In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
volvers. Laws are common providing 
penalties against carrying them with- 
out a more or less difficultly obtained 
license. These laws work in their logi- 
cal way—no defense is permitted the 
law-abiding citizen. In full knowledge 
of this the lawless go armed. And as 
they are prepared for pursuing their 
trade they can pack a sawed-off shot- 
gun or a slung shot as easily as a re- 
volver, in the smallest automobile. What 
is simpler than holding up a Pullman 
or a cabaret when the law assures you 
that all the occupants are unarmed? 
And why should a bandit worry that 
he will be punished for having a re- 
volver on his person when he intends 
to place himself liable for a real crime. 
There is no question that the police 
are an efficient protection for sober- 
minded townspeople, but the simple 
formula of crime requires only a place 
where people are and the police are not. 
Possibly some folk would feel that a re- 
volver increases the mortality of pri- 
vate quarrels. Is the answer to that 
to take away the revolver and leave a 
knife? There is a fresh stabbing in 
to-day’s paper as I write. No. The 
way to stop murder in hot blood is to 
punish murder in hot blood. The choice 
of weapon is incidental. 
There are then these fallacies—that 
lawless men are,.to be controlled by 
new laws—that men starting out to 
commit a crime are to be retarded by 
limiting them to other weapons fully 
as efficient from their standpoint—that 
official protection can be made omni- 
present—that crimes of violence de- 
pend upon the choice of weapon. 
And there are these points to be borne 
in mind in favor of the revolver as a 
universal arm—it is small enough not 
to interfere with one’s ordinary busi- 
ness, it does not advertise to the ma- 
rauder who is armed and who is un- 
armed, it is a weapon of short range, 
it can be put away loaded out of the 
way of children, it demands respect 
even in the hands of a woman. 
With Saddle and Pack Train 
in the Rockies 
(Continued from page 336) 
mountain was an ideal place. During 
later years, however, due partly to too 
much grazing in certain areas by sheep, 
the drift of the elk had been changed 
somewhat. Now the elk do not come 
there until later in the year and they 
are not so plentiful as they are a little 
farther to the south and east. 
OWEVER, we saw several fine old 
bulls on this trip and also a few 
deer. We made camp in a patch of 
pinion pine near a little spring on 
the broad flat top of Shedhorn Moun- 
tain, just where it ran its shoulder 
against the nearest of the Taylor Peaks, 
which all rise above timber line. After 
lunch we split up. Some of the boys 
stayed around camp, some went to look 
for signs of some horses we were look- 
ing for, and which we thought were 
ranging somewhere around Shedhorn 
Mountain, and several of us took our 
glasses and cameras and started to 
climb the nearest peak. 
After an hour of hard climbing we 
were on the top of the world and could 
see ranges of mountains that were over 
a hundred miles away. The Absarokas 
could be plainly seen to the east; Elec- 
tric Peak in Yellowstone Park seemed 
almost close enough to shake hands, 
and the Old Tetons, south of the Park, 
loomed up above those rather level 
timber covered plateaus of the Yellow- 
stone Park country. 
We took a number of photographs 
and used our glasses in an endeavor to 
locate some mountain sheep, but we 
were unable to see any on this day, al- 
though the following day we located a 
number of them. 
HEN we got back to camp, our 
cook had a wonderful meal pre- 
pared for us and then we were ready 
to turn in. One of the boys, who was 
new at the game, had tried to make 
us some pine bough beds, but he only 
succeeded in making a first class tor- 
ture rack. We had a good laugh over 
it, and after taking the cord wood pile 
out from under our blankets, we had 
a good sleep. This same chap lived in 
deadly fear of meeting a bear, and as 
a matter of fact he was the only mem- © 
ber of the party who had the pleasure. 
He came around one side of a clump of 
trees and the bear came around the 
other, and I do not think that either of 
them have recovered from the shock 
yet. We spent the next week in build- 
ing a corral at one end of Shedhorn 
Mountain in among the trees, where it 
could not be seen, then we built some 
long wings on each side of it, and after 
several hours of hard riding, one morn- 
ing, we succeeded in corraling several 
of the wild horses we were after. As 
our trip had lasted longer than we had 
expected, and our food was getting low, 
we decided to head for the ranch. I 
also knew that two of the boys were 
itching for a chance to top off some of 
the wild ones that we had caught and 
were only waiting to get to a good 
breaking corral where they could have : 
a fair chance, so we packed up and 
pulled out for home. 
An automobile rides easy and a Pull- — 
man is very comfortable, but neither of 
them can give you the thrill that you 
will experience if you take a pack horse © 
trip anywhere in the Rocky Mountain 
section. 
It will identify you.
