By ALASKA URGED
JUNEAU, Dec. 20.—Gov. Strong,
discussing the Alaska game laws in
his annual report to the secretary of
the interior says:
“The control of the game of Alaska
is vested in congress, and not in the
territorial legislature although un
successful attempts have been made
to transfer such control to the legis
lature where it seems to be it natural
ly belongs. When what is known as
the Alaska organic act was passed
by congress in 1912, congress re
served to itself, among many other
powers, the right to legislate for the
protection of the game animals, birds
and water-fowls in Alaska.
“The first comprehensive game law
for the protection of the game in
Alaska was passed in 1902, taking ef
fect Asgust 1, 1903. This law receiv
ed important amendments, iii 1908, but
it has never been entirely satisfactory
in its operation in many respects, be
cause of changing conditions and the
fact that some of its provisions are
such that it has been found difficult
to enforce them as strictly as it
could be desired.
Legislature Proper Authority.
“It cannot be doubted that the peo
ple of Alaska are vitally interested
in the conservation of the game of
the territory, and therefore it is sub
mitted that as the legislature directly
represents the people, and being ac
quainted with conditions in all the
different sections of the territory, is
better qualified to enact laws for th^
protection of game than is congress.
This is a plain proposition that should
not need demonstration. Three dis
tinct departments exercise control
over the game, fish and fur-bearing
animals. These include the depart
ment of agriculture, the department
of commerce and the governor’s office.
“The department of commerce,
through the bureau of fisheries exer
cises complete control over the fish
and the marine fur-bearing animals;
the department of agriculture over the
terrestial fur-bearing animals, while
the latter department and the gover
nor of Alaska share in the operation
of the game laws. The governor of
Alaska is supposed to execute the law,
but the secretary of agriculture pro
vides the regulation thereunder.
Responsibility Divided.
“The governor appoints the game
wardens and guides and issues hunt
ing and shipping game licenses, but
the secretary of commerce issues per
mits for the capture and shipment of
live fur-bearing animals and the sec
retary of agriculture permits for the
shipment of live game animals, birds
and trophies for scientific purposes.
“Therefore, does it not appear that
the Alaska game law is a thing won
derfully made if not fearfully ? This
divided responsibility does not work
for efficiency in the enforcement of
its provisions add regulations, nor
does it increase respect for the law
on the part of the people.
“There are other peculiarities in
the Alaska game law. For instance,
the law classifies the Alaska brown
bear as a game animal, and he is rig
idly protected, while his inoffensive
blood brother, the black bear, is a fur
bearing animal, and esteemed not
worthy of protection. The latter an
imal is not vicious. The brown bear
is peculiarly so, and a considerable
number of people, including both na
tives and whites, have been his prey.
He is rapacious and predacious, and
he is estemed to be worthy of a co..
gressional iron cross, presumably oe
cause of his fierce and warlike dis
position.
“This animal should not be given
protection and I, therefore, again
wish to renew the recommendations
carried in my several annual reports
that the control of game animals of
Alaska be vested in the territorial leg
islature, where it seems to me it man
ifestly belongs. It is safe to say that
an Alaska legislature will not protect
the brown bear.”
Wood—Phone 40-R.

DREDGING ON
CACHE CHEEK
In a recent issue of the Mining and
Scientific Press, of San Francisco,
Sumner S. Smith, federal mine inspec
tor for Alaska, gives an informing
article concerning the dredging oper
ations' on Cache creek, which is, in
part, as follows:
“During the past spring the Cache
Creek Dredging company installed a
dredge on Cache creek, which is the
first serious attempt at this type of
mining in this part of Alaska.
The dredge equipment and timber
were assembled at Seattle in June,
1915, and towed to Anchorage on the
old sailing-vessel Garden City. The
stern-wheel steamer Lois was also
built at Seattle and brought to An
chorage at the same time under her
own steam, as the facilities for hand
ling barges across Cook inlet and up
the Susitna and Kentna rivers were
totally inadequate at that time. At
Anchorage, the equipment was trans
ferred to barges that were pushed up
the Susitna and Yentna rivers to Mc
Dougall. Here the dredge-timbers
were framed and during the follow
ing winter (December to April) the
entire outfit was hauled on bob-sleds
from this point to Cache creek, 12
miles above its mouth, where the
dredge was assembled this spring and
started operations on July 7.
The creek is comparatively shallow,
the average depth being approximate
ly six feet, so the dredge was built
with a large hull to secure a shallow
draft. It is 87 feet long, 54 foot beam
and 7 feet deep. The planks on the
bottom are 4 by 12, those on the sides
6 by 12 and those on the deck 3 by
12. The winch deck is 30 feet above
the main deck, and the pilot deck 12
feet above this.
There are 65 7-cubic feet close-con
nected buckets with manganese-steel
lips; and, while the dredge has a ca
pacity of 8,000 cubic yards per 24
hours, the management has based its
plans on 2,000 cubic yards only, on
account of the shallowness of the
ground and the number of boulders.
Though the latter have retarded the
speed of digging, they have not prov
ed a serious hindrance, as they are
not large enough to require special
apparatus for handling them. With
the present number of buckets, the
dredge will dig 30 feet below the
water line, thought it is improbable
that it will be called upon to work at
anywhere near this depth on this
portion of the creek.
The fine gravel from the bucket
falls through an 11-inch grizzly into
a 48-inch flume, 108 feet long. The
grade of the flume is adjustable,
though the best results are obtained
by keeping it at an inclination of
about 1 1-8 inch per foot. The rif
fles are 2 by 4’s capped with 5-8 inch
manganese-steel plates and are set
1 3-4 inches apart. A 6-inch centrif
ugal pump supplies wash water at the
grizzly and an 18-inch centrifugal
pump discharges directly to the
flume. The buckets are washed clean
by water from two nozzles, the gravel
falling to a save-all sluice equipped
with Hungarian riffles. This flume is
18 inches wide set on a grade of one
inch per foot.
A feature never previously used on
an Alaskan dredge is the construction
of rock chutes from the grizzly. The
oversize from the bars goes to a Y,
the branches of which pass on each
side of the save-all sluice and empty
in the pond aft of the dredge, where
the stones form a dam and prevent
the fine from filling the bond under
the boat. These chutes are 42-inches
wide and lined with manganese-steel
plates at the points of greatest wear.
Power is furnished by a 250-h. p.
Yarrow tubular boiler, burning coal,
which is mined locally. A 150-h. p.
Reaves engine drives the pumps and
dynamo, a 125-h. p. Lidgerwood the
digging-ladder, and a 20-h. p. the
winches. The steam from the engines
in condensed and returned to the
boiler.
A number of beds of lignite outcrop
on Cache creek and its tributaries, and
from these an ample supply of fuel
may be obtained at a low cost. The
company has secured a free-use 10
acre permit to mine coal and this
summer obtained its supply from an
open-cut two miles from the dredge.
This haul will be obviated the com
ing season, as a contract has been let
to drive entries and to open rooms on
a 5-foot bed on Cache creek during
the winter, so a supply will be easily
available at a convenient point in the
spring. The coal has a long flame
and ir good for making steam, though
the percentage of ash is high. If the
company had not owned the steam
equipment before the construction of
the boat was planned, the situation
would have been ideal for an electri
cally-operated dredge, the power be
ing generated at the point where the
coal was mined.
After a short, though successful
season, the only change planned on
the dredge is to add a second bull
wheel so that the drive will be on
both sides of the bucket-line, which it
is believed will reduce friction and
give the dredge a marked increase in
efficiency, with a corresponding de
crease in operating cost.

Where Do You
Keep Your
Money?
Meyer Daniels had been accumulating
money for three years. It amounted to $1,700.
Instead of putting it in a Bank, where it would
be safe, he kept it in his house. His house was
destroyed by fire, and this $1,700 in paper
money, representing three years’ economy, was
consumed.
If you are keeping money in your house, you
are running the risk of its loss by fire. Your
insurance policy does not cover money de
stroyed by fire.
Open an account with us and your money will be secure from fire
and theft.
