ALL HATCHERY EQUIPMENT IS

Alaska Fish & Game Club Offers All Its Equipment to the Territory of
 Alaska.
Wright Wenrich)

The Alaska Fish and Game Club has offered it's troughs and all hat chery equipment, valued at $1,0h0, to the Territory. if the Territory takes over the now heavy burden Of salmon culture. But the members will not disband, when this is done. On the contrary. they are planning to continue and enlarge the scope of their research work in Investigating and recording the habits of fish and game of all species.
 With the facts concerning Alaska wild life, which the members and other close observers contribute, the club will always be in a position to advise intelligently when questions of this kind are in dispute or in doubt. It is on the reports of it's members that the Club has, after sitting and digesting the facts, ap- proved or disapproved game and fish legislation during the Fourth Legisla- tive session.
 The value of the information thus gathered, for present and future ref erence, both from a natural history standpoint and from the practical standpoint of applying this knowledge to an immediate practical purpose in conserving and utilizing game and fish economically, is almost inesti- mable
 Bound together as the members are by their interest in all wild life, from a standpoint of knowledge for it's own sake as well as a direct application of that knowledge in a commercial way, there is harmony in the cooperation of the Club mem bers surprising to those not familiar with the Clubs activities. Scarcely ever does a stranger attend and go |away before joining and becoming an enthusiastic booster for the cvlub
 The Alaska Fish & Game Club will hold an open meeting Tuesday night in the hatchery building ad- joining the Union Pool Hall to which all interested in improving the game and fish laws are invited to attend. Eight o'clock sharp is the time.
