We are especially grieved to report the loss of Warden Walter 

 Krukow who met his death in line of duty on April 2, 1947. He was shot 

 near Redding by an irresponsible youth, whom he had reprimanded for 

 a violation of the fishing laws. Warden K. Carl Lund was found dead 

 from asphyxiation in a state car on June 14, 1948. 



The wardens' school of instruction was inaugurated in this bien- 

 nium ; the first one being held at Wheeler 's Hot Springs, Ventura County, 

 in February and March, 1947, under the capable supervision and man- 

 agement of Assistant Chief of Patrol H. C. Jackson. Forty wardens 

 and assistant wardens attended this school. The second and third schools 

 were held at Asilomar, Monterey Coimty, in January and June, 1948. 

 A total of 73 attended these meetings. The results of these schools have 

 proven most satisfactory, and will be continued. To the other bureaus 

 of the division, attorneys, county and state agencies who contributed to 

 the success of this program, the Bureau of Patrol extends sincere thanks. 



The wardens reserve force now numbers 86, including the marine 

 reserve patrol. These men have been unselfish with their time, in lending 

 assistance to the regular patrol w^henever requested. These groups are 

 principally in Southern California, composed of sincere sportsmen, 

 anxious to do their bit without regard to personal benefits in an effort to 

 protect fish and game for all the people. 



An effort has been made during this biennium to reequip the Marine 

 Patrol. This branch suffered extreme depletion during the war. The 

 following replacements, and additions have been made : 



The patrol boat "Albacore" was purchased in March, 1948, and is 

 being reconditioned for patrol w'ork on the north coast. This hull was 

 formerly a Coast Guard cutter, 83 feet in length. The gas engines have 

 been removed, and it will now be powered with two 500 horsepower
