OF great value to the people much
more so than has generally been con-
sidered. If the resources of the state
in game and fish We're properly cared
for and properly advertised there is
little doubt but that there would be
a large number Of sportsmen each year
in search of game and fish, spending
a great deal OF money in the state for
this purpose. We have only to look to
Maine as an example of what will hap
pen when the matter of game is taken
hold of properly and used from a busi-
ness basis. The state of Maine appro-
PIRATES annually $4,000 for the protec-
ton of game, and the list of over a
thousand registered guides, with fees,
adds several thousand more. They
consider that every moose killed by an
outsider is at an expense of at least
$3.50 in the state, and therefore it is
worth a great deal to the citizens to
have the game protected and this
money spent among the people. II is
estimated that four millions is spent
annually in Maine by sportsmen Game
protection is reduced almost to
science. and the commissioners have
free hand to go ahead on a paying
basis.
The state of Montana. if it should
protect its game so that soprtsmen
from the East knew what to expect,
with all its big game, its wealth of fish,
its vast eNpanse of territory, much of
which is good hunting, could soon be
known more widely than is Maine and
certainly the expense of securing game
would all told be much greater per
head than in Maine. At the present time
l have letters from three wealthy indi-
Vlduals. all from the East who want
to come into the state for big game
and want information. They want to
take them in accordance with law. but
want to be sure that they can have a
chalnce at an animal, that is they want
10 come to good territory, and want to
know about guides, horses, outfit, etc.
L should be glad to have these and
other gentlemen come out We have no
list of guides, and my acquaintance is
not sufficient to recommend any one
outside of this immediate vicinity We
should have some advertising done so
that these and other gentlemen could
be at once put in communication with
those whom we could have on our list
as reputable guides. Letters of this
nature are coming often. Maine gets
more advertising than any other state
IN the union, because the system is such
that man stands the very best chance |
or getting into game territory and get |
ing shot at game With us he stands !
anything but the best chance, and we
certainly can offer as many chances |
and as good ones for game as any
state in the union.
l cannot close this paper without |
stating the valuable work done during |
the past year by the state warden. r. |

was appointed to the office of state J
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-12-17

large to be covered by one man, and
therefore they will not appoint. IN
still others it is that the people can
not afford the expense The law is
plain that where a suitable petition is
presented they must appoint. though
1t may be without salary But they
refuse to appoint, and if they were
forced to do so it would be to appoint
some one without salary who would be
a figurehead, and such Wardens do
more injury to the cause than no war
den at all.
In addition to the various wardens
every man on the forest reserve force
was under instructions from the secre-
tary of the interior to see that the game
and fish laws of the state were cob
served. These rangers, some 40 in num-
Der, We're all deputized as wardens, and
performed valuable service so long as
they were in the field. UnTortunat ely
through lack of funds, these men were
taken out of the reserves early in the
IAN and, of course, the reserves since
then have had no one to watch for Of
renders against the game laws. These
rangers, with the wardens, have been
instrumental in doing much good in
the state. The service of the wardens
and rangers is not measured by the
number of arrests and convictions they
make, but by the prevention of killing
through their presence in the field 1t
is pleasant to note that reports for a
month or no violations whatever We're
not uncommon. AS a result it is report
ed in many places that game is much
more abundant than usual, though |
see many complaints in the press of
lack of game when sought by hunters.
There is no doubt but that by proper
protection game and fish would multi
ply rapidly and afford abundant sport
for the citizens of the state for many
years to come.
AS was indicated, the commission
works under many difficulties. The
county wardens hold their office by yir-
tue of appointment by county commits
sioners, and naturally politics often
enter into the appointments The war
dens. moreover, through many WAYS
are incapactated from doing all they
should do. Theey could do much bet
ter work if they were wholly unknown,
and would work with much more
energy if their tenure of office weree as
sured 1t is not to be expected that a
man will do the arduous and often
thankless work of seeking to find game
poachers, perhaps in a community
where this is winked at and thought of
lightly, if the office is to be vacated in
three or six months and the warden is
then left to shift. The law does not
en- to call for the best material for
wardens or offer him sufficient support
in his work AS was previously pointed
out in a former communication in your
valuable paper, these wardens are not
under the direction of the board, and
cannot be so long as they are appointed
as at present. The board, therefore,
must confne itself to maturing plans
which cannot be operated for lack of
funds, and for spending the few dol
lars coming in from fines.
Another thing / wish to mention
under the results of the past year,
which | dislike much to do. That is
that in many cases the press has ex-
aggerated cases of killing and made |
light of the work of the wardens, when
the wardens weree poWerless. 1t is II

warden less than year ago and has
served since his appointment without
pay, and with no more than enough to
pay his own living expenses, including
nothing for his family. He has done
this willingly and has devoted his en-
tire time to the work. He has used his
own horses, travelling hundreds of miles
in his efforts to stop slaughter of game.
His name stands for business in this
line whenever he comes into a conn
munity. He is working thus to save
to the people of the state what is theirs
by right, and they should know the
sacrifice he has made for this cause.
All lovers of the sport will applaud
him for the work. If there is any man
in the state who deserves good Christ
mas present from the sportsmen and
lovers of game and fish in the state,
1t is the game warden of the state. The
state board appreciate his work and
at their recent session passed very
complimentary resolutions regarding
the work he has done.
In closing | wish all the lovers or
game merry Christmas and express
the hope that as the venison is roasted
IN the fire for the Christmas dinner or
the fish is baked or the grouse stewed
these few thoughts may be considered
carefully and determination made to
see that something shall be done soon
to better care for the game and fish
of the state. The people of the state
need an awakening in this direction.
The present system is very faulty, and
offers poor protection. 1t is better than
it has been. 1t can be bettered Scarce
ly will these lines be printed until the
law for hunting will be out With the
beginning of the new year the cold
weather and deep SHOWS will make
living for game a difficult problem,
and their destruction by wicked men
easy. Every citizen should not keen
his Christmas cheer around his own
fireside, for selfish ends. but should ex-
tend his good words and good deeds
to his more unfortunate companions,
and to the beasts OF the fields and the
fowls OF the air, which are now depend
ent upon the thoughtful and benevolent
care of man for their very existence.

Chairman Game and Fish Commission,
University of Montana, Misspula,
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-12-17
CHAIRMAN ELROD TALKS OF
MONTANA FISH AND GAME

1t affords me great pleasure to ac-
cede ito the Standards request and
furnish you with short sketch
of the work of the state board
of game and fish commissioners
Tor the past year. I do this the
more gladly because there is need of
careful consideration by the public Of
the work of this board and of the
help the board needs from the public
in their work.
. 1t is, of course, we'll known that the
work of this commission is done gratu-
itously by the members of the COM
mission. AS it is work that is for the
interest OF the entire people of the
state, it is but right that the people
should know what is being done, the
views of the commissioners and the
possibilities for accomplishing what
has been outlined.
While we are not at all satisfied with
the work that has been done the past
year. considering what we see needs to
be done and should be done. neverthe-
less we are able to say that the work
of the commission for the past year has
IN the main been very gratifying. The
commission is hampered at the outset
by a total lack of appropriation, and
Is dependent entirely upon the funds
received from fines. These fines are
not enough to permit of any extensive
work and, indeed, it is only by care
fully outstanding few hundred dol
lars that anything has been done. The
system of fines that is in existence
under the present law makes one-half
90 TO the 1nformer, the other to the
state In many cases it is impossible
10 secure a conviction from the fact
that people do not want even the i'm
preston to get out that they are after
the line, and refuse to say anything
rather than have such imputation
brought against them.
The total amount of money at the
disposal OF the commission the past
year has been less than a thousand
dollars. The total number of county
game wardens that have been appoint
ed in the state is TO- though some of
these are at the present writing dis
continued. The counties in which war
dens have been appointed are the fol-
lowing: Fergus Meagher, Missoula,
Lewis and Clarke, Park, Silver Bow
Ravalli, Cascade, Gallatin and Teton
The total salaries of the men in these
counties is about 500 per month. TIE
average salary is not over SIS per
month, and the warden must pay his
own expenses. From the fact that the
duties of the wardens are not ALWAYS
inc f1oSt peasant OF easy to perform il
is little wonder that the best material
and the most faithful work Is not al
ways secured.
The list of counties without wardens
IS larger than that with wardens. Re
peated letters to the county commits
sioners usually receive no replies. In
some cases, notably F'lathead. the com
missioners say outright they viii not
appoint. In others silence and the fail
ure to appoint lead the commission to
the idea that they will do nothing. The
reasons are various. Where there is
little game in the county the claim is
made that it is not worth the money
TO protect so little. In other cases the
claim is made that tina country is too
