CHARCE.THAT
 MOST OF FISH IS FROM STREAMS
Alleged in Meeting Most of Southeastern Fish Are Caught by Seiners
 in Fresh Water.

At the meeting of the Council of National Defense yesterday it was stated that the larger portion of this years Southeastern Alaska fish pack was taken from the streams, and a motion was adopted creating a com mittee to prepare statement of the case to telegraph to the Bureau of Fisheries and requesting that there be additional patrolmen for the re mainder of the season.
 The regulations adopted by the Bu reu provided for the appointment of a limited number of patrolmen to guard the creeks and prevent fishing in them during the present season. There has been some criticism of the patrolmen appointed, some of them high school boys and, 1t is charged, none of them experienced in the fisheries business.
 This matter was taken up earlier in the season, and the circumstance that patrolmen are only paid $75 a month, for four months, the men to board themselves and it was found difficult to get any but people seek ing a vacation who were willing to serve.
 It was stated that unofficial re- ports have been received of seiners getting their seines in the streams and chasing the fish down into them

Delegate Charles A.

The Postoffice Department, according to Delegate Sulzer, desired to await de velopments under operation of the new plan before determining on its future course. Delegate Sulzer will take the matter up further when he gets reports on the results of the ex- perience under the new arrangement
 The Postoffice Department repre- sents that the tenders of the steam ship companies did not provide un- dertaking the usual obligations of mail carriers, and practically meant an offer to carry mail when they made trips, and at rate which the Department regarded as too high.

EsKIM0s HUNT THE SEAL
Pursuers Of Rich-Furrcd Animals
Sneak Up Close Enough to Shoot.
Arrow Into Their Head,

Today the Eskimo method of hunt.
ing seals is a primitive calling i'm.
proved to a fine art, writes a natural.
list. When a seal is discovered the di.
rection Of the wind is at once noted.
Then the hunter, keeping himself to
the leeward of the seal, walks up to
within about a quarter Of a mile Of it.
Beyond this he begins to crouch and
advances only when the seats head is
down.
Now, as the seal is one of the most
wide-awake of animals and has the
habit of throwing up it's head quickly
every few seconds to guard against
danger, it follows that the Eskimo has
to be extremely alert If he would get
his seal. When the seals head is down
upon the ice it's eyes are shut, and it
is said that in these brief intervals it
takes it's sleep.
The hunter, by carefully watching
the seals movements, is able without
much difficulty to get within about 2OC
yards of it, but at closer quarters he
Is obliged to employ other tactics. He
lies down at full length on the ice.
Then the real sport begins.
When the seals head is down the
hunter, who keeps a keen eve on his
prey, Is able to approach still nearer
by dragging himself forward on his ell
bows. This maneuvering continues for
some time, until the distance between
man and beast has been reduced to a
few yards.
