like an arrow from a bow
Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you’ve
driven a Buick for 1928.

OFFICIAL TEXT OF
GAME COMMISSION
The Fourth Annual Meeting of the
Alaska Game Commission convened
in the offices of the Commission at
Juneau on February 6. Two changes
occurred in the personnel of the Com
mission since its last meeting, Mr.
Irving McK. Reed succeeds Dr. Pres
ton S. Whitney from the Fourth Di
vision, and Mr. J. C. Widstead suc
ceeds Mr. TItos. D. Jensen from the
Second Division. Upon completion of
| its work the Commission adjourned
on February 21.
It is the desire of the Commission
to make as few changes as possible
in the present regulations. It was
J found, (however, from recommenda
tions received from trappers and other
residents interested in the "wild life
of the Territory, and from recommen
dations of the Commission's field
force, that some changes in seasons
for the taking of fur-bearing animals
were desirable to allow* trapping to be
done when the fur is more fully prime.
These changes in the regulations pro-j
mulgated under the Alaska Game Law
!
for the year beginning July 1, 1928,
are being recommended to the Secre
tary of Agriculture.

trapping of one or two seasons will
not deplete the supply to the danger
line leading to extermination. With
this end in view, it is thought best to
follow a period of one or two open
seasons with a like period of closed
seasons.
Information received from those
sections of the Territory where bea
ver were permitted to be trapped last
year, together with the knowledge of
the extraordinary large catches made
and the losses ensuing from the tak
ing of these animals by shooting, has !
caused the Commission to fear that
with the unknown outcome of the pre
sent year’s open season the danger
line is rapidly approching. This con
dition is being hastened by the ten
dency of less experienced trappers to I
follow the line of least resistence and j
trap too closely those animals found
in the more readily accessible regions,
in fact the lower reaches of some of
the best beaver streams are now al
most denuded of beaver. After care
ful consideration the Commission is
i recommending that the beaver sea
son be closed for the year 1929.
MUSKRATS
Recommendations received from
persons residing in Fur District No. 3
| indicate that the present open season
on muskrats closes too soon after the
breakup to allow a normal catch of
these animals to be made. To cor
rect t£is condition the Commission is
recommending that the season be per- !
mitted to remain open a few days
longer. x
The same condition is found in the
i Tanana River region in Fur District
No. 2 and a similar recommendation

MINK
Recommendations of residents and
available records of pelts taken indi
cate that the supply of mink in Fur
District No. 3 has become so depleted
as to justify a recommendation for
the closing of the mink season in this
district.
BLACK BEAR
I Petitions and recommendations
Trom residents of that part of Fur Dis
| trict No.' 2, north of the Alaska Range
land Ahklun Mountains, ask that the
| protection now given black bear
through the closed season from June
20 to September 1 be removed. These
. recommendations and petitions are
| based on the damage being done to
j the supply of game animals by the
l
j black bear killing young moose and
: caribou calves. The Commission rec
ommends that there be no closed sea
son on black bear in that part of Fur
District No. 2 north of the Alaska
Range and Ahklun Mountains.
Permits to Capture Fur-Bearers for
| Propagation Purposes.
That the fur farms of the Territory
! may benefit from the sale of dome3
| ticated fur-bearers for breeding stock.
! the Commission will hereafter not is
I sue any permits for the capture of
fur-bearers for propagation purposes
where these animals are to be re
; moved from the Territory. Few per
j mits of this nature have been issued
j but the increasing demand for breed
ing stock of Alaskan strains has
caused the Commission to adopt this
policy.
Some confusion appears to exist in
the interpretation of the present reg
ulations where a person desires to re
tain alive for propagation purposes,
such animals as are caught during
the regular open trapping seasons.
Animals may be captured and retain
ed alive during the regular open sea
son, but is is necessary to obtain a
permit to retain them after the close
of the open season. Such permits
may be secured upon application to
the Executive Office of the Commis
sion.
