School Convention.
SANTA ANA, Feb. 16.-It pays to be
good sport. This a HERALD representa-
tive had forcibly brought to his mind
this morning by visit to Wells, Fargo
& Co.'s express Office, where he found j.
X. Morrow unloading three sacks con-
tanning 1s6 mnllard ducks, which he
had killed in the marshes southwest of
town, and was shipping to the Los An
geles markets. Mallards find ready
sale at $4 per dozen, and as Mr.. Morrow
makes three shipments per week, aver
aging 150 ducks to the shipment, it can
readily be seen that he has been maxi
ing very lucrative wages. Ducks are
very plentiful now, and 30 are hunters.
The duck law comes into effect on the
1st day OF March, when hunting must
cease.
Another important revenue to sports
men is fishing. At Newport from 10 to
IL fishermen are at work, and tho main
supply of fish for the markets of South
ern California comes from this place.
The sea has been too rough during the
present month to permit fishermen to
follow their business, but now that the
weather has settled we may expect large
shipments again. During the month of
January $4,000 pounds of fish caught
at Newport were shipped from this city.

TO RAISE HOGS.
Frank H. Smith, representing the
Cudahy Packing company of Los Ange'
les, was in town today, and in converse
tion with HERALD reporter stated that
he had made trip through the farming
districts of Orange county and every
where found the farmers enthusiastic
over the establishment OF pork pack
ing establishment in the metropolis oi
Southern California. Farmers will, .
said he, ''engage largely in the raising
of hogs here in the future,
v for they now feel assured of mar
ket, and at close distance, too. Thit
county is admirably suited to hog rails
ing, for you produce the finest OF hos
food. / anticipate that this county will
contribute largely to our supply, anc
expect that we will experience no diff
Guilty in handling all and more than we
can secure"
