Pete decided to return to camp to 
bring down some lunch, while I re- 
mained on the field to conduct the one- 
sided campaign. 
MADE another cast, and still an- 
other, and then after resting the pool 
for fifteen minutes I was at it again; 
running the whole gamut of my small 
fly-book without a rise. 
I had just combined a Jock Scott 
with a brown hackle and was beginning 
to wonder whether Pete had eaten up 
all of the grub, when Sammy Tomah, 
who had just completed the conquest of 
some refractory logs, came running 
nimbly out along the stringer to my 
pier, and clambering up beside me he 
sat gravely regarding my manoeuvres 
with typical Indian stolidity. 
“Hello, Sammy! They all appear to 
have lost their meal ticket this morning, 
don’t they?” 
 Sammy’s countenance underwent a 
fleeting glimmer of sunshine and then 
subsided into its wonted expression of 
stolid gloom. 
“Huh!” he vouchsafed. 
I tendered him my cigarette case and 
he grew communicative. 
“Better let ’em rest!” said he. 
“© Fraid! Try ’em bimeby!” 
He asked me if I had a snelled hook 
and I searched through my fly-book 
wondering what under the sun he could 
want of one. My search brought to 
light a number five snelled hook. 
“We'll make ’em come now!” said he, 
producing a much soiled and dilapidated 
envelope from the recesses of his shirt. 
He peered into the envelope and with- 
| drew a bunch of downy feathers, select- 
ing one that suited him. 

“THIS,” said Sammy, “will make ’em 
crazy! Guess mine is the only hen 
around that’s got any left! They come 
from under her wing. Each hen has 
only a few and they must be white like 
this!” and Sammy lighted his cigarette. 
I watched him as he laid the feather 
alongside the shank of the hook, allow- 
ing a fluffy wisp tc trail off aft. He 
then tied it in two places with some 
black silk thread that he fished out of 
his pocket, and after critically survey- 
ing it as an artist might the result of 
some happy touches of his brush, the 
completed masterpiece was duly pre- 
sented to me. 
My first cast miscarried and landed a 
little too far upstream, and as I drew 
the cast in toward me Sammy touched 
me on the arm. 
“Make it go more lively!” said he. 
I handed the outfit to him and then, 
with a motion somewhat like shaking 
hands, he caused the lure (I can scarce- 
| ly call it a fly) to progress through the 
water with little fish-like darts.

NE of our customers wrote us that he \ 
killed a moose at 205 measured yards & 
down-hill, with his .300 Magnum. Hit- 
ting the moose high in the left shoulder, the ¢ 
bullet passed through the body, making a 
3-inch hole where it emerged. The animal 
dropped in its tracks, and was dead before the 
hunter could get to it. 
The tremendous shocking power of the 220 gr. 
bullet at 2532 f. s. positively kills moose or 
grizzly. No lost trophies—no wounded ani- 
mals escaping and dying a slow death. Yet. 
in the same rifle, the 120 gr. bullet at 3600 f. s. 
gives you the necessary speed and shock for 
bagging smaller game. This .300 Magnum 
handles -all .30 caliber bullets with the ac- 
curacy of a match barrel. It is the ideal all 
‘round rifle.

ANNOUNCING OUR REMOVAL 
TO ARDMORE, OKLAHOMA 
AFTER July we will be located at Ardmore, Okla- 
homa, where our new factory has just been com- 
pleted. This gives us a building especially laid out for 
the kind of work we are doing, besides furnishing the 
additional space that was badly needed for our grow- 
ing organization and additional equipment. Another 
advantage will be a testing range close to the factory, 
insuring a great saving of time over our range in the 
Cuyahoga Valley where many hours were lost in trips 
for testing, and re-testing Hoffman Arms. We cor- 
dially invite you to visit us at Ardmore.
