 It was Ford and MacBain who prophesied few years ago that regulations would have to come to save the Russian River and other streams from becoming barren of fish-and that prophecy has sud- denly become true.
 Tomorrow, weather permitting, Ford and MacBain will fly south on the Alaska Clipper.
 Still the same Ford and Mac Bain who every year find an ex- cuse to fish in Alaska, both agree that it would be swell if bad weather delayed the clipper and they could spend a day or so fish ing in the Juneau area-throWing back, unharmed, the fish they can not eat.

W!IDLiFE AGENT
 FORCE DOUBLED
 NEAR AIR BASES
Dufresne Says Newcomers
 Seem to Have Wrong Altitude on Game

The large increase in population at Anchorage and Fairbanks has made it necessary for the Alaska Game Commission to double it's force of Wildlife Agents in each locality for the time being, Executive Officer Frank Dufrense announced today.
 Dufresne, who returned yesterday from the Westward and Interior, said Wildlife Agents Grenold Col lins and Jack O'Connor are now stationed at Anchorage and Sam White and Clarence Rhode at Fair banks.
 Newcomers tend to be the worst game law offenders, largely through ignorance and the wrong attitude toward wildlife, Dufresne said. To many of the green workers ami mals exist only to be killed on sight, he said agents had found.
 Dufresne returned here on the vessel Brown Bear with his chief, Director Ira Gabrielson of the Fish and Wildlife Service, after travels on Bristol Bay and throughout the Westward and Interior.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. You can't. count your ducks until they're hatched-or in the bag-but shoot ing prospects definitely are winging higher for the 1940 duck hunter
 Uncle Sam's duck census takers say the migratory waterfowl pop ulation has jumped Is percent since last year. They figure roughly there are about 65.000,000 on the Ameri- can continent this year compared with some 570OO,000 in 1899.
 Furthermore, drought in west ern and northern regions didn't materialize as extensively as was feared in the spring. Water sup ply conditions are rated generally good in the breeding grounds.
 The number of waterfowl has doubled since population low of 30 to 32 million was reached in 1885 The duck comeback is att tributed to drastic action by the Federal government, with coop eration of the States, to prevent a threatened extinction and to better climatic conditions in the nesting grounds.
 Refuges Started
 Emergency funds were provid- ed by Congress and the sale of duck stamps was inaugurated in 1884 to finance the purchase and maintenance of waterfowl ref uges. Simultaneously, the Gov ernment and States frightened re- stricbions on duck hunting to cur tail the heavy annual slaughter
 Although the hunting season does not open in most regions un- til October the 1940 duck stamps are on sale now at postoffices throughout the country. The stamps which must be purchased by all migratory waterfowl hunters more than 16 years old, cost $1 These are ill addition, of course, to state licenses.
 The sale of these stamps dropped from 635,000 in 1884 tc AS 900 in 1935 but has increased since then to more than 100000 year. The number of national wildlite refuges has been in- creased from l02 to 260, more than half of these areas being primarily for migratory water fowl.
 Increases Not Uniform
 The Fish and Wildlife Service formerly the Biological Survey) reports a marked lack of uniform ity in the percentage of duck in- crease this year in the four majoi 'flyways,p As in the past the At lantic and Mississippi Always in- cluded most of the waterfowl The Central Flyway showed 6 large decrease in all waterfowl while the status of birds in the Pacific flyway remained almost at the 1889 level.
 Here's a brief summary of the comeback status of various spe- cies:
 The mallard and pintai are making the best recovery among the various species of ducks.
 Black ducks show a slight de- crease, which may be more ap- parent than real
 Canada geese population is greater than last year but in- crease is not so large as expected (May reflect excessive slaughter in one or two areas.)
 Canvasbacks have increased sat isfactorily, blue and snow geese have increased considerably and whistling swans have suffered a slight reduction.
