Felton has had over 100 head of cattle killed by bear. This may be a small percent to Rhode.
 Frank Dufresne, on edi- torial staff of Field & Stream, wrote the publicity article for Rhode in the June issue, la menting the fact that Rhode could not COW" MT. Shuman into suppressing the results of a survey on the number of fish killed by bear.
 According to the papers, Rhode claims we are trying to Sacrifice Alaska's most fa- nous big game animals" " In 1912 there were brown bear Sanctuaries in Alaska with a total area of 13, 416 square miles where no hunting is permitted. According to Du- fresne that area was adequ- ate. This means over 8 mil lion acres. All of Kodiak ls- land is about F million acres and there are none of these sanctuaries on it. Further, according to Dufresne the brown bear ranges over more than 128 million acres in A. laska. What does Rhode want? /? He certainly is a glutton for land to begrudge the few acres in Alaska that are well suited for ranching and farm ing.

Magazines Hits Bear Issue

The recent Kodiak Island bear vs livestock feud is aired in the November December issue of the Audubon Maga- zine, in all article by Dr. Ira Gabrielson, former director of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 The author of the article sides very definitely with the bear guides and says that If it comes to a choice between killing off the bears and try ing to develop the or timlst- ically estimated herd of B. 800 cattle, it is my belief that this country ought to set aside the entire island to preserve the Kodiak bears. "
 Gabrielson adus that the loss of the small potential meat production will never seriously interfere with the we'll being of Americans"
 Dr. Gabrielson reviews the arguments of the livestock growers and the Guides As sociation regarding the re- moval of all protection on the bears and reports that this Kodiak bear-livestock contro- versy has always fared from time to time; bears are al- ways blamed time to time; bears are always blamed for the death of any livestock, regardless of the facts. "
 He points out that the resi- dents of Kodiak Island are there of their own volltion.. know that the bears are pro- tected by special withdrawal which prevents homesteading within the area of the bear refuge. Anyone venturing ln- to the livestock business should be aware of this fact.
 Out of the controversy, Dr. Gabrielson draws a comment regarding statehood. The fact that the Alaskan Legis- lature could be induced to pass a resolution to remove all protection from Kodiak bears at the demand of the owner of a few dozen cattle makes one seriously question whether or not Alaska is as nearly ready for self-govern- ment as the propaganda com- ing out of that territory might lead us to believe. v

and other Wildlife.

Wildlife Service agent, was assigned to Kodiak Island dur ing the period May 1, 1851 to July 1, 1851 to start the bear cattle study. He was assisted in the preliminary work by Paul Ghapados and Stephen Dunk, Kodiak Refuge person nel. This study is continuing under the leadership of Rus sell Hoffman, Assistant Ref uge Manager. Though the time spent by Burkholder is too short in which to arrive at any definite con 'lusions and the study is still in the prelim- mary stage, due to the wide interest in this problem, the following information is being released"
 s] Clarence J. Rhode
 ''The field work was confn- ed largely to the Chiniak Peninsula, which is an area outside the refuge boundaries and one being utilized largely for the grazing of livestock. A start was made to study the ranching potential and bear cattle relationship for the purpose of evaluating range conditions weather effects, and other factors that might conceivably affect predation during the critical spring season. The need for control measures to protect the live stock operators from losses due to stock-killing bear were to be determined. Burkhold- CTS report described the de- velopement of the Kodiak livestock operation on the Chiniak Peninsula from it's small beginning in 1882 to the present time, which finds two ranchers each running more than 100 head of cattle. He pictures the cattlemen as a hard-working group, putting in long hours in the saddle in looking after their cattle. Over-utilization of parts of the range - particularly in the critical winter range - was noted and this was attributed to the necessity of confning or holding stock to those more open areas for fear of losses from bear should the cattle move into the higher and more brushy parts of their He points out that the cattle observed were in good condition at this time of the year and that the ranchers carried on supplemental feed ing from around March l to the middle of May.
 Besides losses attributed to bears, the ranchers report loss of animals from falling over cliffs, winter kill, slip ping on ice, drowning, natural causes, poisonous plants, drinking motor oil and de- formed calves it was necessary to kill. During the first half of 1851 the Chiniak ranchers reported losing IT head of

Letter To Editor
Dear Editor:
Jan. 29, 1852

some political work around town recently about the bear situation in this area. I would like to make a few comments on that subject and the Wild life Service. For the interest ot those people who voted at last years meeting to take the protectio1 off brown bear in this area, 1 would like to pre- sent some of the results of that action,
 As you know both houses of the Territorial legislature passed a Memorial to Congress recommending an open season in this area because of the depreciation of cattle, Accord ing to the papers, Clarence Rhode states that the Memor- ial was only a Prayer" to Federal and Game officials. Apparently Rhode had more influence with the all-powerful rulers back in Washington than the Prayers" of the people of Alaska.
 However, when Bob Burk- holder, Asst. District Agent Mammal Control at Palmer, arrived here on May End, we were told by Paul Chapados that he wasn't supposed to kill the bear but to count the cattle the bear killed. After several head of Tom Felton's cattle had been killed by bear, Burkholder ordered some larg- CT shells for his "set-guns" to place around the carcasses and was then told he would not be permitted to use them here. Evidently these bear were do- ing such a good job killing cattle, the Wildlife Service did net want to lose any of them; so when Burkholder killed four bears they took him into Kodiak and put him to killing rats.
 We tried for several months to obtain a copy of Burkhold- CTS report. There must be some things in this report that the powers-that-be do not like. Last spring, 1 asked Maurice w. Kelly, Mammal Control Supervisor. if this was to be another fxed-up af- fair like the ''Hosia Sarber report" " and he assured me it was not.
 After putting all the pres sure that we could on Rhode, we received the following let ter from him, under date of Nov. 29, 1851, it being con- ments on Burkholder's report and rather misleading in them selves alone: "The Kodiak | bear cattle problem has re- celved national attention dur ing the past year, primarily l because of the proposal by the Kodiak Cattlemen's Associa- tion to remove all protection for the bear. The bear-cattle i problem is one part of a study of the bear being conducted by the Fish and Wildllfe Ser vice. Other parts include the

showing vegetation. Two other bear were killed in the area during the period, one by Naval Base personnel and the other by one of the ranchers. Bear probation when a. piled to the total number of cattle grazed on Chiniak
 Peninsula was small, being but 2%. However, 9 of the 10| head of cattle lost were owned by one rancher and this loss occurred during a two-month perlod, and amounted toI slightly over half of his loss
 from all other causes.
 Rhode gives the Wildlife Service duties and responsib- ilities. It is obviously their duty to enforce the law, but certainly it is not their duty to make the laws. Is it MT. Rhodes duty to try to misin-
 form the public as he did in the Territorial Legislature
 last winter when he testified
 to the small damage the bear
 were doing here even after we had sent him testimony of the large losses we had had, many of which were verified
 by his own agent here?
 Rhode states, "A start was made to study the ranching
 potentiaP'. The Government
 already has reports from other
 Bureaus by men specially
 trained to make such studies, whereas Rhode and the Wild life Service are not. The Fish and Wildlife Service seems to concern themselves with the operation of private industry.
 The question of judgment and
 propriety of ranchers who , have invested their own money and efforts toward stocking and developing the area that the Bureau of Land Management has declared suitable for ranching pur- poses, and has seen fit to en- ter into long term lease agree ments with the ranchers that now occupy the land seems hardly a function of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Rhode seems to think that we should have no losses other than by bear although losses from common causes occur wherever stock IS raised. In addition to direct losses from bear, most of the i; losses from falling over cliffs !, are caused by the necessity : for confining the cattle in these areas in an effort to keep them away from the bear. Rhodes report does not mention the 8 to 10 ranches also running stock in addition to the two on Chiniak Pen- insula. Comment on the vegetation found in the stomachs of the bears, seems to follow the same line of reasoning as that which eau !. sed most of the sheep in Me Kinley Park to be killed off bxy x1yoIxyoc
