It is not an infrequent occurrence for engineers to slow their trains to avoid collision with bands of car ibou on the Northern Division of the Alaska ailroad, but it seldom happens that moose are encounter ed on the tracks. although occas- ional glimpses of them are obtained
 between Seward and Anchorage. The unusual happened recently as engineer Dan Dexter. who was pull ing the regular train into Seward. was making up time in the vicinity along at a 35-mile clip. when three moose. a mother and two calves, came suddenly out of the darkness into the full glare of the headlight not more than 50 yards from the locomotive and directly on the track. Brakes were applied but it was not possible to stop the heavy train in time to avoid collossion. The mother moose and one of the calves were thrown to one side of the track and the other calf went in the other direction. The mother was killed almost instantly but the two calves disappeared and it was not possible to ascertain to what

Troppers and hunters who take predatory animals are warned that they cannot receive Territorial bounty for wolves and coyotes un- less the law is followed in exact de- tail. Many are losing considerable sums of money through not realiz- ing that simply presenting pelt will not entitle them to the bounty. The session laws of Alaska provide that the Claw and Radius of the left forearm of the animal must be attached to the pelt. The pelt and forearm are then presented to the U. s. Commissioner for bounty pay ment which is made in the sum of $15 when the hunter or trapper makes affidavit as to the time and place when the animal was taken.

Reports received at the Juneau headouarters of the Alaska Game Commission indicate that the Terri tory's experiment. of stocking west ern areas with Southeastern Alaska deer are proving successful The experiment was started II years ago. when the first band of deer
 were taken from Southeastern Al aska and placed on Hinchinbrook
 Island Eight animals, six does and two bucks were placed on the is land. Since that time other ani- mals have been put in other dis
 tricts and an addition made to the original Hinchinbrook band. Fou. bucks and ten does were put on Hinchinbrook Island in 1923.
 Many animals have been seen there and others have crossed to the
 along the Copper River and North
 western Railroad out to Mile 46. Six does and two bucks were placed on Montague Island in the fall of 1924 and are said to have thrived exceedingly well. The best reports
 however come from Long Island.
 one of the Afognak group. where four bucks mad seven does were placed in May, 1924. Large in
 ereases are reported and the ami
 mals are said to have grown larger
 than in their usual surroundings. Some of the increase has spread
 across to Afognak Island. The on-
 ly mainland experiment tried was On Kenai Peninsula. at Homer
 where eight animals were landed in the fall of 1t24. A recent count showed 20 deer in that vicinity and 1 it is believed there were others | which were not seen.
