CORDOVA WOULD BEL0ClCALFUR
 MARKET

A movement has been launched in the Territory to transfer the fur sale market from St. Louis to Alaska, fol- lowing the receipt of advices from Washington that such matter is now under consideration before the Senate Commerce Committee, which is now holding hearings on a bill introduced by Senator Johnson, California, pro- viding that Alaska fur seal be sold only in salted form. This it was point ed out would obviate the necessity of sending the skins to St. Louis for cur ing and tanning.
 An effort will be made to have the bill amended to require the annual sales of fur seal skins taken from the Pribilof Islands, held in the Territory.
 Senator Johnson's bill, which was introduced last April, provides:
 That each and every fur seal skin taken on Pribilof Islands of Alaska under the provisions of the Act ap- proved August 24. 1912, shall be ac- curately measured, as to record it's salted length and girth prior to it's dis tribution or sale by the Secretary of Commerce, who shall make and pre- serve such complete record of meas urement thereof, and of the proceeds derived from such distributions or sale of said skins: PROVIDED, that no fur seal or fur seals shall be taken, the skin or skins of which when prop trly salted, or cured on salt, shall measure less than thirty-seven and one-half inches in length; PROVIDED FURTHER, that all fur seal skins so taken and recorded shall be sold or distributed in their salted form as cured and shipped from the islands, and in no other shape, by the Secre- tary of Commerce, from and after the passage of this Act"
