"TALABKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION ALASKA'S \\(l! l MENACE COYOTE One of and coyote e than, as sometimes inferred, ima report of Treasurer Oscar Olson men t 1in the of the various bounty funds Last week, the Treasurer poinied out that of $80,000 appropriated by the Legislature of to pay bounties on ves and coyotes only $8,080 re- mains in the fund, or about enough to last a mont longer, the Treasurer estimate This means that by about the first of April $87.00 will have been paid cut in bour for wo and year coyotes in approximately a before another year to go the Leg again to take up the matter of appropriations. bounty rate of $20 each, it is revealed that 4,000 of the predators have been turned in for. bo diring the last year. or will have by the end of another month when the $80.000 is exhausted. Incid no part of the appropriatior nt to pay bot owed from the previous biennium, a special deficiency appropriation having been made to cov iten which came to the sizeable amount of $45 If the take of wolves and coyotes is during the rest of this year and until the meetil the Legislature in 1939 as it was during the past 12 months, it is indicated that the deficiency will be another $80.000, or a total cost to the Territory in two years of $160,000. Of course, it is probable in- terest in hunting the animals will abate cor ible when it becomes necessary for the Treasurer to issue receipts for bounties instead of cash, the receip holder having to wait for his money until the next Legislature votes a deficiency appropriation to pay the bounties, But whether plenty of evidence preblem is a real one in the tic a-'iox to be to protect Ala game animals 1apreda these predators During the last year, a campaign has been unde taken jointly by the Governor's office vey and Indian office, which, according to repo: getting some results. The local office of the Biological Survey has sent out about $5,000 worth of scent thus far to trappers and reindeer herders to be used in trapping the offenders and considerable field work has been done in aiding the trappers in supplying equipment, and instructions in using rw methods of capture. All of which, no doubt, has resulted in ridding the Territory of a lot of wolves and coyotes. But. al it has helped, naturally enough, to exhaust the bounty fund. If it is revealed next year that the Territory has paid out $80,000 in bounties and obligated itself to pay they are hunted or not, there is to show that the wolf and coyote Territory and more dras 1y b taken Biological & 0, with the aim of protecting one of Alaska's greatest natural resources—its world-fa s wild life.

Port of l4rt Yukon (Fairbanks News-Miner) Yukon's need of a custom’s erious attention. Fairbanks and others aside from Fort Yukon benefit from the traffic coming into Fort Yukon by plane and river craft from the adja- ent Canadian side of the international boundary line As it port des-tves Fort today, all planes wishing to fly from Fort Yukon and Old Crow, on the Porcupine River, first must fly to Fairbanks with passengers or shipments to clear the customs, The enormous handicap of added costs should not exist, American planes are the only planes available for serving the area. Persons injured or taken ill in the Porcupine area are unable to make use of these planes without first making the long, tedious and trying trip by dog team to the boundary, at Rampart House The sit ion is well understood by all in affected area. The remedy is to deputize the U. marshal or somecne else living in Fort Yukon to act as deputy coilector. It is a simple matter and should not involve appreciable if any additional ex- pense. Why not expedite this matter by cutting red tape and giving the people of the district the service so much needed, one which if given will not harm any one yet will be of infinite benefit to those now un- the S | necessarily embarrassed There is some reason for believing that Dr. Glenn Frank and his 149 confederates may thrill the Repub- an party with the idea that life begins at 1940—To- » Blade Automobile Takes Somersault, Lands in Rubbish s sttt e 5 N hurtled into the air and turned en the cutskirts ¢f Wilmingten, Cal.
