 I see that Harry Hibben of Flagstaff is doing business with the ducks over on Marshall lake and that he killed 216 in one week. Having seen Hibben shoot, I know that when he swings that old ten-bOre into position some thing is going to drop. If 1 were to shoot that same ten-bore I am satis- fled that the dropping -would be on my end of the gun, but Hibben has plenty of beef and can stand it, and I am glad to hear of his success. There is a movement on foot to have a two or three days hunt, a bluerock shoot and a good time be- tween, or rather by the Phoenix and Tucson clubs.

 many birds were encountered, but a
 good outing was had as well as some
 shooting. One of the party insisted
 on getting lost, while another en-
 joyed himself shooting some birds that } were in a tree until some kind friend informed him that it was not uuai he was shooting, but song birds. Still another of the party states that ii , the same man drives the horse agair he is going to walk, as ditches foul feet deep and four wide are not to his liking; not that he cares any thing about the driver, horse or tht ditches, but he has wife and babie. at home and he has been told tha
