AS ALASKAN GAME COMMISSION
(Hustings, Nob., Tribune.)
It is good to know that a bill has
tablish an Alaskan game commis
sion lor the purpose of protecting
game animals, land fur-bearing an- ;
in als, and birds in that Territory.
The bill 'provides that the Alaskan
game commission shall consist of
fne members, one member from the j
four Judicial Divisions of the Terri-j
tory each of who shall be a resident
^citizen of the district from whicn ;
lie is appointed and shall, before his
appointment, have been a resident •
for five years of Alaska, and shall
not be a Federal employee, and all
of whom shall serve one year, and
threafter one to be appointed to
years, and one to serve three years,
■and one to serve four years, and
thereafter their successors to be-ap
pointed in like manner to serve for ,
four years. The filth member shall j
bo the chief representative of the ;
Biological Survey resident in Alaska ,
and shall be the executive officer
and fiscal agent of the commission j
and shall direct the administration
of the provisions of the act and dis- ;
burse such sums as may be allotted
The bill further provides that the'
than the executive officer, shall re
ef've no compensation for their ser
vices as members thereof, except a
per deim of ten dollars for each
member for each day going to and
fiom and in actual attendance at
meetings of the commission, but the '
total salary, or per diem compensa
tion of the members from the Sec
ond Judicial Division shall not ex
ceed the sum of fifteen hundred dol
lars and that of any of 'the other
n.embers, except the executive officer
the sum of nine hundred dollars 1n'
•ar.y one fiscal year.
The bill further provides that the
members shall have authority to re
move game wardens, deputies, clerks (
and such other assistants as may be
necessary to fix their periods of ser
vice and compensation, etc.
It also gives each member <>f the
•commission, game wardens, mar-:
shals, and other officers, permission
to arrest without warrant, any per
sons in violation of the game law. !
It provides for the prohibiting of
the poisoning of birds and animals. ;
Residents of Alaska who desire
to hunt or traip would he taxed two
dollars annually for a license, but
no such license is required of native
/morn Eskimos. Indians or half
f breeds.
However, the bill would have the
non-resident big game hunter pay a
license of fifty dollars, and a non
resident trapper the same. ,
This is a .big mistake, because Al
aska has been trying to encourage
hunters from the States to do their
hunting up there. They realise that
every hunter tliat goes up in their
Territory from the States leaves
hundreds and hundreds of dollars
with them. This could be greatly
increased annually If the license
was reduced to about twenty dol
*lsrs.
.' It is carefully estimated that land
Tur-bearlng animals’ skins annually
harvested In Alaska are worth more
than two million dollars.
The .present fur and frame acts are
obsolete and are almost wholly un
workable under present conditions.
While if is absolutely necessary
that the wild life of Alaska be pro
tected, nevertheless the game laws
o'' the Territory should not be so
framed as only to favor the wealthy
Hut, take the proposed bill as a
whole, it is quite favorable for the

Anchorage recently suffering from
broken legs as a result of a fall of
snow in the face of the slide at Mile

The Treadwell operations at Mayo
during the past winter produced
4.500 tons of ore. most of which has
been hauled to Stewart river and is
in readiness for shipment as soon as
navigation open*. The production
during the winter Just ending is
slightly larger than the one preced
ing when 4,000 tons of ore were
mined. No decision on the question
ot putting in a milling plant will be
reached until neat July. It is ex
pected that the company will have
gone 300 feet further in depth by
that time and will be in a better po
sition to determine the need for
milling on the ground.
