 eumuIatcd sufficient of this treasure sup. posed to lie here for the taking.
 Which jS another argument why the savior of wild game should not be allowed to talk or write yoIuabIy on a subject he knows not of.
 He cites an instance where 6,OOC pounds of wild game were fed to laborcr. on the government railway. He forgcts t, ~ratc however, that the Mcclure party an. several other scientific parties which lately pc~torcd the game animals of the territory killed more than this and wasted the great CT part of if. These parties hunt more fol the pleasure of killing. The Alaskan, Whc is footing the territory" hunts because he must have fresh meat One party ot hunters from the states wastes more gamC than all the hunters and prospcctors in AL a~ka. Even the natives eat everything but the below of a moose.
 The doctor again refers to action talk. cu up with the game club at Juneau. Tho man who hunts around the Southeastern part of Alaska does 50 for pure sport. He j~ within two days of the markets of the states, with numerous ships with cold Stol. age facilities. The residents north of Sixty two hunt from necessity. And to secure enough fresh meat to last thru the season hn must necessarily violate the game law by killing more than the legal bag in one day.
 The SuIzcr game bill which the doctor boasts of defeating was one of the most sensible bills yet presented in congress. Ii provided that a man with game in his pos session at the end of the open season be moi compelled to throw it away but could use ii thru the closed season when the prospectol and miner has no time to hunt, and whcr game is breeding and unfit to kill Meat must be stored in the fall to be good. anC cnough must be stored to last until the game is in good condition the next fall. In der The laws proposed by Dr.. Hornaday ( man with game in his possession at the enc of the season was liable to fine and con tiscation of the meat a fine law for the set tIcmont of a new country where game is the only meat the settler sees the ycal around.
 Alaska should have a game law fol each division The laws for the First divi sion should be different than those of the Second, Third and Fourth.
 The laws for the Fourth and the Sec. Ond should be less restrictive than those O1 some localities in the Third When one re- members that the Third division is a thou sand or more miles across and from two to three hundred miles wide it can be seer that a. variety of laws must apply to this one division alone
 The law regarding the sale of game is right in many localities and wrong in many Ii depends on the degree of settlement. Fol instance it should be unlawful to sell gamC jim Valdez but legal to sell game twenty miles away in a mining camp. It is better for the mine operators to buy game iron the natives than to attempt to feed his men bacon and salt meats all summer. II the men were forced to kill their own gamC lo NOIh Would Ot uOH6 III Ille nllneS.
 After a long residence in Alaska we can truthfully say that the writer has seer less game wasted here than in any state il the Union. The Eastern sportsman has nc excuse for killing; the Alaskan must kill to live
 A law that is needed more than any Othcr one is one preventing Eastern sports men under the guise of ''scientific parties ; from entering the territory and indis- criminatcIv SlauUhtprinU eVprvthino from
