SALES OF FUR ANIMALS
 TO INVESTORS IS NOT
 PERMITTED IN MINNESOTA

Fur farmers of Minnesota cannot legally sell any fur-bearing animal for ranching on fur farms, even though the animal be segregated so that it's owner could identify it, according to a ruling from the state attorney general made public re- gently by the Game and Fish Com missioner, George w. Mccullough.
 Purchasers of fur-bearing anil mals have not been receiving fair returns on investments, MT. Me Cullough stated, as the contracts system used in the states has en- abled interruptions persons to mis- lead investors as to the returns, from their capital.
 Complaints received at his office, MT. Mccullough continued, state that certain buyers of fur-bearing animals were required to pay ranch ing fees amounting to almost the cost of the animals, and that they were unable to dispose of their holdings at a price that would re- imburse them for the ranching fee, to say nothing of their original in- Yestment.
 False statements concerning in- creases in animals providing reve- nue for both the purchaser and the rancher have been made in many instances, according to MT. Mo- Cullough's statement.

TOXIC -Pessimism temper d with hope and patience describes the Japanese attitude toward the London naval conference, which be- gins it's second week today. Pes simism plus suspicion of other pow CTS motives, especially those of America and Great Britain, are strongly reflected in newspaper comments. Eagerness to accept hopeful signs and a willingness to await patiently a slow solution or the problems listed in the confer ence agenda are largely the result of official efforts to guide public opinion.

ALASKA AND THE EAGLE

The Sentinel recently reprinted from the San Francisco Daily Chronicle a letter written by M. Ward McAllister, chairman of a committee for the preservation of wild life.
 The Anchorage Times in com menting on this letter says:
 "The Alaska eagle has a cham pion in the person of M. Ward Me- Allister, chairman of the committee for conservation of wild life, Cali fornia Academy of Science. The gentleman, who admits that his in- formation regarding the eagle situ ation was obtained from friends returning from their summer trips to Alaska" advances the argument that the eagle is principally fish eater and even if 1t does occasion ally get fox or a hundred foxes is no reason why it should be ex- terminated" And he expresses the hope that a rider attached to the bill now pending in congress, pro viding for the absolute protection of eagles along with other wild birds, will put a stop to the annual slaughter in Alaska. "The different things that the American people complaeently stand for" he com plains, in a communication appear ing in a recent issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, sometimes are beyond the bounds of reason. One of these is that the majestic bird, the American eagle, which years ago was adopted by the people of the United States as their national bird and placed on every coin, on many flags and on the great seal of the Republic, now, be- cause an occasional fox farmer in Alaska loses a fox or two, is put on the vermin list and not only de- stroyed as a pest but for bounty
 MT. McAllister is like most of the other conservation cranks who have sought to regulate the affairs of Alaska, from the days of Dr. Hornaday and Clifford Pinchot. Dr. Hornaday, without any first-hand information regarding conditions in the territory, frightened congress into believing, a score of years ago, that there were not more than b. 900 caribou in Alaska; and now this self-appointed champion of wild life would have the national law makers believe that all of the eagles have been shot off because "one marty. who went to Alaska and Brit ish Columbia in June and returned in September, reported that he saw A total of seven on the way north and coming south not single one.
 "Unfortunately for the fur farm CTS, for the wild sheep in the hllls' for the lambs in the sheep country to the westward, for the fish In the lakes. rivers and coastal waters, the predators which the uninformed Californian would protect, have not yet been wholly exterminated, and if he will come to the territory many years hence to make real study of the situation, as he should have done before he wrote his com munication, he will find them still a menace to the wild life upon which they prey And he also will find Alaskans still sticking to the task of killing them off, in spite of his propaganda in their defense. To use his own words the different things that the American people complacently stand for sometimes are quite beyond the bonds of req son. This is particularly true Of Alaskans. There does not seem to be a limit of endurance"
