THERE IS A LACK Of GAME
NUMBER or BIRDS KILLED Is
GRADUALLY LESSENING.
Near by Preserves Have Been Thor
oughly Shot over by the Men from
the City.

There is lack of game for sports
men on Oahu. The number of birds
killed within the past two weeks is
gradually lessening. This is due to
the constant assaults upon the feath-
cred game, and especially so with the
plover.
The number of sportsmen who take
to the hills and various favorite Spots
on the Island in quest of plover, duck
and pheasants, is quite large. The
start is made early Saturday after
noon and the whole of Sunday is de-
voted to the sport. Some have not al
lowed a Sunday to slip by since the
season opened.
Plovcr shooters i'm the neighborhood
of Mn and Koko Head report miser-
able luck lately. Even turtle doves
are scarce and hardly anyone has seen
a single duck as yet.
Duck shooting is reported good at
Waialua and vicinity. Some sports
men who have hunted in that neigh
borhood have found birds more plen-
tiful this season than usual.
Some shooters enjoyed good pleas
ant shooting over in Koolau and Ia
huku regions IA week ago. Then down
in the vicinity of Leilehua there are q
good many foclls of these birds. Plo-
yer and doves have been bagged in
large numbers in these districts also
Probably the biggest bag of ducks
this season was secured at Koolau last
week.
The sportsmen have been disap-
pointed in the scarcity of foreign
ducks this year. Nearly all that have
been bagged have been the Island spe-
cies.
There is nearly always good sport
in the Wainae mountains in the neigh
borhood of Makaha. Wild goat shoot
ing is the most exciting here. There
are some wild turkeys, too.
The best shooting is on the other Is
lands In larger game, Molokai has
no equal in the Pacific. Several par
ties are being formed for the pur-
pose of Strengthening the deer and the

Sale of State Land.

Chief Clerk Ed Smith OF the state
land board was in Blackfoot Monday to
conduct sale of state lands as adver-
tised.
The acreage offered was large but
the buyers were few. The number of
acres offered was 1886 and only 5l4 were
sold. The high price of appraised val
ues, namely, SIS per acre, was thought
to be too much, hence the small
number of bidders. There is too much
government land in the Blackfoot land
district subject to entry to make school
lands go at a premium in the market.
