Legging For The Beef Trust
“Fort Gibbon. Sept. 17, 1905.
To United States Marshal Perry,
Fairbanks, Alaska:—
By direction of the Commanding Gen*
errl, Department of the Columbia, I
would request that you cause a notice
to be published to the citizens of Fair
banks and vicinity, that under no cir
cumstances will caribou be killed for
commercial purposes.
Stamper, Major Commanding.
In commenting on the above the
Fairbanks Times says: Whether it is I
because Uncle Sam has been making a
round-up of the caribou and discovers a
shortage, or whether he is playing fa
vorites with the beef trust, we know
not. but it will probably be just as safe
to hunt rabbits in the future, and leave
the caribou to our Canadian cousins to
slaughter.
