swering the petition concerning
the opening of the beaver season
in the Seward and Alaska Rail
road area, Dr. W. H. Chase,
chairman of * the Alaska J)ame
Commission, made an official
statement “In answer to the
complaints of trappers that the
catch is not normal.
“I might advise that the num
ber of trappers are increasing
each year with many over-lap
ping those established on trap
lines making individual catches
smaller; but I believe when the
season’s catch is checked it will
be found that as many fur-bear
ing animals will have been tak
en as the last fiscal year.
“It would be impossible for the
Game Commission to change the
regulation without giving 90-days
i notice unless given power by a
special act of congress. Every
j effort is being made by the com
| mission to' protect the resident
trapper.’’ .
