PROTEST SEASON
ON KODIAK BEARS
A telegram protesting the
Chamber of Commerce and the
Kodiak Livestock Growers Asso
ciation’s suggestion that protec
tion be withdrawn on bears on
the northeast end of Kodiak Is
land was sent to Clarence Rhode,
U. S. Fish and Wildlife head at
Juneau, last week by big game
guides of Kodiak. -
The telegram pointed to the
money the town received from
sportsmen who come here to hunt
bear and pointed out that the
guides feel the present laws offer
sufficient protection to the cattle.
A year round open season on
Kodiak bears was asked recently
in a joint memorial introduced in
the Territorial House.
The measure calling the bears
a menace to livestock, was intro
duced by Reps. Chester C. Carl
son of Cordova and Jack Scaven
ius of Anchorage, both Democrats.
It said that the records show
more than 200 head of livestock
were killed in recent years by
Kodiak bears.
