abundance of wolves. We should have
bounty of at least $50 per wolf and
then allow the taker to dispose of the
skin. By so doing we could establish
wolf-hunting industry until the men
ace from this source has been greatly
cut down.
Of course you know that the big
brown, bear Notwithstanding his mem
ace to property and human life, is
strictly protected for the sake of the
nonresident sportsman. The trouble
with all nonresident sportsmen in
Alaska is that they do not understand
the attitude of the people nor their
necessities, and that they see Alaska
through the eyes of resident of
state of perhaps millions of people.
Alaska at best is a grim country to
live in. 1t is only the hardy who at
tempt to come here and develop the
country; and I consider that any legis-
lation drawn by people who have not
been long familiar with the territory
will result in not only the extermina-
ton of game through disregard Of
the laws, but will also result In doing
away with the hardy class of people
on whom all new exploitation is de-
pendent.
Returning once more to your COM
ments on the sale of game in restaur-
ants, it is quite true that at Cordova
it is not absolutely necessary to sell
game, but take, for instance, the little
mining camps with which am so
familiar and which are entirely cut
off from any outside meat supply, now
totally dependent upon game for
meat; it would work an untold hard
ship upon them if regulations should
be made forbidding the sale of game.
I speak from experience of the ne
cessity of having game meat, for IN
the winter of '97 I experienced a
touch of scurvy from which it took me
several years to recover, through a
lack of fresh meat
THOs. RIGGS JR.
Note.-While what Governor Riggs
says about the necessity of prospect
ors and others in the Interior living
on game meat is absolutely true, yet
there IS hardly any excuse for serving
it at hotels and restaurants in the
towns along the railroad where beef,
pork and mutton are procurable. the
summer boarding of dogs in the game
fields should also be stopped, as these
dogs can easily and economically be
cared for in the towns during the
summer where scraps from the table
can be used for feed. We have no
quarrel at all with Alaska s. genial and
well-meaning governor. We were In
his company for days on this trip and
| learned enough of his ideas to know
that he is sincere in his beliefs. Our
| ideals run parallel on many important
details and while we may be apart on
some points (the Sulzer bill, federal
regulations, etc., in the main we har-
monte thoroughly. We shall dwell
on the game conditions and game laws
of Alaska in more detail in the paper
that we are now preparing covering
our late trip to Alaska and Yukon
territory, in which we shall voice some
! recommendations that we hops will
be acted upon-Editor Outdoor Life.

HIGH COST OF T.
PRODUCTION
AMERICA

LONDON, March 6-Belief that be-
cause of the high cost of production
of iron and steel in America, the Unit
ed States will not be able successfully
to compete with Great Britain in neu-
trail markets, is expressed in trade
circles here, says statement made
by the American Chamber of Com
merce in London
The United Kingdom, it was assert
ed, will maintain first place in these
industries if it gets assistance from
the state and has no trouble from
labor. Great activity is to be seen
among manufacturers who are con-
verting their machinery to peace
basis. TO meet the demands of steel
makers the government is seeking to
secure 100000 tons of pig-iron from
the United States for delivery this
year.
Germany, the chief pre-war com
petitor of Greet Britain, has temper
arily, at least, been removed from the
field Twenty years ago Great Britain
exported four times as much steel as
Germany, but in the last year before
the war, it is said, Germany exported
million tons more than Great
Britain.

SIX YEARS

Six years have produced a marvellous change in business
conditions in the South, When the Cotton States Merchants
association was organized in 1913 business was at a low ebb and
it was not long before even darker days made their appearance
The association cannot claim to have brought about the revolu-I
tin in business that has taken place within that time, but it has
been a factor in teaching the merchant and farmer how to meet
the changed conditions and how to ride safely the tide of pros
perity that has swept over our favored section. An organization
OF men engaged i'll the same trade or business. If founded upon
the desire to render public service as we'll as for mutual protec-
ton, has its advantages, producing. as it does, an association OF
minds where there must be more or less of conflict of individual
interest, which, in the end, must be marked by compromise and
concession for the public good. 1t is always pleasing to have in
our midst a gathering OF high-minded, progressive business men.
Memphis is sensible of the honor it has in the privilege Of enter
tanning these gentlemen. 1t is a pleasure that is heightened in
the prospect for benefits to be bestowed where they will count
most for the community. The idea of cooperation is ancient,
its. recognition is more recent, and its application is essentially
modern. Vt contains a newly discovered value. Once avoided
and afterward recognized, it has now become a fixed principle
upon which rests the welfare of all the people. There has come
a wholesome conviction that prosperity depends upon fair deal
ing and honest methods that a few must not profit at the expense
OF the many, but that all must share alike in the fortunes and
vicissitudes that come in their turn, and that the foundation oil
business rests upon confidence, and confidence cannot be
bestowed; it must be earned, and to be held the possessor mus
not falter in protecting his trust. That is why it is a good thing
for men to come together and talk over the vital subjects in whicl
all the country is interested and to which the public is lending
a willing ear.
