ALASKA’S PALM BEACH
For the second time this year young
Jack Morton plunged into the bay lor
a swim, but today he was accompa- j
nied by Sydney Henrikson. The
boys swam several :rm&s from the
beach to the floating dock, frollicking
about like a couple of porpoise and
I
squirting water like whales. After
emerging the boys struck out for
home, and all that could be seen was
a streak of dust going up Fourth ave

in answer to a query. ■
region a climate milder than New ■
York’s, Finley said. And in the sum- j
mer thousands of birds, animals and
fish swarm to Alaska.
Islands Pay Interest
A summer resort where “women
choose their own husbands” was his i
i
description of the Pribolof 1=1 mils, i
included with Alaska in the $15,000,- j
000 purchase from Russia. These !
is’ands alone more than pay the in- i
terest on the investment, Finley said. j
“If Japan owned the region, the re- j
sources would be developed to return i
i
millions where U. S. does virtu^ly j
nothing.” he asserted. “The LT. S. j
has not been forced to cope with !
crowded populations.”
Short summer seasons speeds j
breeding, Finley said. For example, i
the life of the fur seal. The buils. ;
leaching maturity at six, come in ■
from tlie deep sea to establish them- j
selves on the beaches of the Pribolof
Islands. The cows come in, choose j
their husbands, and a harem is e=~ j
tablished on the seashore. One bn"
will often hav« as many as 50 wives.
And the bulls often sneak to other
harems to steal an extra wife. There ;
!
is great -competition nrd fierce bat-j j
ties result. For v e ’• onths the bn1* i •
guards ais harem, n a trier eating nor

‘rom two to :ve years old, called
bachelors, stay off shore, but they
octen try to elope with a wife and |
must battle with the bulls for their j
Conservation Under Way
Conservation of the seal industry
is being accomplished, Finley said, j
\ treaty between the U. S. 'and Eng
land and Japan, giving the l'. 8. the
seal privileges in return for a distri
j button of pro:its on a 75-15-10 per
! "ent basis, ends this year. The in
dustry's future depends upon new
treaty provisions, he said.

i in summer, salmon fisheries come i
| to Alaska and often can as many as
150,000 cases of fish. Under the
urge of the spawning instinct, the
red salmon comes from salt water to
the headwaters of island streams to
reproduce. The female digs a hole
in sandbars and deposits about 2,000
eggs. Then the male and female die i
The young swim out to sea thous
ands of miles, returning in four years
to reproduce and die.
The possibilities of Alaska are
tremendous, Finley said. But the
study of nature life is the most fas
cinating thing in the world, to him.
“More and more Americans are turn
ing to the outdoors for recreation.
The auto has made it possible. The
tendency is a healthy condition and
love of nature will build real citi
zens,” he said.
