PROTECTION?

tory and the bear had killed som<
j of their stock. He granted a kind
' ly concession to the stockmen. H<
; gave it to them as a right thai
1 they could camp around the edge;
■ of their herds and if a bear cam(
within half a mile they could shoo
him even in the closed season.
Well, that didn’t set so well witt
1 these Alaska stock men and ii
i raised a hornet’s nest Outside
. Steward Edward White, in th<
Saturday Evening Post, and Rob
ert Frothingham, in several jour
nals, and other writer-sportsmen
took up their trusty pens and type
writers and hurled maledictions at
us poor, benighty nuts up here for
i! wanting to kill off the Kodiak
brownie—the biggest carnivora in
the world. They said he was a
? gigantic specise of Ursus, some
' thing-or-other, and it would be a
'* gigantic shame to kill them ail
! off so nobody could hunt him in
' the future. They said we couldn’t
raise cattle and sheep on Kodiak
1 Island and if we could, there was
' plenty of range elsewhere to fol
■ low our foolish pursuit. They said
1 Kodiak Island should be set aside
I as a game preserve for Kodiak bear
just like a zoo in a park. They
laughed at the idea that the big
brown bear is a killer. They
wanted him protected up here,
I nothwithstanding the fact that
the government and the stockmen
of the West have been conducting
a campaign of many years against
the bear as a predatory animal.
This controversey stirred up
other waters. Shall we say shal
lower or deeper? The rocking
chair Nature Lovers of Way Down
East sat up and began to take
notice. Some one recalled that
Alaska is paying a bounty on eag
les. What ho! and horrors! The
grand old national bird. Think of
it! Should that noble emblem of
our national state be sacrificed on
the altar of the greed of a few
misguided souls who are trying to
develop Alaska, a Territory one
fifth the size of the United States?
No, a thousand times no. Those
people up there don’t know what
they are doing. Pretty soon, if we
ever make that trip to Alaska, we
won’t see that noble bird soaring
above the beetling crags with his
eagle eye cocked.
civcijuuuy gui, cuu«.-eyea tnen it
seems. The Audobon Society start
ed a nation-wide movement to
force the Alaska Territorial Legis
lature to repeal it’s law on eagle
bounty. Those birds must be saved
although they pack off lambs and
fox puppies and fish till Hell won’t
have it. Then they got to talk
ing out sea lions. For some un
known and totally unexplainable
reason the nature lovers put
through a protective measure on
. sea lions. Its an animal that has
I absolutely -no decorative or com
mercial purpose in life but each
day gorges 30 to 50 pounds of fish
good for human consumption.
These ideas originated in the
eastern States from people who
had never been in Alaska or who
had made a brief sight-seeing
trip. They now go ahead as calm
ly as though we Alaskans don’t
exist. Although we are trying to
develop this country and make
our homes here we are ignored and
our feeble protests that we know
our wn business are dismissed as
so much wushwah. We are sup
posed to have no word in the
matter although the* bears kill our
cattle and sheep, the eagles clutch
our fox and lambs and the sea
lions swallow our fish. The bears,
the eagles and the sea lions are
noble animals and must be pre
served for posterity.
If one has a sense of humor it
would give him a chuckle.
Supposing, for instance, that we
Alaskans way up here should pro
test against the killing of rattle
snakes in Arizona or Utah or New
Mexico. Suppose we should insist
on a period of protection on them
so they might be preserved to pos
terity? Suppose eagles were so
plentiful in New England that the
farmers couldn’t raise chickens or
lambs or foxes. Would we have
a right to ask that they put no
bounty on them for fear they
might not be preserved to poster
ity? Suppose we Alaskans should
! ask Arizona to put a protective
clause in their laws for mountain
lions? How soon would the an
swer come sizzling back over the
wires? Why, in the name of all
that is sensible should the govern
ment be spending millions for the
extermination of predatory ani
mals in the States and issuing
protective measures for predatory
animals in Alaska?
But aside from eagles and sea
lions it was bear that I started
out to talk about.
In the first place, if they got
the Marine Corps, the Navy and
the standing Army, they could not
“extinct” the Westward Alaska
brownie that roams and gorges in
the fastnesses of the mountains of
the Peninsula and the Island of
