WASHINGTON DIVISION. 



I have the honor to report the following 

 as part of the work that the League has ac- 

 complished in this State during the past 

 year: 



II arrests and convictions in Spokane 

 county, viz : 



Westlake, cold storage, selling venison 

 out of season, $25 and costs. 



Joe Reed, shooting ducks in close season, 

 $15 and costs. 



Spokane Ditch Co., damming stream, $25. 



Finch, catching bass, $15 and costs. 



Joe Burdise, catching bass, $25 and costs. 



L. C. Gimmel, putting sawdust in stream, 

 $100. 



Nick Eider, killing non-game birds, $15. 



Du Bois, shooting quail, $15. 



The foregoing is mainly the work of 

 Member J. A. Uhlig, who is county game 

 warden. 



I secured 3 arrests and convictions. One 

 for shooting prairie chickens in close sea- 

 son and 2 for shooting meadow larks. The 

 2 latter got $15 each. 



It was the work of League members that 

 secured the passage of several good laws, 

 including a license law, the Audubon non- 

 game bird law, prohibition of the sale of 

 trout and game fishes, etc. 



An immense amount of letter writing has 

 been done as to violators who could not be 

 reached by law, and their promises secured 

 in many cases that they will observe the law 

 in future. 



Mr. F. A. Pontius, secretary-treasurer of 

 this division, will give you information as 

 to what has been accomplished in the West- 

 ern part of the State. 



F. S. Merrill, 

 Chief Warden, Washington Division. 



I herewith submit the following report 

 of the work we have accomplished for 

 game protection during the past year in 

 the section West of the Cascade mountains; 



Through the efforts of the L. A. S. and 

 its many friends in this State, the last Leg- 

 islature revised and amended the game 

 laws. As now enacted they are not so 

 stringent in some respects as we wish to 

 have them. We have, however, been able
