Protection for Birds

The last session of the Arizona Legislature amended the game laws of he territory SO that now 1t is unlawful to kill quail, bob white, partridge, grouse, pheas- ant, snipe, rail, curlew, ibis, plO- yer or other shore birds between the first of March and the fifteenth of October; white wing ed doves or turtle doves between the 10th of October and the first of July, and wild ducks between the 18th of February and the first of October. The number of deer IS limited to three for the season and the number of any of the above mentioned birds Is linn ited to 25 in any one day. Ir IS hoped by these measures to assist m prOpogating these birds and fowl instead of eXterminating them as would surely have hap pened had such measures not taken for their protection.
 The Legislature also passed a law to license hunters fixing the fees for such license as follows:
 To any citizen of the United States who is a bona fde resident of the territory, S1; to any citizen of the United States not a bona fide resident of the Territory, SlO; to any person not citizen of the Uuited States, $25; the license to be good between Jan. l and Dec. 31 of each year. and not to be transferable, and pre- scribing penalties for hunting without a license, excepting per sons hunting upon their own lands.
