DIMOND WANTS ALASKA TO
CONTROL FURS, GAME, FISH
When Delegate-elect Himond. was
in Fairbanks on his way to. Nome ha
reaffirmed his. -statement in favor of
having the control of the game, furs
and fish of Alaska taken out of Fed
eral hands and placed, entirely under
Territorial control. -He later stated
that he was all the more, convinced of
the necessity of such change after
having made a trip .through the Kusr
kukwiin valley, and sard he believed
it .a.most necessary that tne change,
be mane. I he News-Miner, reports
inig the nurlh^hound visit to Fair-.
hanks, said in part:
Rejative to control of Alaska furs,
gau.v. and fish, Mr. Dimond said:
“I trust-the. present .session of. the
Legislature will pass some effective
legislation for control of these rer
sources, to. be-., placed in force upqn
the passage of.an.jact by Congress
supervision aver ..to... the Territory,
Then an organization would at once
be set up to taka, control immediately ;
without waiting, for anotjier session
of the Legislature.”
Mr. Dimond..intends to do every
thing he 'Can to assure an early start
on construction .of . the . international ,
highway,.. It is .his helief that there j
should be no..delay in building of the j
Alaskan .section.
“I think should proceed at once
fo~ build on our side as far as the
boundary. line because this would :
stimulate -the Canadians into action. I
The present British. Columbia, govern-i
ment is very much in favor of it, but
it is. confronted by a. shortage of
funds. If we . huild our part,, the
chances, are that it .will speed the :
matter.”
More than, ever, after, visiting the j.
Kuskokwim, Mr. Dimond favors lim
ited.jcommercial fishing in. the Kusko
kwim and Yukon rivers by natives!
and bona fide residents only. He!
holds that.this would.give them a.,
chance to at least make a living,
something which is difficult now: with
fur selling at current prices. “Fish
ing to a limited extent commercially
ought, to be reserved for local resi
dents,’.’ he said. That was one of the
planks in the Democratic platform,
uud llr. Dimond. intends, to do every
thing possible to see that it becomes
reality,
