EACH MEMBER SHOULD WORK. 

 All L. A. S. members should be busy 

 in some line of work to advance the in- 

 terests of game preservation. There is 

 some game coming into this market all 

 the time from adjoining states, in violation 

 of non-export game laws., and I suppose 



this is true as regards all the large game 

 markets of the country. Game dealers 

 here say the wardens of adjoining States 

 are interfering more or less with the ship- 

 ping of game, yet I see boxes on Water 

 street containing prairie chickens, ruffed 

 grouse and quails which have come from 

 points outside of Illinois. All our mem- 

 bers everywhere should report any in- 

 formation they may have to the proper 

 officials of any violation of the game laws 

 and see that offenders are prosecuted at 

 once. 



Mr. Loveday has never called meetings 

 for members here, and we are not doing 

 the work we should do. Railway and ex- 

 press companies should be seen and made 

 to pledge themselves not to violate the 

 laws of States having non-export laws. 



I have gathered the market reports of 

 game and find that several large cities 

 quote all kinds of game, and much of it is 

 reported in bad order. Let us get after 

 the market hunters, have them reported 

 where thev are killing game, and let us 

 report the condition of the markets, and 

 let the public know where game is being 

 sent from. 



Maurice R. Bortree, 172 Washington 

 Street, Chicago. 



Your suggestions are sound and timely 

 and I trust all League members will act 

 on them promptly. We could prevent a 

 great deal of the illicit traffic in game that 

 is now being carried on if all members 

 would only do their duty. 1 have repeat- 

 edly urged Mr. Loveday to call a meeting 

 of L. A. S. members in Chicago and he 

 has often promised to do so, but promises 

 don't protect game. I should like to see 

 him do some real work and produce some 

 icsults. — Editor. 



AN UP-TO-DATE WARDEN. 

 I have been exceedingly busy with the 

 fishermen on Lake Erie. I am pleased to 

 become a member of any organization for 

 protecting birds, fish and game. I have 

 been for the last 7 years fighting violations 

 of the fame laws in this State. I have 

 liberated 2,600 of our native song birds 

 that have been trapped and sold in the 

 markets of the State, but I did not get the 

 support I should have had in cases of this 

 kind, as I had to prosecute almost every 

 case myself. After conviction in a justice's 

 court the case would be carried up. The 

 attorney would then get in court without 

 my notice, state in his petition that the 

 defendant had had the bird years before 

 the law was passed and the prisoner would 

 be discharged. 



A. W. Hitch, Fish and Game Warden, 

 Cleveland, O. 



You have certainly done a noble work 

 in the interest of game and bird protcc-
