this seems to be a time-taking pro-
cess that may make it impossible for
some of the eanneries to operate.
Mr.. Brueger today expressed
doubt that Burnett Inlet would OPP
crate unless the offer were accepted
within two or three days as prepar-
ations could not be made later than
that in the short time before the
canning season opens.
Even if the offer should be ac-
cepted by the seiners, said Mr.. Hale
on his return, "it does not neeess-
arily follow that our cannery will
run. We will have to figure then
if we can pack on that basis for a
$1.10 market"
Stocks of pink salmon, Mr.. Hale
pointed out are well cleaned out,
though there are plenty of reds held
over unsold from last season. IF the
market stiffens," he said, we can
pull out on u cent fish, but we
have no assurance the market will
hold, much less improve"

Supt. Beck Tells OF Advantages
Petersburg Game Reserve

above, most of the boys who hunt
and all the boys here hunt-go
farther away for their hunting.
| am sure that there is no in
fraction of the law by boys in
school. This reserve goes one mile
inland-It would have been much
better if it had gone inland to the
summit of the mountains then there
would have been no question as to
where the boundary lies. Some sus-
pect that there has been hunting
on the reserve but those that have
crossed the reserve to hunt claim
that they have gone at least a mile
before hunting. The only case of in
fraction that | know of was friend
of mine that was hunting ducks
he came in from the south side and
got on the reserve without knowing
it--he found some very good shoot
ing, in fact he got the limit before
he was ready to quit shooting. La
ter he told me about that good spot
and we looked it up on the chart
and found that it was in the reserve
much to his surprise.
The people are all in favor of the
reserve and l am sure that if it
were opened the majority of people
would be heard from.
Very truly yours,
Geo. V. Beck.

Petersburg, Alaska
May 4, 1893
Mr. F. G. Hanford
Wrangell, Alaska
Dear Mr. Hanford:
In reply to your letter of May
1, l am glad to answer your ques-
tions to the best of my ability.
The game reserve at Petersburg
is a success. Since the reserve was
established deer in the vicinity of
Petersburg have multiplied notice
ably. One can see deer along the
Mitkof Highway most any time
Even the grouse are more plentiful
The school faculty approves of the
reserve 100 percent although there
were some (including myself) who
did not approve of it at the time the
reserve was made. We can see the
results now.
1t meets the approval ofthe chill
dren also. There is a portion of the
island SOUTHEAST of town where the
boys can hunt in the fall. However
most of the boys go hunting by boat
farther from town.
We have had several lectures and
talks on Wild Life in our school
this year and for several years in
the past. We have had talks by Earl
N. dinner, Chairman of the Game
Commission, H. Sarber, Alaska Wild
Life Agent, Frank Dufresne, Alaska
Game Commission, Dr. Lotus, Uni
versity of Alaska and Others We
found these men all very willing to
give talks to the students and l am
sure that the students profited by
the talks.
The older boys in the school all
favor the reserve as they see where
the surplus animals will soon be
feeding the territory adjacent and
make better hunting AS stated |
