T.. Gardner, president of the Alaska Game Com mission.
 The menace of these predatory asli- mals- is greater than most Alaskans realize. Mr. Gardner says. The coy otes have appeared along the upper Panama in greatest numbers and spread all over the interior, killing young caribou and moose and. driving he fur-bearing animals from their usual haunts.~ The situation has reached critical stage, and it is esti- mated that it will require millions of iollars andNyears of determined ecort to rid the country of these enemies If Alaska game.
 MT. Gardner attributes the, rapid increase inE the number of predatory animals in Alaska to the war. which has been launched against them in the States and in Canada and to- the ravages of foresttfires ~througheut the country These fires have left burnt over avenues leading direct to. the Territory, and Ii Is, along thase invit- ing routes of travel that the coyotes and wolves are making their. way to Alaska. Thegreen timber and, under brush formerly served as a barrier, it being the natureSof predatory ani- mals to avoid such places
 Ar effort. is being made at the present time, Mr. Gardner says, to enlist the cooperation of trappers and prospectors in ridding the coun- try of coyotes and wolves. MT. Gard ner is sn oldtimer of Alaska, and pro- section of game and 'fur-bearing ani- malls has always been hobby with him..
