Good salmon fishings are at a premium these days, and 
the rare offerings of good streams are quickly snapped 
up whenever the opportunity presents itself. In the 
current Forest and Stream four and one half miles 
of superb fishing is offered at a bargain.— Adv. 
A perfect smoke is the desire of every lover of the 
weed. There are pipes and pipes, and the best is none 
too good for the real smoker. The Crown pipe manu¬ 
factured by the Minteer Pipe Co., of Chicago, is a 
guaranteed perfect pipe, constructed on a new and 
scientific principle. 
The Ideal Manufacturing Co., of New Haven, Conn., 
which manufactures fine reloading implements, makes 
a number of claims for the Ideal patent metal gas check 
bullets. These are economy, accuracy and efficiency, 
cleanliness, no metallic fouling, and no perceptible wear 
on the barrel. The Ideal Company has received a mul¬ 
titude of testimonials showing that these claims are 
well founded, and that most of them are so is obvious. 
The company manufactures a great variety of these bul¬ 
lets, adapted to the Winchester, Marlin and other high 
power rifles. It furnishes also a set of rules showing 
how to obtain the best results in rifle shooting with these 
balls. All these matters possess a deep interest for the 
constantly growing army of rifle shooters, and any reader 
of Forest and Stream who sends to the Ideal Company 
his name and address and six cents in stamps for post¬ 
age, will be furnished with a copy of the latest Ideal 
“Handbook of Useful Information to Shooters.” Ad¬

LICENSES—GUNS AND DOGS. 
Almost every Briton is a sportsman at heart, 
and is passionately fond of the various appli¬ 
ances required in circumventing game. If he 
lives in the country, a shotgun or a rifle is 
counted among his most highly prized posses¬ 
sions; and, although he seldom or never levels 
the weapon against a living creature, he feels 
proud and happy in having it always ready to 
his hand. The large majority of gun owners 
entertain no hope of ever having an oppor¬ 
tunity to shoot game of any kind. As a matter 
of fact, rightful game shooters comprise only 
25 or 30 per cent, of the total number of people 
who own guns. The Scottish Field says that a 
study of returns with respect to licenses issued 
from time to time by the Inland Revenue 
authorities always proves interesting and sug¬ 
gestive. The number of gun owners who paid 
license duty in these islands in 1S81 was 150,126; 
in 1896 it had increased to 189,847; and in 1905 
it stood at 238,026. In 1907 it had reached 
240,789, the gross receipts received from the 
duty being £120,420. The number of licenses 
per thousand of the population was—in Eng¬ 
land and Wales, about eleven, in Scotland about 
nine, and in Ireland about six. Besides having 
a penchant for firearms, we may be aptly desig¬ 
nated a nation of dog-lovers. The most con¬ 
crete evidence obtainable on this point is like¬ 
wise the returns of the Inland Revenue licenses, 
for, if a man harbors a canine friend he is 
fined 7s. 6d. each year—if he is caught. Re¬ 
pressive measures passed by Parliament do not 
seem to have the least effect on the mercury of 
our attachment to the dog, except, perhaps in 
the way of raising the temperature. In 1890 
the dog licenses issued in Scotland and Eng¬ 
land numbered 882,717; in 1899 they numbered 
1,287,500; and in 1907, 1,727,864. A question of 
no small importance to the owners and occu¬ 
piers of moors, forests, fields and coverts is 
how a large proportion of these animals are 
habitually employed. Many thousands of dogs 
owned by farmers and shepherds, and in respect 
of which exemption from duty is granted, are 
not included in these figures.
