its flock of sheep,

difficult to find

kept. 
Fhe beautiful 
view from the

be surpassed.

Club owes its 
success largely 
to Mr. Benjamin 
fl'. Scburmeier, 
to whose interest 
and energy much 
of its prestige is 
due. Rarely has 
a club a mem¬ 
ber who can and 
will give bis 
undivided atten¬ 
tion to its im¬ 
provement, and 
in having Mr. 
Scburmeier as a 
m ember t b i s 
club is most for¬ 
tunate.

Shooting box¬

not now features 
of these Western

people are yet 
too earnest and 
serious in their 
pursuits to feel 
the need of them, 
but the club s 
form the center 
of all social life 
and meet its de¬

be added.
