2aq|e warden service- and administra-i
tioniof Alaska game -laws and regula

directed by a resolution passed by Corn
2 re^oa short .time before its adjourn
ment
Mr. Walker stated that the bureau
hadtnoi fully perfected its plans for ad
ministration and permanent organisa
tion, The time since the transfer was
directed.b»3 been so limited that it haa
bees impossible, be said, to go into all
of the details for a comprehensive pro
2rain wbiuhr is.oonsenmlated, merging
the game organisation with that which
has heretofore been in charge of the
landi fur-beiK-in^animala and function
ing voder the biological survey*
As soon as he received official , notice
than, there would be. a transfer of ad
ministration of. the game iawa,, Gov
ernor 'iooe.notided all wardens on. the
force that- their connection with the
service would automatical! v cease: on
June 30. Several of the old wardens..
Mr. Walker said* had applied - to - the
bureau for appointment. Most of. them
will 4)® retained.
Owing- to the fact that, funds for
maintaining the warden service are
limlpedt'he said, it has been considered
advisable te diminish the number in -

duplication of work by gam* wardens
and wardens in the protection service
for land fur~bear.iog animals..
There have heca, under the Depart
ment of Interior and directly under the
governor’s office, six game ./districts,
each haviDg a warden in abarge#- Two
were in Southeastern Alaska, three-in
the Third division and/three in the
Fourth division. For. the.present, .at
least, two have been, eliminated—one
at McCarthy in the Third, and one at
Nenana, for the Kantishna* in the
Fourth.
Old officers who have been appointed
for continuous servioe by the bureau of>
geological survey are- B. M. Goddard,
of the Juneau district; James S. Rit-*
cher, Ketchikan, for the south end of
the division; Robert L. Steavens, Cor
dova, who will also look after the Mc
Carthy district, for the present; James
G. Moore, of Fairbanks, and Alexander
M. Hately, of the Kuskokwim. The'
Seward district has been discontinued.
George C. Cotter has/ been warden
t?here for the past three years. . Bis
work will be-. taken,over, at least for
the present time/ by A. S. Hardy, war
den in the land fur-bearing service.
The Kantishna. district has. also been
discontinued. J. Mi Burrows, of Ma
nana. was warden there.
H. M Terhune,-who has been doing*
special work for the biological .survey
in the Cordova district since May 18,
will probably be promoted to chief as
sistant to Mr. Walker, and .make his
headouarter6 at Juneau. Mr. Terhune
was connected for several-years with
Washington state game forces and has
had much experience, in that/line of
work, Mr. Walker said. -He will make
his home, in Cordova
With the transfer of the game ad
ministration goes also the transfer of
issuance of federal hunting, licenses,
from the governor^ office.,. Mr. Walker

“‘Why abolish hereditary titles? Is

served their country welly that/ their
descendants should enjoy the honors
conferred on them as a reward for such ,

“Quieji as a 3ash Ramsay MacDonald
