PUBLIC DOCUMENT No. 25.

A large number of deer killed while damaging crops are re- 

 ported from remote districts, away from electric and railroad 

 accommodations, making it imperative for the deputy who is to

 to hire a team or automobile. In this way several hundred 

 dollars of the appropriation are used each year, and under the 

 existing laws there is no apparent way to lessen this outlay.
