PROGRAM. 



1. There should now be a complete stoppage of the sale 

 of game, everywhere in Alaska. 



2. There now is necessary a legal system for the more

4. All persons lawfully in possession of game meat for

 of game by wolves and other animals, to disclose the 

 actual facts. 



7. The destruction of game by wolves should be checked 

 by a relentless war of extermination on the latter. The 

 proper utilization of poison in the destruction of wolves

 borne equally by the Federal Government and the Ter-
