Prairie Chickens Scarce.

In the earlier days prairie chicken
shooting was the great sport all over
Oklahoma, but with the advent of
civilization they have been pushed on
west so that ii is. necessary now to go
to the sparsely-settled counties Of
western Oklahoma to find them, and
even then they are by no means plenti-
full.
To assist in preventing their exterf
mination the game law has shortened
the season from September | to No
vember /, and fixed a bag limit to fif-
teen teen iii one day day Ice In In a season
Even at that. however. they are
rapidly disappearing. It happened that
they were the most numerous in the
sections where it was hardest to en-
force the game laws and in a part of
the state where in addition to native
gunners. pot hunters from other states
poured across the border to assist in
the destruction
Two hunters recently secured the

and got only forty chickens. A few
lyears ago that mary birds could easily
have been killed in half a day. II fact
the birds were pest to the few farm
ers who were then living in that part
of the state and they welcomed the
hunters who came to kill them. Often
as many as 400 or 500 birds would rise
from one field.
Even without quail, the hunters have

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 14-Only two
days remain until the opening Of the
quail season in Oklahoma and the
sportsmen all over the state are getting
their hunting equipment in order so as
to lose no time in getting into the
field after the seasNn opens.
In territorial days, the quail season
in oklahoma opened on October is,
but under the new game law now in
force it commences ON November is
and ends February /. or, rather it be-
gins on November 16, as the Attorney
General has ruled that the provision
defining the open season as being be-
tween those two dates excludes both
of them.
From all reports the quail will be un-
usually -lentiful this year The wealth
er has been dry and severe transforms
which are most destructive to the
young birds, have been lacking. The
more rigid game laws have also given
them greater protection, and the ille-
gal capture or shipment of quail has
now been reduced almost to the mini
num-
Under existing conditions the birds
have become so tame that the Bob
White whistle can be heard around
the outskirts of any town, and the
siSht Of a quail sounding its call from
a telephone pole or chimney top in the
heart of the towns is not unusual
Quail shooting in Oklahoma is con
sidered byJ devotees of the sport to be
the acme Of life in the woods or field.
In Oklahoma's mild climate the air
lis just cool enough to set the blood
a-tingle without being cold enough to
cause any discomfort to the hunter,
and the thought of following a brace
of well-trained dogs through the brown
fields and hedge rows. where the little
brown birds are easy to find and fat
from their feasting ON grains and ber-
|ries, causes the city man, who has ever
felt its exhilaration to lose interest in
Office or store during the season when
others are afield.

THE VALLEYS FOURTH
Celebrations at 6rawIey and caIexieo And Crowds Assembled in Towns
 To Hear Prize Fight News.

Noiseless Fourths have arrived.
 Independence Day this year in I'm perial Valley introduced the new brand of quiet patriotism. The fire cracker and other explosives found little patronage and the safe and sane provisions of city ordinances against the sale of such explosives adopted in all the valley towns kept them in safety against possible invasions of fire
 The main celebration this year was at Brawley,where program of amuse- ments was given under the direction of the Huddleston Pavilion manage ment. People from all the valley towns visited Brawley and were con- siderably disappointed that the adver- tised program was not carried through
 At Calexico horse races and athletic sports filled the program and were witenessed by a good sized crowd.
 In all of the valley towns bulletins IiOhl Ine llnSSlue dC hSuO were poSleu and these attracted large crowds of men. At the Fl Centro bulletins it Is estimated there was an assemblage of 400 men. The prowess of Jeffries and Johnson was the general all-ab- sorbing theme, to the exclusi0n of all thoughts of matters of state and patri- otism. The Press has yet to hear of one patriotic address made in Imperial Valley on Independence Day.

FINE VALLEY PEACHES,

Many people this week have ad- mired display in the windows of the Imperial Valley Press which included peaches, nectarines, plums and figs, from the ranch of D. G. Whiting, near Heber.
