NEW REPORT ON GAME
 ISSUED BY GOVERNOR.

The report of the governor on the administration of the Alaska game laws for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, was received in the last mail, containing statistics of the game sent out and the number of licenses issued, the figures being about the same as they were last year. Accord ing to the report there is still no way for accounting for the disappearance of the ptarmigan and grouse from the greater part of Alaska and it is stated in this connection that the climatic conditions were favorable to increase of the birds. The governor states that he has made recommendation so of ten about required changes in the game laws that to make them again would be an act of supererogation Brown bears, the report says, killed three white men during the year and a number of Indians, and surprise is again expressed that such animals are protected. The law prohibiting the sale of moose meat and mountain sheep on Kenai peninsula, according to Chieg Warden Baughman, has saved 25 moose and number of the sheep.

WHAT WASHINGTON HERALD
 SAYS OF OUR DRY LAW

When the house of representatives last week voted Alaska into the dry column by majority that left no doubt as to the sentiment of the con gress on this question, was influenced largely by the remarks of James Wick ersham, of Fairbanks, Alaska. Dele gate Wickersham told congress that Alaska had voted overwhelmingly in favor of the punishment of all intoxi- cahts from the territory. His speech furnished the strongest argument in favor of prohibition for Alaska, and there was no strong counter argu- ment MT. Wickersham has no vote in congress. He has, however, a voice, and that voice has been used vigor- ously and with marked ability in ex- pressing the wishes of the constitu- ency he represents. Washington Herald

According to Russell Smith, Pacific northwest amateur golf champion, only two courses in California are of cham pionship calibre or compare with the courses in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. These are the links at Monterey and the Ingleside course of San Francisco. He makes the fol lowing criticism of California golf and golfers:
 q don't understand why they do not have the grass greens in southern California. Is Angeles has as fine lawns in the residence section as any city in the country, and yet the so- called greens" at the golf courses are not green at all. They are merely circles of sand, as hard almost as asphalt pavement.
 "1t is impossible to pitch a shot to the green and stick. If you pitch and happen to strike on the green the ball bounds 20 feet into the air and far beyond the green. Players in Los Angeles and environs use the run-up shot exclusively. I understand they are experimenting to some ex- tent now with greens, but none of them are being used, so far as can ascertain"

A new department, art weaving,
Will be started at Concordia college,
Moorhead, this year. This is an old
art and the best known examples are
the so-called Bayeau tapestries 1t
was rather common all over Europe,
but went out of use. Later IL CAME
into use again, and among the finest
examples are the so-called GobelinS
at Paris. The scandinavian countries
used IL. In the middle ages the mo
tives were mostly religious, but now
other motives are used.
The instructor in art weaving at
Concordia college will be Olaf FJelde
He has learned the art from his aunt,
Miss Pauline Fjelde, in Minneapolis.
She spent two years in Europe study
ing in Norway, Denmark, Cologne and
Paris, and at museums in other plac-
this line in the northwest. Her
nephew spent last winter with her
and he took up this line OF work. He
will instruct, first, in the so-called
geometrical weaving and later in pic
ture weaving.
It is a most beautiful art, and Is
also fine home industry. making
home so interesting. When such work
Is well done 1t usually commands a
high price.
conc6rdia college has tried for sew
eral years to secure a teacher in
weaving, but has been difdcult to get
the right kind of looms.
Anyone wishing to learn the art
may inspect the work and receive in
