A TRIAL BY JURY! 
At the Portland (Oregon) Exposition, 1905, The Peters Cartridge Company made an exhibit of its goods, 
including Empty and Loaded Paper Shells, Metallic Cartridges for Rifle, Revolver and Pistol, Gun Wads, 
etc. The Jurymen who judged the exhibit were experts and acknowledged to be thoroughly competent to 
pass upon the merits of ammunition and firearms. They granted to the Peters Cartridge Company a 
GOLD MEDAL——HIGHEST AWARD 
This decision was reached after a canvass of past records made with Peters Ammunition; a minute examin- 
ation and an exhaustive test of the goods themselves. Coming thus near the close of a year marked by 
grand achievements, the Portland award furnishes new and convincing proof of the superior shooting 
qualities and unsurpassed finish of XZ XZ XZ \g \g \g m4 \g \g

eight men are dead, but Hamilton still lives in 
Montana and still sets his traps. He has written 
the story of his early trapping days, and the book 
has just been published. “My Sixty Years on the 
Plains” tells of trapping, trading, Indian Plaine’ telle of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, "telling of carly travel an the) Wests (poche yy te ee

hunting, and all the many and varied incidents of 
the trapper’s life. It is full of adventure and ex- 
citement, but the story is told modestly, and 
there is nothing in it that is lurid. Amid much 
fighting, there is nothing that can be called 
“blood and thunder,’ but there is much that is 
history. 
The book has all the charm of the old volumes 
telling of early travel in the West; books which
