SHEEP RESERVE
IS UNCHANGED
As there seems to be some mis
understanding of the regulations
of the Alaska Game Law relative
to the sheep and goat reserve on
the Kenai Peninsula by some of the
residents of Seward and Anchor
age it is desired by the Alaska
Game Commission that the re
serve as outlined in regulation
fourteen on page 14 of the 1934
circular is still in effect, namely
the Western boundary of the re
serve follows the one hundred and
fiftieth meridian.
This reserve was created a num
ber of years ago to permit the de
pleted herds of both species to re
cover from the inroads made dur
ing construction of the Alaska
Railroad and the result is gratify
ing in that increased numbers of
sheep and goats are seen in this
area.

ploy the natives so far as possible
in doing this work. This will pro
bably mean that the work cannot
be done by contract, but must be
carried out under the direct sup
ervision of the government by day
labor, and materials produced in
Alaska, such as lumber, should be
used as far as practicable and
consistent with economical con
struction. In this connection it j
may be well to call your attention
to the really excellent work that I
has been done by the natives at j
Metlakatla, particularly in their!
town hall. This was designed, and j
all of the work was done, by the j
natives themselves, and the build- j
ing would be a credit to the people 1
of any community, native or white.
Unfortunately the natives have
had little opportunity for doing
modern construction work in Al
aska. The fact that so many of
them are able to build excellent,
| well designed and seaworthy boats,
is an indication of their real tal
| ent.”
The report in Washington is
j that Dr. Philip S. Smith is to be
; appointed as Alaska representative
j of the Public Works Administra
' tion.
! Dr. Smith, who is now in the
1 Territory is chief of the Alaskan
1 branch of the Geological Survey.
In connection with the rumor
i it is said that Dr. Smith will p-ro
: bably remain in Alaska during his
tenure of office. Whether he will
continue his duties as chief of the
Alaskan branch is not known.
He will be sort of a liason of
i ficer between Federal, Territorial
and Municipal officials in Alaska
and the Public Works Administra
i tion.
{ Appointment of an advisory
board for Alaska similar to the
ones now functioning in the
states may be made, according to
information received by Delegate
| Dimond, and if that expectation
is correct the board and Dr. Smith
will work in conjunction.

Many queries have come to the i
Delegate about public buildings i
and rivers and harbors projects.
Army engineers have approved a j
sizeable list of rivers and harbors I
projects in Alaska, but no funds \
have been alloted by the Public j
: Works Administration for any such I
projects anywhere within the Unit
! ed States.
Almost the same holds true with j
j reference to buildings.t Approval
I has been given for the construc
; tion of very few public buildings.
