PThRnIGhN ARE EXTINCT AT
 NONE:

NOME Nov. lG. - Where are all the ptarmigano This is a question now being asked by our local nimrods and the people who like to eat a nice hot bird once in d while. Only two ys.rz ago there were plenty of the white game birds all over Seward pen iusu.a last yeu not so many. and the present fall finds Us with practi- cally no ptarmjgan at all
 Whnr" have they eenc. if they have gone Or have tnoy been attacked by some epidemic? Or have they been driven to other parts by one or an other of the heavy storms of the past two years? There are reasons for be lieviuz that each one of these ques tion# contains q suggestion which will partially account at least for their dis. appearance.
 From the captain of the Bear and many others it has been learned that tens of thousands. some say millions, % of ptarmigm perished on the bleak ice fields of Boring sea last winter Why they went there is 9 question that can not be answered with certainty. Owing 10 the prevailing deep snow they may have been unable to get food and in seeking new fields they may have be, oa4e .htstod and settled on the ice There bei.s no food for them on the ice. and Icing too exhausted to fly farther they would naturally freeze to death
 AS to an epidemic there is not much evidence that such has occurred A few travellers have declared that they have seen many scattered feathers and bones of ptarmiean in some sections However, these traces of tragedies in the wiIds are always to be seen all over Alaska. as the foxes. hawks and owls have always helped themselves to ptarmigan when they wanted to eat.
 As to their being storm driven this may account for those seen on the Der ng ice, and furthermore a strong wind IT a series of them may have driven I great many of the birds beyond the ice where they had no place to alight and SD fell in the water, only to be drowned. Usually, however. during q gale ptarmi4an Will burFow into the snow. as does also the grouse, and sit there contentedIy until it ls over.
 The migration of ptarmigan is an other theory, but only a theory For if they have migrated where have they gone to? Reports from all over Alas ka, alony the Yukon, on the Innoko, the Panama. the Koyukuh, the Poreu- pine, agree in this, that the ptarmi- gan has disappeared. Where. no one seems to be able to say
 Any reason for their disappearance from all parts of Alaska seems at best to be only a theory. That they are gone is a fact
 About thirty years ago the present writer was informed by an old-time trader, the same condition existed all along the Yukon lie had a dozen ma tiyes out for Q week to get game for his Christmas dinner and they failed to bring in a single ptarmigan, grouse or rabbit, All small game seemed to bs extinct

Team at Seattle Today.
Washington S Chances Not
Thought Good

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 10.-The Ore
gon Aggies arrived today for Satur
day S big football game with the Uni
versity Of Washington.
Washington chances of winning re.
eeived severe setback when it became
known that Captain Seagraves, who in.
jured several tendons in the University
of Oregon game, would not be in. condi.
tion to play. In addition to this Ben
Mayfield, whom Dobie was figuring
on using in the coming strugge was
hurt in. scrimmage recently and Dobie
lis looking for another man for his po-
sition. Ernest Murphy, another Dobie
star is on the sick list, but will play
in tomorrow s game.
As result of the different mishaps
on the varsity squad, a new right side
of the line will have to be developed
Writ will in all probability take Cap
tain Seagraves' place at guard; Don
Able will hold down left end, and il
Murphy is shifted to the backfield, Cal
kins will be seen at right tackle.
In direct contrast to this is the line
up that the Aggies are going to play
against the Washington team. The two
foremost players OH the farmer squad
are Captain Bissett at half and New,
man at full. Coach Pipal s squad is
somewhat weakened by the freshman
conference rule which keeps out three
of his star players-Conn at half
Busch and Walker at guard.
