FOREST AND STREAM.

This has been far and away the best tournament ever 
held by the tribe, the chiefs were naturally much elated, 
and unanimously voted the fullest praise to the Eugene 
Gun Club and the citizens, the press and hotels for the 
many courtesies extended. 
Moreover, that the club and people were pleased with 
their visitors was attested by the following character¬ 
istic letter: 
Eugene, Ore., June 12, 1911. 
To Tyee Sachem-Herald Custodian and other Braves: 
Greeting—’Tis not a far call, fellow braves, from the 
sunny plains of the Southwest, from the balmy slopes 
of the Northwest, to the evergreen shores of the mighty 
Willamette; therefore, we extend to you a most cordial 
welcome to rear your tepees and light your council 
fires among our shady glades, for your annual tourna¬ 
ment in 1912. We will welcome to our midst every 
brave who travels the rugged trail, and every kindred 
lover of the manly sport to the Kil Kokumel pee Mima- 
loose Illihe Kule Kula, with heap big chickamin, to the 
extent of - 
The principles being approved under the soothing 
influence of the pipe of peace, we are most sincerely, 
Y. T. Hensil, Geo. H. Smith, 
Tyee Sachem. Herald-Custodian. 
This communication being referred to the Tournament 
Committee, it was not surprising that the latter within 
twelve hours voted unanimously to keep the tribal tepee 
here for another year. Officers elected for the new year 
are: Tyee Sachem, E. J. Chingren; Makst Tyee Sachem, 
P. J. Holohan; Klone Tyee Sachem, M. Abraham; 
Herald-Custodian, Frank C. Riehl; Tillicum Wawa, L. 
R. Barkley, W. E. Carlon, F. C. Bush, C. A. Haight, 
A. J. Macdonnell, Frank Woodey, H. E. Poston. 
Then were elected to the tribe, nineteen new braves, 
same being duly initiated, as follows: Guy E. Holohan, 
Spokane, Wash.; I. M. Fisher, Seattle, Wash.; Geo. H. 
Smith, Eugene, Ore.; W. W. Caldwell, Portland, Ore.; 
Abner Blair, Portland, Ore.; H. H. Veatch, Cottage 
Grove, Ore.; J. D. . Cooper, Tacoma, Wash.; L. F. 
Prior, San Francisco; Dennis J. Holohan, Twin Falls, 
Idaho; T. D. Riley, San Francisco; F. A. Dryden, 
Walla Walla, Wash; D. W. Fleet, Montesano, Wash.; 
E. A. Bean, Eugene, Ore.; F. C. Bush, Gooding, Idaho; 
Hugh Kay, Eugene, Ore.; P. J. O’Brien, Walla Walla, 
Wash; R. A. Tyler, Portland, Ore.; A. W. Du Bray, 
San Francisco; J. C. Jensen, Tacoma, Wash. 
This was not a profit-making tourney for the Indians, 
but all were greatly pleased with its success, and all 
obligations were met, with some chickamin to start the 
new year, left on hand. And so ends the event. 
It were simply impossible to say too much in praise 
of the arrangements for the event on the part of the 
Eugene Gun Club. Mr. Shaner has well said that over 
half of the success of a shooting tournament depends 
upon the preparedness of the management before the 
first shot is fired. The writer has seen many tourna¬ 
ments in many cities, and States, and yet is free to say 
that the preparations for this meet were the most thor¬ 
ough and complete that he has ever found. 
To begin with, the location of the grounds is ideal. 
Picture a valley thirty miles wide, between snow-capped 
mountains on either side, and in the center a natural 
mound 100 feet high, as it were a big turtle, with the 
traps fixed on the reptile’s back; that is the Eugene 
range. Then the club house is as solid as a block 
house and literally burglar proof; and for this occasion 
the three Leggett-Ideal traps were set to face the north, 
in pits literally quarried out six feet deep in hardpan 
and rock, the traps fixed as if for all times on founda¬ 
tions as solid as the eternal hills, so well protected 
that one could not shoot into them with a high power 
rifle from the score line, and so large as to accommodate 
the operators in perfect comfort, besides starting the 
day with 10,000 targets ready at hand for use. The 
incidentals, score boards, special cashier’s tent, seats for 
shooters and visitors—in fact, all that you can imagine 
as making toward perfection—were there seemingly quite 
as a matter of course. To beat it were next to impos¬ 
sible, and equaling it we know of few that have, on the 
Pacific, Coast or anywhere else. 
As much can be said of tile way in which Eugene as 
a city, through its gun club and citizenship at large, 
took care of and entertained the guests of the week. 
Hotel accommodations were ample and of the best, the 
Commercial Club was thrown open to the guests, auto¬ 
mobiles were placed at the disposal of visitors every 
day and all, the time, delightful little parties were made 
up for the ladies, and for the chiefs who have not out¬ 
grown that primeval longing to sometimes a-fishing' go, 
half a dozen trips were planned and perfectly executed 
on that king of Western trout streams, the McKenzie 
River, and the only slightly less renowned waters of the 
upper Willamette. In short,-the entire community seemed 
to bend its energies to the aim of giving the visitors, 
anyhow this once, the time of their lives. Did they 
succeed? Well, just listen to this bunch of boosters 
for the next twelvemonth. 
It is not amiss to add, in this connection, that Eugene 
is one of the finest, fairest cities of the great potential 
State of Oregon. Situated in the wonderful Willamette 
valley, 125 miles south of Portland, it is the home of the 
State university, city of homes and culture. 
The following scores were made in practice:

HUNTER 
ONE- 
TRIGGER 
In the brush or at the traps you want to 
feel sure of your gun. A second’s loss of time means 
the loss of your bird or a failure to score in the competition. 
The strongest insurance policy the world over for sports¬ 
men is a Hammerless Smith Gun with the Hunter 
One-Trigger attachment. 
THE HUNTER ONE-TRIGGER gives a pull, short, clean 
and quick. There’s no creep or drag. The speed of the 
mechanism far exceeds the speed of the trigger finger. The 
aim is not disturbed because there is no relaxing, no re¬ 
gripping, no accommodating yourself to the different lengths 
of the stock—but just a firm, steady grip and pull. 
The very newest Hammerless Smith Gun is the 20 -Gauge Hunter 
One-Trigger —and it’s a beauty. Weighs only 5 
to 7 lbs. Just the finest gun that can be made at 
V. ^ ie i’ r ‘ ce — s ' m ply S un 
, , , paT and no frills. Be sure 
to ask your dealer 
■ ' about it.

Hillside Gun Club. 
Long Hill, Conn., June 24.—At the shoot of the 
Western Connecticut Trapshooters’ League to-day there 
were sixty-five men behind the guns. Clias. Vanstone, 
of Bridgeport, was individual high with 139 out of 150, 
of which 61 targets were broken without a miss. This 
is exceptionally good shooting for a second-year man. 
L Bradley was second with 134, and F. VV. Smith, third, 
with 132. G. Darton took first professional, 136; J. 
Fanning, second with 135. In the team shoots, Bridge¬ 
port won with 378 out of 450. Team scores follow, 90

Brownsville Gun Club. 
Brownsville, Tenn., June 23. —There was some dandy 
pastiming with a few members of the Brownsville Gun 
Club to-day. A good, hard, much-needed rain pelted 
down just as practice shooting began. Those remaining 
did so to get their first practice of the season. 
Unless the Fortune Teller has handed me a wrong 
guess, we will develop several high class trap shots.
