Hach deputy is required to devote his entire time to the department. 
reporting daily to the district warden, the territory covered and the 
nature and amount of work performed. 
It has been the aim of the district warden that the entire district 
be well patrolled, but on account of not having a large enough force of 
deputies, it has been necessary that they be assigned to the places where 
the game and fish are more plentiful, and where violations are most 
likely to oceur. Chicago alone, in this district, could well occupy the 
time and attention of the entire force of deputies. There are about 25 
receiving points for commercial shipments of game and fish, and two 
deputies devote their entire time to looking after these shipments. After 
two years of persistent effort, illegal shipments have been greatly reduced 
and very few illegal fish now reach the wholesale markets. Contraband 
shipments, on being detected, are confiscated and sent to the charitable 
institutions in and around Chicago. 
The gill and dip net fishing in Lake Michigan requires a great deal 
of attention from the deputies who are assigned to Cook County during 
the fishing season. When it will be remembered that there is about 
sixty miles of Lake Michigan shore in this district, it will be easy to 
appreciate what a difficult task it is to keep violations down. However, 
the people in this district are now beginning to appreciate the work that 
the Game and Fish Commission is doing and are making an honest 
effort to assist the department in the enforcement of the laws. 
The Fox Lake region in Lake County, embracing some fifty good 
fishing lakes, requires the entire attention of the two deputies assigned
