THE $1-<K> SHOOTING LICENSE *
Game is increasing rapidly in Alaska Not through the
( :jat conservation by the Game Commission, but oe*
,, s of the decreasing population and because the resident
of today dose not depend altogether as in former days, up
on game for subsistence Alaska is yet a pioneer country
•tn thousands less poou:at,or. than had .the West when
tne Union Pacific Railroad y-as hunt across the continent.
Tlx- buffalo had to go to make room for the stockmen and
i anchors: just as the bears, iynxes. wolves, and other pre
dators will have tdTbe exterminated before Alaska can be
come a place where poultry and;live-stock can be raised. It
,. true the big game hunter brings considerable revenue in
to the Territory, but a few settlers would bring more real
development.
We have no criticism to make of the Game Commission,
v. nose members are probably as sincere in their efforts to
conserve and build up the game supply as we are to build up
our scanty population. But we believe, in thejr effort to
place a 51 hunting license tax upon the Territory, in part.
rfurry are a quarter of a century ahead of the times. The av
< ;age Alaskan is hard put to make a living. The government
already ha solaced a migratory bird tax of SI upon those who
wish to shoot the waterfowl raised in the Territory.
* If a $1 tax U placed upon the hunters of the First Divi
sion v/e fear that it will then be extendechjto other sections
of Alaska making it cost the prospect'^and miner who liv
es upon game practically the year around, $2 per year for the
- privilege of developing the country.
We are averse to see any restrictions whatever placed
upon the man who hunts to Jive. It means endless trouble
,• rid petty persecutions unless the hunter obeys the law. It
•will overlap divisions and boundaries with endless disputes
aJJ costly and of no particular benefit to our citizens.
The Game Commission is doing a noble work in stock
ing certain sections of Alaska with game, and in caring and
feeding the deer in the First Division, but we believe any
tax imposed on the hunter will only add to the already high
i <f\ of making a home in the Northland.—Valdez Miner.

Against Disease in Orient
'By The Associated Press)
NANKING, Feb. IS, — The ma
yor scourges of the teeming orient
—cholera, leprosy, malaria and bu
boric plague—are to be moulted
with renewed vigor by the forces of
modern medicine
A plan of action for the campaign
was agreed upon by delegates to the
ninth congress of the Far Eastern
fe'-vociation of Tropical Medicine held
•r^V J "r
r.ere The meetings were attended
by 300 medical men representing the
United State* and every country in
Eastern Asia,
At round table meetings, dele
gate* exchanged information on ad
vance* made in their respective coun
tries in the control of diseases which
are costing the lives of millions in
the orient every year.
The problem of cholera, its pre
vention and cure, came in for espec
ial attention and the group resolved
that investigations on this subject
would be pushed in far eastern
countries. V
It was pointed out that much is
yet to be learned about the cholera
germ, and delegates agreed that
various countries should exchange
information on the results of their
studies of this virulent micro-organ
ism Field and statistical work aim
ed at finding out more about the
areas where cholera is most preval
ent will be continued it was resolv
ed.
Disease Carries
There were grave discussions also
about rats and fleas—carriers of the
dread bubonic plague. The spread of;
this disease was attributed in partj
o globe-trotting rats, which board'
vessels at ports of infection and dis-:
■mbark at other ports, causing new
nfection centers.
The congress, in a resolution, drew :
o the attention of the various far
eastern government the urgent nec
.•ssity of adopting practical measur
es for rat-proofing all ships. It was
iecided also, to carry out a study
^f^he^^ossibility^f^naking^ail-j
witj ratt-proof
Further study of the bretfag plac
es of nxmquila*, with the aim of fur
ther limitary the trsnsrmssioc of
'malaria, was proposed.
The congress voted to bold its 1937
meeting either in Indo-Ghxca or the
Philippines. A special committee will
make the final decision.
