QUAIL SCARCE IN
VICINITY OF PRESCOTT



There seems to be a sort OF hunt
ing craze on in Prescott since the
arrival OF the quail season. Every
day sees many taking to the coun-
try loaded with everything neces-
sary to bag both big and little
game. One would think the ex-
citement incident to the opening
of the quail season would have
subsidized before now, but it has
not. In fact it is hard to say
whether it has reached its height
among the sporting bIoods OF Pres
colt. And so far as the deer sea-
son is concerned, a general awaken
ing is just beginning. Some fine
trophies have been landed by Pres
colt people but the big end of the
season is yet to come, according
to prominent Prescott sportsman
Quail parties are the rage. how
ever. There is hardly a day but
many offices in Prescott are locked
on account of proprietor and clerks
being in the field with a gun. Be
tween this and the hunt" being
made by the candidates. rather dull
times seem to prevail in the Office
sections OF this city.
And many hunters are bringing
in good evidences OF their proves.
If neither quail nor deer fall at the
reports OF their guns. they are sure
to have nice lot of cotton tails
when they arrive home.
1t is said that quail in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF Prescott this
season are lamentably scarce but
that farther in the hlds they are
quite plentiful. Parties who make
the long trips seem to be the most
successful.
The Journal Miner day man yes
terday counted nine quail parties
while there are numerous others
waiting until Saturday when they
expect to start in the afternoon and
AXE an over-Sunday outing in quest
Of the wonderful little bird. And
they are all seemingly anticipating
pot pies. mulligans. and home fries
with a little red wine and a iollN
good time to boot.

COUNTY HIGHWAY
TAPS WALNUT CREEK
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(trom Wednesdays Daily.)
Walnut creek is at last relieved
of its isolation after many years
OF patiently waiting for a good
roadway. Cranes ranch was reach
ed few days ago, forty miles dis
tant from Prescott, and in a short
time Johnson's ranch will be con-
nected up with the main artery.
Work then starts toward Anvil
Rock. twelve miles away. and it is
expected that within three month ,
that link will be added to the
through line route to this city.
The advantages to these COM
munities will be manifold. Auto
traffic is superceding the horse, and
instead OF four days being required
to make the round trip, only one
will be necessary. The bringing
in OF farm products also will be
encouraged. and the expense OF
taking out supplies reduced to a
small cost. Walnut creek, in short,
is among the last of old settled
communities to be fixed up with a
modern highway, and the scores OF
substantial citizens are very much
pleased with the innovation OF hav-
ing means of convenient communi-
cation extended them and their in
