"‘LOOK. OVETi THE HOSS” 
Your next Rifle should be a 
“ROSS”. 280 -(High Velocity) 
The unequalled power and consequent low trajectory 
of this .280 “Ross” model, its great strength and safety, its 
ability to withstand at the breech the greatest of pressures, its 
wonderful accuracy, its power to anchor any game it fairly hits, 
all these qualities are conceded. 
Increased manufacturing facilities devoted to this special model, 
and new selling arrangements in the United States will enable this 
** Ross’* model to be retailed at a uniform price of 
$55.00 Duty paid New York after May 1st. 
No sportsman will grudge this price for the very best rifle in the world. 
THE “ROSS” .280 SPORTING CARTRIDGE 
with cupper tube expanding bullet (patented) can now be bought from dealers throughout the United 
States, at $7.50 per hundred. The accuracy, range, and stopping power of this cartridge have excited 
the attention of hunters of large game throughout the world. This is the cartridge which gives the best 
results and should always be used with the "Ross” .280. If your dealer cannot show you the "Ross” .280 
and the "Ross” Sporting Cartridge, write direct for illustrated catalogue and name of nearest dealer.

Game. HAll along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their SALMON and TROUT fishing, also

season. The winner broke 95 earlier in the season. 
To J. Henry Vanderveer, a recently elected member 
belongs the long-rnn trophy, with 62, made two weeks
