BROWN BEAR IS AN ASSET
(Cordova Times)
Disregarding the question as to
whether or not the big brown bear
of Alaska should be protected by
law, they are a very decided asset
to the Territory in that they con
stitute a veritable magnet in drawing
parties of big game hunters to the
Northland from all parts of the
States.
This is the opinion of Ernest P.
Walker, of the tJnited States biolog
ical survey, as expressed in an in
teresting talk made before the
Alaska Game Protective Association
of Cordova.
1 “yhe big game hunters who an
nually visit Alaska are generally
men of large affairs, men who re
present big enterprises and large
capital,” Mr. Walker pointed out.
‘‘Many instances are on record
where these men have become in
terested in a variety of Alaskan in
dustries as the result of a hunting
trip to the Territory. They not
only leave large sums of money in
the Territory as a direct result of
their trip, in the matter of outfits,
transportation, guide fees, and the
like, but they often become inter
ested, and in turn interest other
capitalists, in our fisheries, our
mining, timber and other resources.
And they become consistent and in
fluential advertisers of Alaska..”
Mr. Walker emphasized the fact
that the wild life of Alaska consti
tutes one of the most valuable re
sources, second perhaps to the fish
eries in importance. ,He be.ieves
that we have a wonderful field for
the encouragement of v-ili life, in
cluding the introduction of new
species.
‘‘Alaska, owing to its comparative
isolation and inaccessibility, and its
limited population, is one of the
greatest potential wild life ‘farms'
in the world,” continued Mr. Walk
er. “By protection and encourage
ment it can be made to support a
great deal more life than at present
and offers immense opportunities
for the introduction of new species”.
It was suggested that possibly
the action of the department in
opening the season on marten and
beaver was a little premature, in
reply to which Mr. Walker stated
that this action was taken by the
I department as a temporary relief
| measure with a view to easing the
> depression prevalent in the Terri
I tory as a result of limited opera
| tions in the fisheries industry. Mr.
j Walker is anxious to get the opinion
[ of trappers and other competent
k observers as to the condition of
| beaver, marten and other fur bear
r ir.g animals in the Territory.
I GUST PETERSON DEFENDANT
i IN SUIT OVER OIL STOCKS
j -
j The Seattle Alaska Dispatch of
» recent date has the following ae
1 count of an action in court which
I involves August Peterson, formerly
engaged in gold mining in the Fair
banks an-1 Tolovana districts:
“Attempt to determine who owns
stock in the Alaska Development
Company, capitalized at $1,500,000
and possessing what is declared to
be valuable oil properties near Cas
par, Wyoming, was begun in super
ior court when J. R. Prigmore, one
of the defendants- in the main suit
filed a cross complaint in which he
admits allegations of the plaintiffs
and sets forth his independent claim
for stock. The main suit is by Ed
ward Brady, George Harroun and
. Ben L. Moore, plaintiffs, against
August Peterson and Augusta Peter
son, J. R. and Maud M. Prigmore
and the Alaska Development Com
pany, defendants.
Peterson and Prigmore. it is set
forth in the complaint, decided to
get hold of valuable oil properties
in Wyoming, held by the Wyoming
Exploration Company. They organ
ized the Alaska Development Com
pany, turned over $749,000 of the
million and a half capitalization to
the exploration company, and placed
$751,000 in the new company. Prig
* more alleges that this par value
i stock was to be divided equally,
j After debts were paid off. some
$200,000 was placed in the treasury
t of the new company, it is stated in
the complaint, and $400,000 re
mained to be divided. Prigmore, in
his cross complaint, wants an ac
counting and division. He has as
j signed one half his interest to the
three plaintiffs, Brady, Harroun and
Moore, it is stated, and they enter
i the case through that assignment.
Peterson, according to the plaintiff
Ben L. Moore, denies that he and
i Prigmore were to share equally. It
; is understood that he will contest
^ the suit.
! Father Monroe will hold services
in the local Catholic church tomor
