EAGLES AND HORNADAY.
The American Museum of Natural
History, the moving spirit of which
is Dr. Hornaday, has begun a cam
paign against the Alaska law au
thorizing the payment of bounty on
the American eagle, and says there
is danger that the species may be
fore long become extinct. It con
tends that the eagle usually feeds
on rodents and other animals that
are harmful to crops. It also con
tends that the separate states ought
not to have any control over, the
eagles, as they are represented to
be migratory and not properly sub
ject to the jurisdiction of any one
state.
If the people who run the Ameri-'
can Museum of Natural History j
would investigate the situation in
Alaska, comments the Alaska (-Ju
neau) Daily Empire, they would dis-!
cover that here at least the eagles 1
live chiefly on the food fish that
constitute the basis for the prin
cipal industry' of this Territory, and ‘
they would discover that the ex
termination of eagles and other fish
destroving birds and animals here
would count for the conservation of |
Alaska's material resources—the re-;
sources that sustain life and count
in the development of the country
and people. The eagles are also de
structive of deer and other game
animals and of game birds.
One of the menaces to Alaska is
non-resident hobby riders, most no
torious among whom is Gifford
Pinchot. hut not the least of whom
is Dr. Hornaday.

FLEW THE FLU.

** (By Caribou Jack) **

* **«*««’,e».****•t*** Pt
When you loaf about the city
Where the gossip sticks around—
Where the stuff so cute and witty
Sprouts within the fertile ground:
Where affairs of absent members
Are corrected to the true—
Each suggestion is a question:
“Has yer people got the FLU?”
Where the genders meet the classes,
Where the classes meet the clan,
W’here the widows and tfce lasses
Build the fate of mortal man;
Where the sourdough meets the
miner.
Where the miner makes the stew.
You can hear ’em when you’re near
cm:
“Has yer comrade got the flu?”
In the forum and the cabin.
Every place that people stir,
You can hear the awful gabbin'
And the same old fluejr whir;
If you’re quiet, “STILL" and eary
And know how ti bile the brew—
Then jist bile it—and then spile it,
And you’ll never have the FLU!
Work has been started by the
Alaska Union Fisheries company on
its new cannery on Baranoif island.
A building large enough to accom
modate a two-line cannery will be
built, but only one line of ma
chinery installed at the present
time.

If the gift. Reincarnation,
! In high heaven came to me—
Know the choice for earth’s return- ]
i . I
mg—
.Could my choice be wide and free?]
Coronets are ofttimes heavy:
Fades as quickly form divine;
Laurel chaplet? All consuming—
Wit's but fleeting—rare as wine.
.Fame entices, ever lures us—
What is wit? A flashing jade—
.Crowns of unrest are not easy—
Fairest blossoms soonest fade.
! If the gift, Reincarnation.
In high heaven came to me.
I would be a ragged robin—
Just to be as brave as he!
Re that gay Alaska robin.
Winging Northward every spring—
Passing earth-folk — as they mur
murmur—
I would do my best—and sing!
Watch them gather ’round their
j campfires—
i Still complaining, sun or storm—
!'N'e3th my wing my head I'd cover;
Courage keeps the heart-strings
warm!
When it cleared. I'd hunt a living.
Pouring out my praise to God
That a robin He had made me.
Not a whining, earth-bound clod!
Gift supreme, in bird or human.
Seeks not pelf, sees good in all;
; Sings in fair, or stormy season . . .
God doth mark that robin’s fall!

The Poliey brothers. Fred and
Frank, well-known former business
men of Anchorage, who joined a
stampede of Alaskans to the oil
fields of Texas last year, propose to
return to Alaska this spring, ac
cording to a letter received fron
them by an Alaska friend now win
tering in Seattle. The Poliey boys
say that many Alaskans in Texas
| will buit that country and return to
the Northland this spring. The Po!
,ley brothers say they expect to go
to Hyder and engage in business
: there. Hyder seems to be the des
tination of most of the Alaskans,
now in Texas, who plan to leave
those parts.
The Poliey brothers' have no
.knocks for the great oil fields of
i Texas. They say the oil discoveries
are all that has been claimed for
/.hem, but it takes capital in plenty
with which to operate. The oil
lands have long since been taken up
by the early settlers, and it is these
'pioneers who are reaping a rich har
dest in the sale of their holdings,
or in leasing them.
The competition in business is
keen and is getting to be much over
done. The Poliey boys think Alaska
offers better opportunities for men
with limited means to engage in
I business.
A crew of ten men arrived in!
Juneau recently on the Princess,
Mary to start work at Bridget cove |
for the Deep Sea Salvage company!
in connection with the raising of i
the Princess Sophia.
C. W. Mortimer, who has been .
foreman of the crew this winter and
in charge of the company’s barges
and boats at Bridget cove and in
Gastineau channel, informed a rep
resentative of the Alaska (Juneaul J
Empire that just what definite plans i
the company may have at this time j
are not known to him, but that he
had been authorized to get the big ,
company tug J. M. Coleman in com
mission as soon as possible, and to
take the tup and the men to Bridget
-cove to start preliminary work on
the big barges there.
I Although there were some severe
[storms in Lynn ■ canal this winter,
jail the company's barges and the
tug Harold C., which have been in
the cove during the winter, have
fared very well. The J. M. Coleman [
was berthed at Douglas during the I
winter, and is in good shape. A :
crew is now being assembled for,
her. j
Daniel Dawson, son of C. M. Daw-:
son. founder of the Deep Sea Sal- ‘
vage company, will have charge of ■
the crew. He has just been dis- j
charged from the army and has
never been in Alaska before.
Mr. Mortimer said that there was ;
every indication that the compans
which he represents would be ready
early in May to take a lift at the
hull of the Princess Sophia.
The Deep Sea Salvage company j
worked busily last year preparing [
for the work of raising the Princess
Sophia, but was' not quite ready for |
the final task when the winter j
weather prevented further opera- j
tions and the whole project was put j
over until spring.
