TREASURY FOR ROADS
SEATTLE, Sept. 4.—Senator Jones
on his arrival here from an extended

farm project, the profits to go into
the Territorial treasury; that Alaska
coal be used on government ships in
Alaskan waters; that the governme^

test oil wells; that the mining claim
laws which require that $100 worth of
assessment work each year be done,
should be amended to permit the ex

building roads and trails.

THERE’S speed in a Savage lever
action—in the short throw of the
lever—in the powerful action that
always functions.
There’s speed, too, in the bolt-action
—that smooth-working, easy-throwing
bolt-handle. And deadly accuracy. Lever
or bolt-action, a Savage shoots true.
And into the Savage magazine you
can cram your soft points without
denting a nose. For the Savage rotary
magazine supports the cartridge at the
base—no battering from recoil.
There's a Savage for every kind
of American game
.22 Hi-power. Ideal for small and medi
um game—from woodchucks to wolves.
Accurate at long and uncertain ranges.
.30-30. A standard and ever-depend
able for deer and similar game at
moderate ranges.
.303. The hard-hitting old .303—
famous for 20 years. Ideal for deer;
caribou and black bear. Unsurpassed
for timbered country.
.250-3000. An all-around rifle. Ter
rific speed and low trajectory make it
the gun for mountain sheep, goats and
deer at extreme ranges.
.300. Delivers a smashing blow.
enough for the biggest game. Splendid
for moose and elk.
And the Savage .22s—the Sporter—
the new bolt-action repeating .22—and
the slide-action. Model ’14—every fea
ture originally and distinctively Savage
—sturdy and accurate. Ask at your
dealer's or write direct for our inter
