BIG GAME HUNTER VS ALASKA RESIDENTS
i -
The Interior Department says Alaska is becoming
recognized as second only to Africa as a “paradise” for
big game hunters. And on the other hand we read where
England, becoming alarmed at the depletion of game in
Africa by the hordes of imported big game hunters, have
raised hunting licenses to a stupendous sum; a sum which
only the very wealthy can afford.
Its all very well to grab everthing we can now, in
this day and age, but there is another side to the ques
tion, that of the pioneers of Alaska, the homesteaders,
fur farmers and miners. Should not they, the backbone
of this country, be entitled to almost everything the land
produces, in lieu of the fact they are wresting their living
from it by the sweat of their brow?
We certainly think so and hope the time is nearing
when the Territory of Alaska will control its own game
reserves. We are informed that in certain localities fox
ranchers are compelled to go many miles distance for
feed because of big game hunters driving game away. So
we cant help but ponder a bit over the Interior Depart
ments statement and we wonder if big game hunters are
more valuable to Alaska than a resident struggling to
build for himself a substantial industry or business.
If you see anyone wearing a brown derby in Seward
you might figure he is still paying an election bet.
The only advantage in listening to some of these ra
dio programs we get in Alaska is that the listener doesn’t
have to change the phonograph needle and records.
Professor Daniel of France announces that he has
succeeded in grafting a garlic and a cabbage plant, but
he doesn’t say why.
When some of these government regulations in
Alaska is extended to cigerettes we may expect to see a
strict limit to the number of coughs permitted to the car
load.
