States) and in Southeast Alas
ka, he doesn’t make any great
migratory flights. But the eagles
along Shelikoff Straits move
away in the late fall—that is
the most of them do. I have
been told that they fly as far
south as Lower California. How
ever. I don't know about that.
They leave, anyway. The eagles
along the At:antic Ccast strike
out for Labrador in the Spring.
These eagles that summer at the
river neaus, far interior of the
Slat s, fly coastward in the fall.
That s migrating, isn’t it?
Subscriber speaks of the
bounties paid by the States for
prefatory animals, and of the
protection given farmers, stock
raisers and others, fie remarks,
further, that Aiaskas has a right
to protect its game and iLs indus
tries. True enough, blit there is
a difference between protection
of game and fur bearers on one
hand and the practical exterm
ination of quite innocent wild
life on the other.
It may be as an Alaska con
pressman said not so long ago
:n a conversation where eagle j
killing came up for discussion, i
*... ’' hi ■'v Tr:;;!!!'i!!!ll:i!
He said: “There may have been
a time when the destruction of
a few eagles did no harm even
though it didn’t do any good.
Eagles were plentiful. There
v ere some to spare. However,
that time is a long distance to
the rearward and the shooting
of the big birds should stop. But
it will be difficult to repeal the
I law for the reason that there is
I so much pro-eagle propoganda
i in the States. Many Alaskans
imagine that to repeal the law
at this time would be to admit
that they—the Alaskans—had
wofully blundered in the first
place.”
Some one did foster a repeal
measure in the legislature. It
nearly went through. The vote
was a tie.
There are many more preda
tory animals—and birds are in
cluded here—in the States than
in Alaska, and it—the States
--has, probably, as many indus
tries calling for protection as
has Alaska, but the States has
n’t reached the asinine condi
tion of placing a bounty on Am
erican eagles. No, not yet.
Subscriber says, that the eagle

*is art Alaska problem for only
j Alaskans to solve. Yes, it’s a
! problem now, but it wasn’t until
a queer legislative bill made it
so.
A narrow vision mixed with
more or less ignorance, unreas
onab'e prejudice and crass stub
bornness, slanders, hunts and de
stroys the eagle while the arch
killer—the shrewd, coarse, dis
mal hued raven—looks up from
the bloody swath he has cut and
cioaks gleefully.
Has Subscriber ever watched
the antics of the herring gull
end his more or less close rela
tives? I wonder ! Those birds
take a keen delight in picking
the eyes out of struggling sal
mon working grievously hard up
stream in shallow riffles. Every
fall they destroy hundreds of
tnousands of mature and poten
tial fish. The raven and crow
are good—or bad at this, too.
Then come, from the few sur
viving adult salmon, the eggs
and the infant offspring. Then
the mergansers, kingfishers and
a horde of other little fisheaters
get in their destroying work.
But why bring this up? Kill the
eagles for all of the slaughter of
the finny tribe.
The eagle doesn’t ask to be
protected. He does, however,
beg that the bounty be taken
off his feet—off his head, off
any part of him and to let him
alone in his majestic flight and
i kingly grace.
Sincerely yours,
Will A. Barrows,

KILLISNOO FISH REDUCTION
PLANT DISCONTINUED
The Killisnoo Fisheries Com
pany operating the fish reduc
jticn plant at Killisnco, will dis
! continue herring fishing this
! season, according to an an
announcement made by Manager
A. H. Kuettner. The plant will
handle only offal from salmon
canneries.
The increasing difficulty of
obtaining herring in sufficient
ouantities, and regularly, is the
reason given for this change.
'Hiere is no apparent decrease in
the number of herring, but the
run has become erratic, and in
many instances herring have
emit frequenting cer tain waters
because of the dead herring
there. These fish, it is said, "were
Impounded by herring fisher
men for bait, and through some
delay in brailing the sets, allow
ed to die and sink to the bottom.
Three new boats for the col
lection of offal from canneries
are now in process of construc
tion in Seattle, and will come
north before the opening of the
canning season Kuettner said.
They are specially built for this
wirk.—Empire.

“WE HAVE WANDERED FAR”
Politics—“The branch of civics
that treats of civil government
and the conduct of state affairs;
the administration of public af
fairs in the interests of peace,
prosperity and the safety of the
state; statecraft; political sci
ence; in a wide sense embracing
the science of government and
civil policy.”—Webster.
Taking the foregoing as the
corner definition of the word
“politics,” the country at large
has wandered far and Alaska is
part and parcel of the country
at large
A portion of Webster’s defini
tion of the word -“politics,” the
portion which says: “The ad
ministraticn of public affairs in
the interests of peace, prosper
ity and the safely of the state,”
shou'd scak into the craniums of
Aiaskans before they go to the
primary elections to select can
didates to run for the various of
fices.
“Peace, prosperity and the
safety of the state,” is a condi
tion which is necessary to Alas
ka if she is to develop and real
ize on her God-given resources,
and officials should be selected j
who are best fitted to bring1
about that condition. In the se
lection of those officials party
affiliations should be forgotten
and men selected for their worth :
rather than as a reward for
dirty work.
Only those who are known to
be interested in the welfare of
Aiaska should be supported for j
an Alaskan office—Stroller’s
Weekly.
BRITONS MARRY OLDER i
WOMEN
Notwithstanding the surplus
number of women in Great Brit-1
ain, many men, it is disclosed in
the Registrar General’s report!
for 1928, took brides much older
than themselves. Twenty-one
youths of 20 married women of
30, and one youth of 17 and one
of 19 won mates of twice their
own age. Seventeen men of 22:
married women between 40 and
51. Other age discrepancies were
Wife 57, husband, 24; wife 55,
husband, 27; wife 63, husband,
, 29; wife 69, husband, 34. Men of
115 to 50 married women of three
score and ten. Truly Great Brit
ain is the old maids paradise.
