CAPTl IiK () LAND FI R-BEAR
!\<; ANIMALS IN' ALASKA
Juneau, Oct. 7,—The office of the
Alaska Gar,.-.- Commission and Bu
reau of Bioiog al Survey, at Juneau,
annoum i s th .t in the future permits
for the capture of land fur-bearing
animals in Alaska for propagation
purposes will be issued from the Ju
neau office, and that applications
need no longer suffer delay by being
sent to the Washington office, as has |
been the custom in the past. This j
arrangement is made in accordance
with Regulation 27 of the Alaska
Game law.
Mr. Walker, executive officer of the
Comnii on, states that the Biological
Survey and Alaska Game Commis
sion arc doing- till in their power to
foster the development of fur-farm
ing in Alaska, and permits for the
capture of a limited number of fur
bearing animals for propagation pur
poses are granted to persons who
show they are prepared to take
proper care of fur-bearing animals
they may capture under permit.
Applications for capture permits
should state name in full, residence
and postoffice address, location of fur
farm, or where they propose to keep
the animals, together with a brief
statement of the facilities the appli
cant has for the care of any animals
taken, the number and kinds of an
imals which it is desired to capture,
and if the capture operations are not
to be carried on by the applicant, the
application should give the name of
the person who is to engage in the
capture.

charge, but the person who is to do
the capture work must hold a valid
license under the Alaska game law,
permitting him to take land fur
bearing animals, ersons who can
qualify for the resident trapping li
cense at a fee of $2 need only take
out that license. Non-resident citi
zens must have the $50 license, and
aliens must have the $100 license.
Mr. Walker states that while they
are quite liberal in the granting of
such permits, they endeavor to make
certain that the person is actually
going into bona fide fur-farming and
is prepared to care for the animals
taken. He also points out that, due
to the fact that few persons are ex
perienced in the care of wild animals,
that permits will ordinarily be issued
for only small numbers, which he
states is sufficient to enable the ap
plicant to get a start, to experiment,
and to determine whether or not he
can raise them successfully. Addi
tional permits may usually be ob
tained if the person finds he can sue- j
cessfully raise the animals and is
prepared to care for them.
Permits will not ordinarily b« j
granted, according to Mr. Walker, for
the capture of animals to be removed '
from the Territory, for he states it is I
the aim of the Commission to foster
the development of Fur-farming in
the Territory.
Permittees are required to have
the permit in their possession in cap
turing animals, and are prohibited
from destroying the dens or burrows
of animals in the capture, ind are
prohibited from using smoke or chem
icals in capturing them.
Permittees are required to comply
with the provisions of the Alaska
game laws and regulations and the
Territorial laws. At the expiration of j
the calendar year for which a permit
is granted they shall) submit a report :
of operations conducted under the j
permit. The Commission also points
out that when animals have been cap
tured and fur-bearing operations
have been actually established, par
ties are required to have both the
Territorial fur farm license and the
Alaska Came Commission fur farm
license.

“ ‘Congresman ree’ harked back to
Daniel Webster’s opposition 6f the
purchase of the Territory for $7,000,

“'In the time since'the purchase,’
he declared, ‘we have only averaged a
return of Z7 per centi per month on
our investment, and I can’t see that
this has done California a bit of
good.
“ ‘It is true that 1 saw some won
derful scenery on my trip to Alaska,
but I didn’t find one palm tree in the
Territory.
“ ‘1 never felt really at home, be
cause there isn’t a city there with,
more than one real estate dealer.
“ ‘I appeal to you, the citizens of
one of Los Angeles’ most enterpris

up.’ ”
