the third offense the law must take its course. This may not be strict en- 
forcement of the law but we believe it is humane and right.

REPORT OF FIETH DISTRICT WARDEN: 
To the Game and Fish Commission: 
The office and headquarters of this district is at East St. Louis. 
This district is bounded on the west by the Mississippi River the en- 
tire length of the district. 
The Illinois River extends from Grafton north and is the boundary 
line between Jersey and Greene Counties on the east and Calhoun 
County on the west. The northwest corner of Greene County is as 
far north as this district extends. 
The Kaskaskia River flows through this district and passes through 
the counties of Bond, Clinton, Washington, St. Clair and Randolph. 
This river is open to all legal methods of fishing from Carlyle, Clin- 
ton County, south to it’s confluence with the Mississippi River, which is 
a few miles above Chester, Randolph County, but from Carlyle north it is 
set aside as a fish preserve as are all of its tributaries both north and 
south. } 
This district has more fishing and hunting grounds, more fishermen 
and hunters, and sells more licenses, taking in consideration the number 
of counties it contains, than any district in the State. 
We have a great deal of work endeavoring to keep the fishermen 
from violating the laws. Moreover as the Illinois River above this dis- 
trict abounds with numerous fishermen and wholesale dealers, who catch 
and handle fish on a large scale, if in their violations they escape the 
vigilance of the wardens in that district we have them to cope with down 
here, as a vast quantity of fish are shipped from the Hlinois River above 
this district here to St. Louis and the eastern markets. 
ach deputy is required to put in all his time in the enforcement 
of the game and fish laws and to devote no part of his time to any other 
business. 
The character of work done by the deputies is to travel the territory 
to which they are assigned seeing that the laws relative to both game 
and fish are observed; also there is much to be gained by the deputies 
mingling with the public in general thereby enlightening them as to the 
laws and their duties in observing the same, ake. the eood results to all 
in the conservation of both game ‘and fish.
