enough interested boys come out
for practice, a third team will be
formed. A sponsor for the third
team has been obtained but it
still needs a manager and a coach.

Commercial Value
Seen for Alaska
Sea Lion Skins
The Pacific Seal Company Lim
ited, New Westminister, British
Columbia, Canada, recently ad
vised the Department of Fish and
Game that the skins of newborn
sea lion pups appear to have a
market value of $6 or perhaps
more.
This communication resulted
from the experimental processing
of a sea lion pup skin which was
furnished by the Department of
Fish and Game for processing.
The skin was processed in Europe
by methods normally employed
for hair seal skins.
The present population of sea
lions in Alaska numbers between
150,000 and 200,000 animals ac
cording to Walter Kirkness, Com
missioner of the Department of
Fish and Game.
This recent evidence of com
mercial value suggests that Al
aska’s sea lion resource may be
developed into a new, though li
mited, industry. Commissioner
Kirkness pointed out sea lions
give birth to their pups daring
the month of June and the skins
of pups would have to be harvest
ed during that time.
Persons desiring information on
methods of handling and shipping
skins may contact directly the
Pacific Seal Company, P. O. Box
7, New Westminister, British Co
lumbia, Canada, for information.
Alaska now has 12 rural electric
cooperative associations and ap
plications are pending for more
