered from England, the so- 
called “Perfect” cases. Also that the 
killing power of the gun would not be the 
same in this country because the duck 
shooting conditions were different and 
many other discouraging statements. 
I wrote at once to the Lewis people 
regarding the powder and shells and 
again asked about the killing range. 
They answered that their guns are bored 
for smokeless powder and that I could 
use three-inch cases (paper) as fur- 
nished in America, and that the cone in 
the Magnum is so made that cither brass 
or paper cases (shells) could be used, 1
