NEED FOR GAME WARDEN
As pointed out by the Seward Chamber of Commerce
there is much to recommend the placing of a game warden
in this district, which might be said to be the centre of
big game hunting, and thereby necessitatinig closer su
pervision than others portions of Western Alaska.
Of the big game hunters frequenting Alaska, fully 90
per cent of them hunt on the Kenia peninsula, coming and
going thru Seward. As a matter of convenience both for
guides and hunters there should be a man stationed at
this point whose co-operation with the warden located at
Anchorage would insure full protection of game, law ob
servance and better efficiency in the general administa
tion of the game laws.
While the Game Commission has an excellent officer
in Charles Cadwallader, the duties imposed are far too
onerous for any one man to fill them properly. The ter
ritory embraced in Mr. CadwalladeFs administration ex
tends far north of Anchorage and takes in the entire Cook
Inlet country. It is impossible for one man to even partly
patrol this great area however energetic he might be.
Instead of regulations aimed to at added penalties for
game violations and added burdens of taxation, it would
appear more logical to provide a police force of sufficient
numbers to enforce the law.
A court has decided that all income tax money collect
ed from bootleggers must be returned. Gauged by dis
closures in Washington it would appear that they come
under the classification of givernmental employes.
After having made millions of dollars and built up a
world-wide reputation portraying the ludicrous side of
matrimony, Charlie Chaplin has just discovered that mat
rimony is not a joke. r
Wrhen the lawyers and court officials get thru with
the Chaplin millions, Charlie may be compelled to go back
to that beanery swamping job, so vividly presented in
many of his comedies.
The only complaint the sourdoughs aboard the S- S.
Northwestern have is that the skipper did not land ’em at
Prince Rupert where the Scotch does not v/ear kilts—or
doesn’t kill.

It is something you shouldn’t miss
We have to pay a large extra fee to be able to show this great
feature in Seward. Always in the past, when we had to pay so much
more for a special feature, we have had to charge 75c to get our
money back, but the town is a little larger now, and so we have de
cided to take a chance at the regular big feature price of 50c for
adults and 25c for kids, in the hope that enough more people will
come at the lower figure to cause the receipts to equaf the past higher
Price. THE MANAGEMENT.
