ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER| THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ALASKA CONTINUES STOCKING WITH FUR AND ME ANIMALS. The program ot stocking lands of Alaska with valuable fur-bearing and game animals, which was adopted by the Territorial Legislature in 1925, is being continued under an appropriation of $7,500 made available to the Alaska Game Commission by the 1929 Legislature, according to reports to the Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture, says a recent bulletin. These funds were authorized to be used for planting marmots and blue grouse on Prince of Wales Island, beavers in the upper Tanana Valley, Siberian blue squirrels on Seward Peninsula, and reindeer on Unalaska Island. Under an appropriation of $10,000 in 1925, when| the stocking program was inaugurated, several pro- jects were authorized, many of which have already met with success, including the introduction of beav- ers and muskrats on the Kodiak-Afognak group of islands, where they had not previously occurred, and elk on Kruzof Island. In 1927 the Legislature appropriated an additional $10,000 for carrying on the program and added three more projects—intro- ducing mountain goats in Southeast Alaska, elk and deer in the Tanana Valley, and buffalo in Interior Alaska. Of the 19 buffalo introduced in the delta region about a year ago, one died shortly after liberation from injuries received during shipment (from the National Bison Range, Mont.), and one other was missing when a recent count was made, though it may have been back in the brush and out of sight, The others survived the winter in fine con- dition, and, though it was considered unusually severe, they traveled only 30 or 40 miles from the place where liberated. CANADA WANTS BRITISH IMMIGRANTS. Western Canada is very much interested in the proposed visit to the Dominion of Minister of Em- ployment J. H. Thomas of the MacDonald Cabinet. Mr. Thomas is making the trip in the interest of the unemployment situation in Great Britain. In other words, he desires to know whether or not it would be possible for Canada to absorb more than the 50,000 or 60,000 persons that leave the British Isles for that country each year, and, if possible, how the British Government might aid in the movement. This is not a new question in Canada and Great Britain. Some years ago a plan was inaugurated to bring about the settlement on Western Canada lands of 3,000 British families a year. The lands were selected for them by the Canadian Government and money was loaned to get the settlers started with long term settlements. It is estimated that in less than three years more than 10,000 Britishers have settled in Canada under this plan and that they are not only self-sustaining but are making the stipulated payments on the lands and the loans. Gen. A. D. McRae, member of the Dominion Par- liament from Vancouver, wants this system extended to such an extent that 2,000,000 persons would be settled in Western Canada during the next twenty years. It is conceded in both Canada and Great Britain that immigration from the “Old Country” to Canada is desirable. The experiment of transporting laboring men to work in the Canadian ‘harvest fields last year was not wholly successful as a permanent population building move. It is estimated that of the 8,500 who were brought over at that time only about 1500 became permanent inhabitants of the newer country. Most of the others returned to England as soon as they had earned money to pay for the transportation. That is accounted for in large part by the fact that most of the workers sent to Canada were miners and were not well pleased with labor in the fields. They were not attracted by the opportunity to become farmers and toil in the soil. However, whatever plans are adopted, there is no doubt but that Canadians are very anxious to get increased British population. A REMINDER OF THE LONG AGO. . Ayrshire cattle breeders in Vermont, to show that ‘the hardy breed has lost none of its powers of en- durance since it furnished milch-stock and oxen for the pioneers on their westward march in the ldst century, are sending on foot two cows to enter the St. Louis stock show next October. The cows walk from ten to fifteen miles a day and produce from seven to nine gallons of milk daily as they journey ‘westward. “Tomboy” and “Alice,” the “bunion " are to stop a week in Ohio to attend a Tdr there before proceeding to the big city on the i of Waters. Otherwise they will walk thelr stunt each day. They were crossing New York for sometime and were said to be in the best condition. Boots that were made to protect the danger of sore feet had not been used | border. notwithstanding that most of the march had been over paved roads. This reminder of the early walking days of Ayrshires is all very interesting, but the practicability of it is rather obscure. The days of oxen travel and marching family dairies ended long ago and the need for their return is not apparent. Two male mongoose in the St. Louis Zoo got into the United States from India unlawfully, and they were under death sentence until zoo officials came of their defense. They suggeSted that they ought to be sent back to India where they might kill venomous snakes, so they will deported. The dispatches tell us of a fight between pro- hibition enforcers and rum-runners on the Mexican Two of the rum-runners were killed. None of the patrolmen were hurt. It would not be hard to guess who did the shooting. Chain Stores vs. Chain Stores. (Detroit News.) It was only ten years ago that the Government was engaged in a mighty struggle to curb the feared e: nsion of the powers of the packers—the “Big Five.” And chief among those supposed to have grievances against these alleged violators of the Government’s anti-trust laws were the farmers and stock raisers. Surprising, therefore, to learn that now these same farmers and stock raisers are peti- tioning in behalf of the packers to relax some of the restrictions placed upon the packers by the Gov- ernment’s prosecutions. The American National Livestock Association re- cently adopted a resolution favoring such a modifi- cation of the packers’ consent decree as to permit the Big Five to go into retail meat selling, and the National Woolgrowers' Association has gone a step further and advocated letting the packers sell at retail commodities not related to the meat-packing industry. This is a complete reversal of the atti- tude of these interests a decade ago when the Gov- ernment was driving the packers out of such en- terprises. The explanation is that a new combination looms upon the horizon more dreaded by the farmers than the packers. They do not love the packers more but the chain stores less. That is, as between chain stores and chain stores they prefer those run by the packers. Cedar Shingle Plans Trip. (Port Angeles News.) A cedar shingle shake, hewed from a log near Lake Ozette half a century ago with numerous rela- tions, to build a pioneer house in the woods, is going out to see the world. As an amabassador without porfolio, this cedar shake will visit every city in the United States in the suitcase of Barrett Hanawalt, of the Long-Lyfe Shingle Company of Los Angeles to prove that Olym- pic Peninsula.red cedar lives to a ripe old age, even when not painted or treated with preservatives. Rain, wind and sun of fifty years ‘painted the shake a silver gray sheen so desired by modern home builders in California and other cities. So beautiful is nature’s paint that the Long-Lyfe shingle firm manufactures preservatives of the same color. The cedar shingle shake served for fifty years on the humble forest home. Its more modern rela- tions, although hewed in the same primitive fashion, are more high-hat. Hanawalt points out that few homes under $20,000 are using the shakes in Cali- fornia and other States. The Three Mayos. (New York Times.) A London newspaper announces that “two doctor brothers from Rochester, U. 8. A, are coming to Eccles, Lancashire, to unveil a stein-glass window which they have presented to the Church of St. Mary in memory of their father, who was born in the town in 1819.” Eccles should feel honored by the mission of Dr. Willam James Mayo and Dr. Charles Horace Mayo, though it may not know what the Mayo brothers have done, what the Mayo Foundation is or how medical societies all over the world have delighted to do them honor. The career of their father, Dr. William Worrell Mayo, is thus described: The doctor went to America in the early pioneering days. He had many fights with redskins, and his wife used to fight side by side with him. He went through the Ameri- can Civil War before he settled in Rochester, where he founded the Hospital of St. Mary, one of the best known hosptials in America. The window will be symbolic of the father's adventures in America. The newspaper article is headed: “Adventurous Doctor, English Pioneer Who Fought Against Redskins.” Passports and Vises. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) As the height of the tourist season approaches, the question of passport fees and vise charges in- evitably comes to the front. Ten dollars is an ex- orbitant charge for the execution of a passport by the Federal Government. This fee could well be reduced by five dollars or eight dollars to a reason- able sum. More important still is the vise charge which is general in most countries of the world, a hangover from the war regime. A traveler through Europe finds that vises for a dozen countries may easily cost him seventy-five or a hundred dollars. A major factor in maintaining these excessive vise fees is the unwillingness of the United States to lower its requirement of a ten-dollar fee for a vise to enter the United States. If it be true that travel abroad is a whole- some antidote to jingoism and chauvinism, then the reduction or abolition of these deterrents to for- eign travel should be a desirable step forward. Perhaps Congress could take a few hours from its fruitless quibbling over debentures and liquor slayings to take up a matter that will produce last- ing benefits of a positive character.
