in so far as the question of food is concerned. 
The yearling elk resemble deer and are often 
unintentionally shot by hunters who mistake 
them for deer. The experiment of attempting 
to restock the Adirondacks with elk has been 
an interesting one, but for the reason above 
given is likely to result in failure. 
One of the most interesting facts with refer¬ 
ence to the wild anima's of the State is the 
rapid increase of beaver. For a number of years 
prior to 1904 it was commonly believed that 
beaver had been exterminated in the State. As 
a matter of fact, however, a small remnant of 
the once abundant native stock still survived. 
The last stronghold of these beaver was the 
lake region in Township Twenty, south and west 
of St. Regis Mountain. A few beaver were 011 
the west branch of the St. Regis River and a 
few on the Jordan River, which empties into 
the Raquette River in the town of Hollywood, 
St. Lawrence county. In all there were probably 
not more than a score of beaver left. 
All told the commission has information of 
about sixty families of beaver over a widely 
scattered region, chiefly of course in the Adiron¬ 
dack section. They are breeding rapidly, the 
law protecting them is respected, and they wi.l 
soon be a common sight in the northern part of

the State. 
During the last fiscal year the returns from 
hunters’ licenses were $141,2x9 as against $ 134 .- 
031 for 1909. Suffolk county again leads the 
other counties of the State in the number of 
licenses issued. 
It is interesting to note that in the three 
years that general hunters’ licenses have been 
issued, two counties of less than 100,000 popula¬ 
tion have led the other counties of the State. 
These are Suffolk, which has twice stood at the 
head of the list and once in second place, and 
St. Lawrence, which has once occupied the first 
position and twice the second place. Next to 
these counties Eric and Monroe have contested 
for the honors. 
Some of the leaders of the organized sports¬ 
men of the State believe that the enforcement 
of the game law has been too severe. The state¬ 
ment is made that the game protector should 
devote his energies to prevent violations of the 
game law and not to the prosecutions of the 
violators. It is said that the protector, under 
the present system, is judged too much by his 
record of cases, and that better results would be 
obtained if he was instructed to make few, if 
any, arrests, but to warn the violators of the law 
ar.d to hold his evidence of violations over their 
heads as a threat to make them mend their 
ways. 
Vvhi’c plausible in theory such a program is 
highly impractical. Prosecuting people for vio¬ 
lations of the law is not pleasant business. The 
game protector is human and would naturally 
welcome an excuse to he rid of the most trouble¬ 
some part of his work. The result could not 
fail to be loss of discipline and demoralization 
in the force and increased game law violation. 
The attitude which the commission takes upon 
this matter, and the only attitude which it can 
take, is that where a vio’ation of the law has 
been committed the pena’ty must he met. 1 here 
is no way of getting around it. Once the com¬ 
mission is satisfied that any provision of the 
game law has been violated that part of the in¬ 
cident is closed.
