with H MARIAN MARSH snon-rs Perfect Day—Radis MIDNIGHT PREVIEW s BUFFALO, ELK, GAMEBIRDS FOR ALASKA Stockings in Norfhland Proye Satisfactory in Several Instances There have been two separate | transplantings of Roosevelt elk to Alaska, one of which is highly sue- cessful, the other very much in doubt. In September of 1926, one male and one female elk were re- leased on Kruzof Island near Sitka. The following- vear six more elk were planted there. Apparently these | elk did not find conditions on Kruzof Island suitable, because they were soon seen in widely separated parts of adjacent Chichagof and Baranof islands. At this time, it is believed that a small group of these | mals are still surviving in the mountains at the head of Fresh Water Bay on Chichagof Island. Extremely gratitying, however, was the project wherein eight elk were placed on the Kodiak-Afognak Island Group in September of 1928. procured from the State of Wash- procured from the Sttae of Wash- ington in exchange for Alaska mountain goats, at the ratio of two elk for one goat, were quite trouble- some to the settlers. In March, 1929, they were moved across the straits frem Kalsin Bay, Kodiak Island to Afognak Tsland. On Afognak they have made remarkable progress. At the present time it is estimated that a herd of 150 elk has developed from the eight animals placed in that region only eight years ago an'l, the expectations are that these animals will continue to mount in nuabers and finally cross over to stcck Kodiak Island. Experts who have examined the Afognak elk de- are them to be the finest of their kind in North America. Tn transplanting elk to other areas in Alaska, it should be borne in mind that their food habits are somewhat similar to moose and to deer; therefore, they should not be placed in areas where they are likely to enter into competition for the food supply. The area between Healy | on the Alaska Railroad and Big Delta on the Richardson Highway mizht prove suitable. Other areas which might be considered are Cop- per Center, the Upper Chickaloon and the islands of Prince William Sound. Buffalo In June 1928, 23 buffalo were se- iected from the National PBison Range at Moisese. Montana, and taken to Fairbanks from which point 20 were carried 91 miles by truck to a corral on the Big Delta flats, three being held at the col- lege for observation. From this orig- inal shipment of buffalo there has been an astonishing increase. In ten years they have built up to'a herd of at least 175 animals. And as in the case of the elk, the buffalo stock has physieally improved since being released in Alaska. At no time during the ten years during which the buffaio have ranged in the Big Delta and Jarvis Creek areas have they required any outside assistance, They have come through the winters in fine shape and their rate of in-| crease has been extremely high. On their present range, it is calculated that there is sufficient all year feed for about 1300 buffalo, after which there must come a natural spread to outlying areas. Turther plantings of buffalo - to Alaska should have in mind the establishments of new herds so plac- ed that they will naturally mingle| with the older herd, after several! years of increase in the Territory.! Areas which might be considered | are Copper Center, Paxson, the Up- per Chickaloon and the area west of Ferry on the Alaska Railroad. The .cost of obtaining buffalo, in 1928 was confined to crating dnd shipping charges-only. ‘The animals were furnished free. It is believed that more animals might be secured on the same basis, Which will permit their being released in Alaska for about $150 each., Game Birds The stocking of Alaska with gume birds has not been very successful, due mostly the fact that unsuit- able birds were selected. From ob- servations on the several plantings of “ring-necked “and- English- type pheasants, it has become apparent that these birds can not survive and increase to any appreciable numbers | the ordinary game birds such as are | dinavian countries well down in THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, ] IMARIAN MARSH " HAS TITLE ROLE TIMES TONIGHT "Prison Nurse” Ends To- night at Capitol OF FEATURE HERE| 1939 STARTS TO CO ; Theatre ENRY WH-COXON | “Prison Nu se,” the Republic Pic- | ture starring Henry Wilcoxon and | Marian Marsh, ending tonight at the Capitol The s an accurate and realistic portrayal of prison life, and the problems which those | in charge of prisons have to fs Both sides question are shown.

John Garfield, Claude Rains, May Robson, Gloria Dickson, Ann Sheridan, the “Dead End Kids,” HOLLYWOOD, Cal,, Jan. 19.—Here is melodrama of flight. from the law, a sort of Jean Valjean-Inspector Javert rabbit hunt in modern dress, the story of a smart guy who turned “sucker” (hon- est) when he eame to grips with love and decency, It is given considerable. brilliance by the performance of John Garfleld, re- membered from ‘Four Daughters,” and by the admirable work of Rains, Miss Dickson and Miss Robson. Garfield, left-handed fight champ, is made a “criminal” on a drunken party. His manager kills a reporter in Garfield’s apart- ment, absconds with his sweetheart (Miss Sheridan). Escaping, the pair are burned to death in an auto crash. The law-—except for Detective Rains—accepts the theory that the murderous fight- er has been cremated. But Garfield, though innocent, cannot show himself, must flee. In his harried wanderings he reaches the desert date farm where Robson and Dickson keep a refuge for East Side scalawags (the Dead Enders) sent by a New York priest. Love is quick, and soon so potent that Garfield, to raise funds for the farm, is in the ring despite that he knows Detective Rains is in the audience, hawkeyed for his peculiar fighting stance. But it's a happy ending —Rains turns “sucker” too. With Garfield’s earthy realism sparking the whole, “They Made Me a Criminal” is close to first-class stuff, “Topper Takes a Trip” Screen play by Jack Jevne, Eddle Moran, Corey Ford, from Thorne Smith novel.

She finds poor Topper (Young) in the divorce court, unhappily trying to explain his consorting with his ghostly friends. Mrs, Topper (Burke) fails to get the decree, but is persuaded to try again in Paris. So Topper—and w a trip, and Marion, appearing and disappearing at will, M. the break-up, restores the Toppers to peace.
