It has been said' on &<x>d authori
f iha; one yarty iu this city has
killed ten blue groise within the
; ?s'. few days, and that many oth
er persons are out daily on the
l"i!s killing the game, which is
now out of season and therefore
against the law, and1 any person
guilty of killing at this time is
subject to a fine and imprisonment.
This is the mating season of these
birds, and it is kucwn that there
a.e great Quantities to be found
on the nearby hills, but it is the
duty of the game warden to look In
to »he matter and prosecute any
■person who he finds guilty of
i»riaki:^ the law.
By killing one grouse hen at this
time it means the destruction of
man*, for it will not be long now
hafor* the hen* would begini laying
esss, and these would be hatched
•ft ithin a short time.
For a number of years the hills
lu the Skagway dis'rict have been
a'most cleaned out of these bird®,
and it is only during- the past
few years that they are again to
be found in any quantity. Until
they become Plentiful they should j
t>« urotefted. and it is the duty of
the local game' ward-en to investi
gate a ad" bring the guilty persons
tj justice.
