PROTECTING THE BIRDS
All lovers of birds should be gratified to have noted
the recent passage by unanimous vote of both houses of
congress of the migratory bird refuge bill. This act pro
vides for the establishment of refuges in various parts
of the United States, where the wild birds which fly
hack and forth, may have permanent feeding grounds
and protection from predatory persons. It is estimated
that between 100 and 125 of these sanctuaries will event
ually be established.
Seward Day, Saturday March 30, commemorating
the signing of the treaty of purchase of Alaska by Wil
liam H. Seward, Secretary of State, on March 30, 1867,
should be observed in a most fitting manner by Alaskans
who have adopted this wonderful land as their home.
For the day to come and go is not enough. For at least
half a day schools are closed throughout the Territory.
Would it not be more in keeping if a general holiday be
declared and observed? We think so.
