years.
' There has apparently been a
slight decrease in the number
of furbearing animals taken
during the past year which, no
doubt, is due somewhat to the
shortening of the trapping
seasons, but on the other hand
the pelt value is equal or
slightly greater than is for
mer years.

, The Commission appreciates
the hearty interest which Al
askans are showing in the wild

nounces that its policy is that
of seeking cooperation and sup
port of the people in this work,

the custodians for the people
of Alaska of the public wild

REPUBLICANS CONDEMN
JUDGE RITCHIE
Accuse Him of Trying
To Wreck Party
Following the removal of A.
G. Thompson, republican, as U.
S. Commissioner, without cause
and the appointment of a dem
ocrat to succeed him, the Re
publican Club of Anchorage
severaly condemned E. E. Richie
as U. S. Judge of the Third
Division.
The Resolution Adopted
Be it resolved by the Third
Division Republican Club of
Anchorage, Alaska,
That republicans cannot fail
to recognize a political signi
ficance in the recent action of
the judge of the district court
of the Third Division, in re
moving Arthur G. Thompson as
commissioner of Anchorage pre
cinct and appointing a dem
ocrat as his successor;
That the dismissal, following
the election, of republican com
missioners in the two principle
towns of Anchorage and Juneau,
by the district judges of the
Third and First Divisions, and
the appointment as their suc
cessors of well-known and pro
minent democrats, must be tak
en as a penalty upon party
loyalty and as inviting the
charge of attempting to des
troy the republican party in
Alaska.
That the executive commit
tee of this club, be authorized
to take such action, conform
able to this resolution, as may
seem needful.
Adopted this 20th day of
January, 1927.
Serious Charges by Speakers
The speakers who followed
stated that attorneys friendly
to Delegate Sutherland now
hesitated, in consequence of the
alleged state of mind of Judge
Ritchie, to try cases before him.
It was said that a number of
cases were dismissed by attor
neys who felt this way.
Representative Ben A. Grier
Representative Ben A. Grier
assured the club that he was
heartily in accord with the re
solution and was glad the ac
tion had been taken by the
club.
Representative Sumner Smith
Representative Sumner Smith
was one who thought the res
olution was not strong enough.
He said that he and Judge
Ritchie had been on the friend
liest of terms and that he had
held the judge in high regard
until the summary removal of
Commissioner Thompson with
out cause.
Senator Arthur Frame
Senator Frame said he agreed
with all that had been said
about the alleged unfitness of
Judge Ritchie. He spoke also
of the judge's attitude toward
Anchorage, stating that he be
lieved it to be unfriendly.
