Minnesota Game and Fish— Concluded from page 200. 



here who would go your security ? Whom do you know?" 

 "I don't know: let me see," said the special reflectively, "O, 



yes, there is Gus A , that keeps the saloon; he's an old 



friend, he'll back me for most any amount; will he do?" 

 "Yes, that'll be all right, he can drop in here and see us. 



But say, I hear that there are several good lakes up in 



county: and it's easy to get the fish down here on the 



railroad. But you've got to look out sharp. You know it's 

 not quite according to law. but that's your lookout, we 

 don't want to know where you go or what you do with the 

 net; if you give security for it you can get it, aud if you 

 send us good fish, well iced, we'il take all you send and pay 

 you 3K cents a pound. Fish is what we're after." It is 

 needless to add that further negotiations for nets, etc., here 

 ended. 



There are located in the northeastern section of the State 

 men who derive a livelihood by guiding hunting parties, and 

 have deer hounds located at various points easily accessible 

 when wanted for running deer, who have thus far escaped, 

 through the connivance of certain ''influential" citizens and 

 the laxity of local officers, the penalty they deserve. But 

 they are being watched as fast as located and some of the 

 dogs have been killed, and more will be the coming sum- 

 mer, and their owners or keepers being better known and 

 listed will be dealt with and legal penalty enforced wher- 

 ever possible. If it is possible for us to put an end to those 

 who have entrenched themselves behind their "business 

 men" shield, furnishing complete outfits and directing 

 marauders where to go for game, we shall have done 

 much for our own people and generations to come in pro- 

 tecting for our use an abundance of fish and game. 



OBSTRUCTIONS BS OFFICIALS. 



Strange as it may seem, there are sheriffs, county attor- 

 neys and justices of the peace within the State, who, in 

 several instances reported by the specials, from motives 

 which can only be conjectured to emanate from incapacity 

 to comprehend a law, self conceit or personal compensation 

 (pecuniary or political), practically prevent the board from 

 securing convictions. Notwithstanding all this, the law 

 has received the approval and enforcement by some of out- 

 most gifted judges, justices, lawyers and legislators. 

 Against all the obstructions and hindrances of the law's 

 full enforcement the Commission cannot help but feel that 



they have made great headway, considering that this year's 

 effort is only the initiatory and really the first attempt to 

 systematically attempting to regulate and control the un- 

 lawful killing of game. 



This report would be incomplete without acknowledging 

 to the true sportsmen— devotees of both rod and gun— of the 

 State the many courtesies and kindnesses received by the 

 individual members of the board, and its employees at their 

 hands. By their generous effort and timely aid we have 

 been enabled to accomplish much more than we otherwise 

 might. It was largely through their instrumentality that 

 the present commission was organized, and we doubt not 

 they will value the services rendered when they realize the 

 great disadvantages under which we have been compelled to 

 perform our duties under the law as it now exists. We be- 

 speak for ourselves a continuance of the aid of all true 

 sportsmen in our future endeavors, and trust we may all 

 work together harmoniously, to the end that still greater 

 benefits may result. [Signed] Very respectfully, 



R. O. Sweeney, Sr., 

 Pres. Game and Pish Com. of Minnesota.
