DUCK SHOOTING
James M. Harvey Says Water,
Feed and Ducks Will Be
Plentiful This Season.

With the opening of the duck season
about two weeks away interest in this
great event i'm Utah is becoming intense.
Every day the hunters are about looking
at new guns, selecting ammunition and
making arrangements for a couple of days
outing at the opening Of the season. Re
ports generally are that there will be
plenty of ducks and the hunters are,
therefore, happy. Probably the best indi-
cation Of what may be expected comes
from Uncle Jim Harvey. who has been
up on Chesapeake bay on the northern
end Of the Great Salt Lake for the past
month. Uncle jim is recognized as
authority on ducks and writes an interest
ing letter to r. l.. Carey of this city.
While the conditions described therein are
OF the chesapeake bay cluD. vet the same
conditions exist at the other clubs around
the lake.
Mr.. Carey yesterday gave The Herald
a copy of Uncle Jim'S letter. which is
as follows:
Plenty of Feed.
According to promise | write to let you
know of conditions mere. The bay is full
