ALASKA TRAPPERS NOW “GOATS”
By executive order the time limits on which duck
may be shot in Alaska has been reduced. It is feared
that drouth has decimated the feathered game in the
States. It will be observed that this closure order was
issued overnight, though there has been considerable
propaganda for months from \rild life preservation so
cieties.
Comes Paul G. Reddington, chief of the Bureau of
Biological Survey, accompanied by the committee on
wild life of the U. S. Senate, chief spokesman of which
is Senator Wolcott of Connecticut. They heard the peti
tion of Alasuka frontiersmen and business men. An
nounces Mr. Reddington:
“There will be a meeting of the Alaska Game Com
mission September 6. The matter can be heard by that
body, which will recommend the proper action.”
Says Senator Wolcott, from a cabin de luxe aboard
an Alaska liner:
“The Alaska Game Commission is administering the
law in a proper manner.”
It requires 90 days promulgation of on order chang
ing the trapping and hunting regulations. This order
may be promulgated by the President upon recommen
dation of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hence, should
the Game Commission show its magnanimity by grant
ing the request of the frontiersmen that they have 105
instead cf 60 days in which to take fur and the privilege,
of taking marten and beaver, it will be December before
the law can go into effect. Trappers must be on their
lines by September 15 if they would travel by water.
Hundreds of them are now laden with uncertainty as to
what the answer of the Game •Commission will be. If
the privileges asked for are granted it will be almst im
possible to get the information to the men at a distance
from lines of communication.
Two years ago a similar situation arose. On that
occasion Mr. Reddington’s bureau pleaded lack of time
in which to grant the relief asked. It remains to be
seen if the same insincere, un-American tactics will be
followed this year.
It is a simple matter for The Gateway to throw bou
quets and equally so to heave a brick; naturally, lauda
tory comment oft lights up one’s face until it shines like
a new milk pan or a full moon on a summer sea. The
herder’s sheep assert if you can’t say anything good, say
nothing. Dealing in personalities, we agree with that
wise crack. But! It seems that the only way to make
some of these Alaska bureaucrats pay a little atten
tion is to take a dirty wallop at them. Many take for
granted the roses tossed in their lap. And we prefer
to toss wreaths about, rather than thorns, if you get
what we mean.
What is wirong? Here we have the most fertile land
upon the globe; the best, and all those things necessary
to a prosperous people. Our resources are unlimited;
there is a dearth of capital; our working people, the most
intelligent, capable and energetic on earth, yet hun
dreds of thousands of unemployed! Party slavery; am
bitions; selfish politicians! Better to die like dogs than
live like slaves.
ft***********
It is reported a new tourist manager is now aboard
one of Alaska’s liners plying to the Port of Seward; the
other chap wore out a finger pointing at the hundreds
of scenic wonders. Anything to it?
It looks like there is slight hope of reforming ev
erybody but reformers.

BE ORDINARY SOON
TOKYO, Aug. 31. (JP)—Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh predicted it j
would become an ordinary matter!
for persons to fly across the Pa
cific with a regular passenger and
air mail service between the Unit
ed States and Japan.
Addressing the American-Japan
Society at a banquet in his honor,
the famous flier said at present
it seems uncommon for a person
to fly across the Pacific, but in
the time to come this will be an
ordinary matter.
