REPORT OF FIFTH DISTRICT WARDEN. 
To the Game and Fish Commission: 
The headquarters of this district are at East St. Louis. Thirteen 
counties comprise the district as follows: 
Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, Montgomery, Madison, St. 
Clair, Bond, Clinton, Washington, Perry, Monroe and Randolph. 
This district comprises 5,890 square miles. Eight deputy game 
and fish wardens have been working in this district for the past year. 
The character of work done by the deputies in this district com- 
prises the enforcement and suppression of violations of the law, as 
given in the game and fish laws. 
This district is bounded by the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers on 
the west the full length of the district. 
We have a great deal of work keeping the fishermen from violat- 
ing the law, and keeping the market fishermen from making illegal 
shipments. Moreover, as the Illinois River above this district abounds 
with numerous large fish, dealers and shippers, if they escape the 
vigilance of the wardens in that district, we have them to cope with 
here, as a great many of their shipments go through this district ; also 
the Kaskaskia River, which passes through this district from northeast 
to southwest, together with its tributaries, has been set aside as a fish 
preserve, which action does not meet with the approval of a great 
many, and it is going to take a great deal of work to keep them from 
violating the law in this respect.
