The deputies have done some good
work the past year fighting forest
fires and quite sum Of money has
been paid out of the fund for that
work, SO the game law is not only
for the protection Of game, but it
helps every person in the state and
especially the farmer, by preserving
the forest from fires, so we ask the
farmers to see that no one hunts or
fishes on their premises without they
have the proper game license, as
that IS the only source of revenue
which we have to put deputies III

I wish to put more deputies in
the mountains the coming season so
that we may be able to catch and

do no damage as far as we can.
