EAGLES AND TIE ALASKAN BOUNTY BY DR. PEARSON
MONTHLY OBLIGATION BIRD LORE" IA LENGTHY ARTi-
 GLE

Numerous A.askans had the plea Gilbert Pearson, president of The Au dubon Societies New York City. pr. Pearson is the most rct d ornithologisi l4 SV <tates, if not the world. He 's' Ger and president of the Internationa, Com mittee for Bird Protection; a member of Cosmo, Camp Fire, and Explorers Clubs, and an author of international repute on bird-life. He was one of the most outstanding of the many prominent visitors to the Territory last year and that he devoted practi- cally all of his time to his choosen work is seen by the accompanying article which appeared in the Febru- ary number of Bird-Lore, the official publication Of the society devoted to the study and protection of birds.
 Dr. Gilbert's article is of some length but covers the subject in a way nevef before described. The Gateway takes keen pleasure in pre- senting the article in it's entirety to is readers.
 The article:
 On August 4, 1927, the writer was hospitably received by Karl Thiel, Sec retary of Alaska From the files in his office in Juneau, he prepared for me statement showing that up to date the Territory of Alaska had paid bounties on 4O,753 eagles.
 A law providing for bounty of this nature was enacted by the Territory of Alaska in 1917. The reward at first was 50 cents for each eagle whose feet were delivered to the pro- per official at Juneau. The Legis1a- ture of 1923 raised the bounty to $1 per bird. Appropriations for this pur- pose have been made by the Legisla- ture as follows; 1917, $7,5OO; 1919, $5,- 900; 1921, s2,5Oo; 1923, sS,ooo; 1925, s3o,ooo; 1927, $12,5oo.
 Of the sum appropriated in 1925, s1O,OO0 was to meet the deficit in cured in paying bounties the year before.
 The fact that Alaska provides a bounty on eagles first became gener- ally known to the people of the United States when in this department of the issue of Bird-Lore for January y-Febru- ary, 1919, attention was called to the matter and the bounty law was pub- lished in full. Since that date there have appeared in Bird-Lore and the press of the country, from time to time, articles on the subject, and feeling of sorrow and resentment has been voiced by many people that1Alas- ka should seek to have killed the bird which is the emblem of our nation.
 One hears statements that, under the systematic killing of eagles, the bird has been driven to the verge of
