The Chamber Of Commerce voted 'tt It's noon luncheon at the Mran- gel Hotel last Monday, to ask tine 5lological Survey if some wey could be devised whereby deer skins. now wasted could be sold in outside markets.
 It was pointed out by W. c. waters that the law designed, prob ably 20 years ago, to put a stop 10 the practice of hunting deer for the market. made it illegal to ship a deer skin out of the territory .or safe. The skins are now worth one dollar apiece but instead of being utilized are found floating around in the bay or stranded along the beaches. The vote on the question was not unanimous as some or the members feared it would result in the destruction of deer for the hides though others scoffed at the idea of any man being tempted to hunt and skin a deer taken illegally for the dollar ANo SAAAA dS nO1 lAs II was SIdLEQ that that should way be found to make the sale of skins legal, with out jeopardizing the deer herds, several thousand dollars would be added annually to the earnings of 10th white and native residents, rom skins that are now thrown away.
 Down Timber
 Secretary James Nolan reported that a U. S. Forest official had given the Chamber permission to delegate a man of it's choice with authority to look after the down timber on the Shoemaker Bay road and Rainbow Falls trail and make 1t available to cutting for home use.
 At a previous meeting, the at tention of the Chamber was called to the fact that there were num- bers of down trees on the road which were wanted by men not in the wood business, for home use, but under existing regulations the tree could not be taken ex- cept by permission of a forest ranger.
 pr. R. M. Scruby. president of the Chamber, appointed H. Kettle ton, maintenance foreman at Wrangell for the United States Bureau of Public Roads, to act for the Chamber. Men wishing this down timber should apply to Mir. Nettleton who will indicate the trees each one may have.
 Hunting Preserve
 The suitability of Zarembo Is land for a hunting preserve was brought to the attention of the Chamber. It is shaped like plate with few inlets running into the island. No one lives on it nor is it valuable for any naturalization. There is nothing to interfere with making it into a hunting preserve and it has every natural advantage for such a project.
 Members discussed the practica- bility of stocking tre island with brown bear and more deer. When non-hunter inquired if the brown bear would not destroy the deer, 1t was pointed out that nowhere do deer flourish in greater numbers than on Admiralty Island where brown bear abound.
 Making a hunting preserve out of Zarembo Island would be done with the thought of encouraging parties from the States to come here for their hunting. Aid in the furtherance of this project will be asked of various Federal officials and agencies.
 Trail Extension
 After discussion the Chamber voted to ask the U. S. Forest Sery- ice to extend the Rainbow Falls trail up the creek to take in the view of fifteen or twenty good sized falls forming beautiful cascade about a mile up the creek beyond Rainbow Falls. The Cham Der last summer spent approxi- mately $25O to build the trail from the Shoemaker Bay road to the falls. It was reported that the trail was obstructed near the road by trees which were felled when the power line was built to the Indian Industrial School These trees are expected to be removed soon by wood cutters applying to MT. Nettleton for permission to take out the down timber.
