Mondays Big Shoot.

Indications are that the big trap
shooting tournament to be held in
this city next Monday, will be
largely attended by visiting shoot
ers from different portions OF the
county. Philomath, Dusty, Noun
tain View, Fairmount and Long
Tom will each be represented by
their crack shots and our local
shooters are going to have their
hands full to carry off anything
like an equal share of the prizes.
The local gun club is making all
possible arrangements for the con-
venience of the participants. A
comfortable shooting stand has been
erected in which will be a warm
fire all day and hot coffee will be
seryed free. Owing to the length
of the program five expert traps
will be used instead of three, as ad-
vertised. Several prizes have been
donated since the publication of the
program, which will make the total
value of prizes offered about $135 in
addition to the purses in each event
which will make from $50 to $75
more. The program will begin
at $50 a. m. and the grounds will
be open to practice about $50.
