| Arizona as resort for lovers of sport afeld is truly a paradise. The divers l ity of game and it's accessibility to- gether with the grand sights that are encountered make it one of the most
 desirable places for the true lover of legitimate sport. To the average east erner the territory is still considered to be the wild and woolly country of twenty years ago, when everybody packed a couple of siX-shooters and a
 knife. He will, however, be disap-
 pointed should he visit Arizona at this
 day with the expectation of finding that
 state of affairs now He will find that
 the early settlers of that variety have
 been succeeded by a class or true
 sportsmen who carry guns for far diff
 ferent purpose and whose early train
 ing in days when such accomplish
 EcentS were necessary places them
 much above the average markSman of
 eastern states, and whose genial west
 ern hospitality will always make time
 pass pleasantly to any visiting sports
 man who chances within the confines
 Cf the territory.
 As a country where great interest is
 taken in sport with the gun and rod
 Arizona is up with them all. We have
 a number of gun clubs cnrougnout the
 territory which combined form an or
 ganiZatiOn called the Arizona Sports
 mans association. This association
 meets once a year and shooters from all parts of the territory participate in
 2 three days tournament. There are three trophies belonging to this asso- citation. The individual championship live bird medal the individual cham
 pionship Blue Rock medal and the team championship diamond medal, which trophies are placeu 1n competi- tion during the annual tournament. A great deal of good natred rivalry exists between the different gun clubs which serves to keep up the interest ill the sport. It has been through the efforts of this association that laws protecting game and fish have been passed and one Of it's main objects is to see that violators of the law are pun ished
 Game of all kinds is found here in For lovers of large game there is bear, deer, antelope, mountain sheep and mountain lion. Deer are particularly plentiful, more so now than 9 few years ago, and this is owing no doubt to the passage of the game law, which so far has worked to perfec- 1 tion The writer enjoyed the privilege | of a four months hunting trip the past ! summer, travelling from Phoenix over 1 land as far north as the Grand Canyon | of the Colorado.

 of them is out of sight before a bob
 white is fairly up, consequently one
 who legitimately makes a large bag of
 them has of necessity to be a cracker
 jack; still we have here few of that
 cracker-jack variety of shooters. A short time ago four hunters from Phoe- nix put in a days shooting a few miles west of the city, tho result being one man killed 130, another 106, the third a. and the fourth 86. All shot on the wing.
 The Sonora pigeon is a bird Of which very little is heard outside of Arizona. It is occasionally found in New Mexico but with that exception Arizona is the only section of the United States where this bird is to be found, and kere it is only to be found in or near the Salt River valley, which seems to be it's objective point in migrating for hatch ing. In size the Sonora (Mexicans call it the Paloma) is between the common dove and a wild mountain pigeon. Its plumage is lighter in color than that Of the dove. It's bill is straight instead Of curved and it has a white line of feathers across the middle Of the wing; i3 a speedy flier and makes long flights They begin to arrive here in June and by July they are here in numbers.
