GAME PROTECTION IMPORTANT
The importance of protecting the
game in Alaska from inroads by hunt- i
ers and alien cannery workers is at i
least seeping through to official heads ;
in Washington. Next to the fish and
fur Alaska's big game is her largest
asset. For many years such men as ;
Ernest Walker, W. C. Henderson, and
others, at the head of the biological
survey, have sought to impress upon
Alaskans and congressmen the neces
sity for more rigid game protection,
and elective propagation. The de- i
partment heads at Washington have
had so many weighty matters to look
after that they have neglected our
game. But things have changed, due
primarily to the biological heads of
the Territory. New and more strin
gent laws are being enacted and the
number of wardens will soon be in
creased to a point where it will not ;
be safe for any but prospectors and ;
settlers in need of the meat, killing
big game out of season.
Alaska needs a law on the order
of the Canadian law, prohibiting i
aliens from owning guns unless they i
are licensed, and otherwise prohib
iting undesirable residents from car- ■
rying firearms. The law is fair, as
a man not a resident of the United
States has no business bearing arms.
Cannery workers to the westward
are persistent violators of the game
laws. This could also be stopped by
prohibiting cannery crews from
bringing arms into the Territory at
a time when the game season is clos
ed. Much young game is killed and
served in the cannery mess houses
cr taken outside.
Many thousands of dollars are paid
out to Seward guides by hunting par
ties, and these guides, knowing the
benefits accruing, are zealous in pre- ,
venting infractions of the law. An- ;
chorage and Seward are well organ
ized for game protection, and other
sections are rapidly falling into line.
The life of a newspaper editor is
hard, Just as soon as the trouble in
Russia is over, the round the world
flyers contributed hard-spelling names
to our vocabulary; and now the war
in China has started.
DESTROYERS DISPATCHED
TO SHANGHAI WAR ZONE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8.—
The United States destroyers Tracy,
Boric, Smith and Thompson have
been ordered to Shanghai and the
gunboat Sacramento to Amoy, by
Admiral Washington, commander of
the Atlantic fleet.
It is presumed that this action
was requested by the American dip
lomatic service in Shanghai and has
been approved, presumably, by the
representatives of other foreign na
tions there.
Shanghai, Sept. 8.—Failing to ef
fect an armistice at a conference of
the leaders of the opposing factions,
the Chinese commercial and finan
cial interests of Shanghai are endea
voring to induce both sides to desig
nate a neutral zone surrounding the
city of Shanghai, which will be im
mune from military operations.
The troop concentration in the
Quin San and Soo Chow districts is
continuing and the rushing of refu
gees into Shanghai is unchecked.
Read Admiral David Murray An
derson, British commander of the
Yangtze patrol, has been designated
as commander of all the foreign war
craft in Shanghai, which numbers 10
boats.
The Woosung district was not dis
turbed yesterday, although the Chin
ese gunboats Yuan Chien and Kiang
Kang, which wei’e serving duty at
Che Kiang /were dispatched to Liuho,
where the Nanking fleet is expected
to attack, and will be supported by
the Fukien naval forces, with the Ki
ang Su forces covering Lin Soo
Chow, Quin San, Liuho, Ping Wang
and Yrih Sin.
The Che Kiang line extends from
Liuho to Hwang Tu, Tsing, Puh Sien
and westward to Taihu Lake.

HOOVER TO MEDIATE
IN RIO GRANDE RIVER
IMPOUNDING DISPUTE
DENVER, Colo., Sept. 8.—In an ef
fort to permit relaxation of a recla
mation service degree virtually tieing
up all irrigation developments on the
upper Dio Grande reaches, the Rio
Grande commission will begin a se
ries of hearings early in September
at points between Alamosa, Colo., and
El Paso, Tex.
Secretary of Commerce, Herbert E.
Hoover will represent th e United
States government as mediator. The
party will include representatives of
the federal government and the state
govrenments of Colorado and New
Mexco. The trip will be made by
motor and hearings will be held at
probably twenty points along the riv
er. They will be attended by river
j commissioners and engineering ex
perts.
Development of the upper portions
of the Rio Grande above the elephant
Butte dam project dates from 1903,
when the Mexican government pro
tested to the United States that de
velopment in Southern Colorado and
Northern New Mexico was robbing
the Juarez district of its water sup
! ply. This difficulty was ironed out
■ three years later when, by an inter
national treaty, the United States a
greed to deliver 60,000 acre feet of
water annually to the Juarez section.
•The Mexican government renounced
all further rights to the waters of the
sRio Grande.
