Govt. to Stock Coast
 Islands With Fur

The |. s. Biological Survey has ap- proved the plan of F. P. Walker, chief of the survey in Alaska, for introducing fur-bearing animals and game into Alaska land suited to them. but on which such animals have never oc- cured or from which they have been exterminated, according to a state- ment made by Mr. Walker. Plans have been made for operation of the undertaking as rapidly as funds permit, says the Juneau Empire.
 The plans for stocking Alaska land with animals was presented by MT. Walker to Dr E. W. Nelson, chief of the Biological Survey, at conference in Seattle relative to the work of the service in Alaska.
 The plans, as given by Mir. Walker, contemplate the stocking of certain lands in Southern Alaska with rabbit such climate and conditions, as food for fur-bearers and man, the stocking of the Prince of Wales group with mar ten, which never occurred there, and the restocking of Chicagof and Bara- noff islands with beaver, which were exterminated on those islands many ears past. Mink are to be introduced on the Kodiak-Afognak group, on which islands they have never oc- cured.
 There have been requests from Sitka and elsewhere for the stocking of Kruzol island with elk, and the Cor dova Game Club has asked that Mon- tague island be stocked with elk said Mr. Walker. While in Seattle Dr. Nelson and made arrangements for

warrant going ahead with the pro- gram.
 Il examined beaver trap, invented by an employee Of the bureau, which is successful in catching beaver alive and which will be great aid in the stock ing work. The trap has been patented by the employee and the patent rights assigned to the government public use,"
 Mir. Walker was accompanied North by J s. Ligon, predatory animal in spector of the Biological Survey, who is an expert wolf catcher. Mr. Ligon was sent North at the request of the communities south of Frederick Sound, where wolves are killing far more deer than are hunters, MT. Walker said.
 The officials were met at Ketchikan by the Survey boat Sea Otter, from which point they worked uorthward, examining the country for proper loca tions for beginning the wolf work. Within fifteen days after arriving in that district the Wolf Man" as he is called, had three wolves, and within another five days he had one more and another had escaped from defective trap.
 "Efforts are being concentrated on developing trapping rather than poi soning,o said Mir. Walker. "Fhe lat ter would probably be more effective, but the use of poison in Alaska must be limited to responsible employees for the sole purpose of wolf control, whereas the development of trapping would en- able many private individuals to en gage in the work, in this way increas- ing the possible number of wolf hunt CTS, furnishing employment to more people, and at less expense to the gov ernment. As soon as the Unost satisfac- tory methods arc detemnined by Mir. Ligon, he will begin teaching local trappers.'

To the Honorable Board OF Supervls-
ors:
We, your comnitte on equalization,
beg leave to report that we have care
fully examined and considered the re-
port of the supervisor of assessments,
Mr.. r. A. Tredinnick. While we are
of the opinion that the valuations as
found by him do not show sufficient
consideration of recent changes in
market values of property in this
county, both real and personal, and
that the valuations as found by him
are too high under present market
conditions, nevertheless, under the
present method of making assess
ments and equalizing the assessed
valuations as between the various
counties and their taxation units we
feel that there is nothing for us to do
but to adopt his figures and his de-
Examinations of equalization Of as
sessments. We, therefore, determine
the true value of the various classes
of property in the county to be as
follows:
