Schefski.) One-hal- f hour before sunrise next Saturday morning, October 1, marks the opening of the duck hunting season and the shooting will be better than it has been for some time. Thousands of ducks have been hatched locally and they are flying in great clouds back and forth over the sloughs west of the city. The high water of the past year has made ideal breeding grounds of all the gun clubs. The ducks that have been raised here will, without doubt, nearly be killed off by the many gunners who will be out at least twice a week. Then comes a lull in the shooting until the heavy winter storms drive the ducks down from the far north. The northern ducks are principally p.ntails, blue bills or lesser scaup, redheads, mallard, baldpates, canvasback, ringnecks and goldeneyes. The northern duck as a rule is very fat and is much desired by the hunter. Utah seems to be a natural stopover for these ducks, especially if there are no storms prevailing at the time of their arrival. Otherwise they continue their flight further south where the feeding grounds are not frozen up. The law provides that twenty-fiv- e ducks is the limit per man. Not more than eight geese are permitted killed, or a hunter may kill seventeen ducks and eight greese, making in all twenty-fiv- e birds. There are many hunters who are of the opinion that mudhens or coots may be killed but these birds are protected by the government as well as by our state laws. Among other birds that are protected are swan, snipe, sand, pipers, plovers, willets, curley, godw-itsavocets. It will pay each hunter to study the game laws in order to keep out of trouble.

They are a mighty clever team of funsters and their skit a merry one. Scanlon, Denncn Brothers and Scanlan amuse immensely with their novelty dance and song numbers. They appear in Old Ideas Renewed, introducing their own original Waltz Quadrille, a dance sensation. Thelma and OConnor are newcomers to the circuit, but their artistry and delightful personalities as displayed in their distinctive offering should make them big favorites in a jiffy. Frank Texas Walker and Guadaloupe Warne appear in Sunshine and Smiles, a melange of jokes, sons, dances and expert roping. Walker is a keen rival of Will Rogers as a jokesmith. Clairmont Brothers have a new and thrilling act in which they mix fun and thrills in equal measure. Aesops Fables, Pathe News and Topics of the Day are on the bill as usual, and they should help aid to its enjoyment. ' AMERICAN. Courage and daring were qualities characteristic of all the scouts who won their right to fame in frontier history, but for lion nerve and pure grit Sam Houston was the peer of them all. Perhaps he inherited his fortitude from his father, who was a soldier in the revolution; perhaps during his long stay among the Cherokee Indians he learned that a warrior bears pain without flinching. Houston was a Virginian who had entered the army and risen to the rank of ensign at the outbreak of the Creek war in 1913. Gen. Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, had taken the field against the Creeks and, after a series of battles in which the Indians were defeated, they made a last stand at their fortified encampment, Tohopeka, in the Great Horseshoe bend of the Tallapoosa river, Alabama. During the assault on this fort, a baibed arrow struck Houston in the th.gh. He tried to pull it out, but failed. The agony was frightful. Calling to a soldier, Houston commanded him to extract the shalt. Twice the man tried and failed, then begged to be relieved of the task when he saw the unspeakable torture he was caus- gad-wal- l, ing. Try again,' commanded Houston. And if you fail, Ill run you through with my sword! The third attempt was successful, and as the barbed shaft was torn fiom the flesh, it was followed by a gush of blood. General Jackson, seeing Houston's wound, ordered him to the rear. The young ensign waited until Jackson had passed on, liad a surgeon bind up the wound, and in a ernment wardens will check up much closer the coming year on hunters few minutes he was back in the thick than heretofore.

The State of Utah is one big game preserve and if the present law. vag strictly adheied too all kinds of game would be on the increase. There is a movement on foot to set aside special game preserves wrhere game cannot be killed at any time. This is all right too, providing these game preserves do not become so numerous as to join each other and eventually bar the hunter from carrying a gun in any part of the statel After.it is all said ana done, game preserves are only made to increase the supply of game birds and animals and this already has been done by government and state laws. One more game preserve in this count? and there will be no place for the city boy to hunt a chicken or a mountain hare. The duck club3 have tied up all the duck shooting grounds. The new game preserve "which extends south as far as Little Cottonwood canyon juit about winds up the average hunters limit of travel. After the snow has fallen many of the boys go up in the nearby hills to kill cottontails and mountain hares. Provisions ought to be made that certain kind of game v certain periods could be shot. An in stance of game protection of which the state residents do not derive any bent fit from is the protection of ducks os the Strawberry reservoir. When the cold weather hits that country ducks leave for the south. Of the course by protecting these ducks we do some good by providing better shooting to our southern neighbors, and if that fel the object of the law it is a good one but for the people who live near the reservoir it works a hardship. Thel U again no cne ought to carry a gun hand on a game preserve.
