WARNING IN REGARD TO
DESTRUCTION OF GAME
Gen. Circ. No. 115
To All Concerned:
It again becomes necessary to is
sue a warning to all employes of the
Alaska railroad as well as members
of contractors’ gangs in connection
with the protection of game and fish 1
in Alaska.
The punishment for disobedience of
the law or regulations covering the
killing of game and fish is very se
vere fines being fixed as high as
$1,000 or 90 days’ imprisonment.
While the laws and regulations per
mit within reasonable restrictions,
the use of game and fish as food and
at certain seasons as an object of re
creation for real sportsmen, they also
incorporate the following prohibitions
generally speaking.
1. Their use as a matter of. sale
and exchange.
2. The use of any method of
catching or killing that involves
waste or wranton destruction,
such as dynamiting streams or
. lakes or the use of unsports
manlike implements.
3. The killing of females of cer
tain species, and generally any
killing during breeding season,
or of young game, while it is
immature.
Surely our employes and all other
right thinking persons are interested
in preventing the extermination of
Alaska’s abundant wild game and the
co-operation of each to this end is
solicited. Any violation specifically
’ called to the attention of this office,
if perpetrated by an employe or mem
ber of contracting gang, will meet
' with summary treatment.
