Subsequently, the management, taking advantage of market depreciation, has reacquired .about 60,000 shares of stock, which is now in its treasury, and will end the year with about 1,440,000 shares out- standing. Upward of 20,000 shares are understood to have been accumulated out of current funds in the last few weeks of 1931 SEATTLE MISSES THE POIN In a recent the Seattle Times editorially discusses the Holzworth movement for setting aside Admiralty and Chichagof Islands as sanctuaries for the brown bear. Its article appears in an adjoining column. While it does not directly advocate that Mr. Holzworth's idea be adopted it concludes a point- less dissertation with this assertion: While it is conceded that they (the bears) are dignified and courageous, many contend they are as dangerous as a box of dynamite. However, here in Washington we get along peaceably with the lesser species, so that it should be easy for the hardier Alaskans to jog along in pleasant companionship with the grizzly and brown bears. The Times—even though it speaks facetiously— has missed the point in the whole controversy, I isn't a question of hardiness of Alaskans or of them getting along with the “great big bears.” Modestl; Wwe admit that Alaskans are hardier than most “Staters. They have to be, not in order to get along with but to get along despite the ridiculous propaganda broadcast by some of the self- appointed and self-proclaimed saviours of the brutes. ‘The L on the question: “Shall Alaskans by and permit a few selfish individuals stampede easily alarmed nature lovers into tying up vast areas of forest lands already in °s of development on the specious pre- 58 e the bears whole hinges idly the first stag text that the brown bears are threatened 'with ex- tinction when in fact there is not the remotest danger of h occurrence?” The Juneau Chamber of Commerce recently well- stated the Alaskan viewpoint. It reiterated Alaska's sympathy with the demand that protection be given bears to the end that they may continue to exist as an entity in the animal kingdom. It cited unanswerable proof that such protection is had and will continue to be afforded.. It vigorously upheld Alaska's right as an integral part of the United States to develop its natural resources in order that it may take its proper place in the nation's ranks of self-sustaining commonwealths. This is not incompatible with the preservation of the hear race. But if it were, is there any sane human who would argue that the safety of the bear must come before the welfare of the Territory itsel? Editorial advocacy by FEastern newspapers for The New York Zoological Society, the American Society of Mammalogists and many individual sports- men and naturalists are urging Congress to set aside Admiralty and Chichagof Islands as sanctuaries for the grizzly and the great brown bears of Alaska. The fear is expressed that the largest of the world’s carnivora are threatemed with extinction, and that |unless protective measures are taken they will soon Ibe as scarce as the buffalo. Chichagof and Admiralty Islands are situated at the gateway to Alaska and in many respects are well suited for the purpose of providing sanctuaries for the great bears. Admiralty Island, for instance, club, which acts as a barrier from 2 to 10 miles in width. The average hunter does not care to pene- trate this forbidding wilderness in pursuit of sport, and for that reason the bears have thrived. It is conservatively estimated that no fewer than 5,000 brown and grizzly bears are on Admiralty Island, |which number probably is equal to half the bear population of Alaska. There is some divergence of opinion concerning the great bears in Alaska. Settlers on Kodiak |Island, who are going into the business of stock raising, inveigh against the bears as a menace to I‘hmr industry. It was due largely to their repre- sentations that the law giving some measure of protection to the creatures was repealed two years ago. The nature lovers and the conservationists would be satisfied to let the Kodiak Islanders de- stroy the bears if sanctuaries were provided on the islands near Juneau. John M. Holzworth, Chairman of the Committee on Protection and Preservation of Alaska Brown and Grizzly Bears, says these animals are “just like so many big Saint Bernard dogs—alert, intelligent, dig- nified and couragegus.” As proof he has photo- |graphed many at a distance of a few feet. Others familiar with the huge bears hold a different opin- ion of their nature. While it is conceded that they are dignified and courageous, many contend they are as dangerous as a box of dynamite. However, here in Washington we get along peaceably with the |lesser species, so. that it should be easy for the hardier Alaskans to jog along in pleasant compan- ionship with the grizzly and the brown bears.
