AND FUR REGULATIONS
JUNEAU, April 11.—Changes ir
■game und fur regulations to become
(effective July 1, 1932, have been pub
lished in the Alaska Game Commis
sion's new Circular No. 9. The new
regulations were approved by Secre
tary Hyde of the Department of Ag
riculture on March 19 and published
<on April 2, 90 days before they be
come effective, as provided under the
requirements of the . Aaska Glame

mail may secure one from the local
jfame commissioner, game warden,
licensing officer, or from the execu
tive office at uneau.
Game Refuges.
Owing to hunting that resulted in
the wounding of several buffalos near
McCarty late last fall, the residents
«if that vicinity petitioned for a closed
soaso uadjacent to the Richardson
Highway through the region where
these animals range. Responsive to
this appeal, such an area, consisting
of one mile on the east side side and
most of the land between the High
way and the Delta river on the west
side, has been closed to all hunting.
To safeguard the maintenance of a
plentiful supply, of moose on the Ke
nai Peninsula, u..refuge has been cre
ated on the northwestern portion of
the peninsula consisting of the area
lying north of Skilak Lake and Kenai
River and west of the Chick«loon
River and National Forest boundary.
The trapping rights of the people liv
ing in the area are not affected. .
Authorized under the provisions of
an executive order of 1892, a closed
season for the large brown bear on
Afognak Island has been established.
Fur-Bearers.
In addition to severe minor changes
in open seasons for the taking of
muskrats and the addition of a short
period t oth open season on fox, lynx,
mink, land otter and weasel Fur Dis
trict 2, which includes the drainages
to Prince William Sound and Cook
Inlet, an open season is announced for
1933 in all fur districts except Dis
| trict 1, Southeastern Alaska; District
3, Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak, and
District 8, Arctic drainage. An open
season for marten is provided in Fur
District 7, Fort Yukon region. Bag
limits, tagging and sealing provisions
similar to those heretofore in effect
as announced through supplemental
• circulars, are continued in effect by
amendments to regulations appearing
' in the new circular.
Hag Limits Changed.
To prevent undue depletion of
(! mountain sheep in the Kenai Penin
1 sula, the non-resident bag limit is re
| duced from two to one rum per hunt
! cr, under the provisions of Regulation
j 11. The bag limit of, two rams for a
resident remains as heretofore.
As a result of (some unwarranted
killing and to maintain a plentiful
1 supply of the animal that annually
brings many thousanls of dollars to
j Southeastern Alaska through non
: resident hunters, a limit of two large
; brown and grizzly bears has been es
tablished for residents. The remain
der of the regulations affecting these
animals remain as heretofore.
; Being issued in advance of the an
nouncement by the Secretary of the
[ open hunting season for migratory
i birds for the fall of 1932, Regualtion
■ 12 merey provides that such season
shall be in accordance with regula
i tios promulgated under the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act, which will be an
| nounced at a later date.
The practice of shooting at game
; from swiftly moving automobiles has
; resulted in the finding of increasing
! numbers of carcasses of dead animals
; each fall. As a result of this thought
i less waste of game, Regulation 9, pre
I scribing the methods by which game
may be taken, has been amended to
prohibit he shooting of game from
vehicles.
tiuides.
: The Commission’s Regulation “A”,
i respecting the requirement of guides
■ by non-resident hunters, has been
amended to provide that a guide may
take only one person in the field at a
time, except in the case of a man and
his wife and-or minor child, when one
guide will suffice.
j This regulation has also been
| amended to require that a non-resi
dent must be accompanied by a guide
when photographing large brown or
grizzly bears. With the increased in
j terest in these large bears and the
j desire of uninformed persons to study j
| and photograph them, the Commission j
j believes this precautionary measure is J
I necessary to prevent serious accidents !
i and unwarranted killing of the an
imals.
Recommendations.
In transmitting the new Circular
No. 9 the Commission invites inter
ested persons to write the executive
office any constructive criticisms or
i recommendations they may have. It
j is not always possible to write a per
sonal acknowledgment of every letter
S received, but each individual who
writes is assured that his letter will
receive the attention of the Commis
sion at the next meeting.
“Did you hear about the terrible
bunch of smashups at Main street
and Boulevard avenue yesterday?”
“No, what could have been the
trouble?”
“Just as heavy traffic started to
move across Main street the traffic
cop, a woman, changed her mind and
switched the signal.’
FIRE INSURANCE
Yeu should carry a liberal amount of fire insurance
for the sake of your credit and your peace of mind,
Needless to say this insurance should be of the very
highest quality.
