Whenever the heather in their blind

would be sent among them to bring them

According to the biennial report of the
Secretary of State w. III. FrOehl:eh. lust
sSued, the game wardens cost the state
u the year 1901, the first year of Gov,
La Follette's ad inistration, S3:., Cos Al.
For the nine months ending in August of
his year they cost the state S4T,0746G.
1t is curious to know that the fish and
game of the state needed protection dur
ng the twelve months of last year to the
extent. in round numbers, of 500. 900.
while in election year protection is needed
% the extent of SAT- in nine months.
At this rate of increase and taking into
account the strenuousness Of Gov. La
FOllette's life from now ON, the cost of
game wardens for the full yeSr Of 1902
will be probably not less than SIS. 900.
This year of our Lord 1902 seems TO be a
treat year for Reform and game wardens.
