BIRDS WERE SCARCE
BUT JACKS PLENTIFUL
Hunters Return to City with Sage
Hens, but Without PART
ridge and Grouse.

Hunting has not been the very best
in the world SO far this season, two
days of which have passed, and the
sportsmen are unable to figure out
where the game has gone. Birds have
been seen in numbers by campers and
fishermen, prior to the opening of
the hunting season, but Sunday and
Monday they were not in evidence,
at least not in quantities satisfying
to those who went out with guns to
bring them home. Many of those
seen were wild and most difficult Of
approach. Sage hens in the Wenas,
found in large flocks, We're wary and
good for a long flight every time they
were started, which was usually out
of gunshot. ~
Sage Hens We're Found
Says hens offered the best bags and
some good returns were reported,
Charles Marsh, who was out with Del
Hiscock over the far Mckee terri
tory, reported 20 sage hens and ma
tive pheasants and added that he saw
more jack rabbits than he had ever
before encountered in his experience
| in Yakima At one time, he said,
he and his party certainly had hun
dred of the jacks in sight and had
they been out after that kind of game
certainly could have made a killing
Ed Mellen and party. who were
out to the Hog ranch, shot 16 sage
hens and another party of five mem
bers reported Is birds. Ed Merwin
says his party did not do so well on
birds and shifted over to trout of
which they got 100. DR.. Scott and
party got ten birds. Rain interfered
with the work at the birds and the
party sought a nights refuge at Tony
Klober's hay barn, which Mr.. Mer-
win says was like hotel. When his
party pulled up there there were four
automobiles and several rigs ahead of
them and sleeping space in the hay
was at a premium.
No reports had been received last
night from Ed Carpenter, James
Loudon, Dr. Wight, John Weigel, Sam
McCaw, Frank Bryant, III. Y. Saint
and the other hunters who were out.
