TO PROTECT THE
GAME IN ALASKA
Association of Audubon Societies
Has $5,000 for the
Work
Tins National Association of
Audubon Societies have announc
ed that arrangements had been
completed for starting an exten
sive campaign to preserve tlie
birds, game, and fur-bearing ani
mals of Alaska. The sum of $5,
000 aireaay has been subscribed
for this purpose, and more funds
will be available as needed.
The importance of this move
ment becomes apparent when it
is remembered that for years to
come many of the inhabitants of
the territory must depend upon
game birds and animals almost
entirely for their meat .supply.
The flocking of the settlers to
Northwest Canada during the last
few years has made important
changes in the conditions of wa
ter bird life in America. The
draining of innumerable sloughs
and grassy lakes is driving the
breeding ducks and geese furth
er north, and Alaska ultimately
will be their ehief summer home
on this continent.
"We shall Infill by inaugurat
ing bird study in all I lit? schools,
willi 1 lie use of free literature and
colored pictures of birds," said T.
Gilbert Pearson, who, as secretary
of the National Association of Au
dubon Societies, has charge of the
arrangements. "We have the
hearty co-operation of the Unit
ed Stales Bureau of Education in
the school work we shall under
take. We also will employ guards
to protect many of the important
bird colonies and to prosecute il
legal killers of game."
An agent of the association will
sail from Seattle in a few days
to investigate and report on cer
tain existing conditions, and act
ive work in other directions will
begin at once.-Exchange.
