Letter Upholds Bounty Law.
One Of the letters upholding the
bounty law Of Alaska is from Wright
Wenrich "f Juneau. who said:
Strange as it may seem to you.
most OF us here shoot the American
eagles whenever we can. whether q
bounty exists or not, feeling that every
eagle killed means the annual saving
of many. many valuable. or at least
harmless. birds, beasts and fishes. We
feel as a nan has Il right to feel when
Il public service has been performed.
At least the lives of many innocent
creatures has been spared.
"How many eagles exist in this ter
ritory. comprising an area equal to Il
fifth of :he United States, ! would
not venture to estimate. On August
l was discussing the salmon propa-
cation situation with the man in
charge of the territorial fish commits
sion's work at Ketchikan, Alaska.
Among other things he told me of see
ing eagles in tlockS numbering 500
along the salmon spawning streams.
! The birds were buSil! engaged in pick
/ ing out the eyes first. and then flesh
ing the bones of the salmon so killed.
Nor were these spent salmon. for they
had not recently entered the streams.
l do not doubt his story. Then. too.
many other men have estimated the
number of eagles seen in favorable 10
caiitieS along the salmon streams at
even greater numbers.
Another phase of the situation YVES
brought TO my attention by q carefully
observing forest ranger, who has
been in this section many yearS--that
( the eagles are becoming gunwiSe and

fact. So have |.
"A second phase seems to be de-
