Carlos Avery, Retiring Executive Agent State Game and MUCH DONE TO PRESERVE GAME AND FISH OF STATE Fish Commission, Files Report Showing Work Performed by Commission During 1910. e o— \ L. st The Pioneer has been favors ,pq an advance copy of the or¢p~ teport of Carlos Avery, extt.tive agent of the Minnesota State Game and Fish commission, whose term of office expired January 1, and who announces that he is not a candi- date for reappo.. *ment. There is no part of the state where the protection of the present bountiful supply of the game and fish needs more careful supervision than does the territory tributary to Bemidji; and anything that may be said that will aid in this movement should be interesting to readers of the Pioneer. In speaking of the work of the wardens who are ir the employ of the commission, Mr. Avery says: "I cannot speak too highly of the faithful and efficient service rendered by the wardens as a whole. Though there may have been individual exceptions, theyaverage ability of the men on the force is very high. The degree of physical and moral cour- age, good judgment and discretion demanded of a game warden is greater than in any other branch of the public service.” Of the activity of the commission and its wardens in enforcing the provisions of the game and fish laws, Mr. Avery says: “Prosecutions for the vear ending December 1, 1909, numbered 503, of which 450 resulted in convictions. There were 31 acquittals, 43 cases were dismissed with the consent of the department; nine cases are still pending and justices Suspended sentence in five cases. There was paid in fines‘ in game and fish cases the sum of $7,208.00 and an aggre- M,y e of 1,365 days se ved.”, . * Warden. in this section are given credits as follows: S. C. Bailey of this city, warden of the commission for this district, according to the report, had 19 cases, with 515 days’ imprisonment. Mr. Bailey is credited with having made 15 seizures. Jesse Harry of Grand Rapids had 19 cases, with $265 in fines and 215 days’ imprisonment. Mr. Harry made 21 seizures. 8. Josylin, Park Rapids, 1 case, ten daysin jail. George W. Loman of Loman, in Koochiching county, 10 cases, $175 in fines, and 10 seizures. William F. Munch of Crookston, 28 cases, $635 in fines, 60 days’ imprisonment, and 4 seizures. George Rardin, Brainerd, 12 cases, $115 fines, and 12 seizures. B. L. Waterman, Hubbard, 4 cases, $40 fines. Theodore Wegman, Lake Itasca, 3 cases, $60 fines, 4 seizures. Mr. Avery makes many recom- mendations relative to the propoga- tion of game and fish, establishment of game preserves, maintaining of a museum, and tells of the systematic manner in which the different departments of the commission are conducted. There is an intelligent, itemized account of every transaction of the commission during the past year; imprisonment and the report covers a lot of ground that indicate the interest which the retiring executive agent has always Autocrat Linen.

The commission loses a valuable official in the retirement of Mr. Avery, who took hold of the office of executive agent at 2 time when the affairs of the commission were con- ducted rather loosely. There has been a decided change in this con- dition, under Mr. Avery’s regime; and those who have the real welfare of the game and fish of the state at heart appreciate his labors and what he has accomplished for the state. ‘The Episcopal Guild will hold a food sale at the Cormontan & Hanson Drug store, south entrance, Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock. TWO “FAWNS” TAKEN IN BY B. P. 0. E. LAST NIGHT ““Jack” Shambeau and Andrew Johnson Were Provided With Brand New Elk “Antlers.” Last night's meeting of the Be- midji Lodge of Elks was a splendid inauguration of the new year in Elk- dom,the meeting being one of the most enthusiastic in the history of 1052, There was a good attendance of members and the evening’s “‘doings” were greatly enjoyed by all of the “horned brethren” present, as well as two who were “antlered” during the session. “Jack” Shambeau, a life insurance agent in whom there is no guile, lodge presented himself at the “Jack" Shambeau had to give one of his har- rangues on life insurance, for the edfica- tion of the Elks. He made good. rooms and declared that he “wanted all that was coming;” and he was accompanied by Edward Rogers of Walker, who told the brothers to “turn everything loose” and give Mr. Shambeau the proper amount of good things. And Mr. Shambeau was taken down deep into the valley of good fellowship and shown the animals, both sacred and otherwise, and he tasted of the fruit of humility, with the result that he emerged with a fine pair of antlers and declares he is satisfied that the «Best ?eople on Earth” are what they are claimed to be. Andrew Johnson, the deputy sheriff who was recently danger- ously wounded, was also initiated, he being treated very considerately by the lodge. At last night’s meeting the lodge closed a contract with the Juvenile Bostonians to give three perform- ances in this city, sometime in February, under the auspices of the B.P. 0. E.
