There was a lengthy report
from Moscow by William L. Foster

FISHERIES HEARING
 THURSDAY
LiifIe Change in ReguIa- lions Next Year Is
 Anticipated

Because there was good es- capement of salmon to the spawn ing grounds in 1940, the 1922 sea son in Southeast Alaska is expected to yield a normal catch to salmon canners and there will probably be little change in the fisheries reeulations for this district, accord ing to Seton Thompson, assistant chief of the Division of Alaska Fisheries. who arrived here this morning as a member of the fish cries party scheduled to hold hear ings on the proposed 1922 regula- tions in the District Court room of the Federal Building, beginning at 10 am. Thursday.
 Coming to Juneau following a hearing conducted in Sitka yester- day. the party is headed by pr. Ira Gabrielson, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, who will con- duct the hearing here. Also aboard the Fisheries boat Brant, which has been transporting the party in Southeast Alaska, was Doyle Tripp, reported.
 Purpose of the hearings, 1t WAS pointed out, will be to discuss changes in regulations for the 1922 season. All persons interested in the fisheries industry are invited to attend. All will be given an op- portunity to express their views and recommendations regarding regulations of the industry in 1942. In addition, they may also file briefs on their reports, which will be taken up in Washington, D. C., before the 1922 regulations are of- reporter.
 Opening and closing dates of fishing seasons in both the vest ern and eastern districts of Icy Straits will be discussed by Ga brielson, when he announces pro- posed seasons for 1922. Gabrielson will also outline any changes from the l941 regulations which it is anticipated may be put into effect next year.

NATIONAL F0REST5 HOUSE OVER TWO
 MILLION ANIMALS
WiIdIife Population Esti- mated to Be Worth
 St0O, ,O00, ,000

Big game animals on the National Forests of the United States. includ- ing Alaska. are now estimated at more than two million head, accord ing to the Forest Service, U. s. De- partment of Agriculture, in report ing on it's yearly game census on the National Forests of the country. It states that the big game population has increased from 693000 in 1924 to 2,100,000 at the beginning of 1941. In the Western States about three fourths of the big game make their home all or part of the year in the National Forests.
 While many of the States in the past few years have undertaken to hold down deer and elk populations on concentrated areas" the Forest Service says, there is no indication that a decrease in the total number of animals has occurred In fact, a nine per cent gain for the country as whole is recorded from 1940 to 1941. Tn many places hunting is not adequately harvesting the big game crop"
 The big game animals in the Ma tiona1 Forests include: Deer, 1,800, 900; elk, 154,00O; black bear, 63,000; antelope, 10000; mountain goat, 19,- 900; bighorn, 960O; moose, 7,500, and grizzly and Alaskan brown bear 4,800.
 Animal Value
 The Forest Service gives an ap- proximate value to the big game and wildlife and fish resources on the National Forests of Continental United States and Alaska at hun dred million dollars. It estimates that 714,O00 big game hunters and 302,000 small game hunters, 12,000 trappers and 2,636,000 fishermen used the Forests last year.
 Forest officers aided the States in planting PA million fish in the streams and lakes and ponds of the NdblOlldl FIJI CObo l6tot yCdl.
 Game refuges-of which the Ma tional Forests contain 677-are no longer considered a penacea for all problems of wildlife management, the Forest Service says. The atti- tude of State and Federal game of ficials is tending toward more flex- ible management. Hunting is used to keep game numbers in line with the feeding capacity of their ranges and the result is not only better and healthier animals, but increased human use of the asset.
 Too Many Animals
 Tt has been learned that increas- ing concentration of game animals is often the surest method of ex- terminating the population. Refuges offer protection from man, but usual ly offer no protection from predators or population or comeptition with other species. Bighorn, for ex- ample, are threatened in places by too dense deer, elk, mountain lion or coyote population. It is the pur- pose of scientific management to correct such conditions.
 'Wildlife management in the Ma tional Forests aims to provide a hab- fiat and environment that contrib utes most to the wellbeing of the game population"
