INDIMI TRICK DETECTED
FISHERIES DEPIRTMENT
The federal department of fish
eries has at last broken up the seal
snout racket, says the Prince Ru
pert News.
The government has been pay^
a bounty of $3 per nose for hair '
seals slaughtered off the west
coast. The hair seals have been
proved to be destructive to the sal
mon run and other valuable com
mercial fish, and for that reason
the government rewards hunters
who reduce the herds. The noses
are sent as proof that the seals
have been killed.
In the past the Indians, who
have been the chief claimants for
rewards, have sent in their con
signment of hair seal noses in
small boxes, a dozen or so, and even
less, at a time. When a shipment of
600 noses arrived recently, officials
were puzzled. Either a mighty
hunter had succeeeded in getting a
far greater number than had ever
before been accomplished, or else
the hair seals had suddenly become
more numerous. Suspicions arose
when the Indians who turned in
the large consignment said they
would accept half the bounty if the
government could not afford to pay
the entire sum owing. The payment
was deferred.
Meanwhile, reports brought back
by sea lion hunters helped to solve
the mystery. Sea lions are slaught
ered off the west coast as well as
hair seals because of the destruc
tion they cause among salmon and
other fish. The sea lion hunters
were surprised to find large num
bers of sea lion pups whose snouts
had been cut off. Examination sub
sequently showed that the noses
of hair seals and young sea lions
are practically identical. Experts
have discovered a way of distin
guishing them, however, and all
noses received in the future will
not only be counted but subjected
to a severe test. The Indians have
been warned that sea lion snouts
will not recieve a bounty when
masqueraded as hair seals.
