GROWING SEAL COATS. BROWN POTATO HASH. THE REPORT of the Governor of Alaska shows that the seal herds of the famous Pribilof Islands are increasing and according to census statistics these herds are approximately twice as large as they were in 1927, and during the ten-yeperiod many thousands of skins have been taken and sold by the government. It is interesting to note that these herds have increased from 132,000 in 1911 to more than 808,000 in 1927. When the government assumed control of the herds they were almost extermi- nated and could not have withstood the indiscriminate killing for many more years. Under the protection afforded by the treaty they have increased rapidly and now are the source of substantial revenue. During the year 1927, 24,942 seal skins were taken from the islands and in the same period 20,313 fur seal skins were sold at public auction for a gross price of $718,101.
