I also ask you heads of our government, and people of Alaska, if the money that is spent by out- side sportsmen is worth the life of one of our Alaskan people. I know | you will say no. Nevertheless, it |is a fact the Kodiak or brown bear| also found in Southeast Alaska has torn up, maimed, killed, and crip- pled many of our people. There are four people right here in Sitka now, and they were so badly torn that they will never be the same in health again, yet the bear are protected by the Game Department. be - arrested , and fined: and im- prisoned. These bears are a men- ace to human life. They, the bears, not only break the game and fish- ing laws, for . they periodically throw out. many salmon on the banks of streams that us fisher- men, if we did the same, would be arrested for, and also I have had occasion .to watch them after the deer, and.state on oath that they are a great killer of them. Next we have the black bear, also protected. They are in South- east Alaska in great numbers’and anyone who cares to go up the fish streams in the fall will find the banks.
