THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATU RDAY, DEC 13 FIFTH MEETING OF COMMISSION 1S TERMINATED Game Commission Ad- journs—Issues Summary - of Work Done 22 Days (Continued trom Page One) priming of furs and establishing the boundaries of the districts or watersheds or divides instead of imaginary lines as in the old dis- tricts. “In establishing these new dis- tricts, it has been necessary to re- vise the open and close seasons for the fur-bearers. In doing this the Qommission has followed a sugges- tion that is almost universal among the trappers of the Territory to Have the season for mink, land ot- ter, weasel, foxes and lynx open at the same time and close sim- Wltaneously, instead of separate open seasons for mink, land otter and weasel, and for foxes and lynx as heretofore. “The open season for the taking T | of muskrats extends beyond those| for other fur-bearers as in present regulations because this animal can be taken only after the break-| up in many sections. “The new game law circular con- taining the detailed discription of the boundaries of the eight new | fur districts will also include a Ilm-ge map on which the boundary | lines will be shown. Propagation Permits “Due to many complaints that | mink are becoming scarce in some] sections of the Territory, the Com- | mission has considered it necessary | to discontinue the issuance of per- mits for the capture of that ani- mal during the close season for propagation purposes. The Com- mission believes that this change is justified to permit the mink to become re-established, and that little inconvenience will result as domestic mink can be purchased for a ncminal sum from fur farm- ers in nearly every section of the Territory. This new policy w! become ef- fective January 1, next. Under pres- | ent regulations, fur bearers cap- tured alive during regular open sea- sons can be retained for propaga- tion purposes if reported to the Commission within 30 days after the end of the open season. | Progress in Stocking “The re-stocking program, made before doing so believes it ossible - through - funds- provided by the Alaska Legislature and car- ried out under the Commission by direction of the Governor, is prov- ing of considerable value. Recent reports indicate that the elk brought from the Olympic Peninsu- la in the State of Washington and | placed on Kruzof and Afognak | islands, are well satisfied with ‘Lheir new homes and satisfactory | increases are reported from the | herds this year. “The herd of buffalo brought from Montana and released in the Big Delta region east of Fair- | banks, is ranging over a consider- iahle area. An increase of eight | animals is reported in it since its i introduction here. | “Satisfactory reports have beeu received to the effect that the beavers transplanted to Barano and Kodiak islands are increasing | The muskrats planted on Prince of Wales 3sland and the islands o | the Kodiak-Afognak district are | also, becoming well established. Wild Life Refuges “Responsive to a petition from | the citizens of Valdez, the Keystonc | Canyon closed area of game refuge has been extended from Mile 16 t | Mile 20. “The Commission is in sympathy | with and desires to encourage the | creation of these sanctuaries bu! adv able that the people residing with- in or adjacent to the proposed areas | should submit the matter through petitions signed by a majority of the residents within the areas 1o be included. Trap Line Registration “The subject of registration of traplines was again carefully stud- ied. As the plan involves so many difficult questions that must be satisfactorily worked out before suitable legislation can be proposed, the Commission has again deferred taking any action. “To obtain much meeded addi- tional information, the Commis- sion has prepared a form of ques- tionnaire which soon will be placed in the hands of the game wardens for distribution among trappers and sther interested persons. It is hoped hat the trappers of Alaska will cespond to the Commission’s re- quest and aid it to obtain addition- | 1l information by getting a copy of his questionnaire from the near- »st game warden and completing | t. The Commission will also ap- oreciate any suggestions that any| me may care to offer on a pmnK f registering trap lines. “The Commission is confident hat registration of trap lines on \ satisfactory basis would be of ouble benefit. Tt would give a large neasure of protection to each trap-; per, now unavailable, by preventing I T Rl e S ey BRSO e T BUY NOWe—BUY NOWe—BUY NOW —m The purchasing power of your dollar today in the stores of this city is the greatest it has ever had: The merchants of this city offer you the world’s choicest merchandise priced astonishingly low.
