ABounty on Wolves

 "The Progressive is in receipt of note from a business man of Rake which deserves more than passing at tention by the newspapers, game var deus and every body else. This man man save. q heard the other day that at last the government was going Co grant bounty on wolves. If this be true, it will be welcome by every resi- dent of Alaska believe. It something is not done Co check he steadily in- oreasing number of these destructive beasts, the deer will gradually but surely be exterminated The Indians have seen many wolves this winter and killed a few. Only the other day party of hunters came across a pack of % to 30 and managed to kill two and wounded two more; but let us consider what damage pack of that size can do and the distance they can cover every day.
 "Every newspaper in Alaska should take this matter up in an eDdeavor to remedy the existing condition. With the building of the railroad, thousands will follow into the country and the protection of deer from useless de- struction will be a great saving for those who may take up lands as we'll as to prospectors, miners and loggers. Certainly bounty should be given to natives at least as an inducement for hunting wolves"

Next Saturday is Memorial Day, but 30 far as we have been able to discover, no arrangements have been made for Che proper observance of the day in Douglas. Lsst year a carefully ar- ranged program came to uaugbt because of the quarantine. In the absence of an old soldiers organization iu Doug Jas the importance of Memorial Day is apt to be overlooked. However, there are many people on Douglas Island who will not forget In the Douglas cemetery they have laid to rest some of their own dear ones and the day set apart by law is to them sacred to but one purpose-that of remem bering the dead. First the brave defenders of the flag who have gone Co their lastrest and then their own lost ones. Even in the absence of a set program there is no reason that the day should not be observed.
 We can only sugg, st that all inter ested gather about 2 o'clock at the cemetery and bring flowers to cover the graves. Let the children be interested, Shat they may gather the wild flowers Chat are blooming iu ,Uch profusiou, and, with a hearty unanimous spirit, we will make public demonstration of the love and respect that is in our hearts for those who have gone before. those whose noble virtues we commend and admire. Ii is ouly fight and proper that we devote at least a part of this day to the remembrance of the dead. It is SO little that we can do. They have passed from our world to better land, but this little hour we can spend, forgetting the struggles of life, and even its joys, to lay a flower on the grave of them that have born the brunt of life's battles and have smoothed the paths that we trend.
