THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1919.
WHAT'S THE ANSWER
The present regulations governing
the sale of game, imposed last year by
the secretary of agriculture, whatever
their purpose may be, do not reaiiy
effect anything but a waste of meat
inasmuch as they apply to the sec
tion of Alaska liying north of latitude
62 degrees. If intended for the con
servation of the wild game, their cer
tainly fall short of their object, and
while allowing •he killing of game by
hunters fix. it so that the meat cannot
be disposed of wlvch, unless weather
renditions are favorable, means that
meat ki’led between August 1, and
August 19, wiil spoil before it can be
used.
Secretary Houston last year issued
the following regulation:
“The sale, directly or indirectly, ol
moose meat in Alaska between lati
tude 62 degrees and the Arctic circle,
between December 2 and August 19
both dates inclusive, is hereby prohib
ited, and no moose meat shall be pro
cured for serving and served in any
bearding house, cannery, eating
bouse, hotel, mess house or restau
rant by the proprietor thereof or his
agent, in Alaska between latitude 62
degrees and the Arctic circle between
December 25 and August 19, both
dates inclusive.”
From the Canadian border to the
western outlet of Lake Clarke, across
Cock Inlet to the westward of Seward,
all that portion of Alaska lying south
of latitude 62 degrees and between
longitudes 141 degrees and 155 de
grees is even more seriously affected.
In that section the sale of moose, car
ibou, mountain sheep or mountain
goat meat is prohibited at all times
Nor can this meat be served at any
eating place in the affected district
at any time.
These regulations were issued un
der authority bestowed on the secre
tary of agriculture by the amendment
of 19o8 to the Alaska game law of
June 7, 1902. They can be revoked
by the secretary without action by
congress and if the matter is put ut
to the department in its true light if
is possible that they would be can
celled.
It is not clear just what purpose
was in mind when they were issued
The law allows moose to be killed
after August 1 each year in this sec
tion. But the regulation now in form
compels persons killing such animals
to hold them until August 20 before
they can be generally used for food
Warm weather generally prevailing ai
that season of the year makes it im
practicable to keep the meat for anj
length of time unless storage facili
ties are at hand, and as a consequence
the regulation makes for a waste o
good food instead of conserving it.
This is a matter which might wel
be taken up with Delegate Grigsby b]
local organizations. The longer th<
regulation is allowed to stand un
protested the more difficult it will b<
to get it revoked.—Fairbanks Citizen
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
With the speed that things ar
moving in Ketchikan these days om
does not need a watch to tell tinu
by, he uses a calandar.—Ketchikai
Chronicle.
Why not end the discussion abou
the place of trial of the former Kaise
by putting it all in the hands of Tex
Rickard? He would find a pace an<
attend to the advertising.—Juneai
Empire.
At the present time the Alaski
salmon pack is only 50 per cent o
normal, and the indications are tha
it will be much short of last year’s
output. However, the reports tha
the salmon are running better th<
last few days is encouraging. Le
us hope that the August run wil
make up for the July shortage, an<
that the finish will see prosperity for
* all those in the game—cannerymen,
! fishermen and all concerned.—Juneau
Emjire.
So Chairman Edes, besides being
■ a great (?) railroad builder, is also
( an egotist. Just read his testimony be
» fore the committee on Territories as
given above. “Not until did his physi
cal breakdown occur” was there any
retardment of railroad work. Suffer
ing rainbow trout, can one swim
against that stream of personal sat
isfaction and sef-glorification?—Sew
ard Gateway.

If Valdez ever expects to get in
the class next to the door where the
big girls recite, we must get busy.
We are being overlooked on every
hand. Opportunity knocked, and find
ing us all out at the ball game passed
on. The steamers land at 3 o’clock
in the morning in order to prevent
the tourists from seeing the town; the
best movies now pass us by; and now
that the war is over the government
appears to have but little use for us.
—Valdez Miner.
A comittee of the Chamber of Com
merce is drawing up a petition set
ting forth, in a very comprehensive
manner, the facts relating to the in
adequate mail service, especially
during the winter period given this
community. The petition is in res
ponse to a communication from the
post office department at Washing
ton to the local chamber.—Anchor
age Times.
It is of vital importance that our
citizens bring the attention of the
congressional committee now on its
way to Alaska to the necessity of this
town remaining the terminal of the
Richardson road. During the past two
years we have had to fight the steam
ship companies, the Copper River rail
way and the road commission to get
any publicity for Valdez, and the little
obtained has been nullified by the cam
paign inaugurated by interested par
ties among the passengers from the
time they leave Seattle.—Valdez
Miner.
