* EXPETS TO
' INVESTIGATE
ALASKA LAW
MAKE STUDY OF BIRD LIFE
Government Wants to Know
Why Eagles Are Subject to
Bounty in Northland
w
The government is investigating
the Alaska Eagle bounty law to see
whether it is destroying the Alaska
eagle which in the opinion of the
easterners would be most deplorable.
Those who so tenderly aspire to
save this worthless bird, which de
stroys game and fish by countless
thousands, have asked that an inves
tigation be made, and Donald H.
Stevenson, a federal game and fores
try expert, is coming north.
.Jt Another mission of Stevenson is
to spend three years on the rock
bound islands to investigate bird
and animal life, particularly in the
Kodiak section.
Mr. Stevenson’s orders to pro
ceed to the Aleutian islands verifies
the announcement of the biological
survey that these Alaskan islands
would not be neglected in the sur
d’s program of bringing science to
the reindeer and wild game life of
the territory. Five other biological
experts—Dr. S. W. Hadwin, J. Palmer,
H. W. Johnston, O. J. Murie and Bio
logical Chief E. W. Nelson—sailed on
the last Victoria for service in the
Nome vicinity.
LONE ASSIGNMENT
Stevenson, however, is alone as
signed to the vast reaches of the
Aleutians, which stretch nearly 500
miles from the Alafska peninsula into
the North Pacific ocean and Bering
sea.
A survey of the islands will be the
first action of Mr. Stevenson; and he
plans to prepare an immediate re
port on the extent of grazing and
pasture lands on Unalaska and
Unimak islands, two of the largest
groups of the archipelago. Domestic
sheep herds have already been intro
duced here by Dr. Andrew C. Smith
of Portland, and the government
proposes to exploit sheep propagan
da on the islands if conditions are
favorable.
Three years ago a reindeer herd
■was taken to Unimak island and
since then reports have been receiv
ed that these animals have strayed
to secluded and almost inaccesible
places on the large island, where
they have grown wild. Mr. Steven
son will attempt to locate and do
mesticate these reindeer and will
also stimulate the island natives to
great effort in the propagation of
the deer.
TO COLLECT SPECIMENS
Specimens -of bird and game life
"will also be colleced by Stevenson
for the national museum at Wash
ington and a particular effort will be
made to get trophies of Asiatic birds
which have strayed from Siberia to
the-^lands.

PARIS, July 28 (by Associated
Press).—Gradual' improvement in
Prance’s coal production, shown in
figures brought out in the chamber of
deputies, is giving comfort to econo
mists but is mot counted upon to re
lieve the chilliness of homes or
markedly affect factories for some
time. The mines damaged by the Ger
man invasion are slowly being put in
shape and it is expected that they will
produce 250,000 tons monthly by the
end of the year, if all goes well. This
would be half of pre-war production.
It was admitted the normal rate would
not be reached for some years.
Difficulties in pumping out flooded
] mines and repairing dynamited shafts
have proved the chief obstacles. Or
ders for machinery are accepted only
for delivery in from four months ip
four years.
Belgian firms finally have been en
gaged to aid in the reconstruction
work after negotiations with Germans
failed.
