PROTECTION OF GAME AND STOCK. 



REG. 70, All forest officers will cooperate with State or 

 Territorial officials, so far as they can without undue in-

 local laws for the protection of game and stock. When 

 authorized to do so by the proper State officers they will, 

 without additional pay, act as game wardens and stock

 not so authorized they will promptly inform the State 

 officials of all violations discovered. (Appendix, p. 162.)

 the law is discovered by the ranger, he will at once notify the 

 proper State officer, if practicable, and report this action to the 

 supervisor. If unable to communicate with the State officer, or if 

 no action follows, he will give the facts to the supervisor, who 

 will transmit them to the proper State authority.
