an asset of trophy value that threat
ens to surpass its former worth as
a furbearer.
As a result of several instances
of unwarranted and needless slaugh
ter of these practically harmless an
imals, it .is advisable to grant them
some protection. The Commission
has recommended a closed season
from June 20 to September 1 and a
‘ bag limit of 2 in Fur District 1 and
2. The above fur districts include
Southeast Alaska and the Prince
William Sound and Cook Inlet re
gions.
Black Bears
At Anan Creek near Wrangell,
there occurs during the salmon runs
a remarkable concentration of black
bears.. An annually increasing num
ber of tourists and yachts are visit
ing this place and its reputation is
spreading so rapidly that this spot
promises to become a major tourist
attraction.. Set aside several years
ago by the Forest Service as a re
creational area, the bears there arc
now given complete protection by
its inclusion , in the Commission's
list Of sanctuaries. Admiralty Is
land is rapidly becoming the objec
tive of annually growing numbers
of nonresident brown bear hunters.
The total kill of bears on that island
last year approached the limit be
lieved by the Commission to be the
largest that can be permitted to as
sure maintenance of a supply. With
prospects for an increasing number
of big game hunters coming to Alas
ka in 1935 to bag Admiralty Island
bears, it is advisable to reduce the
limit from 2 to 1 for residents and
nonresidents alike. Seventy-six big
game hunters visited Alaska this
year and spent more than $150,000.
00, according to the records of the
Commission.
Refugees
An extensive beaver colony ad
joining the right-of-way of the Al
aska Railroad from mile 50 to 51 at
Grandview between Seward and
Anchorage is given the protection
of a closed area. This area together
with other similar ones along the
railroad are a source of much inter
1—j __j
est to the tourists. j
In response to requests of inter
ested citizens of the Kenai Penin
sula, the _ bag limit of mountain
sheep and goats in the open ar^a
on the Kenai is reduced from 2 to 1
for both residents and nonresidents.

; interesting animals may be studied
and photographed to best advantage

Thayer Lake and Pack Creek on
Admiralty Island have been set
aside as refugees wherein no shoot
ing of brown or grizzly bears at any
season wil* be permitted.
Resident Hunting License
Growing numbers of aliens and
nonresidents within the Territory
during the past year or two who
have been hunting illegally under
the guise of being residents has
brought about many requests for a
resident hunting license to aid the
Commission in-checking all hunters
in the field to facilitate the enforce
ment of the nonresident require
ments of the Act, the resident hunt
ing provision of the Act is to be in
voked in the first judicial division.
The fee for this license is $1.00 and
efforts will be made to have the
revenue from it applied to the con
trol of wolves in that division.
Registration of Trap Lines
The need for the registration of
trap lines to build up the wild fur
supply is becoming more apparent
from the increasing number of ap
peals being received from trappers
throughout the Territory. The sys
tem is said to be working remark
ably well in the neighboring prov
ince of British Columbia. The Com
mission expects to present a similar
plan for the consideration of the
trappers of Alaska during the next
year.
