Feb. 27 ODD FELLOWS HALL ADMISSION: $1.50 Obtain tickets from Legion' Members | during World War 1L | The agency made the disclosure | in announcing that the sea otters of Alaska and the Alcutians Islands have done so well, under 40 years of government protection, that they soon may be transplanted to other Alaskan and Aleutian areas. “This increase was in spite of the fact that many soldiers stationed in the Aleutians took a fancy at ‘potting’ sea otters,” the announce- ment said. . “Some of the men tried to take home sea otter souvenirs—still worth several hundred dollars each in some of the world’s markets—but Fish and Wildlife game manage- ment agents ‘discouraged’ the prac- tice. . “Finally, the killing of sea otters by soldiers and the smuggling of | pelts to Europe by pilots was stopped by the Army’s cooperation.” A service spokesman added that the airmen flew the pelts from Alaska to Colorado, where they were loaded aboard ferried to England. He said he did not know how extensive the prac- tice was. The sea otter population now is estimated at 8000, with the largest number on Amchitka (about 4,000) with the rest scattered in small groups along other islands and coastal areas. When funds for winter-trapping of animals become available, the agency said, the otters will be trans- planted in small colonies on Adak and other islands which the ani- mals occupied before hunters killed them off, and along the Alaskan coast.
