INTERS OUT
AFTER QUAIL
If there Is a quail In the Roguo River
valley alive this morning that Is unac
quainted with the sound of shot whist
ling through the ulr, that same bird
must have crawled In a Iiolo Saturday
and "pulled the hole after him."
Long before daylight tho hum of au
tos and the clatter of horse' hoofs on
the pavement could be heard, as the
early"' hunters" headed lii tho direction
of their particular hunting grounds, and
"tho early bird" waa doubtless disturb
ed In his searcn for tho proverbial worm
by a fusillade of small shot.
Tho birds ore reported as very plen
tiful this year, and the limit should
bo easily reached on tho opening day.
There have been 1850 hunting licenses
Issued by County Clerk Coleman this
vear, most of them coming In during
tho past few weeks, owing to the open
ing of the hunting season proper.
Local dealers In sporting goods hove
been burled In orders for guns and am
munition during the past few days. "I
haven't a shotgun of any description,
nnd mighty few shells left," Is what the,
majority of them say.
