extermination, that the slaughter is
needless, useless, and inhuman, and
should be stopped at once.
On the other hand, here and there,
people acquainted with conditions in
Alaska have declared that man would
never be able to kill all the eagles in
the Territory. Attention was called i
to the fact that Alaska is an area |
about equal in size to eight of the
mid-western states; that it is largely
made up of forest-waste, unscalable >
mountains, and tundras; that the pop-:
illation of the country, including In-!
dians, does not exceed 50,000 people,!
|
and it is ridiculous to think that they j
could exterminate the eaple, today
abundant all over such a vast Terri
tory. The people of Alaska were sup
posed to know their own business
and the eagle was undoubtedly tre
mendously destructive to man’s in
terest or the Territory would not go
to the expense of paying bounties on,
them. Such in short is the argument
advanced favoring the bounty.
Audubon Directors Take Action
These conflicting opinions on the
part of the public caused the Board

Alaska
visit Alaska, even for a brief time,
and gather such information as might
jbe available on the subject.
I therefore sailed from Seattle the
last of July, making brief calls in
Alaska at Ketchikan, Wrangell, Ju
neau, Haines, Skagway, Cordova, Val
dez, Seward, Anchorage, McKinley
Hark, Nenjana, Fairbanks, Rampart,
Eagle, and Fort Yukon. At all of
these points, as well as when thrown
with Alaskans on steamships or in
railway trains, I gathered what in
formation I could in reference to the
destructiveness and killing of eagles.
I also talked with people, acquainted
with conditions in Alaska, pt Carcross,
White Horse, and Dawson, in the
neighboring Territory of Yukon.
What Alaskans Think
The attitude of mind ot the many
people with whom I talked were va
ried. First, there was a small num
ber who were very bitter against the
eagle; second, an even & Jler num
ber who felt that the ea^le was not
particularly injurious to man’s inter
ests; third, and by far the largest
percentage, those who knew little
about the subject and were not speci
ally interested, but presumed the
eagle was a bad actor because they
had heard other people say so, and
because there wras »»nty on it.
From those of the .j classes I
sought to secure Aiatements of any
specific evidence they might have
available tending to bear out their
contentions.
A prominent man of Ketchikan was
wholly against the eagle because, as
tie claimed, it was very destructive
:o young foxes, and he was interested
:n one or more enterprises of raising
Rue foxes on neighboring islands.
Being closely questioned, he admitted
ie had never seen an eagle catch a
roung fox,, but insisted that the men
ictually in charge of the Fox Islands
said they did catch them. Another
nan in his office was also very pro
lounced in condemning the eagle, but
lpon close questioning all he would
state was that he had seen an eagle
swoop at a ptarmigan, and had, on
wo occasions, seen an eagle kill a
;ull. Gulls, it may be remarked, are

not much more popular in Alaska
than are the eagles. I found plenty
of people who had seen eagles catch
fish; in fact, I saw this myself, a
sight I have witnessed many times
in different parts of the United States
i during the past 35 years.
A trapper on the Yukon River said
he had known eagles to destroy ani
mals that were caught in traps. Wil
liam L. Finley told, of finding the hind
legs of a young caribou in an eagle’s
nest. “However,” he added, “the car
ibou fawn may have been dead when
the eagle picked it up.”
One of the best-informed men on
the habits of the eagle with whom
I talked is G. Willett, now of the Los
Angeles Museum, a naturalist who
has spent the greater part of 15 years
in Alska. At my request he placed
in writing an account of some of his
observations from which I quote.
“Bird-lovers living in the States, to
whom the sight of an eagle is an
event, can hardly conceive of the
great numbers of the birds to be seen
along the Alaskan coast. In this re
gion the eagle probably outnumbers
all other raptorial birds a thousand
