of wild life gathered at the C. F. Uice residence in this city and welded
thenrcivrs into an orgenitalion that may become the tnoet powerful
factor in this Northern territory in the conservation and preservation of
Fur. Fish and Game—one of Alaska’s igreatedt assets, and more important
than any because of the fact that if given adequate protection rt will
replenish Itself and continue to.be the same undiminished asset for years
and decades to come.
Fur Warden, Frank Dufresne, opened the meeting with ,an in
troductory talk, sketching briefly and pointedly a number of ways in
which an association of thia kind could work for the betterment of ,con
ditions. At the conclusion of hie talk he asked for opinions and .views
by those present “who an old timers in the country were much better
qualified to speak on the subject."
More than a dozen addressc-d the meeteing and .some very inter
esting discussions followed. Among the speakers were Henry Burgh,

L. J. Palmer of the .Biological Surrey toM how game and fur
measures were introduced into Congress at Washington and woke of the
great hlep this association could be to those in Washington gs well aa
to thoee in the territory' -in the framing of better laws and regulations for
the country. ,
Frank Miller, representing Teller at the meeting made some im
portant suggestions, as also did H. R. Wells of Kougarok and Charles
Blackman who has been identified with numerous similar organisations
in the western States.
The work of organizing proceeded swiftly. A voluntary collection
far iu excess of what will be required was taken up for incidental expen
ses until such a time as .the temporary executive committee oould draft
a suitable Constitution ^nd By-Laws to be submitted at the next meeting.

HENRY BURGH.,.Vice-President.
J. J. STOKES...Secretary.
J. S. STANGROOM. ,.Treasurer.
There can be no doubt in the minds of those present at this meet
ing; of the immensity of the venture upon which they launched them
selves. As soon as the organisation is perfected Invitations will be sent
to every little village and pod Atom the Ynkon northward. ,An area
one-quarter as large as the whole United. States will be dotted with mem
bers of the association each one alive and interested in the wild life of
his section. These outlying members w'ill be asked to /correspond regu
larly with headquarters at Nome ps to game, fur and fish conditions
about them. In return, the association’s activities here will be made
known to them.

AMUNDSON TO RECIEVE
REGULAR MAIL SERVICE*
BT REGULAR CARRIER
A facetious official in Washingtor
connected »*ith the posi office depart
ment, has issued a statement, which
has been officially promulgated by
the Department, which reads as fol
“This is to inform, Mr. Amundsen
Arctic explorer at Wainwright, Al
aska, that he had better put a mail
box on his igloo and do it quickly.
If he does not Mr. Ned Nusunginer,
his postman, haring heard of the
no box, no bail order of Assistant
Fostmaster General Bartlett, wiwll
breeze right by Mr. Amundsen's
igloo some morning in his dog sled
and the explorer will not hare a
chance to get any more mall for
about two months.
“The Postofflce Department has
jnst made its annual authorisation j
of emergency mail Service for *50
miles from Kotzebue to Point Bar-,
row, Alaska. Wainwright, where
Amundsen has already settled down
according to press reports, to enjoy
a delightful winter, is a suburb of
Point Barrow, which is famous as
the ultimate in postolllces. It is
but a stone's throw from the North
“Mr. Amundsen really ought to
treat this postman well. He ought
to gire him a whale steak for din
ner and a cup of warm coffee, for
it is certainly costing the govern
ment enough to deliver mail at the
door of his snow bungalow. The
order states that the carrier shall
transport mail not to exceed 500
pounds on the northward trip and
mail not to exceed 250 pounds on
the return trip at >1.50 a pound.
The trip costs $1,125 if full weight
in carried. That is merely the cost
of the last leg of the journey of Mr.
Amundsen’s mail. There is the ex
pensive steamboat transport from
the States, then the journey to Fair
banks hy rail and another sled haul
to Kotzebue by way of Nome.
“So. Mr. Amundsen, be good to
ycur postman and mail early and
often."—Exchange.
