contain certain definite advantages in 
value received for price paid, that 
have made them leaders in their re- 
spective classes. 
The man who actually learns to 
shoot a rifle is he who gets plenty of 
practice. An occasional string of 
rapid fire at a stone or clod of dirt on 
a hill, an afternoon’s practice on 
chucks, crows, or other vermin, or a 
day or two at serious target shooting, 
each serve to keep a man in form. 
OOSE shooting is no longer legal 
anywhere in the United States. 
Large bear are practically confined to 
Alaska. Not one in a million of us go 
hunting in Africa. Our big game is 
deer, elk, coyotes, black bear, and the 
smaller stuff that used to be con- 
sidered small game. It pays to choose 
the cartridge accordingly.

this way the Indian brings his furs to 
the company store to pay up last year’s 
bill and to get credit for the coming 
year. 
Yes, maybe the company does give 
$500 worth of food and clothing for a 
$3,000 season’s furs, but that’s better 
than to let greedy free traders come in 
and give them $50 worth of useless 
trinkets for it and let them starve dur- 
ing the winter. There are few Indians 
whom the company has not held over a 
poor year. 
These Indians, as is their practice, 
had but the one big canoe for the entire 
crew and all their dunnage, then each 
had a single-bladed paddle. I have seen 
an Indian and his squaw with a family 
of seven children and their camp equip- 
ment traveling in one canoe. Every 
member down to the four-year-old had 
a paddle and used it. The outfit looks 
like a big centipede crawling down the 
lake. But they travel fast and steady. 
A® they passed, each gave the conven- 
tional greeting of the trail, a couple 
of “Ughs.” They stalked steadily down 
the trail, each footstep a slow and de- 
liberate stride, unhurried and _ sure. 
Upon the rare occasion when a foot 
slipped from the corduroy, a smooth, 
easy sinking to the knees took the place 
of a stumbling forward pitch. From 
the back each looked like a huge pack 
mounted on two short legs. Quickly
