CARELESSNESS IS COSTLY
The untrained hunter, unfa
miliar with the dangers of hunting,
is a menace to all forms of life
while he is out. He does his think
ing after he has used the gun. He
never stops to consider that others
are hunting, tnat some care must
be observed in shooting, that lives
may be placed in jeopardy or sa
crificed. He bangs away with all
the unwisdom at his command.
Guns are made to kill, and no one
should be permitted to run at large
with a gun unless he has been tho
roughly trained in the safety he
should observe. In frontier days
men trained their boys in the use
of the gun, taught them how to
shoot straight, gave them all the
important lessons of care and thot.
Then guns were in use nearly every
uav. Boys became expert in their
use and were made acquainted with
their dangers. It cost a hunter his
reputation in the community if he
was guilty of carelessness or harm
ed a fellow-hunter. Life was not
more valuable then than now but
hunters were better prepared.
In these times, when only a few
days of hunting are permitted each
year, there is little opportunity for
e boy to become aware of the seri
ous part in the field. The result is
the slaughter of men and boys each
year, a needless sacrifice to ignor
ance and carelessness, many times
utter stupidity. The man who does
not understand how to use a gun
properly, has no business in the big
outdoors with one.—Ex.
The tug Akutan arrived in port
this afternoon from searching for
the halibut boats Brunvold and Im
perial, missing since the storms of
early November. They report a I
I
rough trip with no signs of missing i
boats. Reports from Yakutat is
that boat wreckage was seen found.
