 A report came to the Miner office to- day that party of something in the guise of man but worse even than cannibals' went over on one of the Is- lands and killed about forty deer the other day. The animals were sla ugh tered mot for their meat but for no other reason than that they were help less and could not get away through the deep snow'. Sportsmen what do you think of snch men as these? Can you class them even as men? We say they have no class. Not even the skulking wolf will kill what he cannot eat. It is true the wolves kill the deer, but when the wolf does kill one he feasts on the carcass. When he ha had his fill he hides himself away and sleeps until hunger again drives him forth. Not so with the beasts of prey in the guise of men. They sIaugh- ter because the deer are there "help- less." Alaska has what is an excuse for game law but so far as the deer are concerned we could be just as we'll of with no law, as little or DO attention whatever is paid to the apology we now have. Does are killed, Fawns are killed and brought right into town and carried openly along the streets. If there is no one with authority to en- force the law ''sucn as we have" we had as well have none. Why cant we have law true sportsmans law something that will do some good and protect what little game now left in the district so that in time to come a hunter can go out and be rewarded with at least finding sign of where deer crossed trail less than week previous. If we cant have a law, let us pray that the fool killer will pay this vicinity visit and do his work well while he is here.
