Bears Protected in Vast Territory in Alaska

Alaskan bears have the benefit of
protection on three types of sanctu-
aries-refuges established by execu-
tive orders, closed areas under
game law regulations and national
parks and monuments.
Mount Mckinley National park
and Katmai and Glacier Bay Nation
al monuments, where all wild life is
protected, provide the bears with
more than 100000 acres of safe
range-1, 1886, 493 acres on Mount Nc
Kinley, 2,697,59 on Katmai and
1,164,8OO on Glacier bay.
The Aleutian islands bird refuge
includes the 998, OOO-acre Unimak is
land where bears occur and share
the protection given all wild life.
Through an executive order, bears
share with elk the protection af-
forded by the 448,000 acres of Afog-
max island.
Regulations under the Alaska
game law prevent bear hunting on
eight additional areas, totaling more
than $4,000 acres. An area of
over 1,222,000 acres contiguous to
Glacier Bay National monument and
two areas on Admiralty with COM
bined acreage of nearly $4,000 acres
have been closed to bear hunting.
The Admiralty island areas, Thay-
er mountain and Pack creek, in
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1939-09-21

clude 38,400 and 13,44O acres, re-
spectively. Five other areas, with
an aggregate acreage of &C, $50, have
been closed to all hunting. The COM
monty used names for these areas
and their acreage are as follows:
Eyak lake, 21,760; Mendenhall lake,
5,120; Alaska railroad, 24,96O; Key
stone canyon, 4,48O, and Big Delta,
1920.
Regulations under the Alaska
game law protect the bears in other
parts of the territory where hunt
ing is of any consequence. No hunt
ing is permitted anywhere through
out the summer season, and during
about FIVE months of the open hunt
ing season the bears are hibernat-
ing. The bag limit for large brown
and grizzly bears is two year, ex-
cept on Admiralty island where a
limit of one has been made to in
duce nonresident hunters to visit
other areas. Sale of bear hides is
prohibited, regulation that is con-
sidered as one outstanding factor
which has permitted an increase in
the large brown and grizzly bears.
Since this restriction was placed
in effect, when the original Alaska
game law was passed in 1925, there
has been perceptible change for,
the better in the brown and grizzly
bear population.

How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless

The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,

He sang as if he were alone in
some vast arched space, beneath
spires that reached towards Heaven,
behind some grille that separated
him from the world.
And now it seemed to him that he
sang not to that crowd of upturned
faces, not to those men and women

others who pressed close-his COM

at the fire.
Lucy looked at her curiously. "A

Edith nodded. "Do you like fairy
tales? Well, once there was prin-
cess. And a page came and sang
under her window" The fire purred
and cracked. "And the princess

So up they went, with the per-

through the tube to the pantry.
"Miss Towne wants luncheon for

Little Lucy had never seen such
a room as the one to which Edith
led her. The whole house was, in
deed, dream palace. Yet it was
the atmosphere with which her low

had feeling almost of panic. What
would she do with maid like Alice,
who was helping Josephine set up

cloth, bring in the hot silver dishes?

Lucy's fair cheeks were flushed.
