FUR SEAL PATROL
Two Ships to Leave Seattle April
Is and Another June 5; Hunt
ing Privileges Are Outlined.

Is and Another June 5; Hunt
ing Privileges Are Outlined.
Orders have been issued by the
United States Coast Guard for the
annual Boring Sea patrol for the
protection of the seal herd, and
the cutters, algonquin" "Haida,"
and "Unalga" have been designat-
ed for principal duty in this years
patrol. The new cutter North
land also will participate in the
patrol to a limited extent on a
trial cruise in the early summer.
In connection with the patrol
plans, Coast Guard headquarters is
sued the following statement in
which are reiterated the privileges
Of seal permissible under the North
Pacific Sealing Convention:
Shortly the vessels of the Boring
Sea Patrol Force will enter upon
one phase of their duties-the pro-
lection of the seal herds in their
migratory movements northward
and the enforcement of the pro-
visions of the North Pacific Seal
ing Convention of July z, 1911.
Under this Convention the killing
of fur seals is prohibited except by
the designated Government rep
resentatives in the Pribilof Islands,
and by Indians, Amos, Aleuts, or
other aborigines dwelling On the
coast of the waters mentioned in
Article 1 of the Convention who
carry on pelagic sealing in canoes
not transported by or used in con-
nection with other vessels, and pro-
PEELED entirely by oars, paddles, or
sails, and manned by not more than
five persons each, in the way hith-
erto practiced and without the use
of firearms.
During some of the past seasons,
the patrol cutters observed that in
instances the Indian were in the
habit of having their canoes towed
to and from the sealing grounds
by motor boats, and the question
was placed before the proper Gov
eminent department for an .opinion
as to whether or not such practice
was in violation of the Convention
and law.
In an opinion rendered on June
%, 1925, the Bureau of Fisheries
stated in part: GO It is clear
ly the intent of Article of the
Convention that the privilege of
taking seals accorded Indians and
other aborigines shall be exercised
under conditions involving only the
use of primitive methods. With
the sealing grounds from five to
thirty miles off shore, the towing
of sealing canoes between the seal
ing grounds and the shore daily
seems to make the towing by
motor boats a very important, If
not an essential, element of the
sealing operation.
''It is therefore the opinion Of
this Bureau that the towing of
sealing canoes, used by Indians
operating off the coast of Wash
ington, to the sealing grounds by
motor boats, is violation of
Article 4 Of the North Pacifis Seal
ing Convention of Juy z, 1911. ss."

DOES 4 R1TTLESN1KE REASON? SOME
 MIGHT SAY THEY DO AND SOME WOULD
 NOT BE QUOTED; DOC DOESN'T KNOW

NEW YORK. Nov 9-Does q rattlesnake reason?
 Dr. Benjamin Hyde asserts an emphatic affirmative.
 This is by reason of his pro fessional standing and his opin ion carries weight, especially among natliralists.
 As an experiment. Dr. Hyde brought a mother and eight baby rattlers to his home.
 They soon learned their meals were served from a rat trap. in the basement.
 Furthermore of course they have reason--pleasing sounds of the phonograph attracted the snakes. The family generally sought places of vantage before they started the instrument go- ing, however.
 But-now here 1t is--last night, about midnight, Dr. Hyde felt a tug at his pajama sleeve. Mama rattler was doing the tugging. Dr. Hyde arose and followed the snake to the first floor where he interrupted the unwelcome activs- ties of burglar.
 And then--here it is--right there on the floor the eight snakelets were buzzing their baby rattlers, assumably for the police.
 But, even Dr. Hyde admits this is only a theory.

OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY

With this issue The Alaskan turns it's first milestone of it's lfe Conceived through force of necos- sity. in order that the truths about Alaska might be published, we eL- tered this field. We had not the price of a postage stamp; govern ing directors being scattered, no one would assume responsibility of pay, ing any debts contracted or even furnish supplies of any kind. We went ahead only with the determin- alton to follow instructions of those who had invested in plant aud equipment.
 Our first job stock was wrapping paper our first ink, paint and var nish. The returns from our first jobs with this ink and paper se- cured for us other stock. With bare hands and nothing but deter imitation we gave the best in lus to the paper and to the community.
 We have had many pleasures in this work in this field; we have had some sorrow; we have made some good friends and we have made some good or bad enemies We have set our end to the publish. ing of those things we believed worth while; we have had at all times in mind the better develop ment of our community.
 How well we have succeeded b indicated in a steadily growing sub scription list; how we'll our hopes and aims have carried On may bt guaged from those things which ws have tried to follow.
 Of the future we are OptOmistic We announced last fall that w were here to stay. We are moro strongly entrenched now than a that time. As to bank accounts we are not much richer than wheI we started but we have had 8 lo of worth while experience and VI are better equipped as to stock ant workroom than this time last year
 To those of our friends who sup ported us we express our appreci ation; to those who have opposed us, we give-the same.

son that there are many hypotheses. However, it is left for the future to solve. We are only at the begin ming, a lot of work lies ahead of us. N
 So far as the connection between these changes of the herring sup ply and of the catch of the fisher men, it lies outside the scope of this article. But as a passage or bridge to the examination of the younger herring, may this question only be touched.
 To begin with, it might seem plausible that these changes in the yearly supply of frye would have great and also closely noticeable ef- feet on the fishing of the young herring The so-called "smaasild'' consist only of two classes: first and second year Likewise the ''fet- sild' consists of a few classes, on- ly third, fourth, fifth and sixth years. According to this we would expect that the great differences of the supply frye would make itself especially felt rather than that which Is put together by many
The Alaskan., 1927-07-15
years supply of herring.

In a way this is also true. Yet the connection as we'll as the de- pendence is not quite as simple as this supposition would suggest. The statistics shows that the quantity of ''smaasild", and "fetsild' varies greatly from year to year. A catch of half million hectoliter smaa- slid and similar quantity fetsild, the statistics calls a fair season. We have since 1902 the year when this work was begun, three differ- ent years that stand out Over a million hectoliter were taken up in 1909; 1.1 million hectoliter fet- slid in 1914; II million hectoliter { smaasild and in 1919, II millions hectoliter.
 The investigations have proven that the rich supply from 1914 con- tributed great deal to the excel lent result of "fetsildfske" of 1909; and it is more than possible that the rich supply of frye of 1913 1918 are responsible for the splen-
 did catch of 1914 and 1919 re- spectively However, at present
