Game Protection and 



The largest item of expenditure from the Game Protection Fund 

 is in the employment of deputy game wardens in different parts of the 



state. From 35 to 40 regular wardens are hired 

 Game Warden throughout the year. The average salary of a regular 

 Service deputy is $75.00 per month and traveling expenses. A 



district deputy is paid from $85.00 to $100.00 per month 

 and necessary traveling expenses. 

 With the amount of money to 

 spend in warden service it is 

 impossible to patrol a state the 

 size of Oregon. The effort has 

 been to place deputies where 

 they will do the most effective 

 work. The plan has been used 

 during the past year of shifting 

 men from place to place in order 

 to have them cover as much 

 ground as possible. This re- 

 quires more expense, but has 

 given more effective service. 

 With the idea of improving the 

 warden service, an effort is being 

 made to get men for game war- 

 den work whoi study and know 

 game conditions, who can secure 

 the co-operation of the farmers 

 and land owners throughout the 

 state, and who assist in and en- 

 courage the killing of those 

 predatory animals which are the 

 enemies of game. 



The efficiency of the Game 

 Department will be greatly in- 

 creased during the coming year 

 since the United States Bureau 

 O'f Forestry has issued orders to 

 all supervisors, assistants and

rangers to not only work in co- 

 operation with this department, but actively assist in the enforcement of 

 game laws. The state employs fire wardens to enforce the forestry
