report there were very few willful trespassesin 1906. This year there have been only 45 trespasses on State land in theentire sixteen counties. No timber trespass of consequence has been made.Of these only three were more than a few trees for firewood, which indicatesa very good condition of the observance of the law in relation to trespass-ing upon the State Forest Preserve, and shows a better condition than hasheretofore existed so far as the Department is advised. During the presentyear there were, of those left over from last year and new ones, 1,289 casesof violations of law of all kinds, of which 186 were placed in the hands ofattorneys and disposed of; 690 were handled by this Department direct.Of the 1,289 cases, 876 have been disposed of, leaving undisposed of at thepresent time 413. Ten actions for trespass are on appeal; 128 at issue incourts of record and 158 actions are to be brought. There were 37 acquit-tals, 1 disagreement and 14 cases dicontinued for want of evidence.
