FIVE CENTS FOR TAIL, GREAT HELP
Out in the Iliamna district a source of income ap
preciated by the residents, particularly the natives, is
the reward paid them for exterminating the socalled
predatory trout. They receive five cents per trout tail
and though the aggregate total is not so large, never
theless the extra money has helped many over the sea
son. If it is true trout are predatory, the Territorial
legislature should take immediate action in extermi
nating them from salmon streams.
And by the same token it would seem a new indus
try, canning of trout, might also be instituted at the
same time. It seems a pity good trout go mostly to dogs.
************
OVERLOOKING SOMETHING?
“Farm relief” may come from an entirely unex
pected source as the central idea if the American game
policy is put into effect.
The idea is adequate compensation in some form to
ranchers and homesteaders, who practice environment
control to increase game on their lands.
In the East some farmers are making more money
from selling hunting rights and by-products, such as
board, eggs, butter, fresh meat and other products,
than they do from their crops. Down in Texas farmers
who are actually producing game, are getting as high
as $4 a day for hunting privileges.
There are four classes of game and game land, ac
cording to the classification of the policy, which advo
cates the landowner who practices game management
be “compensated directly or indirectly for producing a
game crop and for the privilege of harvesting it.” These
Game; and Migratory Game, which inhabit all classes
are “Farm Game; Forest and Range Game; Wilderness
of land.”
There may he a thought in ail this for Alaskans liv
ing beyond the limits of a municipality. While no one
could hardly charge for hunting near their wilderness
homes, and get away with it long, yet inducements for
the sportsmen to make their place a base for operations
might not be amiss. It seems there should be a more
direct policy, or cooperation, between hunters and the
out-of-town resident of Alaska from which both might
reap benefits. Each desires something.
Seems like everyone is taking a “shot” at the Duce
these past few days. First was Butler, now its O'Brian.
Are they cooking up another war to relieve the unem
ployment situation and also, to make some more coin
of the realm?
The more we think about Capt. Ralph R. Guthrie,
former officer in charge of this area for the Signal
Corps. U. S. Army, now stationed at the Presidio, the
more we are convinced with the old anny saying “It
didn't require an Act of Congress to make him a gentle
man.” A kind, thoughtful and considerate man is he.
***#*«*$*#**
Immigration officials believe the Soviet is responsible
for that dispatch of last week from Mexico City charg
ing Alaska was holding 5,000 peons in slavery. But
what about the 46,000 whites and natives?
*** *********
Donald B. MacMillan, explorer, may learn all about
glaciers from Alaska's “Glacier Priest,” Fr. Bernard R.
Hubbard, if he wishes, and thereby omit making his
proposed Baffin Land jaunt. Glaciers don't baffle the
“Padre of the Glaciers.”
************
Certain parts of the country Outside have been
threatened for a long time with a water famine, but
Alaskans need not sympathize with them because, no
doubt, there is no shortage of other liquids.

Investigation of the peanut industry now under
way was possibly instigated by peanut politicians.
