MAIL RULING
 IS PROTESTED
 AT KETCHIKAN
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

Refusal of the post office depart ment to permit Alaskans to send mail on the Northland Transpor- tation company boats, even by courtesy of the line. drew a pro- test from the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce recently. The chamber voted to draw up resolution pro- testing the decision and seeking . change in the ruling or otherwise allowing the Northland line to carry mail. The resolution will be voted on at the next meeting.
 Discussion at the meeting also brought out the fact that on some occasions mail at the post office closes many hours before boats sail, and because of confusion as to local rulings it was suggested that the whole matter of handling mail here be gone into.
 It was pointed out that uncer- tainty as to the handling of out going mail causes many people to prefer leaving letters with the transportation companies rather than risk delay by depositing them in the post office after office hours.
 The Northland line carried first and second class mail during the winter by special contract with

Budd Marter, Bear Hunter, Is Strong Booster for
 Conservation

E. Budd Marter, who arrived in Juneau with his father, Walter Mar ter, and his brother, Kirkland Mar ter on the Princess Louise, for a two weeks bear hunt in the Juneau area, has a soft spot in his heart for the craft on which he arrived.
 It is the first time since 1922 that Budd Marter has been in Juneau. but Marter remembers 1t well, for the trip was on the Princess Louise then as it was yesterday, and it was on that first trip that Marter met his wife. Both were making the Southeast Alaska tour.
 T had to leave her back home for this trip" Marter laughed last night in conversation in the lobby of the Gastineau Hotel Her hobby is horseback riding and mine is hunt ing and fishing"
 Marter, whose home is in New Jersey where he is general manager of Archer Midland-Daniels, vegc- table oils, is prominent in the East in conservation circles. A delegate from New Jersey to Washington for the National Wildlife Federation, he is firm rl his belief that "sportsmen must organize"
 We've got priceless heritage in game and fish, but we can't pro- tect it from politicians without or ganization The politicians under stand only one language and that is votes If the sportsmen are well enough organized, we can save what we're going to lose if we don't"
 Marter urged Alaskans to keep a wary eye peeled on the way this country's game is going"
 With the airplane and new high ways, you'll be surprised how fast game can go" Marter said.
 The three Marters were to leave today on their bear hunting trip aboard Capt. Tom Smiths Yakobi. It is their second big game hunt on the Pacific Coast. Tn 1929 they hunt ed in the Cassiar District.
 Guides accompanying them are V. P. Williams, Oscar Waterude and Howard Mckinney.
