Now You Can Hunt Ptarmigan or Bear
With Bow and Arrow, New Law Says
WASHINGTON, (B—The Inter-<
ior Department announced yester
day that for the first time since
hunting regulations have been en
forced in Alaska bow and arrow
hunting will be permitted during
the 1955-56 season for all game
species on which seasons are pre
scribed.
A spokesman said the depart
ment started game law enforce
ment in the territory in 1925.
This is one of the changes in the
Alaska game law regulations for
hunting, sport fishing and trap
ping in the 1955-56 season which
will become effective July 1.
Other changes, and in some in
stances the explanations given by
the Fish and Wildlife Service:
The non resident bag limit on po
lar bear will be reduced from
three to one per season, due to
increased hunting pressure by
nonresidents.
The daily limit on ptarmigan
will be increased from 15 to 20.
Hunting within 100 feet of the
center line of any public highway
will not be permitted. The previ
ous distance was 33 feet in some
areas and one-fourth of a mile in
others.
The sport fishing regulations
“will adjust limits and seasons to
provide common dates in broader
areas and will reduce special reg
ulations to a minimum.”
The deer season on Kodiak Is
land will be lengthened to allow
greater harvest of the increasing
deer populations there.The taking
of a limited number of antlerless
deer in southeastern Alaska will

be permitted to keep the popula
tion down to the nnmber that can
be supported on the winter range.
The season for moose and cari
bou hunting will be lengthened,
with dates varying by areas, due
to a general increase in the popu
lations of those animals. The tak
ing of two caribou, instead of one,
will be allowed in the area south
of the Alaska range and east of
the Alaska Railroad.
An earlier brown and grizzly
bear season for inland areas, run
ning from Aug. 20 to June 20, will
permit taking those animals dur
ing the mountain-sheep season.
Previously the two seasons were
not concurrent.
The bag limit on brown and
grizzly bear is reduced from two
to one in the westward areas
Inhere the animals are extremely
vulnerable to modem open-coun
try hunting methods. A season
limit on black bear will apply
equally to resident and non-resi
dent hunters. Previously residents
could take unlimited numbers.
Trapping regulations applicable
to mink, marten, land otter, fox,
lynx, and weasel (ermine) will
also include wolverine among the
fur animals for which seasons are
prescribed.
A later opening date, on Jan. 1,
is set for muskrat trapping. The
service said this change is to
avoid the taking of animals when
skins are unprime and of little
value.
A 31-day season from April 15
to May 15 is set for trapping of
beaver in Fur District 1, where
there has been a closed season for
some years. In other fur districts
the season limits on beaver will
be generally increased.
The service said printed copies
of the regulations soon will be
available at its Juneau headquar
ters and from local enforcement
officers throughout the territory.

Upward Trend Noted In
Nation’s Family Incomes
Some 41 percent of the nation’s
families have incomes of $5,000
a year or more, and 55 percent get
$4,000 or more yearly, the Com
merce Department reports.
A big upward switch in family
income since the war was report
ed in a new study of family finan
ces.
It said that since 1947 the num
ber of families living on less than
$4,000 a year has shrunk by 20
percent, while the number of
families with more than $4,000 a
year has increased by 70 percent.
In the same period, families
with incomes of $10,000 or more
were said to have increased by
100 percent, and their total in
come before taxes has grown from
36 billion dollars a year to 70
billions.
The report said federal personal
income taxes in 1953 took 30 bil
lion dollars of family income, or
11 percent.
