 REGULATION TO PREVENT DESTRUCTION OF GAME BY DOGS 
 ON THE KENAI PENINSULA, ALASKA. 
 
 Whereas dogs are running at large on the Kenai Peninsula within 
 the districts inhabited by game animals and are destroying such ani- 
 mals and their young; and 
 
 Whereas it is important at this time to prevent unnecessary de- 
 struction of game animals which furnish a supply of meat in Alaska: 
 
 Now, therefore, by virtue of authority conferred upon the Secre- 
 tary of Agriculture by section 2 of the act of May 11, 1908 (35 Stat., 
 102), entitled "An act to amend an act entitled 'An act for the pro- 
 tection of game in Alaska, and for other purposes,' approved June 7, 
 1902," the following regulation is made and published to take effect 
 November 1, 1917 : 
 
 REGULATION 1.— preventing destruction of game by dogs on the kenai 
 
 peninsula. 
 
 Killing moose and caribou with dogs, allowing moose and caribou 
 to be killed by dogs, allowing moose and caribou to be killed for f 0( >d 
 for dogs, or permitting dogs to hunt moose and caribou on the Kenai 
 Peninsula is hereby prohibited for a period of two years. No dogs 
 shall be allowed to run at large or, unless accompanied by or under 
 the immediate control of their owners or custodians, shall be allowed 
 on the Kenai Peninsula outside the immediate vicinity of the towns 
 of Hope, Kenai, Roosevelt, Seldovia, Seward, and Sunrise. For the 
 purposes of this regulation the immediate vicinity of the towns shall 
 be considered to mean one mile in any direction from the post office. 
 
 In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the 
 seal of the Department of Agriculture to be affixed this 19th day of 
 October, 1917.
