G apt. Geo. E. Bartlett, former

western Indian tribes as “ W ound­

guest of II. II. V eatch of Cottage

with the rifle and shot gun at the

about the country dem onstrating
the superior qualities of this b ran d
of am m unition, his dem onstrations
in the various tow ns and cities
never failing in draw ing great
crowds, especially sportsmen and
all lovers of the rifle or shotgun.
It is due to Capt. B artlett’s
nerve, coolness, unerring aim and
skill in the use of firearms th a t lie
has escaped all the perils w hich
for years surrounded him. Shoot­
ing at short range, moving or
stationery objects, sm all or large,
whether a (lenny or a block of
steel it seemed to m ake no differ­
ence to C apt. Bartlett, th e bullets
from his rifle pierced every object
fired at. H e hit everything aim ed
at just at the rtg h t tim e an d in the
right place. H e does not ap ­
pear to tak e aim at anything, in
his rapid shooting, he sim ply fires
and hits, an d before the spectators
realize th a t he has shattered the
object, he h as hit one or two more
moving objects. A sm all tin can
filled with w ater and tossed in the
air disappeared a m om ent in a
liquid spray at the crack of his
rifle an d w hile the shattered can
was falliug he riddled it with
bullets. He shoots spots out of
playing cards at a distance of 25
yaids. T he power of Remington
autom atic rifles were dem onstrated
by bullets from them penetrating
boiler steel plates and the c a p ta in ’s
splendid work shooting by use of
a mirror w hich reflected the sights
of his gun, held up side-down,
was a revelation to liis spectators.
A potato wrapped in red, w hite
and blue tissue paper was throw n
in the air, an d a .10-40 high-pow er
cartridge used. T h e potato was
com pletely evaporated and the
paper reduced to a nice handful of
confetti th a t floated off in the
wind. W ith a 42-20 sem i-sm oke­
less cartridge, using a Stevens
Ideal rifle, lie did some pretty work
in reflection shooting.
Little bits of brick, as sm all as

throw n into the air, and th e u n ­
erring m arksm an hit every one of
them and seut them singing into
space.
T o show the cleanliness of the
l’eters semi sm okeless cartridge,
the captain fired two hundred shots
from a 22-calibre rifle w ithout
clea n in g or stopping only long
enough to fill the m agazine and
when the two hundred shots had
been fired the gun was as clean as

T h e Bales Brothers’ apple or­
ch ard , located about nine miles
east of C ottage Grove, is a source
of pride to its owners. T hese two
young men began with practically
noth in g in 1894, wlieu they clear­
ed the lau d an d set out 120 trees.
Since then they have gradually
increased their orchard until they
have 14 acres of fine healthy apple
trees, consisting of the Jo u ath au ,
Baldwin, M ammoth Black Tw ig,
G reening an d K ing varities.
F our years ago they sold 500
boxes of apples from four acres,
an d two years ago they m arketed
1400 boxes from the same trees with
a net profit of $XIX). Last year by
m istake, they killed most of their
fruit crop with a to strong solution
of lim e spray, but while it was a
fiuacial loss their trees are in a fine
healthy condition th is year as a
a result. T hey h av e 2% acres set
betweeu the rows w ith straw berries,

picked ripe berries of excellent
flavor last m onth.
