To an Indian the melody is only half the music and the problem was to dis- cover the original rhythm. Dr. Willan was able t0 find in the traditional tribal music of the Melicite Indians, who are descendants of the Souri- quots of Lescarbot's time, three tra- | ditional dance rhythms which exactly fit the melodic line of the notes re- | corded by the French historlan three | hundred years ago.

Predatory Animal Menace A resolution from the Peters- ing Congress to appropriate $50.- 000 for predatory animal control in Alaska, was read today, and referred to the Legislative Com- mittee to be submitted with a re- port: to the general meecting of Alaska commercial bodies here on March 15, Few people in the Territory realize how serious are the inroads that have becen made on gqm'e and fur bearing animals by wolves and coyotes, ~declared Charles Goldstein, local business ma nand fur dealer. The Chilkat Valley Has virtually been denuded of fur-bearers in re- cent years by coyotes. During the past year, he added, he has pur- chased more than 130 skins of coyotes taken in that district, some of them being soven feet long. Foxes, mink and other fur-bearing animals in the dis- trict, he safd; have virtually disap- peared as a result of depredations of the coyotes. Mr. Goldstein called attention to an afticle in a fur trale maga- zine relating to a proposed 10-year cooperative predatory animal con- trol program between the Federal and State governments for which it ;was proposed that the former appropriate $1,378,700 annually. A measure to put this into effect is nding in Congress at this time. bogs ‘Goddard, Assistant Exccu- tive Secretary of the Alaska Game Com jon, 'said he believed Alas- ka'.would pE N ‘The U. 8.
