REPORT ON

The Present Law Discriminates
Against Alaskans and Fa
vors Hunters
Copies (»f the governor's an
nua) report on tin; game of Alas
ka for 1911 have just hern re
ceived by the local panic wardens,
F. Irons and William LJnyd.
By way of introduction, the
governor says:"
"By careful attention to the
various provisions of the law and
the regulations thereunder, and
hy the appointment of additional
wardens, the administration of
the Alaska game law has heen
somewhat improved during the
last year. Another year's exper
ience under the new law, however,
has emphasized the inadaptabil
ity of certain provisions of the
most, ohviniis nature. Kxtensivc
modi lira! inns of | In* law are need
ed, ami the failure to provide a
better law renders I lie enforce
ment of ilie act more ditllcult. hc_
cause of I lie fad that public
opinion does no| wholly support,

hermitieal life that lonely island
by the name of Bpruco Island.
There he built a small chapel and
small cabin of logs to live in.
He had no furniture and never
used nny bedding, but slept on a
bare plank; lie had a tire place
made out of clay and rocks from
the beach. He planted potatoes,
just made a hole about 1 f» or 20
inches in the ground, then put
some sea weed or old grass, then
the potatoes and dirt on top. and
he would have a line crop in the
