THE SEAL HERDS.
Within a few weeks the
fur seals that make up the
herd on the Pribilof Islands
in the Bering Sea will as
semble off the Washington
coast for their anni
gration.
Although the assembling
herd numbers more than a
mill :t is a distp
pointing spectacle.
It :s useless for tourist
agencies to invite the wo
men of the country to visit
Washingt n’s c astal wat
ers to see a million potent
ial fur seal coats headed for
the northern rookeries.
The sea’s travel in small
groups and the United Sta
tes coast guard does not per
mit anybody to capture or
annoy the animals.
It is true that the Indians
at the coastal villages of
Tar. '.a. Lapush and Xeah
Bay may capture seals at
sea but they use their prim
itive harpoons and their
paddle-propelled canoes.
Since the Indians must
paddle far out to sea, their
catch is insignificant.
When white hunters with
modern weapons and fast
boats were permitted to en
gage in pelagic sealing, the
herds were almost exter
minated.
The seal population on
the Pribilof Islands dwindl
ed from two and a half mil
lion to a mere two hundred
and fiftv thousand.
- — : . .. —- ■
Since pelagic sealing was
prohibited by inter-nation
al treaty and the United
States government took ov
er the sealing industry the
animals have increased in
number.
The c.nnu 1 census on the
Pribilofs .'hows approxim
t tely .. milli >n and a quar
ter seals.
As a result of a policy of
protection and conservation
there will be always a sup
ply of fur coats.—Seattle

MERCHANTS,
PEDDLERS AND LAW
(Cordova Times)
The merchants of Cordo
va. are. we feel sure, alive
to the peril that comes into
the community through the
peddler and agent. That
this class of gentry is on
the increase can be attested
by every house-wife, and
that they take from Cordo
va and other towns in Alas
ka thousands of dollars of
business every year is ap
parent to all merchants and
bankers.
What can be done? Well,
we offer this suggestion, for
mental assimilation. The
average peddler comes into
a community wrapped in a
protective mantle that is
known as “interstate com
merce.” Under decisions
of the highest courts he
does not have to pay a lic
ense. As a matter of fact

The local merchants, how
ever, have a representative
in congress. They should
get behind the congress
men and see that some way
is provided to permit the
fair taxation of these out
of-town peddlers and solic
itors.
Politicians may make it a
dirty campaign, but no one
can deny that, with it. they
are sure to furnish plenty
of soft soap.
