ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By W. A. S.
(Special Correspondence )
Ernest Walker Sawyer has
left for the Pacific Coast, after
having spent some months past
in Washington, giving partic
ular attention to Alaska where
he will be during the summer.
Mr. Walker has a broad vision
of the possibilities of the great
Northland and is a tireless
worker in aid of the develop
ment of that territory. He has
been of incalculable assistance
to Secretary Wilbur and other
membfers of the Interior De
partment, who are concerned
in the development of Alaska.
Hon. Frederic C. Wolcott, U.
S. Senator from Connecticut,
who is chairman of the special
committee on Wild Life Re
courses, and who is now tour
ing Alaska, wired Delegate
Wickersham ffom Juneau
that he would be glad to meet'
with the fur farmers in the
neighborhood of Anchorage
about July 27th, and that he
would so inform the Chamber
of Commerce of that town, so
that the farmers may be prop
erly notified. Senator Joseph
T. Robinson, of Arkansas, who
had expected to accompany
Senator Walcott’s party, is
now hoping to arrange his af
fairs so that he might sail
from Seattle on July 18 and
join the party at Seward a
week later.
The members and officers of
the Cook Inlet Trappers Fur
and Game Protective Associat
ion, Anchorage, have sought
the efforts of the Delegate to
,try to prevail upon President
Ilooverto, by executive order,
set aside and suspend the rules
and regulations relating to
trapping of furs in the Terri
tory of Alaska for the season
1931-32. Reference is made to
the issued regulations, which
reveal that trappers are allow
ed only sixty days in which to
take fox, lynx, weasel and land
otter, and that the taking of
marten and beaver is prohibt
ited. It is contended that under
these restrictions it will be im
possible for profitable trap
ping to continue, and particu
larly when so many people are
unemployed and who naturally
turn to trapping for the neces
sities of life. The contention
upon the part of the Biological
I Survey that the region embrac
ed within the zone of the As
sociation is being depleted of
beaver, is refuted by the As
sociation and the fact pointed
to that natural protection is
given by many large streams,
lakes and swamps, and the
wide area of their distribution.
It is further set forth that it
might be of interest to the
President and Dr. Reddington
to know the type of citizen
who turns to the trapline dur
ing the long winters when all
other avenues of earning a
living are closed. The Associa
tion numbers many young
men, veterans of the World
War, with families, who have
created comfortable, if crude
! homes, at distances from 50 to
100 miles from business settle
ments. They have raised gar
dens, possess radios, books,
magazines, and such refine
ments as their meagre incomes
will allow. The President has
referred the matter for the
consideration of the officials
of the Department of Agricul
ture.
