HEARD ABOUT THE BEAD HERD
Ward T. Bower, Assistant in
charge of the U. S. Bureau of Fish
eries, Alaska Division says in part
of the sealing industry-The Pribilot
Islands are the breeding grounds oi
the American fur seal herd and the

from their annual migrations ot

The Pribilof herd embraces 90 per
cent of the world’s fur seals, and is
protected by the convention or
1911 with Great Britain, Russia
and Japan, effective for a minimum
of 15 years and in effect thereafter
until modified or terminated by its
signatories. Under the convention
Japan and Great Britain are each
entitled to 15 per cent of the skin.
taken. However, each has taken
15 percent of the net proceeds from
the sale of skins.
TLie Government is also engaged
in blue fox farming on the Pribi
lofs. Some 700 pelts are taken each
winter and the last five-year average
price has been $77. per skin. Oth
er activities on the islands involve
construction and repair of build
ings and roads, the maintenance of
launches, lighters and small craft,
the operation of by-products, laun
dry and electric light plants and
water works and telephone systems;
the maintenance of trucks, tractors
and other motor equipment; the
raising of live stock and the devel
opment and utilization of reindeer
herds. There are about 350 Natives
of Aleut stock on the islands and
the supervisory staff of white em
ployees includes agents, physicians,
schoolteachers, stoiekeepers and
others. The communities thus main
tained on islands 40 miles apart
are like no others in the world.

LOOK OUT, MR. MINK
Frank Wyatt and George Baudray
are oft to the wilds in a quest for
furs, hides, pelts, skins or any thing
that’ll mosey into the jaw of their
traps. They loaded up the former’s
motorboat with a winter supply of
eatables, traps, guns and ammuni
tion and sailed Wednesday out onto
Frederick Sound. Wyatt said that
if they got favorably located they
wouldn’t be back to town before
spring. Good luck, fellows.
