How Piutes Catch Quail.

These natives have a unique way
of getting quail. For them there Is
nc closed season, or indeed any game
law whatever. Seasons when the quail
come down from the mountains to the
spring the Indians make great prepa-
rations for their capture.
They build a bough house, with a
long, slender opening in the front,
formed of tail, straight sticks set
closely together. Within the house
an Indian sits concealed. holding a
long timber rod which he operates.
In the early morning when the birds
flock down for water he picks them
off, enc at a time, killing them in
%stantly.
There Is no report in this manner
of hunting to brighten the others
away, and the Indian often gets
enough game in a single morning for
the whole settlement.

ccrped and it gave an opportunity for
both sides TO get better understand

try. He seconded President Trum-
bulls remarks on the interdeOend'
oncc OF states and communities and
the necessity for a regard at all times
for the needs of other sections, Con-
ductor Pat Wallace, as the man in
the oyeralls," gave a short talk brim-
full of spirit in thanking the Den,
yer management for the Consideratt

had received during long service with
the company. He also called atten.
