ARE FAULTY
Qovernor Points Out In Annual
Report—Suggests Matter Left
to Local Legislature.
In his annual report on the
Alaska game law and its admin
istration, Gov. Clark makes a
strong plea to have the power
given to the local legislature to
amend existing laws and regula
tions and to frame new measures
that may become expedient from
time to time.
The report shows that the fierce
brown bear, protected by the game
law, is growing so numerically
strong in certain localities, es
pecially on Kodiak island that he
has become a pestilence, attack
ing the offspring of moose, one of
(he most valuable food animals.
It is also, stated that this mon
ster has become a nuisance to
human beings.
The incongruous condition re
sulting from the classification of
bear is pointedly shown in the
fact that a brown bear is classed
as game and protected by the
game law, while the black bear is
named as a fur bearing animal
and subject to the regulations of
the bureau of fisheries.
Yet the workings of nature are
such that of the same litter some
bears are black and some are
brown.
The governor also suggests
that the fur laws should be made
by the local legislature with the
possible exeeeption of the laws
applying to the fur seal. It is
demonstrated the lack of a prop
er /understanding of conditions
existing in Alaska make it im
practicable for congress to leg
islate intelligently on these sub
jects.
The report slates that the in
crease from $12,000 to $15,000
per year enabled the governor to
enforce the regulations more
rapidly. The increase has been
used in traveling expenses for
the game wardens.
Except in districts close by
towns and industrial camps nftrl
on certain islands where wolves
have ravaged the deer there has
apparently been a net increase in
the mimchr of large game ani
mals.
A NEW LODGE

MISUNDER8TOOD THE
CHIEF’S ADVICE
Denver, Jan. 14.—By following
the advice given by Chief of Po
lice ft'Neill to women to prevent
their being robbed, Mrs. Mary
Robinson lost $84 last night
through theft. Chief O’Neill two
days ago had wArned women to
keep their money in their stock
ings. Mrs. Robinson did, and last
night, silting in hfer room, her
stocking was removed while she
slept in her chair and the money
taken from it.
I meant that stockings should
be used as purses, not safety de
posti vaults,” said Chief O’Neill
when the theft was reported lo
him.
