1T MADE MONEY FOR MAINE,

The first efforts to protect fish or
game in America were made by Maine
in 1S43, when law was passed re-
quirlng the governor of that state to
appoint fish commissioners.
In 1852 these commissioners were
put in control of moose and deer.
This is really the beginning of the
warden system in the United States,
and Name was the pioneer in game
and fish protection. To this day
Maine Is we'll supplied with game,
and that game pays the people of the
state ian estimate on good authority
about $l3,000,O0O annually. The evo-
luton which has taken place, looking
to fish and game protection in the
New England stales, especially has
been slowly going on for 50 years,
but in the West and South. SO lavish
ly endowed by nature with game and
