You Need a Koban 
For Your Rowboat 
Just think what it would 
mean to have that rowhoat 
of yours skim over the 
water at 10 to 12 miles an 
hour — where you will and 
when you will — without 
any of the old hack-break- 
ings labor at the oars. 
The Koban, due to its 2- 
cylinder con- 
struction, is ab- 
solutely vibra- 
tionless and gives 
more power and 
speed than any 
lother rowboat 
I motor. 
i Special tilting de- 
vice, for shallow 
water and beach 
ing.

was trotting right along, and no doubt was 
the same one the wolves were after the 
day before; and was on his way back to 
his old range. I ran back and got the 
gun and when I got back to the lake he 
had plunged in and was swimming across. 
I waited until he got about half way 
across then I started along up the edge 
as fast as I could go. He saw me now 
and commenced to make frantic efforts to 
reach the shore. I got to within 40 yards 
before he hit the bank and just as he was 
getting his forefeet up on the bank, I 
fired, hitting him squarely behind the 
shoulder. He lunged forward and strug- 
gled up the bank, ran a few yards and 
fell. This was a fine buck, with six 
points on each horn, one was a droop 
horn; I saved the horns and have them 
yet. I then went to camp and waited for 
Temp to come and then we went up and 
put him on a horse and brought him in. 
When I told Temp I had killed an elk he 
would hardly believe me, but I told him 
that when he went to pack it in that he 
would think I had killed one, as it was 
sure going to be a big job, but Teanp was 
ready to tackle anything; he was so 
tickled over killing the bear and cougar. 
Anyhow, we got it done, and we had to 
lay over long enough to jerk the meat. 
We soon racked out for home arriving 
without any mishaps, having killed four 
bear, three cougar, six deer, two gray 
wolves and an elk. Temp said this was 
the greatest hunt he ever had in his life 
and was ready to go again any time he 
got a chance. He had it sooner than he 
anticipated, for we had not been home 
three days before we got word that a big 
brown bear had been on the rampage over 
in a neighborhood, about twenty miles 
from where we were, and was killing 
sheep and hogs. They had been out after 
him with all kinds of dogs, but they would 
quit. They wanted me to bring Trailer, 
and give him a round up. Temp was wild 
to go, so I told him we would go and 
see what we could do with him. So we 
rigged up and went over and put up with 
a man named Nichols, who gave us all 
the information he could and offered to 
go with us. “But I’ll tell you, Griffin,” 
he said, “I don’t believe your dogs can 
handle him. We have had some of the 
best dogs in the country after him and 
he has whipped them all.” I said : 
“That’s all right, Trailer and Ranger 
have never been after him yet.” “Well, 
he said, “I know they have the reputa- 
tion of being the best hear dogs in the 
country, but when they get Old Brownie 
started they will be up against a hard 
proposition.” “Well, I said, “if they get 
Old Brownie started and fail to stop him, 
I’ll agree with you but not before.” 
Temp was smiling all the time, as he had 
great confidence in Trailer. 
I T was a kind of rolling, hilly country, 
with deep gulches running away from 
it, and sometimes thick brush on one 
side and rather open on the other. By 
keeping around the head of these gulches 
a person could ride a horse, as it was 
practically all open. When we got ready 
to go I had Temp saddle his horse and go 
around above and I told him that as soon 
as he heard the dogs, if they were eoming 
up one of these gulches, to get there as
