FUR SEALS IN

Hanna Will Be Sent to Alas
ka BY Bureau Of
Fisheries.

San Francisco June 3.-Dr. G.
Dallas Hanna. member of the staff of
the California academy of sciences.
has just left here for Alaska. where
he will make census Of the fur seals
on the Pribilof Islands under direc-
| ton of the United States bureau Of
fisheries. .,.
| DR.. Hanna has been connected with
! this work each year since 113. In
1919 it was reported that there were
! $4,000 animals in the herd. In 1910
when the government first took over
the operation Of the island industry
| there were less than 100000 During
the time when this increase was TAX
ing place enough surplus and useless
males have been killed and their
skins sold at auction to provide the
national treasury with $3,5o0,000
above all expenses. according to w.
J W. Sergeant secretary of the Cali
fornia academy of sciences.
The purpose of the census is chiefly
to determine how many animals can
be safely removed each year and still
J provide for maximum percentage Of
increase Of the herd. If the increase
in 1920 continues as heretofore, it is
said that there should be about 600,-
600 Of these amphibious fur bearers,

as we'll as surplus of about 10000
males which can be killed for their
skinS. At current prices of these
furs they will be valued at about
"Since the cost of operation will be
/ less than 100000, it is quite evident
that this industry is one of the best
if not the best financial enterprise the
government has" said Mr.. Sargent,
"and it is capable of almost un-
limited expansion provided the fe-
males are protected at sea and the
surplus males are removed from the
herd. The fighting of such males on
! the crowded rookeries causes large
mortality among the females and
young.
] THE carcasses of the j. animals
killed were formerly allowed to waste
/ but last year by-products plant was
put into operation by means of which
it is expected a very superior oil and
animal meal will be placed on the
