CAPTURE OF FUR-BEARING
ANIMALS ISSUED JUNEAU
FORMERY SENT WASHINGTON
Commission Doing Everything in
Their Power to Foster This
Branch of Development
Leon Urbach. Seward licensing offi
cer for the Alaska Game Commission,
in the lust mail from Juneau head
quarters of the commission received
the following bulletin relative to the
capture of fur hearing animals:
“The office of the Alaska Game
Commission and Bureau of Biological
Survey at Juneau announces that in
the future permits for the capture of
land fur bearing animals in Alaska for
propagation purposes will be issued
from the Juneau office, and that ap
plications need no longer suffer delay
by being sent to the Washington of
fice as has been the custom iu the
past. This arrangement is made in
accordance with Regulation 22 of the
Alaska Game Law.
Mr. Walker, Executive Officer of the
Commission, states that the Biologi
cal Survey and Alaska Game Com
mission are doing all in their power
to foster the development of fur
farming in Alaska and permits for
the capture of a limited number of fur
bearing animals for propagation pur
poses are granted to persons who
show they are prepared to take proper
care of fur bearing animals they may
capture under permit.
Applications for capture permits j
should state name in full, residence !
and postoffice address, location of fur :
farm, or where they propose to keep
the animals, together with a brief
statement of the facilities the appli
cant has for the care of any animals
taken, the number and kind of ani
mals which it is desired to capture,
and if the capture operations are not
to be carried on by the applicant, the
application should give the name of
the person who is to engage in the j
cant lire.
’“The permit is issued without charge
but the person who is to do the cap
ture work must hold a valid license
under the Alaska Game Law permit
ting him to take land fur-bearing ani
mals. Persons who can qualify for
the resident trapping license at a fee
of $2 need only take out that license.
Non-resident citizens must have the
$50 license, and aliens must have the
$100 license.
“Mr. Walker states that while they
are quite liberal in the granting of
such permits, they endeavor to make
certain that the person is actually go
ing into bona fide fur farming and is
prepared to care for the animals tak
en. He also points out that due to
the facts that few persons are expe
rienced in the care of wild animals,
that permits will ordinarily be issued
for only small numbers, which he
states is sufficient to enable the ap
plicant to get a start to experiment,
and to determine whether or not he
can raise them successfully. Addi
tional permits may usually be obtain
ed if the person finds he can success
fully raise the animals and is prepared
to care for them.
“Permits will not ordinarily be
granted according to Mr. Walker for
the capture of animals to be removed
from the Territory for he states it is
the aim of the Commission to foster
the development of fur farming in the
Territory.
“Permittees are required to have
the permit in their possession in cap
turing animals and are prohibited from
destroying the dens or burrows of ani
mals in the capture and are prohib
ited from using smoke or chemicals
in capturing them.
“Permittees are required to comply
with the provisions of the Alaska
Game Laws and regulations and the
Territorial laws. At the expiration of
the calendar year for which a permit
is granted, they shall submit a report
of operations conducted under the per
mit. The Commission also points out
that when animals have been captured
and fur-farming operations have been
actually established, parties are re
quired to have both the Territorial fur
farm license and the Alaska Game
Commission fur farm license.”

NEW REGULATIONS ISSUED CON
TAINING CLLOSED SEASON
FOR INDEFINITE TIME
The close season on sea otter which
was fixed by regulations issued in
1921 to end November 1, next, will be
continued indefinitely according to an
announcement made by the Cordova
office of the U. S. Bureau of Fisher
ies. A new regulation to this effect
was issued by the Department of Com
merce October 17, and was made pub
lic last week.
Official Circular No. 285 issued by
Secretary Hoover in 1921 carried a
regulation saying: “The killing of sea
otter in the waters of Alaska is pro
hibited until Nov. 1, 1925.”
The new regulations regarding them
whicli was issued some days ago said:
“Circular No. 285 is not to be con
strued as permitting the killing of sea
otter after November 1, 1925. The
Federal law absolutely prohibits such
killing except under authority of the
Secretary of Commerce. No such au
thority has been granted and the prohi
bition of the law, therefore, continues
in force.”
