LICENSING GUIDES. .
The licensing of guides for guiding I
big game hunters has apparently de-'
veloped into a monopoly in the Terri
tory. The Territorial law provides
that guides must be licensed, which
is proper, but the game commission
goes beyond its powers, we believe.!
in refusing a license to men who have
been in the Territory for years, know
the country and are of exemplary
character.
Any merchant desiring to open a
business in a town may make applica- j
tion for a license, and upon going!
through the necessary preliminaries '
may receive authority to do business.
Why cannot this be done with game
guides who present credentials and
the fee?
Last summer the Gateway was com
pelled to cable Cordova for permis
sion for a man to guide a big game
hunter, the applicant being a man
who is entirely familiar with the dis
trict and who has probably killed more
bears than any two men in this divi
sion. Permission was given for the
guide to take out his party, with the
proviso that he could take no others, i
The fee was sent in, but up to date,"
despite all efforts to ascertain a rea
son for its refusal, the commission
has not issued a license, nor has it
returned the license fee.
The party was held up in Seward
for seven days awraiting the return i
of ISr. Hardy to Anchorage, and upon
has failure to do so, Commissioner
Chase of Cordovs was appealed to,
with the result that permission was
cabled for the guide to “take out this
party only.”
The hunter knew whom be wanted
for guide: refused to take any other,
and secured a good bag of game op
the trip. He mas eminently satisfied
and declared that he would return
next season, '‘provided be could ob
tain the guide be desired ”
As we stated before, any mar of
good character, vouched for by a re
putable citizen, should obtain a li
cense by paying the fee. If he vio
lates the law on the trip, his license
can easily be taken away.
This is but one of the many evil?
thrust upon Alaskans by autocratic
bureau officials. There are many oth
ers. Seward has many fine guides
who know the country thoroughly and
who already have licenses. There are
others equally competent mho should
be given a license if they apply for it.
TOTING OUR BURDENS.
In a recent dispatch from the City
of Destiny on Puget Sound, attention
was called to the many blessings en
joyed by Alaska being permitted to
trade with Seattle, and horn- much Se
attle had done for the Territory while
growing from a hamlet by the sea to
a city of goodly proportions. "Which
was all very well until one considers
that Seattle enjoys probably 75 per
cent of Alaska’s trade, and maintains
several fleets of steamers to carry us
to and fro between ports and to bring
us goods at a stipend.
But there is such a thing as being
too chesty over the matter. Alaska
was here long before Seattle was con
ceived of. It is true that Alaska has
gradually gone backward while Seattle
has gone forward, but this is more
from national hindrances rather than
from any fault of the Territory.
Alaska has been shipping from 5©
to 100 millions in products into Se
attle for many years, and the Terri
torial trade has done more to build
up the Puget Sound city than any
other one factor. Numerous hot elm
are supported by Alaskan trade and
commission houses and wholesalers
reap a golden harvest.
Instead of telling what Seattle has
done for Alaska, the citizens of the
Puget Sound metropolis should tell T
Alaska’s interests in Seattle.
