FEW CHANGES MADE IN
GAME REGULATIONS
. _
. Completing its fifth annual meet
ing, the Alaska Game Commission ad
journed November 21, says the Ju-|
neau Empire. The present session is
the second one during 1928, due to
the time,, of meeting having been
• been changed from the beginning to :
the latter part of the year. The next,
annual meeting will be held in the fall1
of 1929 pn a date to be announced'
later.
Any-changes, in present regulations
recommended by the Commission at
the session just concluded will not be
come eifective until, after July 1, 1929.
- New game law circulars will be print
ed-and distributed in time to be in the
> hands of interested persons before
Jyju.l.
A -lesser number of letter csontain
" ing recommendations for changes in
. regulations were received during the
present year than during previous
, , years. Continuing the policy to make
. as few changes as necessary in the \
- Regulations, there were but few
changes and corrections recommended
this year. Among these were the fol-;
• lowing, which include only one change
in. seasons or bag limits on big game,
• affecting caribou only.
Capture of Live Fur-Bearers. ;
. The present policy of the Commis
- sion in the issuance of permits to cap
ture wild live fur-bearers out of sea-s
: son for propagation purposes was
• . modified slightly to care for changing
conditions in the fur farming indus
..try,,, and a change has been recom
mended in Regulation 4 to permit per
sons. taking wild fur-bearers during
the - open season to retain them alive
1 fo?..’propagation after the close of the
season, under a permit from the Com
. mission.
Caribou.
..The present regulation providing
- thwee districts and a like number of ;
open seasons for the taking of cari-!
■ bouuhas been found to be confusing,
inirhe two disttricst ttttttt ttttm mm j
iin.-i3ie two districts south of fur dis
> trict 3, divided by the Alaska range 1
- audithe Ahklun mountains, and in the i
tferb» district described as fur district
3, the residentts have been forced to |
become violators to provide them- i
selves with necessary mestts through- I
0 • otiCw.e year. To correct these condi
tions it has been recommended that
for the taking of caribou but two dis
trict.ts he made and these be that part
• of Alaska south of the Arctic circle
and that part north of the circle. In
the former the open season to be from
August 20 to December 31, and in the !
latter district there be no closed sea-:
son. It has been recommended that1
the bag limit for residents be 5 an
imals throughout Alaska ( excepting
on the Alaska Peninsula, where the
limit remains at 2, the same as here
tofore, and for non-residents the limit
he 2 animals throughout the Terri-1
tory, excepting on the Alaska Penin
sula, and there it be reduced to 1. I
Large Brown Bear.
• To permit livestock raisers on cer-!
tain islands o fthe Kodiak-Afognak!
Islands group to- protect their prop- i
, erty it has been recommended that1
the present regulation permitting the j
killing of dangerous animals be mod- j
ified to permit residents to protect i
their stock.
Wild Life Refuges.
Responsive to a petition signed by
more than 300 residents of Cordova!
and the area comprising the drainage j
of Eyak Lake be set aside as a wild •
life refuge, the Commission has rec- j
ommended complete protection for all |
game, birds and fur-bearers in this *
area and it to be known as the “Eyak
Lake Wild i.ife Refuge."
That reiu'crs of this notice may not
become confused, it is again pointed
out that ihese recommendations, if
promulgated into regulations, are not
effective until July 1, 1929.
Mink.
Many recommedations were re
ceived tro« residents of Southeastern
AlasIerrtcAtng that increased protec
tion f»e given the diminishing supply
i «f .mink. After .carefully studying re
| ports extending over several years, it
has been recommended that the mink
j season in this district be restricted to
' the month of January,
mink on Kenai Peninsula to return to
To permit the breeding reserves of
a normal supply, it has been recom
mended that this area be closed to the
j taking of mink for one year.
) The present closed season on mink
i in fur district 3 will be continued for
| another year.
1 It has been recommended that the
M uskrat.
separate district comprising the drain
age of the Tanana river within fur i
district 2 be abolished and this area1
included with the remainder of fur;
district 2.
Fox.
To comply with the request of many j
I residentts of Alaska Peninsula region
within fur district 1, and. as a result j
of the investigations .of wardens, it j
has been recommended that the fox |
season in fur district 1 be opened 15 j
days later, or on December 1.
It has been recommended that the >
separate district comprising the Sew-]
ard Peninsula and the drainage of the
Kiwalik and Koyuk rivers be abol
ished and the open season for fox and
lynx in this area be the same as-in
the remainder of fur district 2.
Beaver.
i To permit the beaver to increase;
and restock the areas in which the'
past two seasons have seen them -de
pleted to an alarming extent, the j
present closed season will be contin- :
ued for an indefinite period of years, j
This closed period will be consider
ably longer, if not three pr four times
that of from 1923 to 1927, if poaching
continues to be practiced by many
thoughtless and unscrupulous persons
as it did during the former closed
period, the Commission intimated.
Guides.
To permit a probationary or train
.ng period for persons desiring- .to- be
come registered guides, the Commis
sion’s Regulation B has been changed
to provide an assistant or limited
guide license for persons who dn not
possess the required field experience
but are otherwise qualified Tor. a full
registered guide license. j
Each successive hunting season j
witnesses an increased number of non- I
resident hunters visiting the Terri- i
tory who demand thoroughly compe
tent guides, and it is the desire of the
Commission to license as registered
guides only such persons as .are fully
qualified.

U. S. SCIENTIST SHOWS [
i HOW TO BEAT GRAVITY |
: I
I ATLANTA.—Dispatches telling of|
a demonstration given by a young)
London scientist elling of his discov-1
ery of a method of overcoming grav-!
ity were read with added interest here j
today, after a similar demonstration
had been given by Dr. Sergius P.
Grace, vice president of the Bell Tel-:
■ ephone Laboratories, Inc., New York.
I Dr. Grace used a piece of Cobalt
j steel about four inches long and about
one-fourth of an inch square. This he
held above a similar piece of the
metal enclosed in a wooden block. He
then released his hold on the heavy
metal ond, believe it or dot, it re
mained suspended in the air.
You see, he explained, gravity
humbled before .science. Cobalt steel
is capable of super-magnetization.it
These super-magnetized pieces of Co
balt steel have been placed with the
positive pole of one over the positive;
pole of the other. The natural repul- ,
sion causes the upper bar to remain
suspended.
“Of course,” he said, “I don’t know,
from what I have rehd in the news
papers, what principle the young
Britisher is using in his tests. I would, I
under no circumstances from this far
distant point, saay one..word deroga
tory to his claims.”
Still Fightfrift On.
President Butler of Columbia, apro
pos of the jibbing of France and other 1
countries over Secretai y Kellogg’s j
anti-war pact, said at a reception: i
“War would vanish. if mankind real- |
Iy worked against it. If men only
persevered in wise things as splendid
ly as they do in foolish ones the mil
lenium would be here next week.
“ 'Jones is a man of remarkable
perseverance,’ a banker said to me.
‘“YesV said I. •
“ *Yes. He’s tried 238 cures for
baldness in the last 19 years, and still
fighting on as hard -as ever.’ ”
