FUR CATCH WAS
WORTH $1,91o,111
Better than Average Year,
Despite Poor Prices,
Is Reported

/ During the calendar year OF 1888
the value of furs shipped from Al
aska totaled $1,910,lll.21, it was an
nounced today by the Alaska Game
Commission.
This amount is $48,07394 less than
for the previous year, due to general
decline in value of the various pelts.
The price of red fox dropped from
1925 to $3.50. Mink declined from
S11, so to $9.75 Blue fox was off from
$26.50 to $23 There was slight
increase in the values of lynx. beav-
er. muskrat and marten pelts but
not enough to offset the general
slump which took place in the
worlds fur market.
From a conservation standpoint,
the game commission n oted a
healthy condition in that the num-
Der of all kinds of pelts shipped
from the Territory was the largest
! for several years, grand total OF
| 554,725 peltries as against 423,ll5
peltries for the previous calendar

Good Rat Catch
The muskrat catch increased from
291, lao in 1888 to Alt, 442 in 1889.
Shipments of mink pelts increased
from 1896 in 1888 to 42,883 in 1888.
Red and cross fox shipments were
up from 1882 in 1888 to 1854 in

Another important gain was made
in the Arctic white foxes which

F. {. {. 10 Hear Claim
Of City TO Prior Right
On Radio Channel
La Guurdio's Contention
Against Minneapolis
Stution to Be Aired
By WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

The claim of a municipality to
have a paramount right to radio
broadcast facilities already used by
a commercial station will be pre-
sented to the Federal Communica-
tions Commission at public hear
ing on Monday. The claimant is
the City of New York, while on the
other side is radio station WCCO
at Minneapolis, owned and operated
by the Columbia Broedcasting Sys-
tenn. The Minneapolis station is
being supported by the State OF
Minnesota.
The case confronts the commits
sion with the necessity of deciding
the contention of the City of New
York, through Mayor La Guardia,
that in view of the fact that the
radio spectrum is owned by the
people, then governmental agencies
should be given prior right to them
If and when they want them. Under
this theory, if sustained, it was
pointed out. a municipality could
come in and take the facilities of
commercial station which had built
up large clientele through good
programs at no expense to the pub
lie. But the expense of the mu-
nicipal station would be charge
on the taxpayers as would be the
cost of programming, whether good
or bad.
The city of New York now has a
station. WNYC, whicn operates only
-1,,r;,,o do1,1irbt I,o,,r- clocino IL, tho
evening at the time of sunset at
Minneapolis, where WCCO is located.
It is on the same channel with this
station, and now wants to broadcast
nightly until II o'clock. WCCO and
Columbia, as we'll as the State of
Minnesota, are contesting this be-
cause of the interference it will give
to the Minneapolis station.
Mayor La Guardia contends that
radio broadcasting is just as much
part of government as a department
of education. police departments, fire
departments and the like. There
fore, he said governments, city, State
or national, should have the right to
facilities when they want them. He
has informed the commission that
vice president of the Columbia Sys-
tenn called on him and said what it
would permit the city to do in using
its station beyond the hours now
allocated. He reported that Colum-
bias officer had Informed him that
1t could not permit the city to 60
over to full time. but might allow it
to have an hour or two once in
while.
The Mayor told the commission
that this was outrageous arro-
gance," adding that the chain
needed "a good dressing down, and
the quicker the better" He charac-
terized the intervention of the State
of Minnesota in the case as Just
window dressing"
However, it was pointed out that
what Columbia was doing in making
q proposition to the Mayor was in
conformity with the rules of the
commission, which requires that
stations sharing time on a fire.
quency must have the permission
of the dominant station for anv
extra time on the air. In this case
WCCO is the dominant station.
