i Baaed uud ulroady responses are com
ing in to J. ID. Enyart, the -ckainuaiv

present at the tournament. Inci
dentally they compliment Mr. Eu
yart upon the unique arrangement o
the pamphlet which advertises the
tournament which pamphlet was
printed at thie office and the book is
worthy of oommendation. The .'Man
Behind the Gun, 1 where 1 'The

of the sotting which the facile penoil
of Voluey Dixon has given it with his
timely illustrations The legends and
illustrations beneath each advertising
page will cause the reader to look ovov
the whole book before he lays it
down. The man who delights in
unravoliug mysteries will And "his"
in deciphering what some of thorn
mean. The solution of the whole
thing 1b this, however: You who are
followers of the sport of trap shoot
ing, who delight in the crack of the
shot gun aud to see the Boaring "blue
rock" disintegrated in midair, will
find excellent sport hore. You will
find an hospitable people, bent upon
giving the "stranger within tho
gates' a good time, and withal you
will be able to reach as flno fishing
and hunting ground within a two
days' drive as you can find on tho
northwest coast. You will find a real
western welcome in Medford.
