ANIMAL HUNTER SURVEYS NORTH
RK. Stewart Returns from Investigating Wolf and
 Coyote Situation

R. K. Stewart, chief predatory animal hunter for Alaska, has -e- turned to Juneau this week after being in the interior and west ward districts since last summer, making an investigation of the wolf and coyote situation, which is said to be proving menace to trappers.
 Stewart gave aid to trappers in developing trapping methods suit ed to various conditions he found and method of setting traps in the snow or ice for coyotes has already proven successful beyond all expectations, he said, and the set used should also be effective for wolves.
 Stewart expects to be in Ju- neau several days and will then start an investigation of condi tions in Southeastern Alaska. II will make a survey of the wolf mefface on the islands and of the wolf and coyote on the mainland, spending about two months on the work. Special trapping methods suited 10 local conditions will be developed as far as possible. His firgt work will be to investigate the situation in the vicinity of Juneau as. he said reports have

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 2S-One of the Mexican proposals for re- organization of the Pan-American Unions governing board in Wash, ington has received the unanimous approval of the Conference Com mittee.
 The proposal approved suggests the government be allowed 10 designate any citizen as a repre- sentative of the Governing Board instead of confirming representa- tion to diplomats at Washington, as now members of the Union.
 The Committee voted for op. tional double representation on the part of their governments, regular diplomatic representation at the Department of State and a new and special representation at the Pan-American headquarters.

mirers during his tenure of office 1 in the Senate. There has been some talk of the possible entry Of a third Senatorial candidate but so far none has appeared.
 But two House filings have been made to date. Pat Gildea and Eugene Wacker, both of ketchi kan, are looking for Republican nominations with. it is under. stood, the backing of John w. Frame. The A. N, B. organization has turned thumbs down on therl and is expected to support al- other ticket which, it is reported, will include w. l.. Paul, twice member of the House and it's Ii. torney. H. c. Mccain, Ketchikan attorney, Grover C. Winn, local attorney, and a fourth candidate possibly from Petersburg. It is not improbable that other candi- dates will appear in the next ten days.
 Other Divisions
 Representative Thomas Gaffney, of Nome, has announced he will be a Democratic candidate for Senator for the long term to sue eeed Senator Charles w. Brown. There was some doubt as to the Democrats putting up a full ticket in the Second Division, but might have several candidates running as Independents in the Fall cleo ton. Contests were indicated as probable in the Republican pfl- mary for nominations for House seats, and it was reported R. x. Sundquist, twice member of the House, and Andy Nylan, memb 1T of the 1925 House. would be cal- didates for the long and short Senate terms.
 Candidates are numerous in the Third Division. The Democrats have a full ticket headed by for mer Senator A. J. DimOnd of Val dez, who is a candidate for the Senate, II. Fl. McCutcheon, An chorage, Chris Michaelson, Co., dova merchant, P. c. McMullin, Seward merchant and partner of Gus Borgen, and James Cusick, Latouche miner for Representa- tives. MT. McCutcheon has charge of the Anchorage railroad ter minal maintenance work, includ- ing terminal tracks and buildings, and has just completed a term as Exalted Ruler of the Anchorage Elks lodge.
 Long c. o. p. List
 The list of candidates and po- tential candidates in the Republi- can party is longer and gives promise of interesting contests For the Senatorial nomination Charles J. Goodall has either filed or signified his intention to do so. It is said he will be opposed by either Gus Borgen, pioneer Seward merchant. or R. s. Bra gaw, Jr., of Anchorage.

BUREAU HEADS

Meet with ARC. Officials Discuss Additions
 Govt. Wharf

To decide a program for secur- ing necessary funds and means of constructing accessories to the proposed government dock in Ju- neau. namely. float, warehouse and hoisting device, lights and water, members of the varions local government bureaus met n conference this morning with Ma jor Douglas H. Gillette, engineer officer. I. P. Taylor. engineer. and Lieut.. John R. Moves, of the Al aska Road Commission.
 The government fund for con struction of a dock provides for the dock only. it is pointed out. and any additions must be pro- vided by other means. The Com mission will take over the con struction work.
 Six representatives of govern mental interests were present.. Capt. M. J. O'Connor of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries: H. w. Ter hume of the U. s. Biological Sur vey and Alaska Game Commis- sion; Wellman Holbrook and liar old Smith of the U. s. Forest Service: Ivan Windsor of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads; Lieut.. Com. l.. w. Perkins of the U. s. Coast Guard Cutter Unalga.
 Captain O'Connor was made chairman of the conference and { appointed three committees to look into the matter. It is ex- pected the investigations will be completed and the. results known about March 15, Major Gillette said.
 The committees are as follows: Float, Captain O'Connor, H. w Terhune, Harold Smith, Ware house, Ivan Windsor, H. w. Ter hume and Wellman Holbrook; Wa ter and Lights, Lieut.. Com. l.. w . Perkins.

 both of ketchikan, and Allen Shat tuck and w. B. Kirk. of Juneau. All five of these men are widely known throughout the Division and two of them have been can didates for the Legislature in the past. MT. Walker was the Demo cratic nominee for the Senate in 1924 and MT. Shattuck in 1925. Both lost out by narrow margins. MT. Martin, who is manager of the dry goods department for J. R. Heckman & Co.,, formerly held similar position here with Coli steins Emporium. He has had previous legislative experience, serving two terms in the Montana legislature before coming to Alas ka. MT. Kirk is manager and part owner of the ButleriMauro Drug Company of this city. He was one of the delegates from here to the Seward convention and was temporary chairman at that gatE- ering.
 Only partly complete ticket has been filed by the Republicans in this Division. Charles Ben jamin, member of the 1927 House of Representatives, Wrangell busl- ness man, has filed for the Senate and is understood to have the support of the Alaska Native Bro- therhood element. Reports from reliable sources at Ketchikan said that Senator Forest J. Hunt, who has served two terms in the Sen ate, will be a candidate for re- nomination. Tn the past he has had the A. N. B. element back of him but 1t has deserted him this year, according to reliable re- ports. It is also considered doubt full if he will have the active sup- port of Delegate Sutherland ant Judge Wickersham although he has been one of their most con sistent supporters and ardent ac-

BURNS FROM LOCAL
 FIRE PROVE FATAL
 TO MADAME FRANCIS

Francis Gibson, known as Ma. dame Francis, 43. passed away at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the St. Ann's hospital as a e. suit of burns and shock suffered on December 20 in fire on Low CT Front Street.
 The fire in which she received her injuries. was believed to have been caused when some gasoline, which she was using to clean a coat, exploded and enveloped her in flames. Only the quick work of H. A. Robertson, of the Gasti- neau Electric Company, situated in the same building, saved her from possible death at that time
 Although her burns were known at the time to have been serious it was not supposed they would prove fatal Yesterday morning at about 9 o'clock she lapsed into unconsciousness and declined steadily until death.
 Little is known of the deceased. She was born in Texas and came to Juneau several years ago. Pre- vious to her accident she operated a dressmaking and cleaning estab- lishment.
 Funeral services will be held at 2 D. m. Monday, under the aus pices of the Juneau Young funeral parlors, Rev. o. A. Stillmlan off ciating. Interment will be made in Evergreen Cemetery.

been given him that coyotes anl wolves are in this locality. Last August and September, Stewart spent in the Upper Ia mana and Lower Shushana River sections. During October he dem- onstrated trapping methods at Fairbanks, Nenana, Healy, Tal- keetna. Anchorage, Cordova and Chitina.
 The months of November, De- cember and the first part of Jan uary were spent in the Upper Chitina River section, developing trapping methods suited to winter conditions in the Interior.
 Coyotes, Stewart said, appeared in the Upper Tanana river a few years ago and are spreading west ward to beyond Fairbanks where they are fairly common recently. They have also spread to Mt. Mckinley Park but are not yet in the Broad Pass country. From the Copper River section they have spread into the Anchorage district and as far as Talkeetna but are not yet known in the vii cinity of Curry.
 These animals. said Stewart, seem to occur over nearly all the eastern half of the interior and are giving much disturbance to the fox families.
 "A pair of coyotes will run out an entire colony of fox to use the den for the bearing and rear ing of their own young. These expectant mother foxes thus fore ed out of their homes are no doubt unable to provide new places for their young in many cases. There is without question a heavy loss of fox through this Many reports of foxes being killed by coyotes have been received and some similar observations made during the Investigations.
 Coyotes were noted as preying on the nesting migratory water fowl in the Upper Panama and ap- parently do considerable damage to them. They no doubt pray upon the very small of the young caribou and sheep. Further n- vestigation of this will be made during the summer season.
 Coyotes feed on the rodents which are the natural food for the fur bearers and prey upon all the grouse and ptarmigan families.
 Evidence of wolves was found in various sections of the Upper Panama and Lower Shushana riv- CTS but not in great numbers. No wolves were found in the Upper Chitina but evidence of them oc- curing in the Copper River Basin was observed. During the inves- tigations made a number of carl bou and some moose kills by wolves were found. On one rela- lively short mushing trip in the Urper Panama, the carcasses of six caribou and two moose killed ey wolves were seen"
 Stewart plans trip next sum- mer which will take him over practically all the interior of All aska. He will begin with the White River country north of tho

druggist, A. A. Finn, of Cordova. J. H. Murray, veteran legislator of Mccarthy, miner and attornev. and Frank H. Foster. have all been mentioned as candidates and most of them are understood to have filed their declarations or to have announced they would do so.
 Fourth Division
 Information regarding the situa- tion in the Fourth Division is but sketchy. Senator Harry Pratt has been urged to be candidate for renomination by the Demo crats and may consent. If he does not, it is understood that Robert E. Sheldon will make the race. The latter is expected to run for Representative if Senator Pratt files for renomination. Former Representative Andrew Nerlard has been mentioned as the Re publican candidate.
 Republican candidates for the House will include H. H. Ross, veteran House member from the Fourth Division and Fred B. John ston. member of the 1921 and 1927. legislatures. A third candi- date from the lower river districts has been suggested, probably someone from Iditarod.
 It is said to be probable that a number of Independent candidates will be found in the race for the House. Walter Fisher. member of the House last session from Fairbanks, has been urged to run again and may do so.
