FOREST AND STREAM. 
Miss Hazel McCall (Silver Heels) was the only pap- 
poose present. She was the pet of the tribe, and an 
especial favorite with the Americans. She was presented 
with a beautiful trophy with the tribe insignia on the 
same, as a mark of their love and appreciation of the 
little miss. 
Ewing, Wakefield, Howard, Downes, Upton, Duff 
Vivian McGill, McCall, Craig, Eaton, Westover, Mars- 
land Duck, are contemplating entering the G. A. IT. 
Look out for a “stone wall squad’’ from this bunch 
of boys. There may be a bunch of Yankee shooters 
properly ‘eye wiped.” 
_ Reed, of Manchester, N. H., “the shooting 
Mayor, was in evidence at all times, and was a favor¬ 
ite at every turn. 
Buffalo' Smith, of Boston, was certainly a most ex¬ 
cellent representative of the Palefaces, and at once in¬ 
troduced among the Red Brothers what upon first ap¬ 
pearance looked to be an innocent time-piece. Upon 
closer notice the dial had, upon the face, numbers run- 
ning from 1 to 35, black and red, odd and even; also a 
single 0 and a double 00 appeared' upon the face, which 
Buffalo innocently explained was a slight per cent which 
accrued to him for having purchased and having in his 
possession this innocent toy. To every Indian present 
this toy was a revelation. What did you ask? Results’ 
Well, Buffalo started at once for Boston “by hand ” 
He is now some place between Quebec and Boston ac¬ 
curately counting the ties and explaining to any willing 
listener that he is unfortunately color blind. It is cer¬ 
tainly hoped by his many friends that he will reach home 
m time to be present at the Interstate shoot in Boston, 
July 16, '7, 18, as he would be sadly missed. 
High Chief Geo. McGill got mixed up—shot a strange 
gun the first day without discovering the difference. 
Forest Conover told the writer confidently—and I trust 
it will go no further—that McGill is subject to brain 
storms of this character. 
The lunch service at Kent House, occupied as a home 
in 1791 by the Duke of Kent, father of her Majesty 
Oueen Victoria, was certainly to be commended. Every 
locality in and about the Kent House is replete with 
historical events, and proprietor T. W. Baker is an 
ideal host. 
On the opening day of the tournament, M. IT. des 
Rivieres’ (one of the most active and enthusiastic chiefs) 
mother was called to the great unknown. In this his 
great bereavement, I wish to extend to him the sympathy 
and condolence of the tribe of American Indians, as the 
assessment made upon all sportsmen for the benefit of 
St. Anne Church was certainly along the right lines, and 
was responded to most liberally. The appeal made by 
Tom Duff, with tears streaming down his cheeks was 
one of the most pathetic sights ever witnessed, and cer¬ 
tainly had the desired effect. 
It will be at least thirty days before “pick-ups” can 
be secured, as it will require at least that length of time 
for some of the targets to light. 
Ray Luck had the “Sapolio smile” more firmly seated 
upon that 7 by 9 countenance after winning the Indian 
CUD. 
Geo. Vivian is a young man yet, but he is still on 
earth with the best Canuck dialect ever. George is a 
hit any jump on the road. 
Walter Ewing handicapped until his heart deserted him; 
but one of the best shots on either side of the border. 
Tom Upton, “makes short stops and has to work fast.” 
Never is a shoot right without Tom. 
The English and American flags flving side by side 
surely did 1 cok good; and the compliment was appre¬ 
ciated by the visiting Americans. 
There will be a goodly number of Canadians at the 
G. A. H. This is a hunch to Fred Teenle. I would 
like to make personal mention of many others, both In¬ 
dians and visitors, but a space limit is winning against 
me. Suffice it to say, we enjoyed every minute we were 
with you. and promise a return visit any time a chance 
is offered. 
High Chief D. McMackon and Ed. White were missed.

WESTERN TRAP. 
In Other Places, 
The Danville, Ill., Gun Club is now well supplied with 
trophies. The' Peters Cartridge Company has presented 
a fine silver trophy, the Hunter Arms Co. has donated 
a vase, and the Dupont Powder Company has sent a 
copper vase. All these will keep the boys shooting 
very regularly throughout the st'ason. 
The Niles, O., Gun Club decided to at once erect a 
club house that will house and shelter the membeVs and 
all their belongings. The club is in a prosperous con¬ 
dition. 
The Infallible Gun Club, of Buffalo, N. Y., will be 
compelled to seek new quarters for its traps and shooting 
ground, owing to a race track being built where they 
formerly held their shoots. 
The? Harmer-Ogden, Ill.. Gun Club has opened up 
the season of 1907 by holding a tournament. 
Capt. Ladgard, manager of East Grand Forks. Minn., 
Gun Club, is now engaged getting the grounds ready 
for the' summer’s shooting. All shooters are invited to 
join in the contests. 
Members of the Marion, Ill., Gun Club are ge'tting 
eager for the contest wherein the Dupont trophy is to 
be the prize for 1907. W. L. Durham now has the 
trophy in his window on exhibition. 
G. C. Towne made the highest score and broke all 
records of the Mankato Gun Club by breaking 50 
straight targets. Mr. J. A. Lulsdorf had previously 
made 49. out of 50. 
Extensive improvements are to be made by the Omaha, 
Neb., Rod and Gun Club on their park and lake during 
this spring. It is now one of the strongest clubs in this 
country and goes in for amusements of all kinds. 
The Knapp Island Gun Club has contracted for 1,800 
acres of land on an island in the Illinois River near 
Havana. Til. The price, $40,000, is furnished by promi¬ 
nent Chicago men.

Why the Lefever Can Always Be Kept Tight 
IVhen your gun shoots loose and you can't correct it, you fan not discard it too soon. 
beTwL'nlhe'barTersa^d^the^ami? 1111 Ul ^ Wear at this point) leaves “ °P enin e ' 
When any natural wear occurs in the Lefever, simply remove the fore end 
and turn screw F slightly to the right. This forces the barrel tightly against 
the frame and makes the gun absolutely tight again. 
The Lefever Shot Gun 
Simple s-piece mechanism—no other gun has less than 6 parts. It has a 
cocking hook which takes the strain off the hinge joint; a dovetailed top 
fastener and bevelled compensating bolt; indicators to show when the gun 
is cocked; the mechanism is independent of the lock plates. Adjustable 
safety ; imported barrels and stock. The Lefever is the result of fifty years 
of experience. Every gun is tested minutely and must shoot dead center at 
40 yds. with even distribution and maximum penetration in a 30 -in. circle. 
Examination and comparison at your dealers will clinch our words. It is a perfectly 
accurate gun at the traps and the acknowledged leader of all shot guns. 
We have a line catalogue to send you may we have your name and address?

22 CaliberJRepealing'RifJe 
Think of a repeating rifle that weighs only 3 
pounds 10 ounces! And be sure to examine one of 
these 77Zar/in Baby Featherweight Repeaters be¬ 
fore selecting a .22 for the vacation trip. 
. This is a mighty capable 
little rifle as to accuracy 
and penetration, and has 
in no way been weakened 
by the reduction in weight nor lias quality 
been sacrificed to make the cost as low as it is. 
The good old Ballard system of rifling is main¬ 
tained here as is the special gun-barrel steel in the 
barrel. The breech block, receiver and all work¬ 
ing parts are made of the fflar/vi quality of gun 
frame steel, all working points hardened against 
wear. The walnut of stock and sliding fore-end 
is the best to be had. 
The action is on the trombone system and handles 
the .22 short cartridge but by means of an extra 
carrier, readily inserted, .22 long-rifle cartridges can 
be used, thus making this handy little arm a weapon 
of no mean execution. 
We cannot urge you too strongly to look at one 
of these rifles if your dealer has one in stock. The 
772ar/tn featherweight .22 is a most entertaining 
companion few the fishing trip, hunting trip or 
vacation wherever it may take you. The cost is 
small, the ammunition is cheap and light to carry, 
and the fun to be had with one of these rifles is 
immense. 
Send three stamps for our new catalog, which contain? a fuller de¬ 
scription of this rifle and tells of the many other fflar/in guns,
