178 ABOUT THE GAME LAWS, ETC, 
is not severe enough to meet some cases that needs to 
mete out severe punishment to the convicted persons. 
In concluding these impressions about the game laws 
and their enforcement in North Dakota, wecan but 
hope that the game laws of Minnesota will be drawn 
upon in future legislation in amending the game and 
tresspass laws as a good guide in the presrvation of our 
useful birds and animals and fora more methodical 
and surer way of convicting offenders, not forgetting 
that much depends on the courage, character, pride in 
the success of, and special interest in his work of the 
\ ardens and their deputies. These officers should have 
a monthly stipend or salary, but should be kept contin- 
uously on the move in sections where violations of the 
game laws may be looked for. An officer elected to a 
county office on beginning his duties enters the court 
house and takes charge of the county records. In like 
manner the duties ot a game warden lies among :the 
haunts of wild animals and birds and it is for them and 
with them he is expected to use the major portion of 
his time. 
While admitting the necessity of some radical and 
timely amendments to the game laws for their better 
enforcement, it also needs a few wardens of the Ful- 
lerton kind to lend material assistance thereto.
