Territory Is Urged To Aid Preservation Of Alaskan Relics
COLLEGE AUTHORITIES MAKE APPEAL TO PRESERVE THESE SPECIMENS FOR SCIENCE

SEWARD,-Through the neglect of Alaska itself, many priceless rel ics shedding light on the pre-histor ic record of Alaska are being nrted away from the country each year to various parts of the United States for museums and private collections, says the Seward Gateway. This is rapidly bringing about a condition when it will be an almost impos- sible task to assemble a complete record, in the opinion of Otto w. Geist, of the museum of the Alaska College. He has been deyoting some years of his life to an attempt to establish a comprehensive histOr- fcal exhibit at the college. MT. Geist spent two or three years in the Arctic collecting specimens Both he and President Charles E. Bunnell of the College used their private funds in this work. The Alaska Legislature has been slow to recognize the value of their eff fonts to properly back them with funds that will bring their labors to highest fruition.
 Take Them Away
 At the present time numerous scientific expeditions are yearly penetrating Alaska in search of treasures of incalculable scientific value. They spend thousands of dollars, not in Alaska, and not for the specimens, but for the outfit tings of the expeditions in the states. Much material is thus car ried away and scattered to the four winds. Most of them take nothing but the best, leaving the humber objects where they are. As rule such expeditions do not even finish their work, but dig up a mess and go, never to return.
 The time has come when Alas kans should awaken to the fact that Alaksa relics are worth much more to Alaska.
 Too Much Carried Away
 This work of collecting Alaskan relics was started by President Bun nell and l." the Seward Gateway quotes MT. Geist as saying, flor the simple reason that we thought too much valuable material was being carried out of Alaska every year We hoped that a check could be established on this vandalism and that at least some of the material might be preserved for future Alas kan generations.
 It is we'll to remind the Alaska public that the Alaska College at this time is we'll prepared to look into matters pertaining to anthro- pology, ethnology, paleontology and that it is not necessary to forward such valuable material to scattered museums outside the. territory

Mauling by a grizzly bean does pensation under the territorial com pensation act, according to a deeis- ion handed down by Judge Cecil H. Clegg, of the Fourth Division, and employers are not compelled to compensate employees who are in jured in such an unusual manner.
 The decision arose out of the case of Peter Jorgensen ys. the AL aska Consolidated Gold Company. Jorgensen was employed as a ditch tender when he was attacked and severely injured by bear. He paid his own hospital expenses and then Cemanded compensation under the provisions of the Alaska law. But Judge Clegg ruled that the injuries named in the complaint did not come within the provisions of the compensation act.
 The 34 muskoXen recently i'm ported from Greenland are waxing fat on native hay, alfalfa meal, and broom grass, in the 40-acre enclos- ure at the Alaska College. They were placed on the scales a short time ago and it was found that they were gaining half a pound day. This is Alaska's first attempt at 'domesticating the animals.
 There are no more wild musk-ox in Alaska, and very few in Canada. Tn 1900 it was estimated that there were more than a million in the northern regions aof the world, but the number is now placed at 11,000, of which 10000 are in Greenland and 1000 in northern Canada, most ly on the islands in the Arctic Ocean.
 History relates that the last known musk-ox in Alaska was kill ed by the Eskimos at O-ming-muik Creek, near Point Barrow, in 1865. There is a rumor that two French Canadians killed herd of fifteen or twenty near the head of the Col vile River in 1897. The domestica- tion of musk-exen is considered the greatest experiment in agriculture for Alaska.
