'Deer Shoot' Gets
Heavy Play From
Hopeful Hunters
The running deer shoot con-
ducted by the Shelton llifle and
Pistol Club last Sunday drew a
large and enthusiastic crowd of
hunters and spectators. After
sighting in their rifles on the sta-
tionary targets shooters were gt/v-
en 'an opportunity to try tTmir
skill at hitting the moving deer
target. Shooting from 100 yards
the deer proved quite elusive to
many hunters---perhaps it was
just "buck fever." However, oth-
ers fired with an accuracy that
would have stopped any live deer
in its tracks.
Hunters using lever action ri-
fles were able to get in several
mor@ shots at the deer than most
bolt action shooters, but not al-
ways with better accuracy.
The deer was marked off into
various scoring areas with the
vital zones counting up to ten
points.. Top shooting for bolt ac-
tion rifles was turned in by Bob
Marshall with three top scoring
tens for a 30 point total.
Best lever action shooting was
made by Don Lund who turned
in a 10-10-10-3-0 string for a 33
point total. Other fine shooting
was done by John Yingst, Her-
man Heinold, Tony Nelson, Bill
Sallee and Bud LaPlant who made
20 points i;3 two shots.
The ladies turned in some fine
shooting--shoing up a lot of the
men present. Jean LaPlant fired
a 10-0 string and Easter Lurid
turned in a 3-0 string.
Of a total possible score among
all shooters of 2670 points the ac-
tual hits scored 711 points. This
made an average score for the
109 entries of 6& points, which
makes it sound as though there
will be plenty of venison on the
Mason county tables come hunt-
lng season.
Observations at the sighting-in
area after close of the shooting
disclose d that two hunters using a
.303 SaVage and a Winchester:
.25-35 have unsafe rifles. Shells
of these calibers were found which
show excessive head space. It is
felt necessary to warn all hunters
to have a complete check on their
rifles before using them during
hunting season,
With the favorable reception
that this running deer shoot re-
Celled it is hoped that the Shel-
ton Rifle and Pistol Club can put
on a more elaborate and even l
more interesting shoot next year. i

Dear Editor:
It would seem that we who live
on Hood Canal between Belfair
and Union are the "forgotten men
and women" so faT' as bus :ervice
is concerned between Bremcrton
and Sheltoh. Under the schedule
which went into effect on Septem-
ber 6, 1949, th is the service we
now get:
If we want to go to Shelton to
shop, or for anly other purpose, on
week days we can get a bus from
Belfair at 2:55 p.m. but can't get
back by bus until the following Day
at 11:30 a.m. On Friday omy we
could get a return bus at 5:45 pro.
On Saturdays, Sundays and loli-
days we could get a rcturn bus at
8:b5 p.m.
Now, if we want to go to Brain-
erich, we can get a bus from Bcl-
fair at 12:20 p.m. and a return bus
from Bremerton at 2:30 p.m., al-
lowing 1 hour and 45 minutc, lor
any shopping or errands we Jtty
have to do, as the bus arrive, in
Bremcrton at 12:15 p.m. On Fr-
days, Saturdays, Sundays and hol-
idays, there is a bus trom lrcm-
crton at 6:00 p.m.
It should bc of interest to the
business men of both Shelton and
Bremerton that vccy little shop-
ping can be done in either city if
the prospective shopper has to de-
pend on the bus to get to town.
This letter is written from the
standpoint of residents along the
North Shore of Hood CanaH no
doubt the Brcmerton - Tacoma
Stages, Inc., have their reasons for
curtailing their service to the
above cxtcnt.
Possibly there is not enough btls-
iness to warrant better servicc,
but other runs might have suffi-
cient passenger traffic to make up
for the lack of sufficient passeng-
ers on this part of the route. What-
ever the reason, let us hope a re-
vised schedule wtU soon be put
into effect. I
Yours very truly,
Mrs. G. G. ShacleorJ.

On Canadian Hunt
One hundred years ago tias
August the U. S. Patent Oftzce
issued a patent which helped
change the course of history in al-
most every land on earth. It was
Waiter Hunt's patent No. 6663
for the "Volition Repeater" and
was the first appearance of what
became the lever-action repeating
rifle.
That few persons associate
Hunt with the lever-action rifle
is understandable. His idea be-
came practical only after it was
refined and suitable fixed ammun-
ition was invented.
TODAY, looking back over the
hundred-year pedigree of the rifle
that's operated by a lever, this
gun holds its own with the more
recent bolt and slide-action rifles.
its influence on history was im-
mense, according to arms expert
Bill Depperman. Those who claim
the Model 73 lever-action was "the
rifle that won the West" are quite
right.
However, Hunt had bitten off
more than he could chew. His con-
ical bullets which he called "rock-
et bails" were reluctant tO per-
form according to the direetions
that Mr. Hunt wrote on the label.
And lacking a proper eartrfdge,
no lever-action could have work-
ed properly.
FROM HUNT patents for the
lever-action moved through sev-
eral phases until the repeater was
acquh'ed by a Connecticut shirt
I manufacturer named Winchester.
He fought a lossing battle to have
the rifle perfected. With all the
Company Lands To
Open For Entry
Simpson Logging Company
lands in Mason and Grays Harbor
counties will be reopened to entry
this Saturday except in areas im-
mediate to logging operations,
company officials announced this
week.
THE STATE FORESTER has
been asked to lift closures on
Simpson lands because the danger
of fires in this area has been less-
ened by weather conditions, it was
explained. The fire season clos-
ures were placed in effect last
July.
Oscar Levin, managing forester
of the South Olympic Tree Farm,
which includes A large amount of
Simpson lands, urged sportsmen
to continue fire precautions while
hunting this season.
"A FEW DAYS of drying winds
could bring back fh'e conditions
which have been so dangerous this
sununer and early fall," Levtn
explained. "Sportsmen can help
local, state and federal laresters
by being careful with their smok-
ing and camp fires. We have had
wonderful cooperation from sports-
men in past years and I'm confi-
dent this will continue through the
1949 hunting season."
