H. c. B.-Will you kindly advise by
return mail If there is any method by
which the receiver of 1912 model
pump gun may be reblued, as there
caused by dampness; or will it be
necessary for me to send same to the
factory to have this work done?
Answer-There are methods, but
none of them is really satisfactory.
and ! would certainly recommend hav-
which made the gun. The charges are
moderate and the receiver will come
back to you looking like a new one.
A. ]. H.-Can you give me the ad-
dress of the company that makes the
four-barrel pistol, If there is such a
thing made? The one l have in mind
is made on the order of the double
barrel Derringer, only with four bar
rels.
Answer-There is no such thing made
at present. so far as I know.
J. L. 81 just bought new rife,
90 caliber, and find II a strong. ,accu-
rate shooter, but I'm not quite salts
fed with the regular sights. What
front and rear sights do you think
would be the best combination for tar
get and snap shooting for the gun?
Answer-I would suggest an ivory or
gold bead front sight or a combina-
tion globe and ivory front sight with
rear peep sight. which on this model
rifle fastens on by screws which take
the place of the dummy screws in the
part of the trigger plate which is just
back of the REAR end of the receiver.
The regular sights as fitted to the
rife are very good for snap shooting,
but with these special sights a fold
ing leaf sight would be advisable.
What cartridge would you recon-
mend for target work up to 500 yards
that could be reloaded and yet not too
expensve-one which would give good
results?
Answer-There are SO many that it
would not be possible to enumerate
them all. I do not think you will get
good target results with any reloaded
cartridge at a distance as great as
500 yards. OF course a model 1906 gov
ernment Springfield cartridge would
be satisfactory.
How would the 44-40 cartridge COM
pare with higher power small bore
cartridges for accuracy and power for
use in settled districts, and at what
range is this cartridge accurate? On
what size game would 1t be effective
Answer-The 44-40 is an almost OBJ
solete type of cartridge. 1t was ex-
tremely popular in it's day and it is
still with those who became used to it

a Foolish Move.

Can you imagine anything more
foolish than for a manager or an owner
to break up or change team that
has just won worlds championship?
/ can't.
ANY team that was good enough to
take the measure of the Tigers and the
White Sox, not to mention the Phila-
delpha Nationals. is good enough to go
right back there and repeat. barring
accidents. The most ridiculous move
that a manager could make would be
to shake up an outfit that had just
won the big title.
There have been teams like the Chi
cago Cubs, the Giants and maybe one
or two other clubs. that slipped badly

Lower California.

Lower California is one of the least
known and most thinly settled regions
on the American continent. 1t stretches
its TOO miles of barren. mountainous
length between the Pacific ocean, on
one side. and the California gulf on the
other, cut off from the world and Offer
| ing few inducements to exploration or
immigration.
| The peninsula affords rich field to
| the ambitious mountain climber, and
now, that the scaling Of rocky heights
has taken rank as a leading outdoor
| sport, Americans may get to know
more Of the ranges that begin only a
few miles south of San Diego and run
all the way to San Jose del Cabo,
| where Lower California ends in the
Pacific.
In many places it is only thirty five
| miles across the mainland from the
gulf to the ocean. and yet the great
cliffs tower higher and higher until
| they reach a crest line of 5000 feet at
all but the lowest passes. Here and
there they shoot uD into peaks that
| vailing scenery is rugged and majes-
| tic, but depressingiy arid. There are
very few trees and little greenery
mesa. cliff and peak are all a lifeless
gray.
| The people of Lower California are
almost entirely Mexicans Life outside
the few small towns is primitive in the
extreme IheTe are only 3V.ooO human
beings in the entire peninsula. most of
whom live in the coast villages. The
| mountain "hinterland" has Il popula- :
tion OF 5000 scattered over $4,000, 900
acres of territory.
| The thin soil of the region Is rich
enough to support almost any vegeta :
tion. but capricious rainfall renders the
life of a plant uncertain. There may
be several seasons OF rain. when grass
and flowers thrive. only to die in a
series OF droughts when no rain falls
for months on end
| Like all primitive and isolated peo-
Piles, the natives have a rich fund of
tradition. One of the most peculiar OF
their fabulous historical tales relates
that Oliver Cromwell ravaged the east
coast of their territory as buccaneer
in the seventeenth century. So firmly
esta tablished is this belief that a periodic
and destructive local hurricane takes
its name from Cromwell.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEWISTON. Me, December 13.-Win-
! ter league dopesters already seem tc
have started in making trades and is
suing releases, selling gold bricks and
picking possible pennant winners. but
down in this neck of the woods Man
ager Bill Carrigan. head of the world
| champion Red sox. and one of the
few big league directors who managed
to get entirely out of the limelight
after the stirring strife of October. is
keeping his own counsel in the old
time Bill Carrigan way. and letting
other people do the talking for him.
Sphinx of League.
Carrigan is the sphinx of the Amer
ican League, as many ambitious inter-
viewers have found out to their sor-
row. Bill goes upon the principle that
"the least said the soonest mended,
and rarely since entering the profess
sional harness has the Lewiston star
made any statement which he was
obliged afterward to retract.
Bill was striking figure in a
riot in the Detroit ball park not so
very many seasons ago, when those
mild and gentlemanIy Detroit fans rose
in their wrath against the Boston
| team. and in days of old he kept his
former owner, John l. Taylor. on the
anxious seat several times when it
came time to sign new contract. But
through his ten years of service he
has kept his own counsel as a gen.
efal rule. Like the eminent p. D.
Haughton, Manager Bill evidently feels
that silence is golden"
Just returned from his outing at the
camp on Lake Annabessacook the
other day. some clippings from a Bos-
ton paper were brought to his at
tention. In these clippings were sew
eral paragraphs affecting the status OF
the Red Sox team. such as the trading
of Gardner, Wood and Collins. the
threatened desertion of Speaker and
the purchase of Ray Chapman from
the Cleveland Indians. Loath to dis
cuss these, Bill was finally moved to
anger when he saw the proposed
changes that some of the winter league
scribes were making in his team.
"Anybody would think" grunted Bill
after he saw where a few of his Red
Sox champions were scheduled to go,
that l had nothing to say In the mat
ter at all, and that the Boston team
would be completely made over by the
time get back to the Hub. It's funny
what queer ideas some writers seem
to collect.

TRAVELETTE
By NIKsAH.
Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh is a great city. This OBJ.
servation is not original. and may
seem superhuous. but it is by way
OF preparation for what follows.
Pittsburgh has funny streets. They
dodge around corners and collide
with each other at acute and unexpect-
ed angles. They soar aloft over rail-
road tracks, dive into queer tunnels
and waver on their way like a home
bound reveler.
The original plan of downtown Pitts
burgh grew out of an incident of pio-
neer days. stray dog chased rab-
bit all over the neighborhood one
morning after a light snow, and they
used the tracks Of the cottontail as a
municipal plan.
and tries to find a downtown address
can refrain from these hard words
about the streets. But having criti-
cised the streets, the pcculiarities of
which are matter OF record. there
Is nothing left but praise.
Pittsburgh is fine place to live.
1t is great place to get rich. This
conclusion Is reached from observa-
ton of the great number of rich peo-
pie that Pittsburgh seems to nave
Is no mere traditional figure. Just go
to the better class hotels and watch
the crowds; note the closed limousines
American hallmark of opulence-on
the streets. Pittsburgh's Million
aires are no bluff. She's got 'em. II
gives one a plutocratic feeling merely
to stay there few days.
Then, too, Pittsburgh is not half as
dirty as popular conception would have
1t. The untraveled reader of jokes
must conceive Of the Pittsburgher as
perpetually covered with coating of
SCOT. AS matter of fact the only
difference between Pittsburgh and any
other place in this respect Is that
the life of collar is several hours
shorter here.
Now that the Pictsburghers are going
to make chemicals out of all the SCOT
and cinders. their town will be good
deal cleaner-also q good deal
wealthier.
