OUR membership is steadily increasing. This will be very 

 gratifying news to those who have worked so diligently 

 with us in the past. We are already represented in ev- 

 ery part, of this state, but to accomplish the most good, we 

 must have a stronger representation. Do not discontinue your 

 efforts to secure members. 



We are still in debt to the extent of $1,800. Our creditors 

 have been extremely liberal with us, and it is necessary that 

 they be cared for at once. Every dollar will help. We are all 

 proud of our work and feel the responsibility for the debt. 

 Therefore make a special effort to secure the names of new 

 members and send their names to the Treasurer or Secretary 

 at once. 



Protective League. 



The Minnesota Game and Fish Protective League is organ- 

 ized to accomplish a definite task. The Forestry association 

 is in sympathy with their work and will do all it can to aid 

 them. The men who make up this league are the type of men 

 that we are glad to associate with, and it is to be hoped that 

 some arrangement will be made whereby their interests will 

 be ours, and our broader interests will be theirs. 



The matter of co-operation between these two organizations 

 has been discussed, and it is to be hoped that before another 

 month, the members of the Game and Fish Protective League 

 will join the Forestry association that they may have the ben- 

 efit of our greater experience, and that we may have the ben- 

 efit of this group of active and broad-minded men.
