{SECOND VNNl VI MEETING OF
VI. VSK A G VVIK COMMISSION
Juneau.—The second annual meet
-Tng of the Alaska Game Comnrssb u
• dosed in Juneau on February 24th,.
:after having been in session twenty
«ono days. The full membership of
Ithe Commission was present until the
17th, whin Dr. Whitney of the Four h
•division returned to his home in Fair
Ibanks, anil Dr. Chase of the Third oi
vision returned to his home in Cor
«lova
During the session careful consid
eration was given to a large number
• of written and verbal suggestions and
• constructive criticisms proposing
•changes in the regulations affecting
-game, fur ami birds in the Territory.
;Suggestions were also received for
• changes in the Act.
The Commission does not deem it
.advisable to announce at this time de
itail changes which it is proposing, for
vthe reason that announcement of pro
posed changes would be misleading
-without the full text of the regula
ition
.-announoement of detail changes will
•appear until the regulations are pub
llished ill revised form, about April 1.
The Commission states the changes
proposed are all designed to give the
maximum possible utilization of the
fur and game consistent with proper j
protection to maintain supply
'The aim of the Commission is to i
intake the least possible number of,
•changes, but those which are being
proposed are designed to assist in!
Ithe production of better quality furs |
.-and will also facilitate obtaining
.•game meat when it is in the best con
dition.
Further attention was given to the
program of stocking lands in Alaska i
-with valuable fur an! game animals •
which do not at present occur on such
lands. It is announced that excellent
progress has been made to date under
the appropriation by the Territorial
Legislature, and the Commission ex
pects during the present caendar
year to complete the work within the
limit sof the funds appropriated. The
Commission is also endeavoring to
| obtain federal funds to assist in car
' rying on this work still further. Cer
tain members of the Commission
, state that the stocking of lands with
fur animals is like making dollars
grow where dollars have not before
grown, and is virtually establishing
, a gigantic public fur farm.
They announce that reports have
been received from numerous portions I
of the Territory which indicates an
apparent increase in wolves and coy
otes and that a very insistent demand
has arisen for the inauguration of
predatory anima control measures
j which have been used with such ex- 1
j ccllent success in the States. Appar
ently the demand is a result of the!
remarkable success which was ob
; tained by the Biological Survey pred
| atory control men who carried on ex
■ nerimental and demonstration work
n wolf control in Southeastern Alas-!
ka in 1922 and 1923, at which time it i
■ was proven to be thoroughly prac
; tical to take wolves in considerable
1 numbers under Southeastern Alaska
j ditions. The Commission states that
j it does not at this time have funds i
, available for predatory animal control j
! work, but it is taking the matter up !
, with the Secretary of Agriculture in ;
j an effort to obtain funds for the con
| trol of wolves and coyotes in Alaska,
i Many Alaskans state that wolves are
! killing more game than the people
and that steps for their control
should be undertaken. The Commis
sion appreciates the hearty interest
which Alaskans are showing in the
subject of wild life protection and the
support received from the public in
the administration of the Alaska
game law and regulations. The Com
mission announces that its rtolioy is (
that of seeking co-operation and sup
port of the people in this work, for
they state they are merely the cus- 1
todians or herders of the public live
stock herd on Alaska lands and must
have the assistance of the public in
carrying out the work. ,
