BUREAU CHIEF SURPRISED
AT VASTNESS OF RESOURCES
“The thought that struck me as I
came north through the Inland pas
sage and saw the great Alaska for
ests, untouched by the hands of man
and teeming with game of all kinds,
is whether or not Alaskans fully
realized the value of their great
natural game resources,” is what
■ R- C. Steele, director of the Bio
logical Survey for the stales of Ore
gon and Washington, said of Alaska,
I upon his arrival at Juneau recently.
“Where in the states millions of
| dollars are being expended to bring
I back the game. Alaska has it and it
: should be the first thought of Alas
kans to preserve it,” he continued,
j "not only for sentimental reasons
but for monetary ones, as for years
to come the game of the Territory
will be the magnet to attract hunt
ers to the north and they will all
| leave money here.”
Mr. Steele said that the old idea
of a game warden being a person to
be shunned is rapidly disappearing,
j He finds now that sportsmen are
his greatest allies in his work in
seeing that the wild life is not de
stroyed as they realize that enough
game wardens could not be out in
j the hills to do any good unless they
j have the co-operation of people who
; have the preservation of game at
| heart.
; Speaking of the migratory bird
] law. but a few years ago enacted.
Mr. Steele said that the largest
flight of ducks was observed in
Washington and Oregon last year of
any in many years and by observa
tions this year it is thought that
the flight will be even larger. He
! said that with this law in force, I
| protecting the birds wherever they
may be, the danger of extermina- -
j is now past.
| Although on his first trip in the
j north, Mr. Steele has fallen thor
; oughly in love -with Alaska, says
'the Juneau Empire. He will never be
: content until he has taken a trip
I to the big game hunting grounds'
and bagged a brown bear. He is al
ready making plans for that end. |
His last thought after visiting
many spots in Southeastern Alaska
is one of wonder for the great
; natural game resources and a hope
i that Alaskans will fully realize the
i value of them and aid in preserving
! them so that all time to come the
; territory will be considered the
sportsman’s paradise.

TRIO TAKE UP RESIDENCE
ON LONELY PACIFIC ISLE
HONOLULU, July 10—Life on
Palmyra Islands, several hundred
miles southwest of Hawaii, is lonely
but busy for a trio of Robinson
Crusoes from Honolulu who have
elected to live there and prepare
copra from the coconut groves, ac
cording to advices received irom
them.
Colonel and Mrs. William Ming
and Edwin Benner, who went there
last October, have seen but one
vessel, an American navy craft,
since they stepped ashore on Pal
myra's quiet beach. When that ship
recently came to Honolulu it brot
an accumulation of mail from the
three telling of life on the coconut
isles.
The daily routine consists mostly
of building trays on which to lay
the coconuts, they related. These
trays are about 100 feet long and
three feet wide and day after day
the nuts are gathered, gouged and
left open in the sun to dry.
The little colony keeps a close
watch on the weather, for an hour’s
shower may spoil a lot of copre
As rain and thunder storms appear
to be fairly regular visitors at Pal
myra, weather forecasting has be
come an important factor in the
work.
The islands of the group are so
close together that the Mings and
Benner frequently wade from one
to another, always, however, with a
wary eye out for sharks.
Fish are plentiful and furnish
much of their food, while occasion
ally a bird dinner varies the daily
menu.
Shoes soon became a problem.
They thought they had a plentiful
supply, but wet weather and heavy
tramping quickly wore down their
stock and the three Palmvr t s have
been ••building" their own otwear
for some time from rough material
provided by nature.
Palmyra Islands, which '■eve been
leased for their copra by a 'lono
lulu syndicate, are the property of
Henry E. Cooper, wh; is ;<»id to
have bought them from their Eng
lish owners for 1750, ar.d brought
them under the American ^-ig.

tishna district, left for the diggings
today aboard the Moody launch.

A recent general bulletin of the
American Mining Congress says the
Geological Survey reports that the
reserves of lignite in the Xenana
region in Alaska are estimated af
ten billion tons, or three billion tons
in excess of the estimate made a few
years ago. It says the quantity of
coal available in the Xenana field
is greater than that of all other
surveyed fields in Alaska.
COPS TO PROTECT HIGHWAYS
OLYMPIA. Wn., Aug. 6—High
ways in this state are being patrolled
regularly by 25 men, who travel on
motorcycles, but they are not “speed
cops.” Their organization is known
as the Highway Protection Force
and their duty is to prevent misuse
of the roads and to enforce high
way rules adopted by the last legis
lature. One duty will be to report
sections of roads in need of repair.
The new force took the road on
August first.
O. M. Jackson, who resently dis
posed of his interest in the Port
land Pool Hall, left for Fairbanks
today, enroute to the States. He is
headed for his old home in Illinois
and expects to remain in the East
long enough to see at least part of
the coming World series, and possi
bly the Carpentier-Giggons fight.
He does not know what he will do
after he has had his fill of loafing,
but thrrvks it quite likely th,e "call
of the N'orth” will bring him back
to Alaska.
Harry Davis, oldtime business
man of Xeaana. who has been in
the States during the past year, is
now on his way North and it is
said he* will re-engage in business
here.
Fred Dunbar is a passenger on
the Moody launch, headed for the
