                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
   CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
 
                SUBCHAPTER XIV--CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK
 
Sec. 127. Hunting and fishing; rules and regulations; punishment

    All hunting or the killing, wounding, or capturing at any time of 
any wild bird or animal, except dangerous animals when it is necessary 
to prevent them from destroying human lives or inflicting injury, is 
prohibited within the limits of said park; nor shall any fish be taken 
out of the waters of the park in any other way than by hook and line, 
and then only at such seasons and in such times and manner as may be 
directed by the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior 
shall make and publish such rules and regulations as he may deem 
necessary and proper for the management and care of the park and for the 
protection of the property therein, especially for the preservation from 
injury or spoliation of all timber, mineral deposits other than those 
legally located prior to August 21, 1916, natural curiosities, or 
wonderful objects within said park, and for the protection of the 
animals and birds in the park from capture or destruction, and to 
prevent their being frightened or driven from the park; and he shall 
make rules and regulations governing the taking of fish from the streams 
or lakes in the park. Possession within said park of the dead bodies, or 
any part thereof, of any wild bird or animal shall be prima facie 
evidence that the person or persons having the same are guilty of 
violating this Act. Any person or persons, or stage or express company, 
or railway company, who knows or has reason to believe that they were 
taken or killed contrary to the provisions of this Act and who receives 
for transportation any of said animals, birds, or fish so killed, 
caught, or taken, or who shall violate any of the other provisions of 
this Act or any rule or regulation that may be promulgated by the 
Secretary of the Interior with reference to the management and care of 
the park or for the protection of the property therein, for the 
preservation from injury or spoliation of timber, mineral deposits other 
than those legally located prior to August 21, 1916, natural 
curiosities, or wonderful objects within said park, or for the 
protection of the animals, birds, or fish in the park, or who shall 
within said park commit any damage, injury, or spoliation to or upon any 
building, fence, hedge, gate, guidepost, tree, wood, underwood, timber, 
garden, crops, vegetables, plants, land, springs, mineral deposits other 
than those legally located prior to August 21, 1916, natural 
curiosities, or other matter or thing growing or being thereon or 
situate therein, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be 
subject to a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment not exceeding 
six months, or both, and be adjudged to pay all costs of the 
proceedings.
