FOREIGN GAME BIRDS.
Chinese and Arizona Quail Breeding in
This Vicinity.

Chinese and Arizona Quail Breeding in
This Vicinity.
Last spring the State Fish and Game
Wsrdens distributed several thousand
Chinese quail among different parts of the
State. Some were put out on the Rancho
del Paso, where they promptly commenced
breeding. Several coveys OF the little ones
were seen this summer, and there is reason
to hope that the birds will in few years
be sufficiently numerous to afford plenty Of
shooting for sportsmen.
These Chinese quail greatly resemble the
common lark in size and plumage, except
they have no yellow. They lie like stones
in the grass, and will no doubt prove to be
Just the bird to afford good work for
stanch- pointing dogs. They should be
put out by the thousands the coming
spring, and all clubs of sportsmen should
lend their aid in the matter. They can be
contracted for in San Francisco's China
town for about 81 per dozen At least 1000
dozen of these quail should be procured, if
possible.
Three years ago several dozen Arizona
quail were turned loose on the Rancho
del Paso and they, too, have bred. One
large brood was seen the other day by an
employe of the ranch. These birds
strongly resemble the native valley quail,
but are lighter in color, their plumage
having more of the sagebrush tint than
that of the California quail, which is OF
dusky blue
The habits of the Arizona birds have not
been closely observed, but those of the
Chinese birds have. A gentleman of this
city had several of the latter in cage,
but turned them loose. One hid in the
grass in his yard, and lay so close before
dog that il was caught by hand. If our
valleys were well supplied with these Chi
nese quail sport with dog and gun
would have boom.
One fact should be borne in mind-that
these imported birds and their progeny
cannot legally be shot for five years to
come

BRIEF NOTES.

By the time the legal holidays are ended
the Police Court calendar will be of full
grown dimensions.
James Bennett, q lodger at the City Ho-
tel, claims to have been relieved of his
watch and some money on Sunday night.
Several wheel, dice and other games were
running last night, and the tiger had all
the windows of his lair brilliantly lighted.
Last evening Chief of Police Drew re-
ceived all the special police Officers gave
them their respective numbers and as
signed them to duty.
Mrs. Frank Durrer, whom Mrs. Jones
has charged with deadly assault, now
brings complaint against Mrs. Jones for
disturbing the peace. 1t is now war to the
knife.
Among the various breeds of scoundrels
in the city is the one noted for its swindles
by means of the change racket" Citizens
should not be too obliging in making
change for strangers.
Judging from the familiar faces of the
gang seen around the downtown dives, it
would seem that San Francisco has not
sent many copvicts to the State Prisons
since last years State Fair.

Outside the Park and Pavilion. there will
be many attractions. Some will bear the
closest scrutiny, while others will be con-
sidered meritorious, and in every manner
pleasant adjunct to successful exhlbl-
tiop. Lack of time in the necessary prep
arations and want of space to further the
contemplated display, rendered it abso-
lutely impossible for Scott & Gilbert to ex-
hibit in anv way. outside their spacious
quarters, and particular attention is given
in this issue to the Stoekmen's Liniment,
of which they are sole proprietors. The
beneficial results of this liniment in cases
of rheumatism. neuralgia, spraiDs or
bruises, is so speedy and certain, and our
confidence in ii so unlimited, that we take
this method of introducing it to the public,
knowing that once used it will always be
relied upon as the one and only preparation
to be used where q linimsnt is required.
The powerful and penetrating properties OF
Stookmen's Liniment is proven by the
small quantity necessary to afford relief.
Only use little, applied to the affected
part, and rub it until it disappears, and re-
peat the operation two or three times for
each application. Try it, and you will be
amazed at the result 1t is also the greatest
horse liniment in the world.

tract it was meeting with fair success and
was much encouraged.
Before the meeting had been called to or
der the members iudulged in general talk
on various topics of improvement. During
the conversation, President Luhrs was
asked what the Citizens Street Improve
ment Company was doing, and what had
become of the steam-wagon that had been
billed to do wonderful work at gravel haul
ing. Mr.. Luhrs replied that Mr.. Roberts,
the inventor, wanted another trial with his
wagon, and the company felt disposed to
grant it, but if il was not success this
time other contractors, who had steam
wagons. and were anxious for the work,
would be given q chance, At present, said
Mr.. Luhrs, the company had all the WORK
it could attend to. About thirty teams
were in its employ hauling gravel, and he
thought that fifteen more would be taken
on soon. Street improvement was going
on rapidly, and he hoped that this coming
winter would see marked difference II

generally, while another section of the
same august body was out on Twentieth
street diligently re-bluewashing the exter-
ior of the park fence, under the watchful
eye OF Deputy Nick Dole. This latter i'm
proyement, however, was considerably
marred in appearance by the amount of
coloring dropped upon the sidewalk by the
amateur brush wielders.
The race track is being put into magni-
fcent condition. Sprinklers, rakers aud
smoo;hers were busy all day, and will con-
tinue to be until Thursday, when the races

yesterday that already the track is very
fast, and he believes that when the first
race is run it will be in better condition
than ever before.

the last courses of training. The two doz-
en- PAlo Alto horses were imbered up dur

exhibit of Clyde draft horses arrived sun
dav night, that will attract much attention.
Prze rams, goats, donkeys, sheep and
hogs are there in hundreds.

No DANGER OF A FAM1NE.-A
report gained small circulation In
the city yesterday that the CITY
was in danger Of scarcity oi
several staple food articles.
A JOURNAL reporter this morn
ing started out to investigate
the matter and found that the state
ment had no foundation whatever.
Farrar & Co. said: "Yes we have
run out Of coal oil in five-gallon
cans but we have a god tank supply.
There is no need Of any uneasiness
whatever in our opinion" Cox
& Boggs said: ayes, il has been re-
ported that grocery supplies were
running short, but you may rest as
sured that we are prepared to supply
our trade with almost all the regular
stock. Just little short in a few
lines" J. G.. Wright and
Weller Bros. were also seen and
they report about the same as the
others. A prominent grocery mau
said. "Why if Salem was not to re-
ceive a pound Of freight for a
month yet, she would not exper-
ience much trouble in the supply Of
groceries" "You must remember "
said he, "Salem possesses quite a
number of grocery houses, and each
one carries Il large stock" This
should put at rest IA number of minds
that have been worrying over the
situation.
