 hat it was no disgrace to run, 50 it came full speed toward its master. Passing within a few eeet from the men it kept going. The men were unarmed save for sidearms which MT. Dawes had opposing safely in his pack. The bear chased the dog away from
 he cubs then turned it's atten

 q shots it was close close

The proposed Alaska game law before congress was under consideration before that body he End of June and after a brief discussion of some of its featurec it was carried over without pre- jddice. It is believed that the hill will not be given any further consideration this session.
 The feature of this bill that AlaSkans object to is the para graph which would permit em- ployees of the Game Commis- sion to search any boat Or resi- dence without search warrant.
 The Wardens on occasion have made themselves promiscuously obnoxious by their illegal entry and search of camps, boats and residences and this bill would have legalized their highhanded holdups.

Outline of Canadian
 Fish Legislation

The British Columbia Govern ment's long awaited fisheries legislation, following it's victory in it's dispute with the Dominion over the right to control canner- ies, has now been approved, after being placed before the Legisla- ture at it's last sitting by Hon. s L. Howe, Commissioner of Fish cries.
 As foreshadoWed, after the united protests of fishermen anG independent canners at the long series of hearings by the HOuSt Fisheries Committee, the bill makes no attempt to control fishermen either in respect to districts or of gear. It confines itself entirely to the licensing and control of canncrieS, dog fish, pilchard and whale reduc- Cion plants, and herring and sal mon dry salterieS.
 An important safeguard con- corning the fishermen, however, is provided by the provision foI the establishment of an arbitra Jion board in cases of dispute over prices paid for tlSh by cul, neries. The board will consis of one government appointec one nominated by the fishermen and one by cannery interests The boards decision will apply not only to the price of fish, but to the period in which the price will continue.
 The bill makes no mention O1 the amount of the license fee u be collected from cannerS, leav- ing that to the discretion of the government. Licenses will eX pire annually on March 3l Q each year and may be revoked by the government. Provision is made for a hearing by the Fisheries Commissioner if ar operator objects to cancellation of his license. License holder will be required to keep records Of their operations in regard to catch and output.

per care of the young pups, As a direct result of their ignor- ance, it is quite safe to say that fully one-half of the fox pups born on the islands during the past ten years have been lost. And on those that were saved, they have not realized what they should, partly because of matted pelts and partly because of Oth- CT troubles which, theoretically, they should be able to control In ether words, their experience has taught them what the questions are that they need and want an swered. There are many points on which they are in need of ac- curate, dependable information. Some individuals have done more or less experimenting but have remained in doubt of their findings because they cannot be sure of all the factors that have contributed to the results that have been achieved. As indi- vidualS they cannot afford to eX
 periment--neither can they af
 ford not to. In view of the num- Der of people engaged and the amount of money invested 1t seemed the logical thing for the Territory to encourage the indus try in the same way as farming and stock raising are encouraged in the agricultural states for fur farming can be made to mean to this Territory just what any oth- CT live stock industry would mean. >.>
 So when the Territory provid- ed an expert to solve these prob lems, he (the expert Dr. Graves) was hailed as a Moses who would lead the fur farmers out of their bondage of ignorance. They were ready to listen to any man who knew more than they did. But they were soon disalusioned. Our money ($32.5Oo) is gone. Three more years have slipped into the irredeemable past and

Shall Aid in the Development
 or the Fur Industry
An Editorial

In 1927, the Territorial LegiS- lature passed a measure pro- Tiding for the employment by the Governor of a veterinarian The law specified that his duties should be to visit the fur farms of the Territory, study the prob Jems incident to the commercial raising of fur and to advise the Iur farmers in matters pertain ing to the breeding and care of TUT bearing animals and the pre- vention and cure of diseases thereof. An appropriation of $15,000 was made at that time (1927) to cover the expense ot employing this expert, with the proviso that $500 of the appro- priation should be available for furnishing printed matter to the fur farmers on the subject of diseases of fur bearing animals If any such printed matter has been prepared, we have not seen any of it.
 In 1929, the Legislature made q further appropriation of ST., 500 for maintaining the work of the veterinarian (making a to- tai of $32,5OO which has been taken from the Territorial treas ury.)
 Now, just what have we gotten for our money. The fur farmers themselves, have been paying a very costly tuition in the uni Iersity of experience. Through cut the eight or ten years that most of the fox farmers have been in the game, they have paid oearly in time, in wasted effort, and in livestock, for their ignor- ance. In the beginning they knew next to nothing of the na- t11ro and habitc Of tho aniY,1 o Ic, they were trying to produce. They knew very little of diseas- es, parasites, pelting, or market ing, and nothing whatever of feeding methods and care of the animals before, during and after the breeding season or the pro
