PROTECT THE PHEAsANTs

Alaska, with it's upland birds con- fined to grouse and ptarmigan, may develop a specie of pheasant, adapt able to this region if experiments now being carried out by the Alaska Game Commission continue as sue- eessful as they have proven so far
 Last year, the Commission proCur- ed several varieties of pheasants and experimented with them at the ex- perimental station near Petersburg. Of the lot, the M0ngolian pheasant appeared to be the best suited for this region. The first hatch winter ed well last winter along the Mitkof highway out of Petersburg, accord ing to game officials, and this sea son a further trial Is being made.
 Arrangements were made with the Commission to bring 100 of the pheasants to Wrangell. Sponsored by the Stikine Sportsmen's s Association of Wrangell, the birds were brought over, penned until old enough to shift for themselves, and this week were released along the highway in the Wrangell Game Refuge. If they survive, and there Is every reason to believe they will adapt themselves to climatic conditions here, a few years ahead may see Southeast Alas ka hunters enjoying a new variety of upland bird shooting.
 There is, however. a danger to the birds more deadly than the weather. That is the thoughtless individual who Is promiscuous with the use of firearms. Man, as the records show, is always more dangerous to wild life than the weather. The Mongolian pheasants out in the game refuge probably can withstand the weather and find food to survive. But they cannot survive If they become tar gets for the guns of the hunters. That is why the Sportsmen's Associ-
The Wrangell sentinel., 1940-07-26

atIon is urging the cooperation of everyone tn refraining from the use of firearms on the game refuge, and to be particularly careful not to shoot the game birds.
 The Mongolians at the present time are not markedly different in ap- pearanee from the blue grouse. Full grown, they will be larger. But they will never get their growth if they become the target of shooters. Best policy is not to shoot in the game refuge. which is merely observing the law, and then there can be no question.
 With the cooperation of everyone, including boys with small bore ri- fles, this community can, in a few years, see pheasants all over Wran- gelI island. At Petersburg. the phea- sants are spreading out to the end of the Mitkof highway and often are seen by residents in their yards at the outskirts of town. That com munity is enthusiastic about pro- tecting them. Public opinion is on Cne side of the birds, with the rs suit that they thrive.
 Wrangell, we believe. will do lit- tie less.

MORE CANNED SALMON SALES IN THE STATES means more money for Alaska. And you people here can help in building your market for Canned Salmon.
 The Industry's advertising is infuenc- ing American women to bug Canned Sal- mon. More and more are serving it. But advertising alone cannot keep American housewives buying Canned Salmon willing to pay fair price for it. We must continue to please them with the quality of our product.
 And here Alaska people have real part in selling the Territory's major food product For the quality of Canned Salmon

loyalist who declared sHitier can never take Belgium. even when Mr. Hitler already was hanging the Nazi banner on Eiffel Tower in Paris.
 The Belgian was Btiu loyal So were the members of the Alaska democratic delegation to Chicago. It is simply a matter of what spot you happen to be in to view the situa- ten. The Republicans apparently knew what they were doing when they voted for Senator Taft after Mr. Willkie was assured nomination. Therefore, 1t must go unchallenged that the Democratic delegates knew what they were doing when they voted for Mr. Farley when 1t was the unanimous verdict of the con vention that President Roosevelt should be the nominee.
 If you read last weeks Sentinel (and who didn't), Alaska Delegate to Congress Anthony J. Dimond, who was a member of the Alaska dele gation at Chicago. explained the delegations position Good old Res ltuion No. 2 passed by the Terri trial convention in January explicit ly stated that the delegation was instructed to vote for Mr. Roosevelt if he was a candidate. At the be- ginning of the convention in Chica- go, the President, through Chair man Barkley, said he was not a candidate. Therefore, there was lit- tie else, if you want to be technical about this business, that the Alaska delegation could do except vote for the Alaska conventions second choice, who was MT. Farley.
 With due respect to the delega- tion, Messrs. Dimond. Oscar c. Ol- son, James v. Davis and Harvey J. Smith, and their able political abil- ity in diagnosing a difficult situa- ton at Chicago. we can't help think ing about that Belgian who insisted that Hitler couldn't take Belgium. We feel sure the delegation will forgive us for these fancies of the mind. After all, the Belgian was sluCeISi tOo.

 So, with the Philadelphia and Chicago shows over, and Alaska vot- CTS well knowing they can't vote for MT. Willkie or Mr Roosevelt even if they desired, Alaska being Ter ritory, it looks like they must be satisfied with being for or against territorial control of whiskey and sundry intoxicating beverages. Early indications are that the Republicans are going to be against territorial control, if Republican newspapers are criterion. While the Democrats, ever loyal to MT. Farley, haven't begun to make their position clear.
 Three papers, namely, the Ketchi- kan Fishing News, the Valdez Miner and the Alaska Press in Juneau, have come out fairly flat-footed a. gainst the Anderson referendum which asks an expression of the vot- CTS on the territorial control propos- ition. All three editors-Sid Charles,

is the responsibility of all you Alaska salmon workers. Fish must be moved swiftly from the water to the cans .. special care must be given to all in-be- tween steps. If we work together to protect the goodness of our pack we can assure U. s. women of QaIality-assure them that the Canned Salmon they get conforms to the highest standards of purity, freshness and nutritive value.
 Certainly Canned Salmon quality is a matter of pride. But more than that-it's 8 vital need if Canned Salmon is to keep and expand it's hold in American markets .. bring better times to all AIaskaI

FINE BALANCE. TOPS THOMPSON,
 DOLAN PROGRAM
DevOre-Sal Six ROunder Promising = MOffett
 Meets Miller

Balance, both in weights and abil- ity is the secret of good matchmak- ing which the Waterbury A. o. card scheduled for Thursday night, seems to have in abundance. There arc heavyweights, middleweights, well terweights and lightweights paired so skillfully from the known Qual- ities of the boxers concerned, that the show, topped by an eight round go featuring Irish Eddie Dolan of this city and Baby Jack Thompson of Albany, N. Y. should be "one for the book"
 There is something to look for ward to in every bout, from the standpoint of the gent who pays his way in, MT. John c. Fan. Maxie Katz of Waterbury, red-headed Jewish middleweight, yet to be beat en meets New Ravens clownish but hard-hitting Tony Gillo, who has beaten many foe thought to be much his superior. Tony throks 'em from the floor"-and often.
 Dula Kovach, Naugatuck 18O pounder and Johnny Coleman of New York meetin a six round heavy duel that may produce a K. O. the borough boy anxious to get back in the winning column after his last loss at Buckingham hall, which might have been won If he "went to work" Q little earlier.
 Best Fight?
 Johnny Devore, the Bridgeport lightweight and Kid Sal, the little Meriden man of muscle are down for a six ronuder that may "steal the show." It is the writer's selec- tion for best fight of the night" Both boys are fast, Devore very clever and both hard-hiSters who do not waste time "fooling around" Then again, there is little love lost between them, for they are natural rivals since their amater days, two years back.
 M0ffet Has Glass"
 If Nell Miller of Wilkes Barre Is as able as reported there is every reason to believe that Red Moffett of Devon will have fight on his hands, but If Miller is not a whale of a good welterweight, Moffett will drape him on the canvass as sure as Charley Mccarthy and Edgar Ber- gen are one and the same person. Sooner or later Moffett and Dick Turcotte will tangle with Dolan Ii. able to be matched with either or both of them.
 As for Dolan, he will be favored at about 2 to to take the nod from Thompson, cue to the latter,s show ing against Jackie Craven, yet the dusky battler from Walter Lynch,s favorite town was good enough to take Dick Turcotte twice and that Is no easy feat. Perhaps 1t is because, Thompson makes a speciality of beatinf southpaw battlers having decisioned l2 or IS of them in the past year, according to reports. (Do- Ian Is a soNthpaw, too, SO what?)
 Once again. Waterbury A. 0. of- ficials would like to have all patrons who have reserved tickets for the show call for them before 8 D. m, Thursday or cancel before that time, If necessarily. If such tickets are not called for they will be sold after 8 o'clock.

 With big squad including Krause. Chet Jaworsli, Rhode Is- land State high-scorer last season, Sol Netchem of B. U. and Fred Daly, a long. lean lad with the eye of an eagle and the guile of mon- goose. Jaworski's shooting was also revelation while Krause turned in some floor play, plus l3 points that easily stamped him every bit as good as he was cracked Up to be-" Dick Tuckey and Joe Joyce did yoeman work for the Liths, Fer rie and Boley aiding no little, while Joe Swasey did nice job guard- ing Kranse until he was lost on fouls.
 Score 25 Points
 Spotting the Litls 2 points in the second half the Good-Wins got go- ing. Jaworski being fed by Krause and the points started to pile up. Daly. Kane and Netchem also had n hand in the scoring and though the K of l. came within three points of tieing the count, fast hoop and free throw sewed up the game after time-out. It was 38-3l ut half time, K of L favor after which the Good Wins went II points ahead with Q % point third period.
