PETITION FROM FOUR TOWNS
GOING FOR WARP: SIGNED
* BY MAJORITY FOLK
The co-operation of the citizens
of Seward and the Gateway is ask
ed in a letter received from citizens
of Kenai peninsula with respect to
repealing all legislation affording
protection to any and all variety of
black bear, and likewise, the lifting
of laws on brown bear or silvertip
species. The reasonsvare clearly set
forth in the following copy of the
petition adressed to the Alaska
Game Commission by the citizens
of Kenai peninsula.
On the editorial page will be
found a direct message to the peo
ple of this community from the
petitioners
To the Alaska Fur & Game Com
mission. Juneau Alaska.
We. the under-signed, residents
of the southern Kenai peninsula,
by common consent are agreed
that drastic changes in our present
regulations affording protection to
the Alaska brown bear are urgently
and immediately needed. The fol
lowing statements can be vouched
for by some of the signers of this
petition, and these facts are ac
cepted by every member of this
community.
Namely: That the Alaska brown
bear have in the past two years in
creased in an alarming and in an
almost incredible ratio. That their
depredations, especially on moose,
constitute the gravest menace, and
that it may in the near future ef
fect their extermination.
Andrew Sholin. whose name ap
pears in this petition, in a trip to
the Caribou Hills during June 1929,
near the head of Ketchemak Bay,
found numerous instances of the
destructive proclivities of these
animals. He found the remains of
numerous moose, chiefly cows and
calves that had been killed by the
brown bear, and brown and black
bear both singly and in groups were
sighted daily.
Gus Neshlund of Seldovia, in a
brief trip on the lower Anchor
Point river saw no fewer than 50
brown bear.

mains of a cow and calf moose were
found in the residence district of
Homer that had been killed by
bear.
These are but a few of the many
verifiable instances of the destruc
tive habits of these animals toward
the most valuable of our wild life.
In addition, prospectors,' hunters
and trappers of experience are
aware that these animals are a
very real menace to hurfian life;
that stock raisers here are often
handicapped because of this men
ace to domestic stock where such
animals must be ranged at a dis
tance from human habitation;
prospecting here has not only been
retarded but has almost discontin
ued.
Hence, we are agreed that as an
economic asset, tlieie can be no
comparison between such valuable
animals as moose and caribou and
of these brown bear.
We are also agreed that the in
terests of hte rseidents of the Ter
ritory be held paramount to those
of outside sportsmen and tourists,
or to that of any non-residential
influence; and that due considera
tion be given their personal wel
fare.
We would suggest that as a
pledge of good faith and verity,
that game wardens be sent here
and to all other districts where
similar conditions exist, and that
in company with competent local
guides, they make a thorough in
vestigation of this question.
We therefore petition the Alaska

Fur & Game Commission, that ail
legislation affording protection to
the Alaska brown bear or silvertip
species of bear, be repealed in this
district of the southern Kenai pen
insula .
Moreover, we advise the necessity
of placing a substantial bounty on
the species of bear, or if thought
more practical, that experienced
hunters be employed to reduce
their number within safe bounds.
And finally, we believe it to be
advisable that all legislation af
fording protection to any and all1
of the black bear species or varie- j
ties be repealed in these districts j
of the southern Kenai peninsula, j
