ALASKA FUR-SEAL SERVICE. 
GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS. 
A very full report on the fur-seal service in all its branches dur- 
ing the season of 1917 is contained in the document entitled “Alaska 
Fisheries and Fur Industries in 1917.” This may be consulted by 
persons desiring to know details of the affairs of the Pribilof Islands 
natives, fur seals, foxes, reindeer, and other matters. 
The greatly increased cost of supplies of all kinds rendered in- 
adequate the appropriation for the fur-seal branch of the general 
Alaska service for 1918 and necessitated an appeal to Congress for a 
ae appropriation of $35,000, which became available in Octo- 
ber, .
