Biological Survey approves fur stock introductions in Alaska
The Biological Survey led by Chief Walker approves introducing fur bearing animals to Alaska lands where they never occurred or were exterminated. Plans include stocking rabbit on southeastern lands, marten on the Prince of Wales group, beaver on Chitina and Baranof, and elk on Montague and Kodiak areas. Walter Walker and Dr. E. W. Nelson discuss elk sourcing in Seattle. The effort emphasizes trapping over poisoning, with local trapper training to follow once methods are set. A trail to Windham is planned to support winter mail and supply runs.
