black. and glacier bears. besides a
variety of WATERFOWL, shore birds. and
upland game birds. In game resources
Alaslla compares favorably with the
western part of the United States in
early days. and at the present time
it is one OF the most important game
regions in the world.
Without entering into the general
subject of the value of game to all
countries possessing it, Alaska's game
may be considered chiefly with refer
ence to the features making it espe-
cially valuable.
Alaska is of particular Importance
as a game region because, of all
American possessions, it is the one in
which frontier conditions promise to
last longest. Notwithstanding its
wealth of mineral and other resources
the territory is not likely to be thick
ly populated, at least not for decades
to come 1t is true railroads already
are beginning to penetrate its wilds
and no doubt cities of considerable
size will develop, but, even so, i'm
mense tracts far from populous cen
ters will long remain in almost prime
vnl condition. This is apparent from
Che great size of the territory and its
,.u-natic and photographic conditions.
lcs area is almost one-fifth that of the
entire United States. and although
much of this is economically full OF
promise it must not be forgotten that
nearly one-fourth lies beyond the
arctic circle and that large proper
ton of the remainder consists of high
mountains and inhospitable wilds. In
the states irrigation is reclaiming
many arid tracts and drainage is max
ing it possible to utilize swamps and
waste areas which now furnish re-
fuges for game.
From all parts of the country come
reports of an increasing scarcity of
game animals. Hence our remaining
natural game preserves in Alaska are
the more to be priced and correspond
inely to be guarded. Within the
United States certain kinds of game
may be maintained for years on their
original range. but for other kinds
ths. reserve is inevitable, as no re-
striction of shooting can offset the
constant diminution of the natural
range they require. Thus most of the
winter feeding grounds of the wapiti,
or elk, already have been absorbed
sor agricultural purposes and the ami
mails bid fair to be reduced to semi
domestica..on, being fed like cattle in
winter or confined to .nclosed or re-
Asricted ranges. The same experience

peremptorily. Very different. however,
are conditions in Alaska. and SO far
as can be seen at present. Oample
room for wild game will be available
for years to come.

The Slashed Skirt.

Women should not confuse the
slashed skirt with the sheath skirt.
The former is open to the knees or
the hips and is now filled in with
chiffon, not kaickerbockers. The
sheath skirt is merely a tight, unlined
graceful affair that falls in clinging
folds from the high waistband over
the floor. Each gets it's name from
its appearance. Yet they are constant
ly confused.
