Probably the most discouraging thing met with' by the Alaska brown bear enthusiasts who have over-run the Territory this summer is the behavior of the brown bears. They have performed as usual, They have attacked .tourists, they have treed Gov- ernment employees and chased Alaskans. They have continued their attacks on domestic animals. The Farthest North Collegian, publication of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, gives the following heretofore unnoted account of Alaska bears in the Interior of Alaska: A bear and two cubs have been ruth- | lesly destroying Biological Survey property on Goldstream Hill A reindeer and a Muskoxen have been killed and partially eaten. Fences have been broken and a few people frightened. It is believed that these animals have i acquired the “meat habit” and are killing | to satisfy this hunger. Word comes from mines and other settlements that the brown bears are so thick that miners and other inhabitants are afraid to spend their spare time picking berries. Farmers in some sections take rifles with them into the fields, it is said. ! This all suggests that before Congress establishes more sanctuaries for brown bears in Southeast Alaska, at least, the Geological Survey ought to be given the money and men and directions to make very careful iInvestigation of the area before it is set| apart. We dg noj gbject to a reseryation for brown bears if country that is not valuable for other and“ more material uses is available and if the bears | are kept on the reservations. The more the people | who go into the forests and hills the greater be- comes the brown bear menace to development. | FOOLISH CRITICISM. ] An Outlook editorial writer blames Presidenti Hoover for the failure of “his” Farm Board to| induce farmers to reduce their wheat acreage. That | is about as sensible as many criticisms that find their way into types. The Farm Board did its part when it recommended that farmers should not plant so much. That is as far as it could go. It was another case of leading the horse to the water and inability to make it drink. This thing of regulating farm production by Pederal agencies is not what it is cracked up to be. If the farmers cannot get together and regulate these things themselves, we know no way that it can be done. simple. They have a natural and legal right to utilize their -acres as they might wish. One would think the farmers ought to be able to manage things someway. the Government to restrict planting on the one hand and it is ridiculous to ask the Government to guarantee a market for unlimited ' quantities of wheat, corn, etc., more than the consumers want, And it is very foolish for the farmers to produce a large surplus. President Hoover cannot do impossible things. It is absurd to expect him to do so. | wood tariff again Those cans and North | States must be that is played Irish counted in on an | | RESTHRNEE SR TS | Mayor Jimmie Walker has gone to Carlsbad with |a bottle of wine to stay five weeks. be able to renew the supply over th | |ing before they reach that country. ’ ‘Demanding a Plan.

In an address which he recently made at Colorado Springs, Presi- dent Houston refered to the frequent demand that “we must have a national plan and national plan- ning board.” His pungent comment was: What folly! What men, or group of men, in this country would know how to direct all, or many, of the leading activities of this great nation; and who is so innocent as to assume that, if they were to make a plan, our people would follow it, unless they could be “made “slaves? Certainly the Federal Government could not formulate or direct such a plan. It is none too successful in discharging its constitutional functions. It cannot even run a routine business like the Postoffice without a huge deficit. ¥ Blood Will Tell. (Seattle Times.) | Virginia Dawes, 17-year-old daughter of Ambas- sador Charles G.
