1917 INCOME
FROM SEALS
TO BE $750,000
The probable income of the govern
ment from the seal herd in the fiscal
year ending June 20 next will be up
ward of $750,000, according to Hugh
H. Smith. United States fish commis
sioner, and it will increase steadily
thereafter. It is the belief of Smith
that the time is coming when the gov
ernment will derive a net income of a
million dollars a year from the herd
without any impairment of it.
In addition, there is the income
from foxes in Alaska, now amounting
to about $60,000 a year. From seals
and foxes the government is now mak
ing two or three times as much as is
appropriated by congress for the
Alaska work of the department of
commerce.
The total number of seals estimat
ed to be in the herd in 1015. when
an official count was made, was 368,
872, as compared with 204.687 in 1014.
268,305 in 1013 and 215.738 in 1012.
The number in 1016 was 417.320.
In 1012 0.228 pups of the season
were branded on the Pribilof islands.
Subsequent observations made on
these branded animals have been pro
ductive of valuable information in re
gard to the natural history and
growth of seals. Some of these ani
mals were observed in 1013 when
they were noted in large numbers.
The number that returned in 1915 was
so large in comparison with th© total
number of seals under observation, as
to indicate a lower mortality in the
first three years of a seal’s life than
had ordinarily been assumed.
The plan of marketing the seal
skins in this country, instead of send
ing them abroad, has been a marked
success, according to government ex
perts, who point out that a reliable
market now exists at St. Louis which
is well supported. This home market
idea was first given definite impulse
in 1915. Seal and fox skins are now
dressed and dyed in St. Louis and the
annual sales are attended by many
home buyers.

SEATTLE. Tuesday, May 8.—Mrs.
U. T. Hoag, approaching motherhood,
was seized by a thug while on the
street Saturday night and was threat
ened with the horrible fate of Mrs*
Wehn. who was attacked and murder
ed in a gulch about a month ago. Mrs.
Hoag was draggl'd into a vacant lot
and outraged, her assailant making
his escape and is still at Urge.

A trapper near Teikhell reports
that a pair of grouse have spent the
winter in and around his cabin, sleep
ing at night in the snow in his door
yard. It is believed the birds were
driven to civilization by the unusual
ly large number of lynx in the woods
this year. The birds are as tame as
domesticated fowls.
