EVOLUTION OF
TRAPSHOOTING|
Powder and Gun Play Most
Important Part in Life of
This Continent
(By "Trapshooter,' For National
Sports Syndicate.)

Sports SyndtCate.)
At a dinner given by a Pennsyl-
vania trapshooting club one of the
speakers traced the origin and
, growth of trapshooting to the en-
joyment of the assembled sportsmen.
In part he said:
From the beginning of the ANAL
gamation of races into the American
people, powder and the gun have
played a big part in life on this con-
tinent.
I'm the early period of our history
we have nation of rif1emen and
few indeed were the men and boys
who could not bring down maraud-
ing savage or draw unerring bead on
the head of a tree-top squirrel.
I'm our fights for national exist
ence, Bunker Hill and later New
Orleans, proved how true was the
aim of Americans. The lack of need
of defense of the home and nation,
and the multiplication of populous
centers, removed the necessity of op-
portunity for the continuance of the
general use of the rifle.
Reasons for Decline
Another factor in the decline of
velopment of high-powered arms
with excessive range. The lesser
range of the 'spatter or shotgun, the
greater certainty of the unskilled
marksman getting what he shot at
and the fact that the small shot did
not mutilate the game, led to the
general adoption of this firearm for
hunting.
But increase in population and
decrease in the quantity of game.
with the consequent enactment of
stringent game protective laws, es-
tablishing long closed seasons. and
limiting the amount of game that
hunter might kill, long since caused
the beginning of general disuse of
the shotgun.
yet, by no means had we lost
our love for powder burning. 1t is
present, even if latent, in every true
blooded Americans veins. The chill
dren's observance of an insane
Fourth of July proves how innate is
the desire.
Use of Gun
An outcome of the inclination
to use the gun. was the introduction
of live bird shooting-the killing
within certain limits of pigeons re-
leased from coops, located some dis
tance from the shooters. While this
sport had a considerable following,
it did not find favor with the great
mass of American sportsmen. Live
bird shooting is now prohibited by
law in nearly all States.
killing pigeons was superseded
by glass ball shooting and this in
turn, by clay-pigeon shooting. At this
point the sport came near dying in
embryo, due to the uncertainty of
breaking targets of varying degrees
of hardness and the trouble caused
by the unsatisfactory traps then in
use.
Fortunately, inventive genius
came to the rescue and perfected
traps positive in action and with the
ability to throw the bird at un-
known angles, thereby closely ap-
proximating the condition under
which field shooting is done. The
targets are made of river silt and
tar, pressed into shape by hydraulic
pressure, thus insuring uniform pat
tern and breaking strength"

The Ice
Situation

The small advance in the price of
ice averaging less than Sc daily for
each customer, was absolutely made
necessary by the extraordinary cost of
everything used in doing an ice busi-
ness.
Within the last twelve months coal to
manufacture ice has advanced 100 to / so per
cent; oils, etc., advanced so per cent; pack
ings advanced from 20 to Is per cent; waste
IS to 100 per cent; mules and horses 20 to
80 per cent; wagons etc., 40 per cent;
wagon repair material from 90 to $50 per
cent; harness so to 100 per cent; horse feed
from 40 to 110 per cent; horse shoes so per
cent; labor 20 to rs per cent, etc., etc.
Not one single item of expense but that
has increased in price.
Notwithstanding this heavy burden of increased
costs for operation Of plant and delivery expenses
we have added but small additional cost to the ice
consumer. Only sufficient to enable us to remain
in business until conditions again become normal
Taking everything into consideration YOU must
admit that increase in the price of ice averaging
about Sc daily to each family, is not an exorbitant
advance. The question is such small differ
be maintained in view of the fact that expenses
are continually advancing?
Only through the cooperation of our customers
can we hope to maintain the present rates We
request in all seriousness that wagons be detained
as little as possible while making deliveries A
minute saved here and there will in the aggregate
greatly reduce the time for such service.

near Roscoe, s, D., ~derailing n en-.
CINE and nine cars. the observation car
being the only n to hold the track
Fifteen were injured. but none are
considered serious. The train consist
cd OF all steel coaches, and It is claim
ed to account for the lack Of casual
ties. Another, the Milwaukee train
was ditched at Westport, north OF
Aberdeen, without loss of life or SER
i0ue injury. The extreme cold was
held as the cause Of the wreck OF the
Olympian, a rail breaking after the
FIRST engine had passed over 1t. The
other wreck was caused by bucking
snow drifts.
Several others were reported, one
near Redfeld and at Henry. with
no serious results. At Creston, Iowa,
q more serious wreck occurred. when a
Burlington train hit a broken rail.
Five persons were killed and fifty or
more seriously injured. A northwes-

was out bucking drifts, left the track,
killing the fireman and perhaps fat
