The Pacific Indians. 
The world-old story of the little acorn as exemplify¬ 
ing the growth of an idea is again strikingly brought 
to mind in the first annual meeting of the Pacific In¬ 
dians, at Medford, Ore., Sept. 7, 8 and 9. 
How the original thought of the Indians sprang from 
a chance remark by Elmer E. Shaner, some fifteen years 
ago, and was worked out to a splendid fulfilment by a 
number of the leading spirits who follow at intervals 
the sport of inanimate target shooting, is a familiar 
story. That the Indians have for a generation stood 
for the best that sportsmanship in America implies_ 
represented in several subsidiary organizations, which 
became necessary from the fact that the country is too 
large for all the good fellows in the game to get to¬ 
gether as often as once a year in any one point, is 
also a well recognized fact. 
It was therefore inevitable that the great Far West with 
its undeveloped resources of future empire, should also 
have its Indian organization. This fact it was that im¬ 
pressed Frank Riehl (Chief Scribe of the Indians since 
the formation of the tribe) and prompted him shortly 
after fixing his abode in the West, to set going the 
forces which have resulted in this latest triumph, not 
of any one or a few individual minds, but of a 
fortuitous idea. 
And it was a great occasion, fraught with inestimable 
possibilities of future development; and this for several 
reasons. One of these is that out here in the West the 
red man has not passed from the stage of real life to 
the pages of history and uncertain mythology. Here he 
is still a familiar figure in the flesh; better, as a rule, 
though, sad to say, sometimes worse, for his contact 
with cmhzatmn; passed from savagery and now recog¬ 
nized as a citizen, yet with enough of the glamor of the 
past about him to be interesting, and a language 
still all his own. Thus it happens that in the Pacific 
Indians more of the older and truer aboriginal ideas 
and lingo are used than in the older organizations. The 
names of chiefs and familiar objects are genuine, and 
many of the members can converse freely in the 
Chinook jargon. And the costumes worn are not imita- 
but ’ almost without exception, the true aboriginal 
All of which, of course, becomes chiefly interesting 
f .< app 1 '^ 16 through the fact that the inherent love 
ot the first Americans” for the free and open air and 
the sports of pursuit—of marksmanship and the per¬ 
sonal contests of the listed tourney—are taken and ac¬ 
cepted the world over, but chiefly on this continent, as 
indicating the coursing of that "red blood” in the veins 
which makes of man the dominant creature that he is. 
It has also come to be accepted as an axiom that 
nowhere in the world does the word welcome mean so 
much as in the West; and be it here recorded that 
nowhere in all the West could it mean more than in 
the beautiful little city of Medford, in the heart of the 
world-famous Rogue River Valley of southern Oregon. 
Here, one year ago, the first informal steps of organiza¬ 
tion were taken, and here this week the sportsmen of 
the Pacific Slope, from northern British Columbia to 
southern California, and from the Rockies to the sea 
stamped this idea with the seal of their approval, and 
gave to American sportsmanship the greatest impetus 
J t has ever received in the West. 
The good-fellowship dominating this meeting began 
even before the advance guard arrived, when the boys 
headed southward from the Washington-British Colum- 
bia-Oregon circuit in a telegram handed to Herald 
Riehl on the San Francisco Limited at Cottage Grove 
which read: 9 
shooters > , , ^ I ' e * ightec * ; Medford awaits chiefs, braves and 
This, in a measure, prepared the pilgrims for the re¬ 
ception which met them Saturday morning at the hands 
ot the entertainment committee, wearing a bright red 
badge of The First Annual Meeting, Pacific Indians,” 
etc. Across the main street was a great banner with 
the legend, Kalaham Kloosh Tillicum Midlite,” which 
interpreted, means, Welcome, good friends, while you 
tarry here. And at other points life-like Indian figures 
on canvas and the wording Kalaham sex—How are you, 
triends?—and other sentiments to that effect. Although 
the city, in the midst of harvesting a record fruit crop, 
was overcrowded at the time, the guests were soon made 
comfortable in various hotels, and a gala week was 
fairly inaugurated. The stranger who could not attend 
but merely reads this lines, will perhaps more readilj 
understand to what extent the preceding sentence i> 
true when the fact is stated that the citizens raised $S6t 
in cash—$250 added money and $550 for special enter 
taining, on account of this meet, to say nothing o 
wagon-loads of fruit, free.automobile service, boats foi 
fishing, and other courtesies, and the elaborate fittin; 
up of the shooting range by the Medford Rod anc 
Gun Club. 
The range was located on a large open prairie north 
east of town, on the edge of a small grove of largi 
spreading oaks, burdened with mistletoe. Tile shoot 
ing background was of the very best, as were also thi 
traps, a Leggett and Leggett Ideal, in the competen 
charge of Charles North. Nothing, in fact, but thi 
weather was left as an element and chance to militati 
against high scores. 
The attendance covered all the territory geographic 
ally within the scope of the tribe, and in addition fou 
Chiefs of the Indians from the Middle States, who weri 
received as honorary members and fellows, and en 
tered in all competitions during the week on the sam< 
basis as the Pacific Indians. Of this party were Capt 
Tom A. Marshall, Fred Gilbert, Chris. Gottlieb am 
Chas. A. North; and be it said right now that thei 
presence was enjoyed by all, and the wish fathered tin 
thought that they may be with us on many future annual 
meets. 
The shoot was run off in record time each day, in tha ! 
snappy Indian style that has become the ideal of ever’ 
tournament manager. The work was done by the bund 
as a whole, every brave contributing something,. and thi 
writer does not recall in the memories of a long caree 
behind the gun ever attending a tournament where goo< 
will and the evident joy of the game was so apparen 
in every turn of the day’s events as here. 
The programme mapped out for the meet included nin. 
20-target events each on first and second days—fivi 
20-target events the morning of the third day, this con 
stituting a total of 460 targets for general average, am 
then the special prize and costume shoots on the las 
afternoon. 
Opening Day. 
The week’s work was informally begun with a prac 
tice shoot Monday afternoon. Jesse Enyart, of thi 
Medford Gun Club, fired the first shot at 1 in th 
afternoon, and in the ensuing two hours thirty-five mei 
shot at one hundred or more targets. The scores madi 
were of the highest order. Hugh Poston led the fielc 
with the almost perfect record of 99; then came Harr 
Ellis with 98, Charlie Thorp with 97, Fred Gilbert ani 
Maurice Abraham 96, Dr. Seeley 95. Lee Barklev 
Frank Riehl, Jack Forbes and Al. Adelmann 94, RalpI 
Miller and J. G. Naquin 92; this was all finishim 
above 90 per cent. 
The later afternoon was devoted to short excursion 
to Rogue River, the special amenities, and the even 1 
ing to the first session of the annual meeting. 
The meeting was held at the spacious rooms of thi 
Medford Commercial Club, Tyee Sachem Abraham pre 
siding. Minutes of first Organization at Medford om 
year ago, together With financial report to date, wen 
read by Herald-Custodian, and approved. A vote o! 
thanks was also taken and ordered to be recorded a: 
extended to the Herald-Custodian for his efforts in get 
ting the new order squared away for its useful am 
active career. 
It was moved to defer the election of new member: 
to the adjourned meeting later in the week, and t< 
limit the number of new members received at this timi
