TO KILL ALASKA GAME.
BIZ No1U at Washington Strongly
Opposed.

Senator Dillingham; has introduced a bill in the
United States Senate which hiT.gts the I'M
pO-tant question OF game preservation in Alaska
Many good authorities say that the passage OF
the bill Will mean the determination Of Wild ami
mails in that Territory within the next FIVE years.
The bill practically repeals all the existing game
laws IN force in the Territory and substitutes
which is himsy that fits effect will be to place
all Alaskan game the mercy Of the residents OF
Alaska.
The special advocates OF Mr.. Dflingham's bill
are Lieutenant c.. T. Emmons, Of tho United
States Navy: ". L Washburn. superintendent OF
the Northern Commercial Company, and Judge
Charles s Johnson. Of Nome Thei- plea q that
the present game law is a great hardship TO the
residents Of Alaska in general and to the natives
in particular. 1t is a well known fact that the
Alaskan Indians destroy their own food supply of
Wild game IN a manner that is beyond Belief. Il is
asserted however. by the advocates Of tho Dfng
ham bill that the Indians kill sparingly. and that
TIE greatest destruction has been done by non
residents in guest OF antlers and heads trophies
and by those who export skins and hides.

It seems that all the Indians have overwhelm-
ing desire To destroy animal life. Whenever We
