disastrous thing for humanity.

ALASKA UAM£ LAWS
Like everything else respecting
Alaska, the game laws for the most
part are a joke. Not until the ter
ritory secures statehood can there
be much improvement. As it is now,
Dis game hunters paying a license
-— ——-iwr- rustuhce,
cannot handle game, save in a lim
ited s?nse. Therefore, only those
*ho have the time to get out in
th? jills and kill their own game
can pre fit by the law. Those who
remain in town busy with their
wor'i must buy outside beef and
mutton or else depend upon then
friends to get an occasional piece
of fresh meat. To allow bona fide
settlers to sell a limited amount of
game would provide them with mon
ev tc, develop their places and at
the same time give town residents
cheap meat occasionally. L'uder
such a flan there would be no
more game slaughtered than under
the present arrangements. Nathe
dogs and wolves and others can se
cure nlenty of game, which is de
nied to the town resident.—Juneau
Dispatch.

in the big increase in the big ex'
