Evidently there is something in thu
air in connection with the game war
den revenues and as Senator Gunder-
son has introduced a resolution re-
question an Investigating committee,
which was passed, the matter Will no
doubt be probed at an early date.
The Independent is, however, with
out the accurate knowledge in con-
nection with the matter, so We have
no comment to make one way or the
other at this time.
However, our readers may rest as
sured that if there is any question
pertaining to either the illegal use or
abuse OF the funds of the state, we
will give the information, whatever it
may be when we have more intelli-
gent knowledge of the matter.
The information will no doubt be
forthcoming as the committee probes
into the matter.
The Independent has in it's posses
sion statement OF the expenditures
Of the state game and flsh commission
from Jan. |. 1909, until Dec. %. 1910.
showing collection to the credit Of this
fund, during that time, amounting to
$47, $4,000. while the expenditures for
special game wardens, their salaries
and expenses amount to $37,23S.7O,
which amount has been paid during
that time. In addition to this amount
there are unpaid bills amounting to
$5,39l. 4S making a total Of expenses
Of S42,63O.1S. There therefore is a
balance OF $4,599.S2 to the credit of
this fund.

GAME WARDENS
WERE WELL PAID
North Dakota Game and Fish Commission Prove,
to be Rather Expensive Proposition-Over
$4,000 Spent in Past Two Years

this week. The special game wardena
were scattered pretty we'll over the
state In this part Of the state We
notice the names Of Taylor Thompson
who was editor Of the Carpio News
Taylor drew $50 for services. L. D
McGahan editor of the Democrat drew
$50. Other game wardens were o
l.. Toftner, Axel Johnson, Staale Hen.
erickson, e. H. Stenvick and Thorwald
Mostad.
The report makes very interesting
reading. For instance during the
month of August, 1910, Staale Hen
erickson, drew in addition to his SAL
airy, which was 500, expenses amount
ing to $2a1.3O Hendrickson, it was
reported, had taken e. H. Stenvick' 8
job as game warden, yet We see that
Mr.. Stenvick was on the Job in Au-
gust, too, for on August 10 he drew
his salary Of 500 with expenses
$213.65 additional.
The expenses OF this commission Ap-
pear to be excessive. If they are not
the governor will not doubt be able
to show that they were entirely neces-
sary.
1t is a coincidence probably that the
game of the state needed protection
during the months when the campaign
was the warmest. It seems strange
however, that the payments for such
services should be deferred until two
weeks after election.
The Independent expects to have
something more to say next week, at
ter We have had an opportunity to
delve into the matter more thoroughly
