WOLF TRAPPING CONTINUED
 BY U. S. BIOLOGICAL SURVEY

The Sea Otter, Capt. Ken Talmage, of the U. s. Biological Survey is mak- | ing it's headquarters at Wrangell at present with H. P. Williams, expert killer and trapper of predatory ami mals, on board. MT. Williams will devote his whole time while here to trapping of wolves and instrction of trapping in the same work.
 The first work of this kind done by the bureau in the Territory was carried out last year by J. s. Ligon, who became known as the "wolfman" l through his success in the local field It had been expected that he would
 return this year but he could not due
 to the press of work in his own dis trict in New Mexico. MT. Williams, who has charge of destruction of predatory animals in Wyoming,
 ranks with MT. Ligon as being
 among the most expert men in their line in the service of the bureau. In
 order to familiarize himself with the conditions peculiar to this field, be- fore starting for Alaska, he went to
 New Mexico and conferred with MT.
 Ligon, coming direct here from the lconference.
 | The bureau plans to confine this
 work to certain districts until it has
 wiped out the wolf bands there.
 Trapping will then be extended to
 other sections. MT. Williams, in fol-
 lowing out this policy, will work
 south of Frederick Sound until in December.

The flag pole was placed on the building yesterday by some of the high school boys. Alaska Day has become an ac- cepted holiday for the Territory and the school was dismissed after the program.

MOOSE FAMINE IS PREDICTED
 BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

That large numbers of moose will die from starvation on the west side of Kenai peninsula this winter even with a normal amount of snowfall and that the losses will be greater should subnormal weather be ex- perienced, is indicated by reports re- ceived from the westward. An alarm ing shortage of winter feed for the animals is known to exist and un- less food is provided for them serious depletion of the herds is believed to be inevitable.
 An unusually heavy snowfall last winter resulted in the destruction of much of the natural forage. The situation was aggravated by the com petition for food between the moose and rabbits. The latter, which ap- peared in great numbers, devoured all the smaller bushes, willows, young birch and aspens, girdling larger trees and stripping them of their bark as high as they could reach. The moose completed the de- vastion of the same kind of forage as high as they could reach, in some instances riding down the larger bushes and feeding off the tenderer twigs and limbs. In many places it was noted that they had even consul med the bark off some of the limbs.
 partial survey of the field was made this season which confirmed unofficial reports as to the situation E. P. Walker, of the Biological Sur yey, who was in the district, said that t had not been exaggerated. He has made a complete report on it to Dr. F. w. Nelson, Chief of the bu- reau.
 Last winter, although the forage shortage was not serious, number of moose calves died from starvation During the present winter unless re- lief is furnished, heavy mortality not only among the yearlings, but al. so the adults, is forecast.
 A plan of relief has been suggest ed which entails the employment of a small number of men for three or four months in cutting down trees to supply forage and killing off the rab- bits which are expected to be more plentiful than last var This is said to have been demonstrated to be practical. The moose herds winter on an area lying between Point Pos session and Kachemak Bay, about 20 by 50 or 60 miles. The cost of such a system of relief is estimated to be small. It is not known whether or not Federal funds for such work are available. If they are not, efforts may be made to raise the money by private subscription from sportsmen and sportsmen's clubs.-Ketchikan Chronicle.

WORDS OF WISE MEN

WORDS OF WISE MEN
 Faults are thick where love Is thin. The family Is the very heart of so- eiety.
 The winds of diversity blow egotisn out of us.
 Follow the wise few rather than the vulgar many.
 Where a mans heart Is rooted there Is his home.
 It is backbone that makes progress not wishboEe.
 It's better to congratulate yourself than pity yourself.
 Experience is merely the name men give to their mistakes.
 There is no sense in breeding over what is finished and done.
 Ordinary riches can be stolen from . man. Real riches cannot.
 National hatreds are always strong est where culture Is lowest.
 Friendship never forgets. That Is the wonderful thing about 1t.
 The commonplaces of one age or nation make the poetry of another. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist. that is all. Neither the good nor the evil you have done Is lost, though you forget both.
 Ignorance and bungling with love are better than wisdom and skill with out 1t.

JAMESBURG

The block dance and concert Civ
en- by the Jamesburg Fire Depart
ment Tuesday evening was a huge
success and the estimated receipts
has been placed at close to five hun
dred dollars. Preceding the block
dance that was held on Lincoln ave-
nue., a concert by the Tall Cedars
band of New Brunswick, was given
in the Star Theatre and was fairly
we'll attended. Following the rem
dering of an excellent and pleasing
program the band furnished the
music for the block dance and the
music was the snappiest ever held
in Jamesburg, the band being in the
full strength of thirty-five pieces.
Probably the largest crowd to ever
attend a similar affair in Jamesburg
was present and the liberal patron
age of the several concessions along
the avenue helped swell the pro-
ceeds. The entire section of upper
Jamesburg turned out to listen to
the music and many held open house
during the dance that did not ter

Shortly before 3 o'clock, yesterday
morning a fire was discovered in the
outbuildings of Addison Scott, near
here and before the Jamesburg or

were burned. A horse, COW, chick

lost in the fire. The estimated dam

What Is Going On At Perth
Amboy's Recreation Centers.
sMa--ning VS.. Playground

Does it ever occur to you that we
IN Perth Amboy are very fortunate
" situated in that we can combine
our playground program with n of
the city's finest natural resources =?
Our water front, parts of it, at any
rate just welcome you on these hot
days when tide and good weather
permit your going in for that cool
refreshing swim. And in good time,
perhaps our city fathers will see fit
TO lengthen those sewer pipes so
they will not interfere with bathing
as they do at the present time. What
beaches we have now are not nearly
adequate enuf for a city this size,
and it must needs seem like the
irony of fate hal of our several
miles of water front, only a very few
feet are adapted to bathing facilities.
As we said before, we are glad that
we can, in part at least, combine
both land and water fun, but We
fervently hope that the time will
come when water fun will be as big
4 part of u program, if not big
ger.
1t is readily noticed how small the
attendance on each ground is when
The tide happens to be just right.
We cannot hope to compete with
Nature. therefore, we extend to you
congratulations on you having the
place to swim. Go to it; swim
hard!
