Without taking the trouble to| look into the accuracy of the New Yorker's claims | in the matter, the Ohio paper editorially takes up | enactment of a measure by Congress to establish |to the memory of the country doctor. the sanctuary proposed by Mr. Holzworth. In this connection, ¢ BEARS,” the Enquirer said: This editorial has nothing to do with | the stock market, though it has to do with | bears. | Coming world conferences have their im- portance and significance. but all the tides of life are not bound up in the deliberations | of chancellories or the conv tions held about international round tables. There is a committee known as the “Committee on Protection and Preservation of Alaska Brown and Grizzly Bears.” On this committee are Kermit Roosevelt and Arthur N. Pack, with other eminent nature Jovers and sponsors of wild-life protection. Shortly there will be introduced in Con- gress a bill for the creation of a sanctuary in Alaska for these animals. | To many such activity will appear strange, but such labors have their fitting place | in the scheme of things, and it is to be | E trusted that the measure will meet with \ ] favorable consideration by - Congress. 5 These splendid wild animals are in'the b way of following the great auk, the pas- § senger pigeon and the buffalo—all of which | we now wish we might have back with. us. But the thoughtlessness, or greed, of hunters and sportsmen, so called, threatens the ex- tinction of the brown and grizzly bears of our great Northern Territory. Hence the move for their protection and preservation. These animals, contrary to the general opinion, in large measure are harmless. Let them alone and they will let you alone. = Cornered or attacked, they will fight—as man will fight under similar circumstances, or upon slight provocation It is unfortunate that the Enquirer, if it were interested in Alaska brown bears, did not go to some authority on them for definite information as to their nature, the protection that is at present afforded them, and whether under it they are being depleted or threatened with extermination. After all is said, whether, as Mr.glolzworth claims, “There | are no bad bears” or as th: other side any | bear is potentially bad until proved otherwise, is of | . small moment. The major issue is whether the species is threatened with extinction. Mr. Holzworth undertakes to show they are, but ~ he fails to submit any valid supporting proof. On the contrary the figure he does use in connection with Admiralty Island, if it can be accepted as ap- proximately correct, taken into consideration in connection with other data, would show that the " bear is not only not being wiped out, but is actually ~ increasing in number each year. 1 In a recent article in Outdoor Life, he estimates the number of brown bear and grizzly bear on Ad- | © miralty Island at 5000. He failed to divide this ’é into sexes, but it is reasonable to assume an equal | division, or 2500 males and females. Each of the - females will bear two cubs biennially, making the birth rate or a biennial increase of 5000. Deducting | losses due to death from old age and in infancy, | which is not inconsiderable, the average biennial increase, before the toll taken by hunters, ought to ‘be at least one-half that figure. Now for the death rate from hunting. This is " the source of the greatest losses in Alaska's bear opulation if Mr. Holzworth and his co-propagandists @re to be believed. The rate of kill is So large as 0 threaten extermination. But what are the actual figures? Non-resident hunters in 1931 Kkilled six ¥ brown bears on Admiralty Island. That is the ml figure given by the Alaska Game Commis- ‘sion and, since every non-resident hunter is required law to report his kill, and to get export permits take out his trophy, it probably wont be disputed. Dnfortunately there are no definite figures on the & number killed by residents. Officials have indicated (" that the total is not more than three times the ¥ for mon-residents, or 18 animals last year. thorities familiar with the situation agree that his is a generous estimate. | If this be accepted, it takes no student of higher _mathematics to understand that Admiralty Island d soon be so densely populated with bears that ey would eat up all of the other animals and e off from starvation, always providing Mr. Holz- orth's estimate of 5000 is sound. It probably is o high. Most local authorities, including hunters, thermen, guides, prospectors, game wardens and ers whoss vocations or avocations take them into and other Southeast Alaska districts agree argue is absolutely prohibited. ;m'opaganda is unreliable.
