Pacific Indians Tournament. 
Eugene, Ore., June 15.—The fourth annual tourney, 
pow-wow and potlatch of the Pacific Indians goes into 
history to-day as the best in the history of the organiza¬ 
tion, as well as bringing out the largest attendance to 
any trapshooting event held in the Northwest in many 
moons. There was an average of fifty-three shooters a 
day. With the Interstate money-back system and the 
handsome prizes offered, there was little chance of the 
Indians making any money on the tournament. They 
refunded the entire entrance fee of every loser and 
divided the handsome sum of $371 among twenty-four 
high scores. 
Practice Day. 
With perfect skies and all things favorable, the open¬ 
ing practice program was auspiciously inaugurated on 
Monday, the 12th, with forty-one contestants facing the 
traps. The program arranged for the afternoon consisted 
of 100 targets in four 15 and two 20-target events, op¬ 
tional sweeps for amateurs, the regular Rose system 
of division being used. While there was a decidedly 
brisk wind blowing straight into the traps, it was ap¬ 
parent from the first that some good scores would be 
returned, as the perfect sky background made every 
target a fair mark. 
Among the Indians, Poston, Les. Reid and Riehl led 
the field, and each accounted for 97. Then came in a 
paleface friend from Albany, Ore., who rolled up a 
score of 96, this bemg tied by Barkley, while Chingren, 
Dryden and Guy Holohan each accounted for 93. 
Opening Day, June 13. 
With all conditions favorable, the tournament began 
promptly at 10 dclock, and the program was rushed 
through in splendid time and without a hitch. For the 
day fifty-six men faced the traps, making the attendance 
the best of any shoot held in the Northwest this year, 
as well as the best in the history of the Pacific Indians’ 
organization. 
On the day’s work the paleface visitors rather put it 
over the Indians. Guy F. Holohan ran up the fine score 
of 147 out of 150, closely following him in this class were 
Peter O’Brien with 142, P. P. Nelson 139, and Drew 
Griffin, of the local club, with 138. Among the Indians, 
Lee Barkley led with 145, Frank Riehl accounting for 
144 and Hugh Poston 139. 
Evidencing the interest of the townspeople, there were 
hundreds of visitors, and a score of automobiles plied 
back and forth throughout the day. A few of the boys 
in full Indian costume seemed in proper place, helping 
to emphasize the occasion. 
Second Day, June 14. 
Weather perfect, and scores even better than on Mon¬ 
day. Barkley led the bunch with a grand total of 195 
out of 200; Riehl second with 192. Among the palefaces, 
Fred Dryden accounted for 188, and Dennis 187, as did 
also Peter O’Brien. 
Fun With a Trophy. 
Then came some rare good sport with the Chingren 
challenge trophy. This was offered at the Indian shoot 
one year ago, and won at Nelson, B. C., last July by 
Frank Riehl, who held it until now. In this tournament 
there were twenty-three contestants for the same. Lee 
Barkley piled up a truly phenomenal score of 99. which 
may never be beaten. Riehl was second with 94, and 
Peter O’Brien third with 93. 
Then immediately there were six challenges for the 
trophy, and in the draw, J. A. Forbes,' of Vancouver, 
B. C., won the first chance. However, the boys were 
keyed up to shoot, and a great crowd of visitors wished 
to see the sport, wherefore Barkley agreed to wave the 
thirty-day limit clause and shoot against all present 
challengers at once. 
A second race was therefore shot by Messrs. Barkley, 
Riehld, Poston, Chingren, Cullison and Guy Holohan. 
In this more great shooting was done, to the intense 
interest of a great audience. On the 80 singles Barkley 
and Riehl tied with 79; but on the doubles the former 
had the best of it, and the race finished with these two in 
the same relative position as before; scores 97, 94, and 
other contestants: Poston 93, Chingren 90, Holohan 88, 
Cullison 85. 
Last Day. 
Conditions continued favorable, and the attendance 
again went -above the half hundred mark. Barkley car¬ 
ried up his great pace, and finished ahead for the day 
and the meet with a total of 437 out of 450. Riehl was a 
good second with 429 accounted for, and Guy Holohan 
came in third with 428. Among the paleface amateurs 
O’Brien was high with a total of 419. Several strong 
finishes were made this day, notably by W. Q. Caldwell, 
of Portland, who skipped only five for the day, and 
Chingren also came in fast at the finish. 
Immediately following the regular program, six more 
braves tempted fate and invincible form by again chal¬ 
lenging Barkley for the coveted Chingren trophy. The 
Seattle shooter was not to be defeated, however, at this 
meet. Two hundred people watched the race with in¬ 
tense interest, and on the singles it was a tie between 
Barkley and Poston, with Riehl only one to the bad. 
In the doubles, however, the former again led and the 
race finished with the remarkable totals of 98 for 
Barkley, Poston 96, Riehl 95, Dryden 93, Cullison 91, 
G. Holohan 90, and Chingren 88. 
Of the other medals offered, Barkley won the high 
Indian and general honors, donated bv Messrs. Poston 
and Ralph Barkley, of the Seattle Club, same being 
donated by Mr. Reid. 
The three Ind : an class medals were won as follows: 
The Delate by Les. Reid on a score of 50 straight; the 
Skookum by M. Abraham, on a tie, from Chingren, and 
the Kloshe by Lester Prior, of California. 
The annual meeting of the tribe was held at Hotel 
Osburn and adjourned to the 15th for final settlement. 
Phenomenal Shooting with 
THE PARKER. GUN 
At the Grand American Handicap, Columbus, Ohio, June 23 ,. 1911 , Mr. Lester German, of Aber¬ 
deen Md., won the Professional Championship from the 18 yd. mark, with the remarkable score of 
198 out of 200 targets, defeating the best shooters in the country. Ever since the inauguration of 
this high class event, it has been won by THE OLD RELIABLE PARKER, and is conceded 
to be the severest test of man and gun. It also emphasizes the fact that THE PARKER GUN 
is the strongest shooting, and makes the most even pattern of any gun made. The Professional 
Championship is a scratch event, all shooters standing on the 18 yd. mark.^ 
Mr. German the same day, again demonstrated the value of THE PARKER GUN in competi¬ 
tion, by defeating a large field of the best shooters in the country in the Championship event at 
DOUBLE Targets, breaking 89 out of 100 , from the 16 yd. mark. 
In the Preliminary Handicap, Mr. C. B. Eaton, an amateur of Fayette, Mo., shooting THE 
PARKER GUN, made the phenomenal score of 99 out of 100 targets, and tied with Mr. Buck- 
waiter. In the shoot-off, Mr. Eaton defeated his opponent with a straight run of 20 , thus winning 
the event. 
This remarkable shooting is only one of many reasons why you should shoot THE PARKER GUN.

Th e A ngler’s Workshop 
RODMAKING FOR BEGINNERS 
By PERRY D. FRAZER . 
A unique work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and the experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his 
own ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information 
gathered by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in 
fishing, tournament casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates 
.not at all. He tells ‘‘the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way 
that makes results certain. All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; 
to tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament 
fly-rods. Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter 
on split bamboo rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever 
published, indispensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid. $1.
