Action for Juneau Bldg.
Governor Ernest Gruening this
week answered the wire forward
ed to him by the Valley Chamber
of Commerce on May 18, asking
that action be delayed on the con
struction of a territorial building
in Juneau, by stating that Board
of Administration action author
izing the Juneau construction
“has been misconstrued by the
people of Palmer.”
Governor Gruening further
stated that the “matter of deter

there is to be a change—is really

Poy Scouts Are Reminded
To Register for Camp
Palmer Boy Scouts, who will
attend camp at King’s Lake the
week of June 18, were reminded
today by Scoutmaster Victor Alf
sen that they should register
soon. Five Scouts beat the June
1 deadline for registration, and
as a result got a reduction in
their camping fee.
The Scouts who are registered
now include:
Tony Hilderman, Dale Whalen.
Larry Puddicombe, Howard Es
slinger and Laddie Huntley.
There is still time to register,
but boys are urged not to post
pone the matter too long. Camp
ing season at King’s Lake opens
on June 10.
not at all oertinent to this issue,
as your telegram seems to as
sume.”
He concludes by saying that as
the need arises, other buildings
for territorial agencies will have
to be built elsewhere than in
Juneau, and he feels that Palmer
may be recognized as a possible
site at that time, when “the ne
cessity becomes clear.”
Space limitations prevent re
printing the governor’s letter in
its entirety in this issue of the
Valley Frontiersman. However he
clearly states that he does not in
tend to interfere with the Board
of Administration’s announced
policy of constructing the build
ing in Juneau.

20 HUNTERS TO TAKE
RAM IN CHUGACH,
TALKEETNA AREAS
Sheep hunting will be opened
to permit hunters only in the
controlled Talkeetna and Chu
gach areas, it was learned this
week when 1950 game regulations
were made public here. To 20
hunters in the Talkeetna and 20
hunters in the Chugach area, the
Fish and Wildlife Service will
issue a permit to take a ram, with
a three - quarter curl horn or
larger.
Applications in writing must be
forwarded to the Anchorage of
fice of the FWS. The applicant
should list the kind of ’51 hunting
license he holds, the serial num
ber, and the hunter’s name, ad
dress and preference in control
area.
All applications must be post
marked between July 15 to July
25 inclusive. Successful hunters
will be chosen by lot at a public
drawing in Anchorage on Aug. 8.
The above regulations pertain
only to the controlled areas of
Talkeetna and Chugach, Valley
FWS agent Bob Burkholder p\
nlained. The Alaska and Brooks
Range areas are unaffected by
the new regulation.
Other changes in the ’50 regu
lations are minor. For the first
time, the FWS defines its mean
ing of the term ‘camp,’ in refer
ence to hunting regulations. A
camp is defined as “an erected
structure providing overnight
shelter and equipped with bed
ding and messing facilities for the
occupants.”
The new regulations require
that some evidence of sex shall
be retained on the carcass of all
game animals, until the carcass
is brought in for storage or con
sumption. The successful goat
hunter must retain the horns cf
the animal until the meat is pre
pared for storage.
Moose may be hunted in the
Palmer area from Sept. 1 to Sept.
20 only. There will be no second
season in this area this year.
Caribou may be hunted in this
area from Sept. 1 to Sept. 30, with
the bag limit one animal a year.
The current fishing season
opened here yesterday and will
remain open until March 15, 1951,
in the drainages of Cottonwood,
Fish, Fire, and Wolverine Creeks.
There has been a slight change
in the bag limit for fish. The new
regulation reads: “15 fishes
singly or in the aggregate, but
not to exceed 15 pounds and one
fish daily. One daily bag limit ii*
possession.”
’49-’50 fishing licenses are good
until July 1, licensing agent Ruth
Peterson of Bert’s Drug Store im
ported.
