BaM Eagle Bounties
Nuffified in Alaska
The claws of America’s nation
al emblem, the bald eagle, will
no longer bring two dollars a
pair to Alaska bounty seekers,
the National Audubon Society re
ported today.
The Society stated that a long
campaign by Audubon groups
and other conservation organiza
tions has culminated in a federal
regulation forbidding the killing
of Alaskan bald eagles, unless
they are found "committing
damage” to wildlife or domestic
stock.
The eagle bounty law In Alas
ka, which has caused bounties to
be paid on more than 100.000
eagles since its enactment in 1917,
will be nullified by the federal
regulation just issued by Secre
tary of the Interior Oscar L.
Chapman, the National Audubon
Society believes. Provision that
no part of the carcass of a bald
eagle may be “possessed or
transported for any purpose” will
make it illegal to collect bounties
on birds that may be destroyed
under the terms of the regulation.
In advocating that bald eagles
be protected in Alaska, as they
have been since 1940 in the Un
ited States, the National Audubon
Society has pointed oiit that the
bird whose Jikeness appear on
every dollar bill, half dollar, and
quarter may make its “last stand”
in Alaska.

12 ACRES OF TIMBER
DESTROYED IN FIRE
NEAR MILE 60
Approximately 12 acres of
timber were destroyed by fire
Friday afternoon near Mile 60 on
Glenn Highway.
According to Ranger A. E.
Klump, U. S. Division of Fores
try, 26 volunteer fire-fighters
from Palmer, Jonesville, and the
Alpine Inn area had the fire well
under control within eight hours
after their arrival on the scene,
despite a 30-mile-per-hour wind
that fanned the flames. Two bull
dozers and a Division of Forestry
plane were used in the fire-con
trol operations.
The burned-out area was most
ly on the Don Boulter property.
One cow shed was removed from
the path of the fire.
The fire is reported to have
started from the accidental ignit
ing of brush by the four-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Hillery Holder
field when she picked up a flam
ing stick from a rubbish pile her
mother was burning and threw 't
in the dry brush.
