REVISION OF FOOLISH FUR LAW
WOULD PLACE MORE MEN
IN THE FIELD
(Anchorage Times)
The United States government is
giving the trapper and prospector a
"raw deal” by che enforcement of
“foolish trapping laws” that drive the
trappers to ‘‘bootlegging furs,” says
S. Vv. -Jensen, a trapper and prospec
tor from the Yentna district, who re
cently caiied in Anchorage on a busi
ness trip.
Jensen brought in furs and a small
quantity of gold dust which he says
he recently panned out on Clearwatei
creek.
“I would like to see the time come
! when the fur laws are revised tc
: give the Alaskan prospector a fail
| opportunity to trap enough fur tc
I pay his prospecting expenses. Most ol
the trappers make their stake foi
mining from catching fur-bearing an
imals, but of recent months the fur
regulations, laws and rules changes sc
fast that a fellow never knows when
: he brings furs to market whether he
is going to the bank or to jail.

He then took his fellow compatriot
to comfortable lodgings in a down

his fellow man was gone, with $380.

sub-heading over a story published
yesterday, in regard to his support of
the Admiral Line. “We cannot show
favoritism if both the Alaska steam
ship company and the Admiral line
give satisfactory boat service to An

Steamship company sticks to its de
cision to abandon this port for pas
