Biological Bureau Plants Rabbits

working on the premise that much of Alaska's area, particularly islands is primarily suited for production of fur and game, and that many lands which are suited for other uses can also produce wild life, the Bio- logical Survey is working out a pro- gram of stocking such lands with valuable animals adapted to the con- ditions.
 As first step in carrying out this program, MT. Ernest P. Walker, head of the Biological Survey in AL aska brought up on the Evans, the 23rd of June a number of rabbits. These are wild rabbits of Western Washington, known as the Washing ton Varying Hare. MT. Walker states that while the animals are not as large nor prolific as might be wished they were selected because of their ability to thrive under climatic con ditions similar to those in South eastern Alaska. He states the frs. step in such an undertaking is to obtain animals which can survive the climate, after which breeding can be carried on for increasing the pro- ductivity and size if such seems de- sirable.
 While some of the animals had been captured from the wild state only recently all of them stood the trip in excellent manner. As the Biological Survey vessel "Sea Otter" was not available at the time to take the rabbits to their future home they were turned over to the Forest Service to take to Smeaton Island, in lower Behm Canal, where they are being released.
 Other shipments will follow and he placed on other moderate sized islands where the animals can be watched and studied. If the intro ductions prove as successful as is anticipated the surplus from the isl ands first stocked will be transferred to other islands.
 Rabbits live on small plants and will convert our surplus luxuriant vegetation into meat for both man and fur-bearers. The promising na- ture of this undertaking should ap- peal to Alaskans and the animals should receive the active protection of all until they have increased suf ficiently to warrant killing them for food and sport.
 According to MT. Walker other stockings will primarily be fur and larger game animals and will be

If this engine, which weighed five tons, had been shipped by way of Panama the freight from Elmira to Seattle, including wharfages, would have been less than $100. In other words, the transportation over the 1000 miles from New York to Se- attle would have cost less than one sixth of what it cost to transport the engine from Seattle to Anchor age.
 A storage tank weighing 325 lbs. was shipped from San Francisco to Seward via Seattle. The freight charges on this tank were as fol- lows:
 Freight from San Francisco to Seattle including wharfage .~S 1.30 Freight from Seattle to
 Seward ..... 2O.63 Seattle wharfage -..-,~.....-..~.-... $ 1.68 Seward wharfage -.. 2.29 Total freight charge,
 
 It will be observed that the Se- attle wharfage alone on the Alaska shipment was more than the entire cost of transportation, including the wharfage, from San Francisco to Se- attle.
 Recently a shipment of cannery equipment was sent from San Fran cisco to Ketchikan via Seattle, and being more than a carload it had the advantage of low cannery rates. The freight on this shipment from San Francisco to Seattle, 935 miles, was $127O5. From Seattle to Ketchikan the freight was $326.09, a distance of 743 miles. The r2te from San Francisco to Seattle was $500 per ton by weight. The nominal rate from Seattle to Ketchikan was $500 per ton weight or measurement.

BORDERING N
 FROM THE LINE

The following poem by R. Watson Kerr, young British soldier, is
 one that Sir Harry Lauder
 asks every thinking per
 son to read. Have you seen men come from the
 line, Toddering, doddering as if bad wine Had drugged their very souls? Their garments rent with holes And caked with mud And streaked with blood Of others, or their own? Haggard, weary-limbed and chilled
 to the bone, Trudging, aimless, hopeless, on With listless eyes and faces drawn Taut with woe? Have you seen them aimless go Bowed down with muddy pack And muddy rifle slung on back, And soaking overcoat; Staring on with eyes that note Nothing but the mire; Quenched of every fire? Have you seen men when they come From shell holes filled with scum Of mud, and blood and flesh; Where there's nothing fresh Like grass, or trees, or flowers; And the numbing, year-like hours Lag on, drag on; And the hopeless dawn Brings nothing but death, and rain The rain fiend of pain That scourges without end And death, kindly friend? Have you seen men when they come
 from hell? If not-ah, we'll Speak not with easy eloquence That seems like sense Of war and it's necessity, And do not rant, I pray, On wars magnificent nobility" If you see men come from the line You'll know it's peace that is divine; If you've not seen the things I've
 sung Let silence bind your tongue, But make all wars to cease And work and work for everlasting
 peace.
