•v just one bird over Lee Barkley and Jack Cullison; 
om Marshall, Fred Gilbert and J. G. Naquin came in 
or third. 
One of the remarkable features of the day was the 
oval feast of watermelons and fruit provided gratis for 
!l" guests by the good people of Medford; these came 
ut literally in wagon-loads, ripe, rare and so luscious 
lat many shooters who started with an eye to a record 
riling, came back from the score to the tune of 15 
r less out of the 20, and explained, when asked by 
olicitous friends, in the trite sentence, “Too much 
relon,” or words to that effect. 
In the evening, leaving the hotels at 4, twenty auto- 
lobiles took all guests on a drive to see the wonders 
f the Rogue River Valley orchards, now just bending 
nder their burdens—and a sight it was never to be for- 
otten. There are now planted to fruit trees in this 
onderful district something like 40,000 acres, of which 
■ss than one-tenth has reached full maturity. 
One of the features of the day, also, was the taking 
: a tribal photo of the Indians and guests, in which 
le warriors’ wives, Yahka, had the place of honor, 
he Indian custom of bringing the family, or at least 
tat portion of it represented by “the better half,” was 
3t neglected here, and it is doubtful if any shooter 
■er enjoyed an outing more than these good ladies, 
lose coming specially to the shoot being Mesdames 
'. A. Hillis, J. E. Enyart, Harry Ellis and daughter, 
. C. Riehl. L. H. and Jas. Reid, J. G. Naquin, D. W. 
ing, G. P. Wells, J. T. Dillon and daughter and 
dgar Hafer. 
Sept. 8, Second Day. 
For the second day there were again forty shooters, 
e exact number as at the beginning. Weather con- 
tions were ideal and some of the boys proceeded to 
nihilate the common enemy, the little clay birds, in 
Jrvelous manner. It was a race from start to finish 
tween Gilbert and Barkley, they finally tying for the 
y with only 3 each lost. Barkley finished with an 
[broken run of 114 straight. Next in order came 
G. Naquin, who finished with an unfinished run of 
losing 9 for the day, on a tie with Frank Riehl. 
ugh Poston lost only 10 for the day, and Mr. Helman, 
the home club, got fourth place with 169. The pro¬ 
amine was finished by a little after noon, and the 
ernoon was devoted to the enjoyment of the enter- 
nment furnished by the city. 
n the evening there was a parade of all the Indians 
d Kloochmen, who had suitable uniforms. This was 
■anged by the citizens’ committee, and proved simply 
magnificent and unqualified success. Words fail the 
iter to describe this feature of the week, and we 
11 defer to the word painting of the bright young 
:n of the local daily press. 
The Indians’ parade held last night was a huge sue¬ 
ts and was fully appreciated. The costumes and the 
its were unique and catchy, and the great crowd that 
iembled to see them roared themselves hoarse. 
Uter the parade was ended, Chiefs Dillon and Riehl 
the Indian ware dance around a red bonfire near the 
lot, and the occasional war-whoops of the braves 
ile one’s blood curdle and the scene seem all too 
listic Mr. Dillon was dressed in the finest suit of 
tkskin, and his head dress was magnificent, costing 
iroximately $150. 
tichard Reid was another brave whose costume was 
rthy of mention, and his genial spirit and war- 
oops gave life to the whole parade and the after 
ice % Mr. Reid and wife just arrived yesterday after- 
>n in time for the event. 
frs. Enyart, Mrs. Riehl and Mrs. Dillon wore their 
lochman costumes, and they certainly looked their 
t well. 
■ her the parade was over the Indians took possession 
Hotel Nash, and a general “pow-wow” and jolly good 
e was had. The parade was as follows: Chief Dillon 
I Mrs. Enyart on horseback. The Medford band, 
isevelt float, with big game lying all over it, and 
■dy, in the person of H. L. Patterson, standing 
rd with a gun ’steen feet long, more or less, 
rshall float, showing the world’s most wonderful 
ksman as he was caught_ in the wilds of Pittsburg, 
. and brought to the civilization of Medford to be 
ed. The Gilbert float, showing Fred In hiding after 
kley had made his unbroken perfect run of 114 
ts. The watermelon fiend, after he had tasted a 
Medford melon, a la Oliver Twist—“Give me more.” 
The tepee float, showing the Indians sitting around 
their camp fire. Automobiles filled with Indians and 
visitors. The streets were lighted with red fire and 
gave a weird and frontier cast to the parade. This was 
a fitting close to a successful score day. 
Sepf. 9, Third Day. 
To-day ended the Pacific Indians’ shoot, one of the 
most successful in the West. If had in it some very 
fine shots. 
One of the reasons that Western shoots do not have 
as many unbroken high runs as the Eastern shoots is 
accounted for by the fact that all clay birds, in order to 
stand shipment here, have to be made 16 per cent, 
tougher. Consequently they do not break so easily, 
and where they only dust here, Eastern clay birds, if 
hit that way, would break. 
The shoot here had some of the finest shots in the 
world as contestants. In the Dilate shoot yesterday 
nine of the world’s famous marksmen competed. Out 
of these nine will be picked the majority of next year’s 
Olympic team. 
Frank C. Riehl, of Tacoma, probably one of the 
finest and best-liked men on'the coast, won the Dilate 
medal, which is made of gold and is worth about $25 or 
$30. He made a perfect score of 50. When he had 
finished his enthusiastic friends carried him on their 
shoulders to the club house, and their shouts of triumph 
were heard in Medford. 
It was no small thing for him to win, for he was 
pitted against Gilbert, the world’s champion, and Bark¬ 
ley, who, with Gilbert, were high men at the shoot 
here, with an average of 97 per cent. 
The Dilate medal is only open to those whose average 
is 92 per cent, or over. 
The Skookum medal, open for those with an average 
of 37 to 92 per cent., was won by Heilman, of Ash¬ 
land, with a perfect sepre of 50, and his triumph caused 
an applause and rejoicing that overshadowed Riehl’s 
win, for there was quite a crowd of town people out at 
the shoot, and they went wild when they learned a 
local man had won honors from some of the best shots 
in the country: 
The Kloshe medal, open for those whose average is 
under 87 per cent., was won by King, with a score of 
46 out of a possible 50. 
The Jackson county shoot, for the Tribune cup, was 
won by Dr. Seeley. Both he and Enyart made perfect 
scores of 25, but on the shoot-off of the tie Seeley 
broke 22 to Enyart’s 21. 
The cup was won by Minard last year. After Seeley 
had won the cup, which is on exhibition at the Nash 
Hotel, his friends gave a genuine war dance with 
bloodthirsty war-whoops generously interspersed. 
So ends the shoot, and the credit of its huge success 
is. due to the fine and untiring work of Messrs. Wright, 
Bingham and Enyart for the local club, and Riehl, Mac- 
Call and North for the visitors. 
Mr. North not only installed the Leggett Ideal traps, 
but superintended them during the shoot, and it is due 
to his ability that the shoot progressed so well.
