Alaska's wlerd and wonderful
game regulations are the subject of
another government report of pro
test. This time it is not the fact
that the brown bear is a game bird
under the jurisdiction of the depart
ment of agriculture, while his
brother, the black bear, is a fur
bearing animal under the jurisdic
tion of the department of commerce,
that furnishes the test for the re
port. It is more serious than that.
Under existing law and regula
tions, a native of Alaska, a miner, a
prospector or an explorer may kill
game at any time of necessity or
"when in want of food.” But an
officer or an enlisted man of the
army, on duty in Alaska, is not a
native, a miner, a prospector nor an
lilt* uuitcio auu uicu ui
CAJUUI .
the army signal corps have to travel
in the wild places of Alaska in keep
ing up their telegraph lines.
So traveling, every time a bear
happens along aud tr'es to bite
them they have but two courses
open. One is to explain the situa
tion to the bear—sending a note
won’t do—and beg his indulgence.
The other is to kill the bear and risk
going to jail.
None has gone to jail yet. Which
speaks well for their powers of per
suasion—or ability to prove an alibi.
But Brig. Gen. Scriven, chief sig
nal officer of the army, does not like
the situation. It puts too much of
a strain on his officers and men. He
wants them put on the same basis
as natives, miners, prospectors and
explorers. So he has written a mem
orandum on the subject, which Sec
retary Baker has passed on to Gen.
Crowder, judge advocate general,
who has ruled that the only way to
secure relief is by executive action.
Since both the department of com
merce and th edepartment of agri
culture are involved, the correspond
ence file is growing bulky. Maybe
in a few months the regulations will
be changed.

Island White Collie Kennels of
Oshkosh, Wis., asking for informa

team of the fine animals raised by
that establishment in the 1917
Sweepstakes, says the Nome Nugget
of recent date. The Nome Club was
asked to give all possible data rela

wants to know if teams from the

also inquires if a good man can be
found to handle a team of the collies
in case it is desired to enter one in

TAME BULL MOOSE
ON GOVERNMENT TRAIL
Joe Stanton and C- L. Hoyt, who
arrived in Valdez froir Gulkana a
few days ago, report seoing a huge
moose on the trail, the first seen in
that vicinity for a long time. The*
had reached a point about three
miles from Gulkana and were driv
ing slowly along when suddenly a
big bull moose walked out of the
bushes a short distance ahead of the
team they were driving. The moose
paid not the slightest attention to
them, but trotted slowly down the
trail, keeping a short distance ahead
for fully half a mile, when It turned
into the brush and disappeared.
Moose are not uncommon in the
country at the head of the Gulkana
and Taslina rivers, and in the sec
tion between the streams, but they
seldom come down toward the Cop
per river. It is reported that the
operators at the Gulkana telegrapn
station killed a moose last fall a
short distance from the station, and
occasionally tracks are seen.
