GAME CLUB AND IGLOO
FAVOR NEW GAME BILL
The organizations at Ketchikan,
the Alaska Game Protective Associ
ation, and the Ketchikan Igloo of
Pioneers, recently endorsed the Xei
son Game bill for Alaska. The game
association declared the measure to
be “rite most constructive piece of
legislation ever introduced in any
legislation and propagation of wild
life. ‘'The Pioneers endorsed the
measure but suggested a number of
amendments which they will sub
mit to every Igloo in tbe Territory.
The game association issued a
statement supporting the measure,
which said:
‘•The Alaska Game Protective As
sociation of Ketchican. in a prepared
statement, gives its approval to the
proposed game law for .Alaska. The
prepared statement is as follews:
“'After carefully considering its
provisions, the Alaska Game protec
tive Association of Ketchikan ex
pressed its approval of the Alaska
game bill now pending in Congress.
“The Sitka club is reported to
have disapproved the bill but evid
ently they were misinformed with
regard to it or failed to fully study
its provisions for had they gone into
the matter carefully they would
have readily determined that the bill
is without doub: the most compre
hensive and constructive piece of
legislation ever introduced in any
legislative body for the proper pro
tection and propagation of wild life.
“Pei taps the bill does not give
Alaska absolute control of her gam^
and fur as we might wish hut such
.s neither necessary nor desirable in
the present state of development ani
financial condition of the Territory.
The Territory finds :t difficult to fi
nance the few administrative ex
penses to which'it is now obligated
and there is even some talk of abol
ishing certain important territorial
offices. Obviously, therefore, the
Territory cannot finance the protec
tion of her game and fur as provid
ed in the above mentioned law which
would devolve upon her if Aue were
to be given control of these import
ant resources. It is expected that
the federal government will find it
necessary to make appropriation of
S75.00Q or 80,000 to carry put the
provisions of the bill for the first
year and a like sum. if not a larger
one, anually thereafter. It is need
less to say that the financial condi
tion of the Territory absolutely pro
hibits the appropriation of any sucn
sum for this purpose either now or
in the very near futuTe.
"The bill prorides for the consol
idation of the protective and -admin
istrative work under the biological
survey. This organization is the only
branch of the United States gov
ernment experienced in such mat
ters Its employees are making life
time studies of their respective lines
and are authorities on their subjects.
The bill provides that the personnel
of the commission which will direct
the work, will be Alaskans, but ip
the case of special assistance being
needed the services of any of the
biological survey specialists would
be available, just as they have al
ready been of assistance in building
up the fur farming and reindeer

raising in the Territory.
“The commission as provided in
the bill. will be made up of Alaskans
and will be a strictly non-political
body. It is quite obvious that ar.v
commission wholly subject to appoin
tment or dismissal through any of
fice which in itself is filled by pol
itical appointment will be unable to
carry on any definite policy. Feder
al money to defray all expenses and
a resident non-political game com
mission to direct the work more
nearly approaches the ideal.
“The proposed bill is a long step
toward local control. It provides that
the commission shall apply the re
gulations within seasonable limits
as they may determine by climate
and geographic conditions. The com
mission will be made up of repres
entative citizens of the different dis
tricts with due respect to wishes of
the residents of those districts and
of coure they will only establish
seasons license fees and appoint as
sistants after giving due considera
tion to the wishes of the residents of
the regions affected.
"The residents of Ketehikan were
pioneers in the matter of game con
servation in organizing the first
Game Protective Association in Al
aska. Their demands for corrective
legislation with relation to game and
fur bearing animals are practically
all met in the pending bill. They
have therefore acted consistently in
endorsing it. Other clubs and asso
ciations organized subsequently and
upon the same principles can do no
"House Bill Xo. 12143 does not
represent the wishes of any one dis
tinct organization or individual but
gives the opportunity to put into ef
fect regulations best suited for the
whole Territory. It appears to be a
truly Alaska Game Bill."
HYDER CLAIMS BONDED
The Virginia group of four claims
and the Duff claim, adjoining, have
been bonded by A. G. Larson, who
took option on them just before
leaving for the south about three
weeks ago, says the Hyder Miner.
The bond is for $75,000 and calls
for a five per cent cash payment,
v.'hi h has been made. The balance
of the paVments are spread over a
period of three years.
Active development of the proper
ty is to be prosecuted throughout
the winter under the direct super
vision of Mr. Larson. Wm. Bunting
negotiated the deal, and has made
preliminary arrangements for open
ing up the camp. The Salmon valley
wagon road runs across the eastern
part of the Virginia and past the
camp, and there is no transportation
problem to solve. The property is
11 miles from the ocean port of
Hyder.
AUSTRIAN RAINS CAUSE BIG
LOSS TO FARMERS
VIENNA, DEC. 5—Six weeks of;
steady rains, broken by but few dry
days, have wrought great damage
throughout Austria.
The tower of the village church
in Tauf Kirchen, Upper Austria, col
apsed this week, killing two persons _
and injuring several others. Salz
burg Cathedral, containing the fa-,
mous Rupert Chapel, is so damaged
that public subscriptions have been .
opened for a repair fund. In Vien
na hundreds of buildings are re
ported as seriously damaged by the
continued downpour. In this city.
construction almost universally is
of brick faced with about an inch of
plaster, ruled to imitate stone. Ev
erywhere this plaster covering is
peeling, exposing the brick, and if1
frost should come before the build
ing get dry. very heavy damages1
are predicted. The situation is ag- j
gTavated by the fact that there has j
been virtually no repair work done!
since the first year of 'Hie war.

“KENTUCKIANS" TONIGHT
The eternal clash between the
i mountaineers of Kentucky and the
j inhabitants, is thrashed out again
I in the Charles Maigne production
of “The Kentuckians." featuring
Monte Blue, the attraction for the
Coliseum Theatre tonight. The film
was made from the popular novel
by John Fox, Jr. and it retains the
j fine characterizations, the simple
mountain atmosphere, the dramatic
!situations that abound in the book.
Monte Blue is a heroic figure a.
Boone Stallard. the backbone of his
clan, and the only man who could
! quell fueds between the different
families. Stallard is sent to the
Kentucky Legislature and early
there he has a clash with Randolph
Marshall of the Blue Grass coun
i try who has his own ideas about
the way to rule the mountaineers.
In the end. however, Boone con
vinces Marshall that he car. handle
his own people and that they can
fight their own problems, thus mak
ing for a union of these two ele
ments of Kentucky civilization in
common accord.
Mr. Blue’s leading woman is Dia
na Allen. Others in the cast in
clude, Frank Joyner. Wilfred Lytell
and John Miltern.
