new GAME Law PROVIDES INCREASED
PROTECTION ALASKA BROWN BEAR

Revised regulations under the AL
aska Game Law recently promul-
gated by Secretary of Agriculture,
Arthur NJ Hyde, effective July l,
1882, will provide an additional
measure of protection for the large
brown bears of Alaska. This will
be accomplished by extending the
areas in which resident of the
Territory is limited to an annual
bag of two animals and by grant
ing complete protection for these
bears on Afognak Island. The sew
eral varieties of the big brown
bears of Alaska are the largest
carnivores of the continent and for
many years these animals have
been much sought as trophies by
big game hunters throughout the
world. The following statement re-
garding the protection of these
bears has been made by the Alaska
Game Commission through its Ex-
ecutive officer, H. W. Terhune, of
juneau, Alaska, the Representative
of the Bureau of Biological Survey
on the Commission:
During the past few years and
particularly during the last year
much has been written about the
big brown bears of Alaska by con-
servationists and sportsmen who
have visited the Territory for com
paratively short periods. Many of
the articles regarding the life his
tory and habits of the bears are of
great interest and value to stu
dents of nature while others ap-
pear to have been more or less sem
sational or in the nature of prop
uganda. The Alaska Game Com
mission considers that the Alaskan
brown bears have had sufficient
protection during the recent sea-
sons and are not in any danger of
determination, but in view of the
fact that SO much attention has
been focused on these unique ami
mails during the past year and to
give them benefit of any possible
doubt the Commission recommended
the added protection afforded these
bears by the new regulations.
To correct the many unauthor-
lied statements that have appeared
regarding the measure of protection
now being afforded these noble ami
mails throughout the estimated
96,363 square miles of coastal and
islands comprising their range, the
following information and figures
have been compiled from the reg
ulations and official records of
the Alaska Game Commission:
Areas where large brown bears
have complete protection consist of
1884 square miles, or per cent of
the total range, and include Glacier
Bay and Katmai National Monu-
ments, Unimak Island, which lies

Alaska Is Port
OF Missing Men

| The Alaska press puDllsneS IRE
quent notices under the title of
| Missing Men" or Port of Missing
Men" From all over the world
come inquiries concerning the
whereabouts of men who were last
heard from in Alaska or northern
British Columbia.
These inquiries are usually ad-
dressed to the Governor of Alaska
and through the publicity of news
papers, men long away, again es-
tabIish contact with home and
kindred. The Salvation Army also
serves to locate men and Staff-Cap-
tain Acton of Wrangell, Divisional
commander for Alaska and northern
B. c. in c a II d a receives an
average of three inquiries a week.
The Army in Canada West and AL
aska have frequently located as
high as sixty men in one month.
Descriptions of men missing are
prosaic: SO many feet tall, SO many
years old, color of eyes and hair,
etc. But there is nothing prosaic
in the days and nights of anxiety
suffered by a mother who does not
know what has become of her child.
For if a man is fifty years old he
is still child to his mother. Scores
of these men are not missing. They
have simply grown careless about
| writing home.
The Sentinel this week has re-
ceived inquiries regarding the fol-
lowing men supposed to be in AL
aska:
Walter H. Tessman-known as
James H Smith-Walter H. Tess
man was drafted into the Army in
the World War under the name of
James H. Smith. He was in France
and after the war returned to the
States and later went to Alaska. He
| is about 3S years of age. 1t is
rumored that a man by the name of
James H. Smith was burned to
death in a shack somewhere in AL
aska about six or seven years ago.
William Thomas Shaw-He is
about 5 it. s in. in height; has a
slight limp due to childhood &C
cident; last heard of him he was
following the mechanics trade: is
about As years of age.
Froy Burks-Twenty-nine years
of age; last heard from five years
ago at Yes Bay via Ketchikan. At
that time he mentioned that he
would be trapping in that vicinity.
s. F. Smith-Last known address
was False Pass, Alaska.
Any one having any information
about the above persons. please
communicate with the Governors
Office, Juneau, Alaska.
Staff-Captain Acton of the Sal
walton Army has been asked to try
to locate Mr.. Anton Edward Nilsen,
alias Anton Nelson. Birthplace,
Hiteren, Norway on February 5,
1874. Average height, fair hair,

1903, from Wrangell. Information
regarding the whereabouts of Mr..
