the different districts will be talked over among the rangers, 

 and plans more carefully harmonized for the work of the 

 future. 



For the greater protection of game in Itasca State Park 

 the one-half mile hunting limit has now been clearly marked 

 out. The law provides that no hunting shall be done nor fire- 

 arms carried within one-half mile of the boundaries of the 

 park. Heretofore the officers of the park have been at a dis- 

 advantage in enforcing this regulation, because frequently 

 people were unable to tell when they had come within the 

 one-half mile limit. Ranger Johnson, with two of his patrol- 

 men, completed the line on the west side of the park, while the 

 work on the south and east sides was done by County Sur- 

 veyor Keays, of Park Rapids. The line was cut out to a 

 width of four feet, and clearly designated by posters, mark- 

 ing the trees with red paint, and setting up painted posts at 

 intervals of about twenty rods. 



The very great abundance of game in the park insures a 

 steady supply for the adjacent territory, and there will al- 

 ways be good hunting in the vicinity of the park as long as 

 the state law and regulations governing the care of game 

 are enforced. 



Rangers, Patrolmen, Woodsmen and Others! If you have
