To Protect Salmon
and Other Food Fishes
Washington.—On October 24, 1919,
she Secretary of Agriculture issued id
order authorizing the killing at fish
hatcheries of certain birds otherwise
protected under the migratory bird
treaty acr of Julv 3, 1918. In the case
of the fisheries of Alaska, however, it
has developed that the order was in
adequate, owing to the heavy destruc
tion of voting salmon and salmon eggs
on the natural spawning beds and in
adjacent waters by predatory birds,
particularly gulls and turns. Accord
ingly, upon request of the Department
of Commerce, the Department of Agri
culture issued an order under date of
January 24, 1922, that the employes of
Ihe bureau of fisheries, for the purpose
of protecting salmon and-other valu
able food (lobes iu the waters within
the Territory of Alaska, may kill gulls
and terns at any t ime on such waters.
The possession, transportation or ship
ment of such birds as may be killed are
pro hibited.
Bear Kills Fisherman,
Then Lives in Cabin
Tiavas Armas Wilen, a sailor and
fisherman, was killed and partially
eaten bv a brown bear, near Wakalea,
October 20, 1920. The bear, after
mauling and partial!} eating his vic
tim, went to WHen’s cabin, nea1' by,
brunc into it. and. was living in it. when
Wileu’sbodv was found .several weeks
later.
Information regarding the killing
was brought to Commissioner (Taig of
the Koggiung prauiuct by Angie Mul
ler and August Sehroeder. Despite the
fact that W lienA death occurred over
a year ago, the first uews regarding it
was recsived here on the last mail.
The cabin where it occurred is situated
about 112 miles up Wood river in the
Bristol bay district.—Seward Gateway.
•‘Europe calls me,” remarked Mrs.
Gadder.
“ I’ll answer, that call for you,’’ said
Mr. Gadder, promptly.
“What do you mean, John?.’’
“If necessary, I’ll inform Europe that
we are flat broke. Americans in that
predicament are just as welcome over !
there as a prohibition agent at a poker
party ”—Birmiugbam Age-Herald.
