EXPECT MANY SEALS TO
 BE TAKEN THIS YEAR


 Vancouver, E. C.. July 14.-FuI seal ing in Alaskan and British Columbian waters, which suffered for many years because of decimation of the herds through indiscriminate killing, has re- turned and thousands of animals are ex- pected to be taken this year.
 Off the west coast os Vancouver Is- land alone, indians are expected to capture 1000 of the fur bearing ani- mals, and the total catch for the year may reach 100, 900, it is estimated. Last year the waters along the Washington coast produced 1900 skins.
 The story of the Alaskan fur seal herd is an interesting one. When ;he United States acquired Alaska from Russia, the herd was estimated at 2,50o,- 0O Then, through pelagic sealing with its indlscriminate slaughter and attend ant waste of life as well as through lack Of international understanding cn , the question of conservatism, the seals all but disappeared, the industry fell of ard their capture became illegal.
 The decline of the seal herd was pitt able. Shot at sea under this method five or more bodies were lost for each l one recovered. There also was great waste due to starvation Of pups on the shore. Under such conditions the great herd rapidly dwindled until in 1911 there were but approximately 125,000.
 Of prolific tendencies. the seals how ever, multiplied rapidly after, closed sea- sons were instituted for their protection
