RECENT VISITOR IN SEWARD;
PRESIDENT OF AUDUBON
SOCIETY
NEW YORK, Oct. 5. (£>)—'That the
American Eagle in Alaska is disap
pearing under the bounty system in
augurated in 1917 by the Territory, is
! the report given out today by Dr. T.
, Gilbert Pearson, president of the Nat
i ional Association of Audubon Socie
! ties, who has just returned from an
| extended trip to Alaska.
| “There are many of these eagles
left,” said Dr. Pearson, “but from
what I saw and learned on all hands
it is very plain that the bird is far less
numerous than a few years ago. A
day spent hunting eagles between Ket
chikan and Haines, a distance of 88
miles, resulted in the finding of 37 of
these great birds. In other sections
of the coast I found them scarce. Of
ficial records of the bounties paid up
to August 4, 1927, as supplied me by
Karl Thiele, secretary of Alaska, show
! ed that the feet of 40,753 eagles had
been turned in for the $1 bounty
(formerly 50 cents).”
Dr. Pearson also stated that on all
i sides the eagles are regarded as des
I tructive to fish, ptarmigans, young
mountain sheep, fawns, and young
j blue foxes. “I found it very difficult,
however, to find people who had actu
ally seen eagles performing any of
these depredations, aside from eating
fish. Some observers told me that
the majority of fish taken by the
eagles was on the spawning grounds
where after the fish have performed
i the biological functions they lie in a
! dead or dying condition. As many as
! one or two hundred eagles often gath
er along the lower reaches of. a salmon
j stream. Suggestion was made to me
! at various quarters that the eagle
; had now been so reduced in numbers
| that Alaska might very well discon
i tinue the bounty. Others questioned
’whether Alaska is getting sufficient
return for the money expended in the
bounty system. The chief center of
• abundance of the bald eagle is along
the southern coast in the neighbor
hood of the salmon streams. During
| 2,000 miles gravel in the Interior of
the Yukon and Alaska I saw only one
pair of bald eagles. In the mountains
| one finds the golden eagle, which in
no way exists in such abundance as
does the bald eagle along the coast.”
(By ‘^Cannon Ball” Baker)
“Say folks, wasn’t that some chick
en dinner? I’ll say it was. You
could hardly duplicate that feed for
double the price, to say nothing of the
nifty looking “Chickens” who served
it. “Oui, Oui, Madamoiselle.
And the entertainment, Oh Boy!, it
is rumored that the boy’s at the cable
office are still trying to persuade “Big
Ben” High, to cease playing the har
monica and wash the stove polish off
his map with very little success aa
yet.. According to the last report, he
was stillgoing strong.
“Galloping” Galloway put over his
“piece” by Kipling very creditably and
got a “good hand” from the assembled
multitude.
Now what do you think of our
“Gimpy” Harris? Ain’t he the “ele
phants adanoids”? Nothing wrong
with his “loud speaker” either, he sure
put over “The court room scene” in
grand style and flourish. You know,
the writer happened to be sitting along
side of a kindly looking old lady who
was slightly deaf and when "Gimpy”
roared, “I murdered him,” she ex
claimed “Whats the matter with that
young man, did some one steal his
piece of pie ?” Of course I was pained
to think, that, there was some one in
the hall who had missed the import of
what he was trying to put across, so
“Golf clubs and baHs; Just re
ceive5.. The course is open, see
Urbach.”
I tried to explain to her, that no one
had stole that boy’s pie, (no chance)
but that he had just finished his
I “piece”, but I suspect, in fact I am al
most sure she didn’t quite get what I
said to her, because she replied, “Well
thats a shame, -why don’t they give
him another piece then”. Can you
beat that? After us Quartermaster
ginks practicing all that time to put
that piece over and then some people
can’t seem to understand. “Gimpy”
was very pleased this morning, it
seems that .some pretty young
dame, after hearing him recite, asked
her friend to give her a “shake down”
to him. You can’t never tell what
them females will do next.
Without a shadow of a doubt “Abie
Soloman” Urie won the “nickle plated
ham bone”. Abie acted and looked
his part so well, that many people re
marked that he must have missed his
vocation and that all the “stars” were
not yet in Hollywood, thank heavens.
However, many of the spectators were
mystified when he came galloping in
with his tail flying one way and his
hoofs another, until he barked joyous
ly and licked Nthe heroine’s hands and
then every one understood! immediate
ly. Many were the comments heard
on all sides, especially from the oppo
site sex, such as; “My isn't he wonder
ful,,—“Doesn’t he look natural”—
“Look at him flap his ears”—“How
did he crawl in here”—"Gracious what
a long tail he’s got”—“I wonder if he
is a real dog” and many other® all of
which were a wonderful tribute to
the successful njanner in which he
carried off his part. We are justly
proud of him.
