of the calendar year for which a
permit is granted, they shall submit
a report of operations conducted un
der the permit. The Commission
also points out that when animals
have been captured and fur-farming
operations have been actually estab
lished, parties are required to have
both the Territorial fur farm license
and the Alaska Game Commission
fur farm license.
HUNTER ARRESTED FOR VIOLA
TION OF GAME LAW
Kenneth R. Walker, of Westwood,
California, a licensed big game hunt
er, plead guilty in the U. S. Com
missioner’s Court at Juneau to a
charge of having killed a mountain
sheep before the opening of the sea
son. He was fined $100, including
costs, and the trophy will be for
feited in accordance with the provi
sions of the Alaska Game Law.
The local office of the Alaska
Game Commission states that from
certain remarks made by the party
on their way north, the Commis
sion was suspicious that they would
not obey the law and accordingly
took steps to keep track of their
operations, with the result that this
violation was detected.
No charge has as yet been filed
against Allen Williams, licensed
guide for the party, who permitted
and assisted in the illegal killing of
the sheep, but the Commission an
nounces that it is practically certain
that his license will be revoked which
will make him ineligible for a guide’s
license for the next five years, and
it is possible further action may be
taken against him pending the out
come of an investigation of an ad
ditional charge against him.
Kenneth Walker was hunting with
his brother Fletcher along the Rich
ardson trail. The Walker brothers
are of the family which operates
the Red River Lumber Co., of West
wood, California, one of the largest
lumber concerns in the United States.
FUNDAMENTALS OF
CHARACTER
A group of Boy Scouts leaving
New York for Copenhagen for an
international Scout meeting received
from President Coolidge the follow
ing message sent in his capacity as
honorary president of the American
Boy Scouts:
“There was no Boy Scout organi
zation in my boyhood, but every boy
who has the privilege of growing up
on a farm learns instinctively the
three fundamentals of Scouthood,”
President Coolidge said.
“The first is a reverence for na
ture. Boys should never lose their
love of the fields and the streams,
the mountains and the plains, the
open places and the forests. That
love will be a priceless possession
as your years lengthen out. There
is an instructive myth about the
Giant Anteus. Whenever in a con
test he was thrown down, he drew
fresh strength from his mother, the
earth, and so was thought invincible.
But Hercules lifted him away
from the earth and so destroyed him.
There is new life in the soil for
every man. There is healing in the
trees for tired minds and for our
overburdened spirits; there is strength
in the hills, if only we lift up our
eyes. Remember that nature is your
great restorer.
The second is reverence for law.
T remember the town meetings of
my boyhood, when the citizens of
our little town met to levy taxes on
themselves and to choose from their
own number those who should be
their officers. There is something
in every such meeting, in every elec
tion that approaches very near the
sublime. I am thrilled at the thought
of my audience, for I never address
boys without thinking that among
them may be a boy who will sit in
this White House. Somewhere there
are boys who will be presidents of
our railroads, presidents of our col
leges, of banks, owners of splendid
farms and useful industries, mem
bers of Congress, representatives of
our people in foreign lands. That
is the heritage of the American boy.
it was an act ot magnnicent
courage when our ancestors set up
a nation wherein any boy may as
pire to anything. That great achieve
ment was not wrought without
blood and sacrifice. Make firm your
resolution to carry on nobly what
1 as been so now begun. Let this
nation under your guidance, be a
finer nation.
“Resolve that the sacrifices by
which your great opportunities have
been purchased will be matched by
a sacrifice, on your part, that will
give your children a better chance.
“The third is a reverence for God.
It is hard to see how a great man
can be an atheist. Without the sus
taining influences of faith in a di
vine power we could have little faith
in our selves. We need to feel that
behind us in intelligence and love
Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do
not contribute; cynics do not create.
Faith is the great motive power, and
no man realizes his full possibili
ties unless he has the deep convic
tion that life is eternally important,
and that his work, well done, is a
part of an unending plan.
These are not only some of the
fundamentals of the teachings of the
Boy Scouts, they are the fundamen
tals of our American institutions.
If you will take them with you, if
you will be living examples of them
abroad, you will make a great con
tribution toward a better understand
ing of our own country, and receive
in return a better understanding of
other countries; for you will find in
foreign lands to a very large ex
tent, exactly what you carry there
yourselves. I trust that you can
show to your foreign associates in
a great Scout movement that you
have a deep reverence for the truth
and are determined to live by it;
that you wish to protect and cherish
your own country and contribute to
the well being, right thinking and
true living of the whole world.”
