 Leon Urbach Seward licensing off cer for the Alaska Game Commission, in the last mail from Juneau head quarters of the commission received the following bulletin relative to the capture of fur-bearing animals:
 The office of the Alaska Game Commission and Bureau of Biological Survey at Juneau announces that in the future permits for the capture of land fur-bearing animals in Alaska for propagation purposes will be issued from the Juneau office, and that ap- plications need no longer suffer delay by being sent to the Washington of flee as has been the custom in the past. This arrangement is made in accordance with Regulation P of the Alaska Game Law.
 MT. Walker, Executive Officer of the Commission, states that the BiOlOgi- cal Survey and Alaska Game Com mission are doing all in their power to foster the development of fur farming in Alaska and permits for the capture of limited number of fur bearing animals for propagation pur- poses are granted to persons who show they are prepared to take proper care of fur bearing animals they may capture under permit
 Applications for capture permits should state name in full, residence and postoffice address, location of fur farm, or where they propose to keep the animals, together with brief statement of the facilities the appli cant has for the care of any animals taken, the number and kind of ami mals which it is desired to capture and if the capture operations are not to be carried on by the applicant, the application should give the name ot the person who is to engage in the capture.
 The permit is issued without charge but the person who is to do the cap ture work must hold a valid license under the Alaska Game Law permit ting him to take land furbearing ani mals. Persons who can qualify fol the resident trapping license at fee of $2 need only take out that license Nonresident citizens must have the $50 license, and aliens must have the $1OO license.
 "Mr Walker states that while they are quite liberal in the granting oI such permits, they endeavor to make certain that the person is actually go ing into bona fide fur farming and is prepared to care for the animals talk en. He also points out that due te the facts that few persons are eXpe rienced ill the care of wild animals that permits will ordinarily be issued for only small numbers, which h. states is sufficient to enable the ap plicant to get start to experiment and to determine whether or not h. can raise them successfully. Addi tional permits may usually be obtain ed if the person finds he can success fully raise the animals and is prepared to care for them.
 Permits will not ordinarily b. granted according to MT. Walker fo the capture of animals to be removed from the Territory for he states it i the aim of the Commission to foste the development of fur farming in tn Territory
 "PermitteeS are required to hay the permit in their possession in car turing animals and are prohibited iron destroying the dens or burrows of an mals in the capture and are prohit ited from using smoke or chemical in capturing them.
 "Permittees are required to compl with the provisions of the flask Game Laws and regulations and tn Territorial laws. At the expiration C the calendar year for which a permi is granted, they shall submit repo1 of operations conducted under the pel init. The Commission also points ou that when animals have been capture and fur-farming operations have bee actually established, parties are r, quired to have both the Territorial flu farm license and the Alaska Gam Commission fur farm license"
