In speaking of his line of work Mr. Avery said: “I am well pleased with the work of the northern Minnesota game wardens, who are in the employ of the State Game & Fish Commission. They have all done some very good work, and especially is this true of the newer parts of this territory, which might be termed the ‘frontier’ of Minnesota. “The wardens have had difficult| tasks rationally enforcing the game and fish lawsin the territorty east of Crookston, west of Duluth and in the northern part of the state. The commission has endeavored to employ as wardens only the very best men obtainable—men with good judgment, and who have some influence in the community where they reside. In this we have been very successful. “Whlle it is impossible for the commission to station wardens on | every quarter section of land, still we believe that the territory has been fairly well covered.” before. s 3 “During my visit at beginning to come into the territory in the northern part of Itasca county.
