ALASKA BUFFALO
It would be quite a novelty if Alaska imported a few
of these animals.
Owing to the rapid increase in the government buf
falo herd in Yellowstone National Park, surplus buffalo
are now offered to persons who will pay for the cost of
capturing, crating and delivering to the nearest point,
Gardiner, Mont.
This cost is about $85 for each buffalo, and express
charges from Gardiner to the point of destination must
also be paid by the prospective owner. Bull Buffalo only
will be disposed of, unless cows are desired for starting a
private herd.
Applicants should address the Superintendent at
Yellowstone park, Wyo., stating the purpose for which
the buffalo are desired, the facilities available for their
care and the age of animal preferred.
In order that there may be no misunderstanding on
the part of persons who may contemplate securing a buf
falo for the children’s Christmas present, the govern
ment’s announcement states that “these buffalo, original
ly wild animals, living for years in practically a natural
state, can not in any sense be considered as suitable for
pets.”
SUTHERLAND OFFERS NO HOPE TO
INDIVIDUAL FISHERMEN
Most of the Alaska Indians and, it is said, some of
the white individual fishermen intend to vote for Delegate
Sutherland for Delegate to Congress because he has said
he favors the abolition of fish traps. How absurd this
would be, ought to be apparent when it is considered that
Delegate Sutherland has done more to make the abolition
of fish traps in Alaska impossible than any other indivi
dual in Alaska. Mr. Sutherland has always opposed full
Territorial form of government for Alaska and he speci
fically opposed turning the control of the fisheries over
to the people of the Territory. Mr. Sutherland knows,
as everybody else knows, that there is not the slightest
chance to secure the abolition of fish traps as long as the
Federal government retains control of the fisheries and
Mr. Sutherland favors and always has favored Federal
control.
Do not make any mistake. The Empire does not be
lieve the people of Alaska want to abolish the fish traps.
It feels certain that they ought not to want to do so. How
ever, it always has believed and believes jiow that Alas
kans are better informed on the fisheries question than
congress and that they have greater interest in the sub
ject_as they have in all phases of Alaska government.
They ought to have the say about the government of the
fisheries and the game and other things that Mr. Suther
land has helped to withhold from them.
When those who favor abolition of the fish traps vote
for Mr. Sutherland they will vote for one who has done
his level best to make certain the failure of their dreams.

VALDEZ GRAND JURY

ANCHORAGE OFFICE
ANCHORAGE CHAMBER AND OTH
ER ORGANIZATIONS TAKE
ACTION
The following resolution sponsor
ed by Maurice L. Sharp, chemist for
the Alaska railroad, at Anchorage,
and T. W. Nelson, janitor at the gov
ernment hospital at Anchorage, is
self explanatory.
The resolution follows:
To the Honorable John G. Sargent,
Attorney General, Department of Jus
tice, Washington D. C.
Be it resolved by the Grand Jury
of the Territory of Alaska, Third divi
sion, in regular session assembled,
That Whereas it has been brought
to our attention that the office of the
Assistant District Attorney, located at
Anchorage, Third division, Territory
of Alaska, is to be transferred in said
division of said territory, to a town
with less than* one half the population
of Anchorage;
And Whereas the office of the as
sistant district attorney has been
maintained in Anchorage for the past
ten years, and is at present serving
a greater community and transacting
three times the business according to
the records in the office of the Clerk
of the Court, than the Commissioner’s
office at Seward;
And Whereas Anchorage is the
headquarters of the Alaska railroad,
thus affording immediate transporta
tion facilities to points along the rail
road should the occasion demand it;
And Whereas the boat transporta
tion service out of Anchorage is su
perior to that supplied from Seward
in communication with the towns
along Cook Inlet;
And Whereas we believe that this
office can be maintained more effi
ciently and more economically at its
present location in the said incorpor
ated city of Anchorage, Third division
Territory of Alaska.
Now, Therefore, we do most re
spectfully recommend that the De
partment of Justice retain the office
of the Assistant District Attorney in
Anchorage, Third division, Territory
of Alaska.
And Be It Further Resolved that a
copy of these resolutions be sent to
the Hon. George A. Parks, Governor
of the Territory of Alaska, and the
Honorable William D. Coppernoll,
United States Attorney for the Third
division, Territory of Alaska.
