foxes and other Alaska furs. from
London to St. Louis.
'This Is the first time ill history that
,the American seal catch has been
marketed through American channels,
and the action of Secretary William
.0; Redfleld is regarded by the com-
financial organizations and bureaus of
jcommerce with great favor; particu-
larly as being significant of the acti-
" vity of tile Wilson administration in
«gpaying close attention to all manu-
xfacturlng and trade interests.
The United States tllus will dispose
of several thousand raw seal skins
constituting tile 113 catch. Add un-
‘der the protecting laws favoring the
increase of seals. the sale will increase
many fold in the coming few years.
Afljfihe next step will be the removal
‘from London to St. Louis of seal
skin tanners and dyers. establishing
,in‘Amel-ica a great new lnanufoctur~
“mindustry.
, Thus will a trade of great proper
lions be fostered. lint more than
this it will mean the elimination of
the present heavy duty now paid on
lflressed and dyed skins prepared ill
Europe; . while the skins will be
‘ used and dyed in America just as
all, if not better, according to the
batsment of the best European dyel's
themselves.
l. 'Afl‘he economy thus effected by this
E'home'industry and by the absence of
lithe former heavy duty will eventual-
‘z-él‘y mean a saving of several hundred

Some Seal History.
The history of the deal is one of
the most absorbing and romantic of
all the great American industries.
While the .U. S. Government has
produced wonderfully interesting
books on the subject, and which can
be had free of charge. the whole
country will be interested in a few
facts bearing on the seal history of
North America, especially in the light
of the recent action of the Depart-
ment of Commerce, which stamps St.
Louis as the furcentcr of the world.
The price paid to Russia for the
whole of Alaska was $7.000.000. The
revenue from the seal islands alone-
rough. barren, forbidding spots that
compripe but an infinitesimal area of
the Alaska map. has been $5,000,000
~~lllore than twice the sunl paid for
the entire territory.
This area colllprlses the Pribllol
Islands discovered in 1786 by the
\Russian navigator whose name the
islands bear. It Is the seat of the
meet important fur seal colony in the
world. Next Ill importance is the
Commander herd owned by Russia,
while the Kuril herd owned by Ja-
pan comes third. During the first
year of Uncle Sam's possession. the
catch was about two hundred to
300.000 seals, but the herd has d'l-
minished so considerably that as a
result laws have been enacted by
which the herds will be conserved and
future catches increased.
The Greatest Evil.
This great diminution of the herds
has been the result of pelagic sealing
———the killing of seals In the open sea.
Whole fleets would sometimes lay off
the seal islands while their crews
killed the female seals which swam
out to set seeking food.
At sell. the sexes cannot be dis-
tinguished, and the females predomi-
nating the Pelagic catch is made up
largely of this class, the percentage
being from 85 to 5 per cent. of le-

males. The death of a female seal
was not the only evil. She was out
seeking food for her pup which she
had left on shore. so that her death
meant also the death of the young
one.
The United States, linsela, Japan
and Great Britain have made a pact
which stipulates that no longer shall
the fur seal be killed on the high
seas.
King of the Harem.
The seal is a polygamist. The
[larger and stronger males have
’harems, ranging from 20 to 40 Ill

. Naturally there is a large surplus
of mateless males whose 'one object
in life is to get a harem of their own.
entailing continuous warfare and
bloodshed in which .often the female
is torn to pieces or maimed in the
struggle for ownership. To kill off a
goodly number of these disturbing
bachelors of the herd is therefore
necessary—~not only for tile good of
the herd itself but also for the good
of the skills. for naturally a mutilated
skin or an old one has but very little
market value.
Nearly two years ago Congress
made a 'law stopping the killing of
seals entirely on U. S. islands. for
live years, except scale needed for
food by natives on the islands. Willie
from the usual standpoint of game-
preservatiou this seemed a good
thing. zoologists and experts on seal
life are not lIl favor of it. They say
that the ruling regarding llli: liftililltl“.
ration of deer or grouse does not up,
ply to the seal. The claim that If the
number of male seals is not kept
down they will continue to fight and
kill each other. and the pups and fe-
males of the harem as Well-“llllll
only a small percentage of male seals
Is needed to increase the herd. But
besides this if the killing is closed for
five years thousands of skills will he
lost, because a skill older than four
years and a half is worthless. Scien-
tific men say that killing rightly gov-
erned. with none on the open son.
will mean a quick growth of the herd.
diowever. Congress decided the oth-
er way. and closed the season for five
years. The skins of the several thou-
sand seals kIlled under the law as]
food for natives are not to be sent to
London as formerly. Secretary Red
field has ordered otherwise. After a
thorough investigation he has ordered
W.__--
that the entire quantity be sold In
the United States. After a close
study of the fur markets of the world
he selected lli‘llustcn Bros. & (30.. of
St. Louis, to act as agents of the gov-
ernment In their disposal.
ng It Affects Prices.
in 1837 a seal skin fetched from $2
to $3; in 1890, $17 to $30; while in
1909 the price reached the $40 mark.
The prices on senl garments, how-
ever. have indicated a fictitious value.

London shipments. and for dealers

figure for an article Which is a home

So that naturally this signal recog-

the present time St. Louis is the larg»
