There Is as much confusion and d.
vision and duplication of authority
and responsibility in the protection OF
the fauna Of Alaska as there is with
respect to claims.
Many of the islands frequented by
birds are act aside as bird reserves
and are under the protection, so far
as the birds are concerned, OF the
Biological Survey. The survey sends
a keeper in the summer to guard some
of these islands, hut otherwise II has
no representative in the territory and
performs no other activities. except to
place some reindeer. secured from the
Bureau of Education, on one or two
islands.
Game animals throughout Alaska are
protected by wardens hired by and
under the direction Of the Governor Of
Alaska, who enforce regulations made
by the Department of Agriculture and
are paid from an appropriation made
to and disburSed by the Department
of the Interior. Fur bearing animals
are under the protection of wardcns
appointed by the Secretary Of Com
mcrce. Game animals, under the dis
tinctions of the present laws, are
deer. moose, caribou, mountain sheep.
mountain goats, brown bear, sea lions
and walrus, Fur bearing animals
comprise rabbits, squirre.s. wolves,
wolverines. lynx. mink, offers, beavers,
foxes and black and other bears,
The Department of Commerce
breeds foxes ON the Prihilof Islands
and sells their skins. This Depart
ment also leases certain islands 2f
the southern coast Of the Territory for
fox farming, but until recently had
made no provision for encouraging fox
raising by giving or selling foxes for
breeding purposes from its lrih.lof
supply, Because Of this lack of breed
ing animals attempts at foN farming
as private enterprises have generally
been unsuccessful,
Last summer an agent of the Blu
reau of Education discovered evidence
Of wholesale slaughter of walruscH
and reported II IA menaCing The food
supply of the natives and their dogs.
He had no authority in the matter
and his report when sent to Wash
ington was forwarded to tho Depart
ment OF Agriculture, where it VAS
decided that the killing was III, ga! out
that there was no machinery avail
able for effectively preventing such
slaughter.
The in%congruity OF the present d.
vision Of authority over the animals Of
Alaska is pointed out by the Comm.s-
