Bow CT, of the Alaska division of the Bureau of Fisheries. According to the order no restrictions are placed on the killing and ship ping of black bear in Alaska and the news will come as a pleasant surprise to nimrods who have heretofore been restrained from shooting black bear in the terri tory.
 The order. of the secretary of commerce is in response to a widespread appeal from hunters in Alaska.

Atlanta Is doing her best TO be an
