SEWARI), ALASKA- FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 22, 191(5.
The new regulations against selling moose meat is a
peculiar one, to say the least. It is safe to say that it
would not save half a dozen animals in a whole winter on,
let us saw Kenai Peninsula. Let us believe even that the
town of Seward would buv a dozen moose in a sesaon, and
that is probably saying too much. Hut let us say so, and
how manv of that dozen will be saved bv the new law?i
The men who have time on their hands and little money
are the men who are usually tempted to kill game for sale.
Hut the verv same men are the men who are most likely
to kill game for their own meat. Is it not most probable
now that when those men go to kill a moose they will pack
home onlv what thev can carrv and leave the rest to rot in
« « «
stead of selling it? They will not certainly go to extra
hard labor to bring it in for nothing. Any man engaged
In fishing, farming or any other occupation to supply the
local market knows to his cost how terribly limited that
market is. Let a fisherman bring in a few hundred pounds
of halibut and he can have an enforced vacation for a long
time. Let a hunter bring in a thousand pounds of moose
meat and chances are that Seward would have all the
moose it wanted for weeks. Men who are broke this wint
er here and at Anchorage will go and kill moose just the
same. Instead of bringing in that moose to sell a man
would consider it easier, no doubt, to take home just what
he wanted and go again and kill another moose when he
wanted more. It is easier to hunt than to drag hundreds
of pounds of meat over unbroken trails. The remainder
of each carcase will be left to rot. On the other hand if
he could sell the meat it would pay him to pack it all. In
deed, it is questionable whether the new regulations will
save three moose a year on all this penisula. The same, no
doubt, holds good about sheep. So. come along, ye stran
gers; Alaska's l>est is Wing kept for you again. And all
this does not mean that Alaska’s game should not be pre
served. It most certainly should be and nothing would be
punishment enough for the man who wastes game want
only. but “there is reason in all things.”
All people engaged in work of a public nature must
be prepared to stand criticism. Newspapers, heaven
knows, get their share of it but men engaged in govern
mental work, naturally, get more than anyone else. Gov
ernment officials should be the best prepared to stand
criticism, however. They should always keep in mind that
when the people criticise them they are being criticized by
what the constitution calls their bosses, the President
of the United States himself just now is standing an awful
lot of abuse and when the time comes that a President is
not abused it will be when government by the people has
perished from the face of the earth. Undoubtedly there
is too much uninformed criticism and too much ill-bred
criticism. Any man with any sense will stand criticism if
'it is offered in a manner that is not offensive.

FUDGE, DOUGLAS
For the reason that Anchorage and |
Seward baseball teams played a game |
in which but a total of six runs were
made, the papers of their respective
towns are wondering if there are two
such teams anywhere in the North.
Those editors should visit Douglas
Island if they desire to see real base
ball. A game here in which six runs
were made would not be called base- j
ball, but a sprinting contest.—Doug

The Beautiful Suburb
i )f Seward
WOODROW is located 6*/4 miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
