WOLF SCARE IS
 ON IN RUSSIA

MOSCOW, Feb. 2 (P)-The wolf sea- son is on.
 Russian life would be incomplete without it's wolf scares and Russian literature would lose it's savor minus the scenes where marriage parties were chased in troikas over the frozen steppes by ferocious packs of snarling wolves.
 It's all in the Russian picture But this winter the stage scenery has been too greatly augmented. The wolf population is not suffering from race suicide and since the peasants have been forbidden by the government to possess or carry firearms, it is impos- sible to kill off these deadly enemies of man and livestock.
 It is estimated that there are at least three times the number of wolves roaming Russia as in 1914.
 "Only professional hunters have been
 
 awakening to the fact that this win ter the wolves may take toll of hu- man lives as we'll as devouring mil lions of head of much needed stock and has set aside the sum of S50,000 to combat the wolves. The sum will be but drop in the bucket.
 At present the peasants have been asked to make maps of the districts where wolves abound and turn them in to their Soviet, so that in the spring the fight can be taken up in earnest.
 For some strange reason no figures on the number of deaths in a year from wolves have been compiled since 1896. But in that year 119S hu- mans were torn to pieces by wolves.

Local Handling Freight
 Billed Woodrow, Ceases According Instructions

Inst actions have been ..eived from Washington, D. C., by The AL aska Railroad headquarters, that the present practice of handling freight billed to Woodrow from the States, will be discontinued. In the future all freight, so billed must be forwarded to Woodrow, and should any cont signee wish to re-ship any of this freight, bill of lading must be pre- pared covering same to be shipped and left at Woodrow for the conduc- tor.
 This new ruling, according to local business men, will probably mean that in the future the parcel post system will be used as frequently as possible in order to avoid additional costs of freight shipments, due to the increas- ed cost of shipping direct to Seward, instead of to Woodrow. As pointed out to The Gateway freight shipped from the States direct to Woodrow was charged for by the poundage with no wharfage charges over the Seward dock. In comparison to this freight shipped direct to Seward from the States is charged by measurement and local wharfage charges made, en- tailing a considerable extra expense to the merchant

Arcade Annex Floors
 Covered with Raecolith

Something entirely new in the way of floor covering for this district of the Territory, is the raecolith composition now being laid in the bath rooms, kitchens and railways oi the new Arcade Annex. Gerhart Johnson and his crew of skilled men have the contract we'll in hand. It is planned to cover certain of the floors in the original building, as we'll
 Raecolith has been on the market for about six years and is being used turnout all modern buildings in the States. It is particularly adaptable for this purpose owing to it's tile-like beautiful appearance. The compost ton is mixed like plaster, in any color one might wish; laid like a cement walk but which, when it is firmly in place and dried out, has a soft residence which is obtained from the special compounds making up raecolith.

HOLT SPENT SIX
 YEARS IN ALASKA
 PURSUIT OF GOLD
MANY SEWARD AND VALDEZ RES- lDENTS WELL RECALL THE
 MOVIE ACTOR.

The West has played an important part in the career of Jack Holt. From the time he left the Virginia Military institute, Holt has been iden- tified with the west He went direct ly from Virginia and later went to Alaska, where he spent six years in pursuit of gold. From Alaska he went to Oregon, where he bought a ranch and punched cattle.
 His first entry into motion pic- lures was with western produc- tion being made by San Francisco company. He jumped his horse off a thirty-foot embankment into a river and got just a bit of money for it and no screen credit.
 Not long after he went to Holly wood and played many western roles with a fling at society dramas and back to the westerns he loves so much.
 As a matter of truth, Holt's biog- raphy might well be titled Winning the West"

W. q. BOEING ON STAND OLMSTED
 LIQUOR PROBE
GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T PROSE- CUTE ANYONE FOR ORDER
 LIQUOR OVER WIRES

SEATTLE, Feb. 2. (P)-William E. Boeing, millionaire builder of govern ment airplanes of this city on the witness stand in the Olmsted trial yes terday was asked: "In the summer of 1924 did you give an order for one case of Holts Decanter and one case of King George?"
 Boeing replied: 'T did give an or der, but I cannot tell what it was I ordered"
 When questioned whether Fred Gage, defendant, gave him the tele- phone number from which to order the liquor, Boeing said ''that is quite possible"
 Prohibition Agent Fryant testified that Bobby Herman, former secret in- vestigater for Police Chief Severyns, was liquor scout for the organization. In conversation it was told in which Herman represented, as inviting Roy Olmsted to police headquarters to see him about losing two hundred and sixty-four cases of liquor" August 28 1924, five months after he had left Severyns employ.
 "We are going to bring in four hum dred and fifty cases tonight so get some boys to help" Olmsted telephon- ed Edward H. McInnis July 30, stated Fryant He also testified that McIn- his asserted the conversation as im- possible as q was in California that month"
 No Crime In Ordering

FIGURES REVEAL BIG COAL MARKET
 IN CALIFORNIA

Bituminous coal is retailing in Cal ifornia today from SIS to S2O per ton, coal, which in many instances is far below heating units and ash contenr to Alaska coal. The population of California is said to be around the A. 100000 mark which would bring the coal consumption to one ton per capi- ta. Nationally known coal experts and authorities have pronounced a 10000 ton collier, operating between this port and California, could transport AL aska coal for S1.0O a ton.
 Assuming the coal cost the opera tor S5 ton to mine, which, it has been stated is quite high for large quantities; add to that the cost of the rail haul to Seward, the loading, and final landing, unloading in California port, it is quite apparent the market in the States but await the time when Alaskan coal operators are financially able to enter into the larger field
 It was pointed out to The Gateway the other day that two million tons of Rock Springs, Wyoming coal, and al- most like amount of Utah coal is
 being shipped into the State of Cal lfornia. And in making this long ov- erland rail haul to the port of San Francisco, the Continental Divide and
 the Sierra Nevada's must be crossed
 The same condition holds true to the Mexico frontier, from which point. other shipments are made from. The rail haul over The Alaska Railroad to tidewater, is considerably shorter. Alaska's coal industry is barely in It's infancy yet, when one recalls the forward strides made since they be- gan producing, three or four years ago, the progress being made at the present time, it will be seen the near future looks exceedingly bright.

CATTLE INDUSTRY FAR WESTWARD
 ON INCREASE

On Seminoffsky Island, situated or the southend of Shumagin group and 65 miles southeast of Sand Point Thomas Skulstad and his partner Adolph Peterson, in addition to the 200 blue foxes on their ranch, have about sixty head of Durham cattle with which they are meeting with re markable success. In case of a ne cessity, they always have silo full of winter feed, but owing to the mild climate turnout that district, the cat tie generally forage about the entire winter and very little silo feed is consequently used.
 As the cattle raising region, it has been stated many times, the westward district is unsurpassed anywhere. All vegetation in Alaska has very rapid and luxuriant growth, owing tC the great amount of sunlight in sum mer and the richness of the soil. Flow CTS of all color and varieties are found in abundance from along the coast to the Yukon, growing from the noun tain tops to the valleys below.
 There are two varieties of wild peas beautiful in blossom and rich in fruit These thrive along the sandy banks of the rivers which head in the Alas ka mountains the height of four to five feet and cover the ground like a great wheat field. The taller varie ties are quite nutritious, having long heads which are rich in seeds. Many smaller varieties thrive everywhere.
 The best known and sought after by the stock is the bunch grass, which is found in intervals turnout the re gon and which is always eagerly eat en by the stock.
 Other residents and companies tc the westward have been experiment. ing for years until the industry has now reached a point where 1t is ar experiment no longer but an establish ed fact that the business of raising cattle has an ideal enormous area l to theWestward, where the climate is mild and seldom severe, and that the industry can be conducted at ar extremely low cost, from an econo mic standpoint.

POLITICAL POT
 BEGINS BOILING
 COMING ELECTION

The primary election in Alaska will be held Tuesday. April 27, at which time the candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties will be nominated for the November election.
 For Delegate to Congress Dan A. Sutherland has filed for renomina- ton as Republican. Thos. C. Price of Anchorage, is spoken of as Demo- cratic aspirant for this office.
 In the Third Division the term of Senator A. J. Dimond of Valdez, expires and he has filed for re- nomination on the Democratic ticket. Arthur Frame of Anchorage, has also filed for this office on the Republican ticket. AS to the can- didates for the House of Repre- sentatives there is still considerable conjecture, as no filings have as yet been made with no avowed candi- dates in the field.
 The residents of Cordova feel that they are entitled to representa- tion in the next legislature and the many friends of Thos. s. Scott are urging him to file on the Republican ticket, believing that he can be elect ed and would also add considerable strength to the ticket.
 Joseph H. Murray of Mccarthy, the dean of the legislature, will in all probability again file on the Repub- lican ticket, and with Ben Grier or any other equally strong candidate from Anchorage, the Republicans would present to the electors a ticket that the voters would be glad to cast their ballots for.
 The Democrats have no avowed candidates in the field, but there is some talk of Chas. w. Wilcox of Valdez and John J. Coffey of Ko- diak filing. w. B. Dean, member o fthe Anchorage city council, who is seeking a republican nomination for the house. William A. Sherman, democratic member of the last house of representatives from Anchorage, will be a candidate for re-nomina- tion in the April primary.-Ex.

 The Algonquin and Haida are laid up at the Bell Street dock for repairs.

 No reason is attributed or could be found up to the time the Watson left Kodiak as to why he killed himself. He was a man about 75 years of age, was Pioneer of Alaska, and some years aga had served as agent for the Northern Commercial Company and, at one time, held the office of inspec- tor of customs. It is expected more particulars will be obtained later.
