organized by ten of the most prominent business men in Salt Lake They have selected a fine section on the north fork of the Snake river about eighteen miles west of the Yellowstone Park I is one of the finest fin-est trout fishing districts In the country coun-try and there is also good deer elk duck and chicken shooting on the land controlled by the party of men In control con-trol The

These gentlemen will spend from two weeks to one month at the hunting grounds every season GAME NOW PLENTIFUL For the first time In many seasons has the supply of wild game been greater than the demand on the market mar-ket The wholesale houses as well as the retail stores have an oversupply ot wild ducks grouse and jackrabbits There is a law on the statute books hlcl prohibits any poison from killing kill-ing more than forty ducks in one day yet the game comes pouring Into the market by the case until at present the dealers have called a halt The pot hunters apparently ire getting 2n their fine work regardless of laws or game wardens They shoot from sinkboxes and they shoot at night but none of the them have as yet been arrested this season for taking game unlawfully Many complaints are heard dally of these market hunters especially from the mouth of the river where sinkboxes are numerous and where shooting la i going on by moonlight moon-light when the d ck can be seen The small savory teal holds sway over tho market by its numbers There aro a few canvasbacks and a fair supply of redheads Snipe made their appearance last week and bring 150 a dozen Jackrabbits were never so plentiful a lost week There must have been a hundred men out shooting exclusively for the market which Is weU supplied with big fine jacks her he-r at twentyfive cents n pair cheap enough for the poorest man toeat The deer law closed last Friday and left the market without so much a a horn to show that anyone had been shooting them Hunters for deer have not fared well tlus season which is probablY owing to the mild weather EXCITING DEER HUNT John Sharp Jr returned yesterday from a deer hunt In Rush valley where ho killed two and could have killed more but for the law which specifies two for each person Sharp traveled on foot some ten miles up and downhill down-hill before he wag rewarded He found six fine specimens grazing in 1 small glade in the timber raking careful aim he brought down a big doe the first shot This started the deer going in the opposite direction Two more shots followed without effect Cutting through the timber the leader n big fine buck stopped on top of the ridge and looked around He was about four hundred yards away when Sharp took careful aim and broke his back dropping drop-ping him in his tracks Sharp said that grouse were so thick that a fair shot could easily kill two hundred in a day Cal Cnlllson returned from 0 goose hunt at Corrlnc with u hardluck story The ejector spring in his gun broke the second shot and ho brought home but five Canada geese In four days huntIng hunt-Ing I took him one day to locate the feeding grounds of the geese and he said that there were thousands of them In the country but they are hard to shoot He will go again in the near future Wild geese were seen In the market yesterday but they were limited limit-ed to a few pair of the white species THE STATES FISIT State Fish and Game

from them and deposited in proper places for hatching The fry will be ready for distribution about February when Mr Sharp will commence com-mence stocking the streams Mr Sharp has done a great deal for the fishermen the past season He has stocked every stream which could be reached by railroad and the consequences conse-quences were that fishing was better I than for several seasons past I will be better next year as the market hunters were knocked out by the law which prohibits the sale of mountain trout in the market and which reduced the uscot dynamite In the various 1 streams to a mlmmium I Domestic poultry Isholdlll Its own I against the wild game There is a big demand on tho market and It is also well supplied j |
