TO PROTECT THE OTTER.
Some Action Necessary for Its Preser,


Some Action Necessary for Its Preserva-
Ion in Alaska.
Dr. William S. Hereford, who has been
engaged in the seal trade in Alaska for the
past fifteen years, came down from the
north on Tuesday as a passenger on the
steam schooner Farallon, and registered at
the Grand.
"The number of seals killed this year,"
said DR.. Hereford yesterday, sis actually
greater than last year. in spite of the PreSi-
dents proclamation. One reason for this is
that the proclamation was not issued until a
large number of seals had been captured,
and then the seal season commenced earlier
than usual this spring
we have had very peculiar weather in
Alaska during the past few months, the
dense and almost continual fogs making it
very difficult matter for the revenue cut
teTs to notify the schooners not TO kill seals
AS the proclamation was imperative with
out the notification, the schooners managed
TO dodge the Government vessels in the fog
and also killed a good many seals after
being ~arnediby the naval officials.
otter hunting IS now on tue decline in
Alaska, promiscuous and indiscrimnats
killing having partially exterminatsd them
in some localities. 1t will sOOr be necessary
to take some steps for the preservation and
protection of otters as we'll as of seals if
their extinction is to be prevented.

Santa Barbara's Collection of Trees for

A communication has been received at the
local Worlds Fair headquarters from
Charles F. Eaton, Superintendent of the
Santa Barbara County exhibition, which
opened on the 10th inst. and is still in prog
ress. 1t has been arranged by the manage
ment that the exhibit of trees and plants, of
which there is a very good collection, shall
be preserved for the Worlds Fair, where
they will be sent as part of the Santa Bar
bara County exhibit. A lath conservatory
is in course of construction, which will be
used as depositary for the specimens until
the proper time for their shipment to
Chicago.
A tree-crate has been patented by Mr..
Eaton which holds the tree in position and
makes possible its removal without disturb
ing the roots or displacing the earth. All
the trees and shrubs are to be packed in
this manner.
1t is believed that Mr.. Eaton, whose name
has been suggested for the direction of the
Horticultural Bureau, is making no effort to
obtain the place, and will not declare his
candidature as long as there is any chance
of obtaining Shorb's nomination. The lat
