After nearly two months of
herd and rapid work, the new
residence and fishing lodge of
Lew Bishop on Russian River,
is ready for roofing and work on
the interior, according to Col
McDougal and Alfred Ander
son, who have just come in from
the job. A shipment of windowr
sashes and frames went out last
Saturday and will soon be in
place.
Bishop, it will be remembered,
had the misfortune to lose a new
kdge he had just completed
this fall, two days after he had
moved into it. With it went the
old lodge near at hand and
practically all Bishop’s possess
ions as well as crops and fox
teed. Hardly anything was sav
ed, excepting the foxes penned
away from the house. Nothing
daunted and banking on a rep
utation already established of
having one of the finest outing
places for sportsmen and offering
some of the best fishing and
hunting in the world. Bishop was
starting a new building before
the embers of the old had cooled.
He will be in town in a few
weeks with fox skins. He will pelt
more animals this season on ac
count of the scarcity of fox feed
and to enable him to push work
on the new residence.

TOTAL 40,068
The sealing industry on the Pri
ibilof Islands a government mon
oply, carried on under the pro
visions of the North Pacific Seal
| Convention for the preservation
and protection of the fur seals of
the north Pacific Ocean, declares
Gov George A. Parks in his annual
report to the Secretary of Inter
ior the Juneau Empire quotes
Sealing and foxing operations
as well as work in connection
the upkeep of buildings and the
extension of improved roads, are
performed by natives under the
direction of a staff of white em
ployees.
In return for their services the
natives are provided with all the
necessities of life, including med
ical and educational facilities. Al
so. they receive cash payments at
'• ■> rate of 75 cents for each seal
skin and $5 for each fox skin
taken. Such payments, together
with bonuses to the foreman and
a cook, amounted to $33,066 for
sealskins taken in the calendar
year 1929 and fox skins taken in
the season of 1928-29. In addition j
to the other resident natives, 32
temporary workmen from the j
Aleutian Islands and the main-:
land were employed to assist
sealing activities and construction!
work on St. Paul Island during
the summer of 1929.
There were 33.216 fur-seal skins
taken on St. Paul Island and 6.
852 on St George Island in 1929,
a total of 40.068. This was the lar •
! gest take since the Government
assumed management of the herd
in 1910 and also larger than any
annual take since 1889. the final
year of the sealing privilege to a
commercial company when 109.000
skins Were taken.
As the hidings am restricted to
3-year-cld male seals, provision
for the future breeding stack is
mode each year fey reserving a
suitable number of that age class.
In 1929, 8,035 3-y w-old males
were marked and : released.
No changes were in the
regulations previously , issued for
the protection of fur seals and sea
otters- An executive order was is
sued under date of January 14
1999, to include the vessels added
to the Bureau’s Alaska service
since the sumer of 1924 among
those specially designated to take
part in the fur-seal patrol.
A new edition of the circular
containing the regulations affect
ing walrusses and sea lions was
issued as of May 1, 1930, extending
for two years the prohibition on
the killing of these animals, but
taking no other changes in the re
gulations.

BELIEF EDOM CURSE
Of fflSMIOS
A battle Creek physician says,
"Constipation is responsible for
more misery than any other
cause.”
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall Or
derlies has been discovered. This
tablet attracts water from the
system into the lazy, dry, evacuat- j
ing bowel system call colon. The j
water loosens the dry food waste j
and causes a gentle, thorough, na- j
tural movement without forming
a habit or ever increasing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipa
