QUAIL WILL BE PLENTIFUL
From Saturdays Daily.l

A"
 Russ Warner, representative of the Remington company, when in the city few days ago, made an interesting statement regarding the hunting pros poets for the coming season. Quail and other birds know instinetively when the feed will be poor on ae- count of dry season and last year did not mate to any extent, but could be found all spring in eoveys. In consequence there were few young quail last season and hunting was not up to the usual high standard.
 This year already promises to sur. pass many for feed of all kinds.
 Mr Warner has made many in quiries and elieited the fact that quail are mating everywhere in the Territory. This promises excellent shooting for the coming fall season.
 It also augers well for stock and farming interests.
