MOOSE DROWN
 IN HUNDREDS
DIR. BAUGHMAN RECOMMENDS SAFEGUARDS AROUND
 KASULLO RIVER.

Seventy to a hundred moose are drowned every year in Kasullo river and Dr. Baughman has recommended that safeguards in the shape of fences be placed to prevent the animals from crossing at certain points. The moose try to cross on the ice sometimes when it is too thin to bear them and the result is often disastrous. The dangerous zone is about three miles long and the work of guarding it would be very little and of small eX- pense considering the advantages to be gained. It is estimated that the number of moose on Kenai peninsula is about four thousand. The difficulty of estimating the number may be judged by the fact that estimates range all the way from fifteen hun dred to fifteen thousand. Dr. Baughman thinks four thousand to be a fair estimate. He also be- lieves the moose are holding their own. During the winter before last many of them were lost because of the deep snow but they got on well last winter.
 The Indians relate the interesting fact that no moose existed on Kenai peninsula eighty years ago. At that time caribou were plentiful but they disappeared and the moose came in. Dr. Baughman believes the moose are neither decreasing nor increasing and that they are just about holding their own.

PRESIDENTS WIFE
 SUING COMPANY
Newsboy Mining Company of Fair banks Being Sued for Services
 of It's President.

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 13.-Mrs. A. E. Golden, wife of President Louis Golden of the Newsboy Mining com pany, has started suit against the company to foreclose on a mortgage for $2O,OOO, alleged to be due for the services of her husband in promoting the company.
 The Newsboy mine is located on Fairbanks creek and was one of the first quartz propositions to attract at tention in this camp. The mine is equipped with mill and other ma chinery but has never been operated at a profit with the exception of the first few months while the rich sur face ore was being milled.
 The values of the ore failed to carry downward with the lead and every one who has attempted to operate it has lost money. The stock is owned by Fairbanks people but it is believed the suit will be allowed to go by de- fault.

Over 500 Miles of
 Copper Wire Here
Takes That Much to Supply Phone Service for City of
 Seward.

The amount of copper wire strung in Seward to supply the city with a telephone service would stretch a distance of more than five hundred miles if placed in one continuous string. The cable crossing Fourth avenue is composed of three hundred and four wires, and not everyone knows that each of these wires is a separate and distinct telephone wire carrying it's own separate messages.
 For the past three months the calls each day averaged more than five hundred, which means more than six teen thousand calls a month. The revenue of the company for telephone service is ten dollars a day so that it receives two cents for each call. 1t is estimated that each call saves the person calling a walk of about seven hundred and fifty feet. If we say it means a saving of a walk of five hun dred feet or only one block means that total saving of fifty mile walk a day is saved to the people for that ten dollars.

In connection with the November edition of the All-Alaska Review which is now on sale attention should be drawn to the article by Mr. c. B. Walker, register of the land office. MT.
