| The Montana Fish and Game Pro-

ested in the preservation of game,
will extend throughout the. state. The
organization first took life in Helena
and from the business like manner in
which it has started off the associa-

almost every locality of Montana.
The members pledge themselves to
obey the state game laws first, and
then to aid in the enforcement of the
present game and fish laws. 1t is
also the intention of the organization
to present to the next legislature a
bill which it is hoped will be such as
can be enforced.

ton of said laws that may come to his
knowledge. Such application must
be filed with the secretary of this as

of the divisions hereinafter provided
for, who shall forward the same to
the secretary Of the association.

subdivided for the convenience Of adj
ministration and government, as fol
lows:
