 EXTENSION OF ALASKA FISHERIES SERVICE. 



Section 4 of the act approved April 21, 1910, for the protection of 

 the seal fisheries of Alaska, provides also for the protection of the 

 sea otter and all other fur-bearing animals of Alaska, and reads as 

 follows :

 person guilty thereof shall, for each offense, be fined not less than two hundred nor 

 more than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than six months, or both; 

 and all vessels, their tackle, apparel, furniture, and cargo found engaged in violation 

 of this section shall be forfeited; but the Secretary of Commerce and Labor shall have
