Seward Gateway:
I see in the Gateway that a
bill is pending in Congress to
protect the eagles.
I wish some of those sawdust
brained people would go out where ;
they can see the fact before they |
undertake to broadcast or talk1
about things that they don’t know i
my thing about.

I have watched their destruc- [
Lion for nine years now and I
am positive what I am talking
about.
When we first came to Nuka
Island in the year 1921 in June, j
we could see that there was not
much of anything on the island j
but eagles; eagles on every point ;
and every rock in the bay. I did j
not think anything of it at that
time, for to me the eagle was a j
wonderful bird. Anyway we were j
busy building our living house, j
but the first day we went out j
to a rock where we saw so many
seagulls we could see right there j
what was going on. There were ;
egg shells all over the place where j
the eagles had sucked them by
the hundreds.
The next rock was a half mile
farther off, so we rowed out to
it. There we found two Eider
duck’s nests with one and two
eggs in them. These were the
first Eider duck eggs and ducks
I had ever seen in my life, so
you can imagine how I looked
forward to see the young, but I
never did see them. The eagles
were right there all the time. I
think the two hens laid ten eggs
but all we saw was broken shells.
Then one nice morning we came
there just when Mr. Eagle had '
finished killing one of the ducks, j
That settled me with eagles for
all time and right then I started
to kill them. We have shot them
by the hundreds and still we have
lots of them.
We have now 15 or 20 pair of
Eider ducks but the eagles take
four out of ten of the duck eggs
every summer.
Also, during our first year here
we could see on every rock and
point the skeletons of ducks where
the eagles picked them all win
ter; now, of course, the foxes take
what they leave.
It cannot tak3 a person with
common sense long to see that
the eagle is the enemy of all wa
ter fowl and I am positive that
in the nesting season they live
entirely on eggs of all kinds and
the young birds.
I have seen foxes, mink and
otter when they bring their kit
tens to the beaches. They keep
them right close around timber
line, with one eye cocked for Mr.
Eagle all the time, as he is the
only enemy in the air they have
to look out for.
All we can see is destruction

he is just a pest now, to every
thing that is beautiful and useful ;
and all Alaska should get togeth

have the chamber of commerce
send it to our delegate to prevent
the passing of such an unrea
