below Rankin Rapids, having a fine view over¬ 
looking the valley for miles. 
In the evening a French Canadian family of a 
man and wife and four children paid us a visit. 
The children were ready to kill any ducks they 
saw in the river and the sight of a rabbit and 
partridge near the camp made them crazy to 
chop off their heads. What hope is there for 
the game of the land when children are not 
checked in their fiendish, boyish desire to kill 
living creatures. The Audubon Society and 
William T. Hornaday are certainly doing a noble 
work in their efforts to save animal life. 
Day’s Journey—14 miles. 
September 1, 1913. 
One of the great pleasures of a Maine canoe 
trip is the early morning plunge into the lakes 
or rivers. It is a custom not usually practiced 
by the guides, but one that gives great pleasure 
to the sport. And now that we had reached the 
international boundary line anyone could have 
the distinction of swimming from the United 
States to Canada and return. 
To watch the change in the foliage was anoth¬ 
er interesting phenomenon. At the start color¬ 
ing was green, all shades, but now the verdure 
had become tinged here and there with streaks 
of yellow and the red berries of the mountain 
ash gave the shores a very pretty color effect, 
but alas, foliage and other beauties were being 
left behind by the apearance of saw mills and 
shanties and we realized that the real Maine 
woods were now out of sight as we approached 
the town of Fort Kent, where canoes and voy- 
ageurs are wagoned to the railroad station to 
board a train for their homes. 
A very different way of getting back to town 
was that of the trip recorded by Allen Ormsbee, 
of Brooklyn, N. Y., who with a party went 
through the Allagash region fifty-two years ago. 
They record a day’s paddling of forty-two miles 
from the Allagash Falls to Fort Kent, and then 
working on the Edmiston, Canada. They left 
this place at sunset with three single horse wa¬ 
gons and drove twenty-one miles that night to 
Degele. At 6 a. m. the next day they were off 
again and reached Riviere de Loupe, a distance 
of sixty miles by 9 p. m. Then they journeyed 
to Quebec where they could get steam transpor¬ 
tation. 
Nowadays it is a very easy matter to leave 
the Maine woods for the railroad has invaded 
the wilderness as far as Fort Kent and by 3 p. 
m. we pulled up in front of this former frontier 
town and were immediately surrounded by the 
village boys, who asked no end of juvenile ques¬ 
tions about camp life. And as the city sport 
goes through the streets of the town, hears the 
talk of railroads and the “opening up” of the 
Allagash country, he hopes the National or State 
Government will do something before it is too 
late and reserve a goodly portion of the glo¬ 
rious Maine woods for the benefit of all the peo¬ 
ple and for the preservation of that prime roman¬ 
tic, life giving sport—paddling your own canoe. 
Day’s Journey—18 miles. 
Total distance—153 miles from the North 
East Carry.

Trap Shooting at Youghiogheny Country Club. 
Outside of one of the big league shoots, representing 
shooters from the entire Western Pennsylvania District, 
Saturday’s Shoot at the Youghiogheny Country Club 
proved the largest that has ever been held at the Country 
Club grounds; or. in fact, any of the grounds in this 
neighborhood. The return match between Pitcairn 
shooters and McKeesport shooters was the drawing 
card, and McKeesport had no trouble defeating their 
old rivals with a score of 430 for the first ten men, 
against 402 rolled up by Pitcairn shooters. McKees¬ 
port’s ten high men were as follows: 
This shoot was the first of the regular season’s class 
system shoots being conducted at the Youghiogheny 
Country Club, and entitles Dr. Heisey, Dr. Ord and 
Mr. Painter to shoot off at the end of the season in 
Class “A” for the trophies to be distributed at that 
time; A. H. Rigsby and Harry Brooks in Class “B,” 
and Newlin, Wampler. Sr., J. W. Wilson and Geo. 
Hitchens in Class “C.” All those who have qualified 
in classes below Class “A” may in later shoots qualify 
in higher classes. At the end of the season there will 
be a first and second prize given in each class. 
The next shoot at the club will be on Monday, May 
18th. This will be a merchandise shoot and will be fol¬ 
lowed by one of the regular class system shoots on 
Saturday, June 6th. 
On next Saturdav, which is the opening day of the 
country club, the U.M.C. Co. are demonstrating Rem¬ 
ington Arms by having their Mr. Rush Razee, of Curtis, 
Nebraska, who is a fancy shot gun, rifle and pistol 
shot at the country club, at 2:30 in the afternoon and 
will give an exhibition on the trap shooting grounds. 
Mr. Razee does shooting similar to that performed by 
the Toppenweins, who will be well remembered by 
those who saw them perform last year and although 
there will be no regular contest at the traps, they will 
be open for all who may wish to shoot and there is 
no question but what a number of McKeesporters will 
avail themselves of the opportunity of going to the 
grounds and seeing the remarkable work that can be 
performed by a professional shot trained in this line 
of shooting.
