WHY CAYoTEs WANDER.

The cayote is being greatly re- duced in numbers throughout the Cnited States. At the same time he has extended his range to the At .antic coast and he has invaded Alaska.
 He did not come to Alaska or go to the Atlantic, hecalsc he was chased out of the Wetern State. He ad- va-cod into 5.,e, .lew fields teqause man assisted him by breaking down the barrier t.lct formerly held him.
 Fo-me-.5- tke ceantry froom the Mississippi to t..c Atlantic wc:. most ly timbeccd, and numerous carniver- GUS fur-bearers like the fox, wildcat and marten kept tlie rabbits and mice in cfeck.
 TEe .ycte nrfces open C.. brush and rather than heavy timber, and that is what lie can now have to the Atlantic coast.
 zWith AsIaska it is nearly the same. The marten, wolf and lynx, that formerly roamed the whole country, are pretty well trapped out, so the cayote hass found food conditions ia. vorablc for Tim. Therefore Le came; and he has probably come to stay.
 HedidEnut come from the SStSates, for heo was already in Canada and only had to step across the boundary. Where, tlde cayotc ranges in Canada it is just as cold or probably colder than where he ranges in Alaska. An ahndaance of rabbits may cause, cayote to wander. More likely it is the lack of them at cer- tain times. but persecution will never drive them to ne wand distant fields. A. H. MITCHELL.

 Natives in the upper Panama valley and lower Chisana river section are having a hard time to secure suffi- cient game and fur for their meagre needs. They may become a public charge unless conditions improve. Since the coyotes have increased it is difficult for these natives to make their work profitable. The coyotes not only kill great many foxes but run them out of their dens at pupping time and use the dens for raising their own young.
 In the Mount Mckinley National Park it was found, that wolves had recently commenced to kill big game animals, with the result that the lat ret are becoming wilder and not SO easily approached by park visitors. During the past winter five wolves killed more than 500 reindeer near Unalakleet. The owner of herd of several thousand reindeer that range on the tundra on the mainland near St. Michael reported that during the winter of 1927-28 two wolves killed approximately POO reindeer, and that 40 of these were killed within a period of a few days--Juneau Em- pire.
