William A. Egan who lost a fight to get an appropriation for bounty on eagles included in the general ppropriations bill. The report, by Mr. and Mrs. Ira McClean, fox ranch operators on Prince William Sound, and by Roy Conder, an employee, read as fol- ows: “Three trees known to hold eagle nests were felled, and in the nests e found seven fox tails, and nany pieces of puppy fox skin and , as well as one half-eaten fox pup, this latter being still warm when found.” Another incident was reported by the McCleans: “Out of two families of fox pups only two were found alive, indi- cating that the balance of the pups were probably destroyed by eagles. On the ground, and around the foot of the tree, known to hold an eagle nest, was found a consider-| able amount of fox hair and bits of skin, and the nest in this (rm’} contained much puirified fox skin and some hair.” | A law on the books provides for, a bounty on eagles, but the Sen-| ate knocked out the appropriation D cording suit. ..
