THREE AMENDMENTS TO
FUR RULES ANNOUNCED

Three new amendments to the
regulations under the Alaska Game
Law. effective April l, 1928, have
been made public by H. w. Terhune
Executive Secretary of the Alaska
Came Commission.
Most important of the provisions
is one continuing the closed season
on beaver on the Kenai Peninsula
which was to have opened on April
l. 1928. This action was taken be-
cause of the present scarcity of bea-
yer in that region, a condition that
has come to light through recent in
vestigation.
Another provision requires that
all skins of beaver and marten le-
gally imported or taken shall be
sealed by the Alaska Game Commits
sion or its authorized representative
within ninety days after taking or
importing. This amendment was
made to clarity the intention of thu
existing regulations which had beer
interpreted in some quarters to re-
Quire the attachment of a seal with
in ninety days after a skin came
into a persons possession; the in
tent is to have the attachment with
in ninety days after legal importa-
ton or taking.
When skins are to be shipped the
packages containing them must
hereafter be marked on the outside
to show the serial number of thu
seals on any beaver or marten skins
in the package and these numbers
must also be entered on the reports
of shipment that are required by
law.

GAME ASSOCIATION
SUGGESTS CHANGES

At a recent meeting Of the Tana
ma Valley Game Protective assoefaz
ton, held at Fairbanks. a number
Of suggestions were submitted te
the people of the interior district
and If approved by them, will then
be forwarded to the Alaska Game
commission for consideration at the
forthcoming annual meeting of that
organization. The suggestions fol
low:
L Is it expedient to ask congress
for funds to fight the rapidly in
ereasing coyotes and wolves. or
should the territory stand the ex-
pense?
q Is the black bear entitled t.
protection in the interior Of Alaska
3. Shall caribou cows and calves
be protected and permit only the
killing of bulls? Is it feasible to al
low only a part of the seasons limit
of caribous to be taken in August.
the rest to be taken later in the sea
son when danger from spelling Is
past?
4. Shall beaver be transplanted
to the upper Tanana valley? Is tn.
introduction of other fur bearers
such as the fisher, Siberian kolin-
sky. Siberian blue squirrel and the
imperial sable worth attempting?
5. Should Fairbanks have a per
manently appointed forest fire war
den?
The executive heads of the Alaska
Game commission have assured the
Fairbanks association Of the fullest
cooperation in their movements to
better wild life conditions in Alaska.
The Tanana Yukon Game Protec-
tive association was the initial force
behind the legislation that will

The story is laid against the back

There are drills of every branch
of the army service. as well as ath-

The cast is an exceptionally good

the role of the girl in question and
Louise Lorraine is the "vamp."
There is nothing funnier than
non-commissioned officer and
private soldier of the same company
squabbling for the affections of the

more comical situations than any
thing which Byron Morgan, noted

arr BOARD OF trade neld last sunday
afternoon in the Stewart Land Com
pany's office. the question Of estab-
fishing a new province to consist of
the northern portions Of Alberta
and British Columbia was consider
ed. The local interest taken IN this
proposal was manifested by an ex-
ceptionally large attendance and an
earnest discussion which ensued
was In keeping with the seriousness
of the proposition While the mem
bers of the Board with few exeep-
lions thought that an absolute en-
dorsement of the proposal would be
premature at that time. or until the
matter had been more thoroughly
looked into and more data secured
still unanimous consent was given
to the forwarding of the following
telegram and letter to Chas "
Frederick. former mayor of Peace
River and owner Of the Peace River
Record and Grande Prairie Herald
who started the movement, as fully
outlined in these columns two weeks
ago. The subject will be given fur
Their consideration at the regula
meeting of the Board.
Following are the telegram and
letter:
Charles w Frederick,

We congratulate you on your EFF
forts to secure justice for Northern

are bound to have far reaching re-
suits.
Stewart B. C. Board of Trade,
James Morriee, Secretary.
The letter:
We beg to congratulate you OF
your efforts to secure justice to the
people OF Northern Alberta and
British Columbia.
The action you have taken has
brought the long-standing griev-
anees 80 prominently forward that
no longer can they be ignored nor
put off with promises as they have
been in the past. and already the
general tone of the press shows the
eoneiliatory attitude in the matter.
The movement inaugurated is
bound to have far-reaching effects
and should ultimately be the means
of uniting. by logical methods, the
seaDorts of Northern B. C. with tn
Peace River district.
It was decided to send a letter
to the leading newspapers of Brit
ish Columbia and Alberta outlining
the advantages to the Peace River
district to be gained by direct con
nection with the seaport of Stewart
"a route that Is many miles shorter
than any other and that would open
up greater resources. known but
now unproductive.
John Stewart was selected as
committee of one to gather all posi-
Bile data bearing on the proposal of
forming a new province, to report
at the next meeting. Mr.. Stewart
briefly outlined the efforts the resi-
dents of this town had already made
to secure governmental assistance
in opening up the hinterlands BY
means of trails. roads or a railway
and told of how all the claims and
requests to date had been met BY
unfulfilled promises. Mr. stewar
has already gathered mass of in
formation along this line. havinc
been busy on this since the project
was first preached by Mr.. Freder-
lex, and indeed for many years has
been accumulatng information
which will have a direct bearing
on the subject.

Sinclair and Falls Banker
Nephew Already Sum
mOned For Monday
SIX SUBPOENAED
New York Bankers Called
To Testify Concerning
Bond Transaction

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 QPl--The
summoning of Harry F. Sinclair,
wealthy oil operator, and M. T. Ever
hart, son-in-law of Albert B. Fall,
as witnesses in the new senate oil
inquiry to start Monday has taken
most senate leaders by surprise and
they are extraordinarily curious to
see what their attitude will be.
Everhart, who handled $23O,5OO in
liberty bonds which formed part of
the profits of the Continental Trad
ing company Ltd, of Canada, has
twice refused to testify in the civil
and criminal trials growing out Of
the Teapot Dome lease en- the ground
that his testimony would tend TO
incriminate him.
Whether he can successfully take
refuge behind that constitutional pre-
rogative before the senate committee
is regarded in some quarters as a.
moot question since the courts have
ruled that testimony given before
congressional committees may not be
used against person at any SUBJ
Sequeilt criminal trial.
Sinclair now is under three months
sentence in the District of Columbia
jail for his refusal to testify before
the senate oil committee four years
ago, but since he now is under a
criminal indictment awaiting trial,
the general expectation at the capitol
is that he will refuse to testify before
the Oil committee.
Those who will seek to force him
to testify point to the rulings of both
Justices SiddonS and HoehIing in
the District of Columbia supreme
court that testimony given by Sin
clair and Fall before the senate COM
mittee could not be used against them
tin the criminal trials unless such
testimony had been given voluntarily
The purpose cf calling both Ever
hart and Sinclair is to trace the
bonds which the government charges
Sinclair delivered or caused to be
delivered to Everhart for Fall as a
consideration in the transaction by
which the former interior secretary
leased the Teapot Dome naval oil
reserve TO the oil operator.
The committee will undertake to
uncover the disposition of all of the
three millions of dollars in profits
which the Continental company made
in the purchase Of oil from The Texas
fields of the late A. E. Humphreys
and it's resale to the Sinclair COM
pany, the Standard Oil Of Indiana
and other< companies,
In addition to Sinclair and Ever
hart, six other witnesses nave been
