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 
1 m _ the price—simply all gun 
and no frills. Be sure 
to ask your dealer 
about it.

PLANNING A HOUSEBOAT 
Will be a leisure-hour occupation in many a family this winter. Houseboating has 
come among us to stay, and promises to be even more popular than in England 
itself. Every one who is interested in houseboats or who contemplates taking up 
this feature of outdoor life, should read Mr. Albert Bradlee Hunt’s practical, and, 
at the same time, beautiful work on the houseboat and its adaptation to American 
waters. 
HOUSEBOATS AND HOUSEBOATING 
Covers the entire range of its title, considers the use and opportunities of the house¬ 
boat; their relation to city and suburban life; construction, furnishing, motive power 
and all the thousand and one details, the knowledge o. which spells the difference 
between success and failure in houseboat building a id houseboat life. 
Details, plans, drawings and specifications illuminate the text, while life on 
houseboats is interestingly described. Some of the more noted English and 
American houseboats and the life thereon are also described at length with illus¬ 
trations. Buckram, heavy paper, sumptuously illustrated.

At Columbus, O., Feb. 22 and 23, Wm. Webster won

general average, both by a score of 282 out of 300, and 
both using Peters factory loaded shells. Mr. H. W. 
C'adwallader, of Decatur, using Peters factory loaded 
shells, won high general average at Chillicothe, Ill., 
Feb. 22, score 163 out of 190. Mr. C. A. Young, shooting 
Peters factory loaded shells, won high general average 
at Enon, O., Feb. 21; score 95 out of 100. At Tampa, 
Kans., Feb. 22, Mr. Ed. O’Brien won high general 
average, 127 out of 150, and Geo. W. Lewis, second 
general average, 120 out of 150, both using Peters factory 
loaded shells. At Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 22, Mr. Neaf

fessional at Phillipsburg, N. J., Feb. 25, 132 out of 140,

At the recent shoot of the Whitemars Gun Club, 
Foot Side Inn, St. Thomas, Pa., the high amateur 
score was obtained by Morris A. Freed, who broke 258 
clay birds out of a possible 310. Frank A. Zeigler, with 
a score of 257 birds out of 310, was second high ama¬ 
teur. Third high amateur was W. Clegg, who broke 255 
birds out of 310. This was a two days’ shoot, widely 
attended and the results are interesting from the fact 
that the three high score men were all equipped with 
Stevens repeating shotguns. 
The simplicity of the locks in the Ithaca gun appeals 
to many gun buyers, and the handsome little 20-gauge 
Ithaca guns are in high favor with men who prefer light¬ 
weight guns. Send to Ithaca Gun Co., Box 25, Ithaca, 
N. Y., for illustrated catalogue. 
Some of the Milam reels made more than a half cen¬ 
tury ago are still in use and in good condition. And

New York’s Great Pennsylvania Station. 
One of the greatest works of modern times was the 
construction of the concrete-lined steel tubes under the 
Hudson and East Rivers, the tunneling of Manhattan 
Island, and the erection of the magnificent Penn¬ 
sylvania Station at Seventh avenue and Thirty-second 
street, New York, bringing the through trains of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad into the heart of New York city. 
An illustrated booklet describing this great work and 
telling what it means to the New York passenger, has 
been issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and will be 
sent postpaid to any address by George W. Boyd, Gen¬ 
eral Passenger Agent, Broad Street station, Philadelphia, 
Pa., on receipt of a two-cent stamp. Send for it. 
A PLANK. 
Continued from page 37S. 
rate means. The day of wild game as an eco¬ 
nomic factor in the food supply of the country 
has gone by. In these four hundred years we 
have so reduced the game and so improved and 
developed the other resources of the country 
that we can now supply food with the plow and 
reaper and the cattle ranges cheaper than it can 
be furnished with the rifle and the shotgun. In 
short, as a civilized people we are no longer in 
any degree dependent for our sustenance upon 
the resources and the methods of primitive man. 
No plea of necessity, of economy, of value as 
food, demands the marketing of game. If every 
market stall were to be swept of its game to¬ 
day, there would be no appreciable effect upon 
the food supply of the country. 
Well, then, why not recognize this, and direct 
our efforts, in line with such a recognition, to¬ 
ward the utter abolition of the sale of game? 
Why should we not adopt as a plank in the 
sportsman’s platform a declaration to this end— 
That the sale of game should be forbidden at all 
seasons? To share and express the sentiment is 
one thing; to put it into execution is quite an¬ 
other. Perhaps the time is not ripe for such 
stringent measures. Yet this very rule of no 
game traffic holds in certain county laws in this 
State; and one of these days it will hold in 
every State, East and West, North and South. 
It may not be brought about in our day, but the 
present moment is none too soon to adopt the 
plank as a working principle and to work for it. 
That which stands in the way of the present 
prohibition of the sale of game in the larger 
cities is the magnitude of the commercial in¬ 
terests involved. The traffic is one of large pro¬ 
portions, much capital is invested, and the busi¬ 
ness not one which would readily be sacrificed. 
No one of these considerations, however, can 
withstand a campaign of education and the crea¬ 
tion of a public sentiment which will surely 
follow when that education shall have taught 
the community the true place of wild game in 
the economy of the civilization of the present. 
The Forest and Stream may be obtained from 
any newsdealer on order. Ask your dealer to 
supply you regularly.
