' New Regulations
 Alaska Game Law

portant changes in the former game ! laws of the Territory, and the changes S have met'the approval of the Secretary
 of Agriculture. phe commission is composed of E. p Walker who is the executive officer, and,also chief agent of the 5. Sociological survey in Alaska; Dr. W. H. Chase, of CordoVa; Thomas D. Jensen, of Nome, and Dr. r. s.
 Whitney, of Fairbanks.
 The commission has issued pamph t' letcoyeringsthe new regulations. Some ot the moreimportant changes are as follows:
 The new act not only prohibits kill ing, but attempting to take, kill or transport except as is permitted by the
 regulations Therefore any taking, ! killing.s possessing or transporting of aanimsls or birds covered by the act which is not specifically permitted in ,"the regulations is prohibited.
 .s"No nonresident can hunt or trap M without @ license. To establish resi- s-dence onemust reside in the Territory one year for the purpose of making his r, permanent home e.therein.
 Heretofore the transient summer n population has been enjoying resident hunting privileges but under the new law they will not be considered resi- dents, which makes it necessary for them to purchase non- resident hunting licenses before hunting any of the ! game birds or animals in Alaska. Ll- censes for nonresident citizen big game hunters remain at $50. An ad ditional license at a fee of S10 has been provided totake care of nonresident citizens who wish to hunt only for game birds. Resident citizens are forbidden eto take,any animals or birds protected aoy the act without an alien special li- cense costing S100 unless they have within the past seven years and for the 6rst time declared their intention to become citizens. This prevents aliens from enjoying resident citizen priv 'Sfleges under second, third and fourth acts of first papers. Nonresident aliens are required to take out the $l00 li- ,cense.
 Nonresident hunters must have registered guides when hunting game animals, and na one who is not regis tered guide shall guide non resident 4hunter after game animals.
 "Heeding the demand of Alaskan trappers for law to eliminate the pro- miscuous trapping by aliens. and hay sS ing received joint concurrent resolu- tion from the 1925 legislature, the com mission has by regulation required a resident trapper's license at a ice of S2, ? as fixed by the act. The alien trapper umust pay $l0o, and the nonresident ~citizen $50s Only native-born Indians OF Esk imos who have not exercised the right of franchise or severed their tribal relations are not required to take out.trapping g;lieenses.
 'sThe shipping license covering ship ! ment of trophies for mounting and re- turn has beens fEeG at Sl, instead of thes5 fee of the old regulations. A new shipping license has been provided for persons taking trophies with them when removing jHtheir residence from the Territory The cost is S5 for each trophy, and they oanrtake as many tro- phies as they have legally acquired.
 nGuide licenses shall be issued an nually at the same fee as heretofore, Sl0 per year,
