The deer season remains open un-| til November 15 and the goat sea-| son until December 31. Each hunter is allowed three male deer with horns at least three inches long and two grown goats, no kids. The officer reminded that it is necessary to have the $1 resident hunting license as required last year. Those who have not lived in the Territory at least one year are required to have the non-resident hunting license which costs $50, All aliens must have a special alien license costing $100. The officer also warned that “if you can’t see the horns, it's a doe.” No regulation on migratory birds has yet been announced, but chang- es have been made to conform to the bag limit provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty regulations which may give Alaska as much as 60 days hunting this season com- pared with half that amount last year. Dufresne said no word had come\ to him on the migratory bird set- up but he was hopeful for 60 days The earliest of the revived Olym- pic Games (776 B. ©. included athletic ‘duels, but also competi- tion in art, music, literature, poet- ry, oratory, etc. Chariot races were added later. i Returning home, victors in earli- lest Olympics were honors, A hole was ripped out of the city wall through which the athlete entered—the idea being that a city possessed of such an athlete need fear no harm from enemies.
