Last fall a hunting party quizzed !\>
by, an old White river Lndian as to
the number of sheep he had killed. He
said, ’’Kill maybe two every week.’
Toby is old, he doesn’t know just how
old; but maybe sixty years” he guessed
Taking this as his age, members of -he
party figured out that he had killed for
himself at least fourteen hundred ani
mals, or 8459,200.00 worth. Lor his
family and dogs he had killed at least
ten times that many, or $4,295,000, GO
worth.
There are about eighty Indians in
the White river region who do noth
ing but hunt. This is but a small part
of the vast interior thruout which are
scores of groups of Indians who live in
the same way. This does not include
those who are cared for at the missions
It would be practically impossible to
protect game in the interior by having
game wardens at every settlement. Bu
a very feasible plan has been sugges
ted by a sportsman who has the welfare
of Alaska at heart. This will be discuss
ed next week.
