SPORTSMEN FAVOR HERR. CONTROL OF FISH AND WILDLIFE

According to Bruce Graham, secretary of the Matanuska Sportsmen, who attended the Al aska Sportsmen's Council con- vention in Juneau last week, much ground was covered, in cluding proposed legislature.
 A. w. Bud" Boldly, of Juneau, president of the Territorial Sportsmen, was elected president of the Council The territorial sports group is composed of fl clubs throughout Alaska.
 The council went on record at Juneau as in favor of the enact ment by the Territorial Legisla- ture of enabling legislation to permit Alaska to take over con trol of it's game fish and wildlife from the Federal government. Acting Governor Waino Hen drickson told the sportsmen that legislation is being prepared by the Department of Interior to turn over to Alaska control of the Territory's fish and wildlife.
 Asking that commercial fisher ies be turned over at this time was refrained by council mem bers, who decided that financing of the new body could be defray- ed out of increased hunting and fishing license fees and a share of the Pribilof fur seal sales.
 The gathered sportsmen went on record as in favor of simplify ing the present licensing system and turning over the entire lie ensing effort to the territory they would also seek a one li- cense setup, and agreed special temporary tourist license should be considered.
 Council members favored the repeal of wolverine bounty laws on the grounds the law is in effective and the wolverine val uable fur animal.
 Emphasis was placed on def mite conservation program.
 Movies on wildlife and ser ies of talks highlighted the con- vention.

Fertilizer Costs Gut; Result of
 New Agreement

Negotiations completed this week for fertilizer shipments to the Matanuska Valley, Tanana Valley, and Anchorage area. have resulted in a $10 per ton saving for the farmers, it was announced yesterday.
 The saving is a result of a trade pool agreement with the Coop and others have been working on for some time The fertilizer will be shipped by rail from vari- ous fertilizer plants in Canada and western U. s. to Vancouver, B. c. where the Alaska Steam ship Company will call for it and bring it to Alaska.
 Virgil Eckert, Coop Ware house manager, said today that the Coop shipments alone will total over 700 tons. The shipments will include approximately 10 different type fertilizers, includ- ing ammonium nitrate.
 The reduced rate will be pos sible because of lower wharfage rates at Vancouver than at Seat tie. Special handling restrictions at Seattle were imposed on am- monium nitrate shipments when the U. s. Coast Guard ruled that ammonium nitrate is an explo- 5ive. As a result the fertilizer had to first be taken into an open stream where it was then picked up by the steamship line.
