Officials Want
Privilege of Killing
Game for food
I
WASHINGTON, August 8.—It has
been decided that under the law it
will not be possible for the war de
partment officials, when traveling in
Alaska, to kill game necessary for
food. It was urgently recommended
by the chief signal officer that th^
game regulations be modified so as to
permit this killing, but it was decided
after carefully reading the law that
this would not be possible.
It is explained in support of the re
quest that it is permissible for In
dians, prospectors and explorers to
kill game for food, and it was thought
wise to extend the privilege to gov
ernment officials.
Before this permission can be giv
en it will be necessary to change ex
isting law, which forbids the killing
of any wild game in Alaska except
during certain seasons, and contains
an exemption clause authorizing the
killing of game at any time by na
tives, miners or explorers, “when in
need of food.”
It is clear, say the authorities, that
the secretary of agriculture, to whom
it was suggested that the appeal be
made, has no authority to enlarge the
exempted list. He is only authorized
to vary statuatory regulations and
when he shall deem it necessary for
the preservation of game, placing re-,
strictions and limitations on the kill
ing of such animals and birds.
An effort will be made to amend the
law in the interest of the object here
set forth.

Begins Shipping to Granb).
Owing to the recent decisions of
the Tacoma Smelter Co., to hence
forth pay to small shippers only 50
per cent of assay values of the copper
ores consigned to them and the re
mainder when the ores have been re
claimed, the lessee of the War Eagle
have made arrangements to ship the
product of that mine to the Granby
smelter in British Columbia. If this !
proves satisfactory there are doubt
less others in this district who are de
veloping their p operties on a small
scale, will likely follow their example.
