the request that has been made of the
supervisors of Los Angeles county for
a shorter season for quail, doves and
deer. 1t is probable that IL the sea-

do the same, that the seasons may be
uniform in both counties. The reason
for this is obvious, as with a. longer
season in San Bernardino county there
would be an influx OF hunters from
the outside. The local supervisors are
also considering the passage of an
ordinance forbidding, for term of
years. the killing Of deer in this
county.
