fy took the same stand when he demanded that Oregon
was not worth the holding. The pink-blooded Sybarites
hampered and harrassed the men of the covered wagon
while they transformed the Western wilderness into
what it is today.
Yet the germ of democracy is too well rooted to al- \
low of its destruction even in this day of uncertainty.
Assaults like that, of Outdoor Life will continue and
be met by cold logic and sound reason, which will prove
the weapons of defeat.
Observations made on the bear question indicate
that this is the most numerous of Alaska wild game.
There are 590,884 square miles of territory for the him- j
ter of which Kodiak is but approximately 180 sq. miles.
The Gateway has on file at least a dozen instances
where, during the present season, bears have cleaned
out caches and cabins. One might go on indefinitely,
citing names and dates, but of the dozen mentioned, The
Gateway will gladly furnish Mr. McGuire with names
and dates.
Stewart Edward White, quoted by Outdoor Life,j
protests against accepting the word of the injured par-i
ty as evidence of his loss. It would be interesting to |
know what would be competent evidence, and how those
who cater with the pen to the Sybarites would go about
gathering it. It might not be a bad suggestion to have
these gentlemen of the Game Commission desert their
mahogany desks, remove their white collars and cease
manicuring their nails, load up a sled with grub and
“neck” it out a hundred miles, find himself hungry
when the bears destroy it, and then call a commission
to make a report to Congress in which the bear is iden
tified.
It should require no further evidence than the ar
ray of misstatements offered by those who imposed upon
Outdoor Life to wholly discredit the Alaska Game Com
mission and the cause of the Sybarites seeking to sub
ordinate Alaskan human life and property to the safety i
of predatory animals. Unfortunately the controversy
reacts upon the big game hunters who come to Alaska,
and creates an animosity that would not exist if Alas
kans had received fail’ treatment, and were allowed a
voice in the administration of this resource. There is no
animosity against the big game hunter as such, but
when it comes to a matter <>f life and death, Alaskans
will be found offering a solid phalanx of opposition to
rules that nullify every principle of American frontier
progress.

Editor, Seward Gateway:
In reading over the issue of the
Seward Gateway dated May 3rd, I
notice an item in regard to the let
ters received from several different
states containing protests against
Lhe killing of brown bear and the
destruction of game trout.
I wish to state that the writers of
such letters are very much in error
when they call a Dolly Varden trout j
;i game fish. Certainly no real ;
sportsman would consider them [
such. We are making an effort to '
;id the Becharoff Lake spawning
grounds of these pests and are
making headway. We expect to'
take a great many during the com
ing season.
I have spent a large part of my j
life on or near the salmon streams j
pf Alaska and I consider the plac- ;•
mg of a bounty on these trout the j
greatest simple step ever taken to j
help build up the red salmon run.
In regard to the argument as to
whether the trout destroy enough
young salmon to justify their ex
tinction, will say that if the people
upholding such a belief would only
pay a short visit to the Bristol Bay
spawning grounds, they would not ;
Duly cease to argue but would be
\mazed to think that it is possible
for any of the young red salmon to
?ver reach the ocean.
In closing I wish to state that
during the past season not a single
game trout has been destroyed at
Becharoff Lake. A continuation
if this work will not only help the
salmon industry but will also be a j
great help to the local residents, ;
;.he merchants and the country at |
arge. Yours very truly, An old !
Sourdough.

An Independent Feeling
No matter what their income, every young couple should
have a bank accont.
It is more than a reserve to meet unexpected expenses.
It is more than a means of obtaining more comforts
and conveniences.
A bank account and a regular method of saving create*
a feeling of independence, a feeling of self-respect.
Money is not everything, but the lack of sufficient funds
often brings unhappiness. Do not let your life be threat
ened by financial worries.
