Burning structures, etc., not the subject of arson .—Section 
600 of the California State Code is as follows: 
Every person who wilfully and maliciously burns any 
bridge exceeding in value iifty dollars, or any structure, 
snowshed, vessel, or boat, not the subject of arson, or any 
tent, or any stack of hay or grain or straw of any kind, or 
any pile of baled hay or straw, or any pile of potatoes, or 
beans or vegetables, or produce of fruit of any kind, 
whether sacked, boxed, or crated, or not, or any growing 
or standing grain, grass, or tree, or any fence, or any railroad 
car, lumber, cordwood, railroad ties, telegraph or telephone 
poles, or shakes, or any tule land or peat ground of the value 
of twenty-five dollars or over, not the property of such 
person, is punishable by imprisonment in the State prison 
for not less than one year nor more than ten years. 
FISH AND GAME. 
The fish and game laws are too voluminous for reproduc¬ 
tion here. Every forest officer must have, as a part of his 
law-enforcement equipment, a copy of the latest edition 
of the fish and game laws of the State in which his district 
lies. The fish and game laws of California, as published 
in pocket pamphlet form by the State Fish and Game 
Commission, contain also the Federal laws and regulations 
relating to migratory birds. Copies can be obtained on 
request to the district forester. 
REGULATIONS. 
In addition to the preceding, Department of Agriculture 
Regulation T-7 provides as follows: 
Reg. T-7a. The going or being upon any land of the 
United States, or in or on the waters thereof, within a 
National Forest, with intent to hunt, catch, trap, wilfully 
disturb or kill any kind of game animal, game or nongame 
bird, or fish, or to take the eggs of any such bird, in viola¬ 
tion of the laws of the State in which such land or waters 
are situated, is hereby prohibited. 
This regulation brings violation of the State fish and 
game laws into the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, when 
it is desirable to invoke their action. An important point 
is that this regulation permits prosecution for intent.
