The shooting sea son closed last
week and from now on the local nim-
rods will be compelled to content
themselves with recounting the tales
of their prowess. This does not mean
that cotton tails and quail can disport
themselves with impunity for there are
plenty ofhunters who apparently know
no more about game laws than the
proverbial hog does about holiday.
They will be abroad as long as there
is game to shoot if the game warden
keeps out Of the way. But no true
sportsman thinks of shooting game out
of season.
The season Just closed, according
to the local hunters, has been an un-
usually good one for birds, but not so
good for rabbits. Quail have been very
plentiful, but the hunters have not
been so fortunate IN bringing them
down as in former years. Either the
birds have been livelier this year or
the hunters have not been able to get
onto their curves, for every hunter
that has come in has told of starting
up plenty of covies, but somehow the
majority of them managed to get
away.

Referring to church matters he said
that he hoped to see the common
brotherhood of man united in an uni
versal religion, worshiping one God
at one altar.
Last Sunday. he preached at the Nor

"reminiscences of his so years of church
work and describing Brigham Young
