Wolf Control.
iPetersburg Press.

Few people in Petersburg and Alaska in general seem to realize the importance of the work being done by R. K. Stewart for the Bio logical Survey in the extermination of dangerous predatory animal pests. Anyone who has ever lived in a wolf coyote country knows the devastation that only a small band of these destroyers can do. Cattle men have lost as much as ten thousand dollars worth of stock from the depredations of one or two animals.
 MT stewart reports that while the country has not been completely infested by wolves and coyotes 1t is becoming with the prospect that within the next two three years much of the game and fur-bearing animal reserve is going to be materially decreased. And these animals have been known to attack human beings when sufficiently aroused by hunger, or other causes
 It is more than time to get busy and the resolution adopted by the Commercial Club ask ing the appropriation of $50, 900 instead of SIP. OOO originally sought is worth while movement in this direction. The Petersburg district is wide ly known for its bounteous supply of game and fur-bearng animals but it will not be SO known If the wolves tno coyotes are known among the islands yet) continue their devastating work
 In the meantime, MT. Stewart is preparing a pamplet of instructions on how to go about trapping wolves and every hunter and trapper in the district should obtain copy as soon as they are ready, probably about the first of the year

How About the Seagull?
Seattle Times


 Everyone concerned for the perpetuation of fish and feathered game along coasts will be interested in learning that their worst enemy is the seagull. This is the conclusion reached after many years of intimate observation, by Munro Wyekeff of Port Townsend and various points west Mr. Wyckoff reveals what he believes to be the cause of incaleulable losses in roe, fry and mature fish, well in eggs and young brds-al sacrificed to the voraeious appetite of the gulls.
 If Mr. Wyckohs conclusion is correct. his ~uggestion that Federal restrictions against kill ing gulls be lifted becomes very pertinent. About the only shred of reputation for usefulness now attaching to the gull is a scayenger, and even his open 10 question. Certainly, if put to choice, the people would speak for the full protection of the far useful fish and game birds.
 Federal law forbidding the killing of gulls runs back so far that semes to remember just why it thought necessary or desirable It may have been due to apprehensiveness of a of hard luck for the nation, such as pur- sued the Ancient Mariner after he brought down he albatross. cousin of the gull with his cross bow
 Mr. Nyekon says that when he first pro- pounded his theory he called "a nut" In bringing the theory to general public pub lie attention, The Times trusts that MT. Wyckof may not hear reference to himself in terms any more harsh than that. But we would not venture to predict what out busy humanitarans and nature lovers will have to say

NEW ENGLAND MAY BECOME SILK
 CENTER.

The removal of silk mills from Paterson N. J., to Pawtncket, R. L, where they will occupy buildings and equpmen formerly used by cotton mills is significant. It is said that many of the old cotton mills of Rhode Island aud Massa- chusetts will be turned into silk mills This does not that they all will house former New Jersey industries. for such is not the plan so much the establishment of enterprises
 The removal of most of the cotton industry from New England to the South has caused New EngIanders to set about finding something to take the place of cotton. Silk and rayon lnanu- facturing are proving to be attractive The old cotton mills may be turned into silk and rayon mills without sacrificing all of the machinery. and the buildings are said to be satisfactory
 In the meantime the cotton manufacturing industry in the South continues to progress with leaps and bounds However, the south is now up against a proposition about which New Eng

It was Senator Bruce wet Democrat, who got the Senate to raise the Prohibition enforce ment appropriation from $34,000,000 to more than a quarter billion dollars. Most of the dry Sen ators opposed the increase and the drys in the House caused it's rejection there. Senator Bruce was urging the sort of law enforcement that Gov Smith would have tried to give the people. The debate in the Senate makes apparent why the bootleggers and the Anti-Saloon League work together on this political Prohibition question.
