OPINIONS ASKED FROM
 ALASKANS ON GAME LAW

The following questionable is be- ing sent out under the auspices of A. P. Kashevaroff, Secretary of the Alaska Fish and Game Club, at Ju- neau, to determine something of the general sentiment on the subject of the proposed new game law:
 "The Nelson game bill (No. H. R 12143) recently introduced asks Con- gress to combine management of fur bearers and game under a Commits sion of four Alaskans, one from each division, hired and fired by the Secretary of Agriculture, and the resident head of the Biological Sur vey, which position may only be discharged by Congress.
 DO you like it, or would you pre- fer an Alaskan's idea: Congress to combine management of fur-bearers and game under separate Boards for each division, each Board con- posed of: A Divisional Chief Warden, Game Commissioner at large, and the Governor, the Commissioner and the Governor to sit on all Boards Thus permitting the Divisional Chief Warden to study carefully condi- tions in his division, the Commits sioner to coordinate work in all di- visions, and the Governor to CO., ordinate wild life conservation with other public interests, and to make appointments.
 "This is not party or factional proposition between Alaskans. The principle involved is: Control To- cated in Alaska or in Washington. Which do you prefer?"
 Expressions of approval or dis approval are requested from all persons interested in the game reg ulations of the Territory. Commun- ications should be addressed to A. P. Kashevaro4f, Juneau, Alaska.

Wall Street, as Viewed

Antedatng all this was my early training.
From childhood hour the Wall Street man has
been pointed out to me as one Of the devils
minions only slightly removed from the bar
room gambler and card sharper. The trade of
broker had tainted smell. The home
in which | reared was purchased from an
unfortunate old gentleman who lost his pile
through speculation. 1t was a large Colonial
mansion, which had been done over and very
nearly done for in the late jg-saw period
Golden oak and cherry had replaced it's white
trim. Parquet floors with fancy borders, an
elaborate stair rail with brass fligree insets
mantels with as many shelves as a village
postofice - these were among the details
superimposed by the old gentleman in the
