William H. Stayton. It, makes it plain that it will continue its with un- relenting vigor. Capt.

The Alaska Game Commission, charged by the Federal Department of Agriculture with for- mulating and enforcing regulations on fur-bearing animals, is attacking a problem of considerable magnitude in endeavoring to accurately determine the status of the Territory’s valuable fur-bearers, | not only as a whole, but that of each of the several varieties and by locality. Limited to a few field agents, widely separated and covering areas as large as some of the larger States, its facilities for obtaining dependable information are not anywhere nearly comparable to the pro- tective and administrative game boards of the States. Its statisties do not go back far enough to be of great value, and it is difficult for it to get complete figures on even the current catches in many localiti It is of very great import- nce to the Territory to know, rather than to £uess, on the state of its fur resource The windling catches of some of the varieties, des- ite the greater number of trappers in the field, it may be, of course, that onditions have not been favorable for trapping in_ many localities, or that advepse circumstances have thinned out the animals rather than the D operations have cat into the supply. ‘and similar questions have to be determined ‘Commission. determination will become fucreasingly a8 Alaska is settled, and more and more ALASK! a %, Troaduwrell and | in advance | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, FEB. 13, 1928. ment there is no conflict betw fur-bearers.

By the bigness of the canvases he stretched for novel-writing and by his lifelong and ardent advocacy of liberal policiegiin .grenuqem Ibanez suggests comparisons with™ Vie Hugo, though he was never quite so great a figure in either field. Death found him when, still an exile from his native Spain and breathing maledictions upon her dictator, Primo de Rivera, he was at the sum- mit of his controversial genius and when longer life might have brought an anti-climax. Ibanez was practically unknown in the United States when “The Four Horsemen of the Apoca- lypse” appeared. Next to “Mr. Britling Sees It Through,” by H. G. Wells, it was the most pop- ular war story of its fevered day. Frankly ten- dentious, it was a good, swift-moving story. For that matter, Ibanez always had a story to tell and had made a reputation in Spain for his earlier work. So when American made haste to set forth hurried translations of those ‘“‘dug-ups” of foreign fiction the buyers got their mone worth. Ibanez's enmity to the dictator of Spain was no new ebullition of radicalism on his part. He had almost lost count of the number of times he had been exiled or imprisoned. So long ago as 1896 he was driven out of Spain for favoring “Cuba Libre,” though he had not then reached his thirtieth year. His long devotion to the cause of political freedom should be his memorial. Gold and Alaska. (Hastings, Neb., Tribune.) Those who have not had the pleasure of vis- iting Alaska have a pleasant surprise coming to them should they ever make tHat trip. Of course, Al s not an agricultural coun- try, neither is it a cattle country, but it is a wonderful country for producing minerals, and it also gives the United States its greatest fish industry. In speaking about the Alaska Juncau Gold Mining Company the Daily Alaska Empire calls attention to the fact that the production figures of this company for 1927 in both mines and mills were not [only] entirely satisfactory but beyond expectations, Furthermore, the Empire says that in the past history of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company it has” been conducting its mining and milling on a scale very properly termed gigantic. But the 1927 record stands for achievement. “Working with a daily average force identical in number with that employed in 1926, it has broken all records for gold recovered, for ore publishers | _ ALONG LIFE’S DETOUR By SAM HILL Find Your Own Moral Unless they gab an awful some folks Think other folks | they're dumb; But Bo, the wisdom of the ewl is shown LOOKING INK mum. lot will thinl By wise and KEEP- | r, | Observations of Oldest Inhabitant The gray-haired clerk who tells the lady that the ant three.
