Exploration of one of the last latge areas ol the globe unvisited by man, the “Arctic blind spot,” between Alaska and the North Pole, has brought a new touch ot clvilization to the tiny settlement at ‘Point Barrow, Alaska, on the northernmost tip of the American continent. Locked in the grip of the Arctic iee pack for ten months of the year, Point Barrow's only direct communication with the outside| world for the century or so that| the region has been known to white men, has been by boat dur- ing six or eight weeks in July and August, or by the tortuously slow dog team route along the Arctic coast of Alaska to the Seward Peninsula and thence ucross the interior to Fairbanks and the end of the government railroad. The latter meant a journey of three months or more, In March of this year Captain George H. Wilkins, Australian ex plorer, and Lieut. Carl B. Eielson his sourdough pilet, flew there from Fairbanks in about five hours. They took with them radfo sending and receiving set and . placed Point Barrow into communication with the outside world.

At the present time, he pointed out, the Commission has availabla annually $73,000 for all purpos Of this sum, $67,500 is being ex-| pended by it in field work. This Is sufficient to maintain seven full time wardens and three large boats. This force is not sufficient to cover as large an as Alaska comprises. The Commission esti- mates that it should have, in or- der to iffsure adequate protection,| a force ‘of 14 full time wardens, three additional large vessels and six smaller craft, That means, it was pointed out, it there can be obtained $134,000,! or an increase of §61,000 over the present appropriations, the job, can be handled in an alequate; manner, according to present ideas. Sportsmen Are Interested | One year ago today Mr. Reding-| ton succeeded Dr. E. W. Nelson as Chief of the Biological Survey Since that time he has made it a point to get into close touch with | sportsmen throughout the coun-| try. He has attended the National, Game Conference, the Izaak Wal-! ton League's annual sessions, a meeting of the Western Conser tion Commissioners, a conference of all the Canadian game commis- sioners at Ottawa, established: contacts with the Camp Fire Club | ot RADIO NOW BREAKS ISOLATION AT POINT BARROW, ALASKA " "Point Barrow, Alaska, has the wintry appearance of the scene above for ten months out of each This is how it looks in July and August. At the right is the teacher and two pupils. the left is. the farthest north and similar organizations in the States. “It is amazing the extent of in- terest throughout the entire con- tinent in game and game conser- vation matters. This is particu- larly true of interest in Alaskan game affairs,” declared Mr. Red ington. “With this growing inter- rest I think it will be possible to get the help that is essential in order for the Alaska Game Com- mission to handle its big job.” Purposes of Trip Mr. Redington outlined briefly gome of the objocts of his present trip. One of the chief ends de- sired is a further decentralization of administrative authority new centered in Wasnington and a be- stowal of it on the Commission. From :Unimak westward, the Biological Survey has had charge certain classes of permits is- ued in the Aleutian Island bird reserves. Already it has turned over to the Commission certain of its functions on Unimak Island There are some matters still handled directly by the bureau which it is hoped can be trans ferred to the local organization Certain questions have arisen relative to sheep grazing permits being issued in the islands. For- age conditions are to be studied. There have already been some complaints to the use of some of the islands for grazing, alleging they conflict with their use by natives. Smooth Out Conflicts “If this should be found to be true, we want to figure out ways and means of reconciling the con- flicting interests. We believe that the natives’ rights should be safegnarded and that they should be given every consideration,” he said. Among other things, the Bio- logical Survey, through L. J. Pal- mer, attached to the experiment station at thé Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, is conducting some breeding experi- ments, aiding the Fedéral Bureau of Rducation, and private com- panies in combatting diseases, in studying forage conditions, etc Mr. Redington will familiarize himself with this branch of the bureau’s Alaska work on his forth coming trip.

Forest Service which extended over many years, Mr Redington is deeply interested in fire prevention. So many of the fires are unnecessary, the rezult of carelessness, he pointed out. This danger can be counteract- ed only through education, and he urged the widest dissemination of information relative to the losses to the Territory through | unnecessary fires, and of methods | of combatting forest and tundra fires.

It will touch| Kodiak and Afognak Islands, Sand Point, Unga, King Cove, False Pass and other points in the we:-:-: ern Aleutians, Mr. Whitney and Mr. Scully will do some hunting for brown bear. The party has two moving |!icturc! outfits and will take both motion | pictures and stills on the trip, studying the fauna of the entire region. Going to Interior The party probably will double| on its tracks after completing its Aleutian cruise, returning to Sew- ard. From there it will cover the Alaska Railroad districts and go into Fairbanks. It is expected to take a boat down river from Nenana, going down the Yukon frgm Tanana to its mouth and fhence to Nome. It will g0 to Golovin Bay and look over the reindeer herds in that region. It is hoped to return to Fair- banks from Nome by airplane. From there Mr. Redington and his companions will réturn to the coast by way of Richardson High- way. The party plans to return here about the end of August. Py P SUES.
