The above report shows the work done in the twenty-two counties 
of District 6 from July 1, 1914, to July 1, 1915, by the warden and 
seven deputies, which constituted the working force of said district 
during the time specified in the above report. 
INVENTORY. 
One Monarch typewriter, $75.00; 1 motor boat, $80.00; 1 ferro- 
boat, $80.00; 1 small skiff or rowboat, $25.00; 1 gasoline launch, 
$250.00; 1 binder for daily report files, records, books, etc., $10.00; 
total, $520.00. 
District 6 is bounded on the north and west by Crawford, Jasper, 
Effingham, Fayette, Clinton, Washington and Perry Counties and the 
Mississippi River. On the south and east by the Mississippi, Ohio 
and Wabash Rivers. The above named rivers form almost two-thirds 
of the boundary line of this district, giving it a river front of over 
two hundred miles. These rivers furnish employment to hundreds 
of fishermen, but as the State of Illinois has no jurisdiction over the 
Ohio and only concurrent jurisdiction over the Wabash, it will derive 
but little benefit from the fishermen in the way of licenses as provided 
for in the Illinois Game and Fish Act of 1915. It will be quite differ- 
ent in regard to the Mississippi River as this State has jurisdiction 
over this river from the Illinois shore to the center of the stream. 
The city clerk of Carbondale, during the months of July and August, 
sold between two and three hundred hoop and fyke net licenses to the 
fishermen of Grand Tower and vicinity. I mention this only for the 
purpose of showing the good results being obtained from our new 
game and fish law and the members of the General Assembly should 
be praised for putting part of the burden of the expense of protecting 
our fish and game on the fishermen, for in the past about three- 
fourths of the money paid to the State by the hunters for hunting 
licenses has been spent for the benefit of the fishermen. District 6 
covers an area of over 7,000 square miles and contains more game 
than any other two districts in the State. There are a great many 
prairie chickens in the northern part of the district, a few squirrels, 
quail and rabbits. | 
3 In the central and southern part of this district, squirrels, quails 
and rabbits are found more plentiful and in Union, Johnson, Massac 
and Pope Counties are several flocks of wild turkeys. The lakes and 
marshy timbered lands of the Ohio and Mississippi River bottoms
