GUN AND DOG NOTES.

Several white-winged pigeons,
belonging to the dove family have
been killed by our local sportsmen
the past few days. They are half
size larger than an ordinary dove.
The doves are already punching;
this means Immigration, and the
first cold spell will reduce their
numbers considerably.
Several of our local sportsmen
succeeded in bagging q few plover
after the late rain in the suburbs
of our city.
The game protection meeting at
Waco is thing of the past. OFF,
GERS have been elected, committees
appointed, etc., but matter OF
vital Importance, and one the
sportsmen should not overlook at
the next assemblage Of the Texas
legislature Is steering commit
tee" or in other words, a working
committee whose duty it shall be
to attend the session and personal
ly supervise the fight for game
protection. You will notice that
the minute a general bill is intro
duced some statesman from
the forks of the creeks
will ask an amendment ex-
empting his county from
the effects of the game laws,

less the balance Of the year. Things
have changed since those old fogy
ideas were first conceived. The
noble buffalo that once roamed our
prairies is now extinct, so far as
hunting them Is concerned; deer
are getting scarcer every year,
prairie chickens and wild turkeys
have been exterminated from
every county in the state
with few exceptions; quail
and doves are yet plentiful
and yet with proper protection
they will soon multiply and afford
the Texan q continuation of that
sport they enjoy so well. Our
migratory birds such as ducks,
geese and birds of plumage, that
are being slaughtered and shipped
to northern markets should be
made the property of our citizens,
and any attempt to ship them out
of the state should be made mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine and
imprisonment. A long pull, a
strong pull, and pull alto
gether is necessary to victory; let
us put our shoulders to the
wheel and pull for a common
cause, a general game law with
equal rights to all Texans and
favors to no outsiders.

laws, and let us unite under one
banner, that Of game protection.

Shipment of Mexican oranges
to the states has began. Many
Americans are engaged In the traf-
fe and find it most profitable.
The only trouble is that in
most sections sufficient care is
not taken to cultivate the
right kind Of oranges, the fruit be-
ing for the most part thick skin
ned and woody. These harbor
worms are bad for shipment. Mex.
leans are slowly catching on to
these facts. Better and more suit
able trSes are being grown, and ere
long Mexico will, as she can easily
do, knock California and Florida
out, especially in the early mar
kets, and give Americans more
luscious and cheaper oranges. The
same remarks are equally appli-
cable to the lemon trade.

Cour says the secret OF success is
to advertise the fair we'll and then
to keep pushing it.
Two men that had a feud met
the other morning on the Plaza
San Juan and agreed to settle
matters in friendly way. They
retired to quiet spot, drew their
knives and fought. 1t was nc
French duel; it was a fight to q
finish. When the police saw them,
both were badly butchered and dy.
ing, yet seated friendly side by
side. They died few minutes az
ter and were buried together.
A man named Rosario suspected
his wife of being unfaithful. He
