COYOTES AND WOLVES IN ALASKA.

An emergency appropriation of $30OO0 for SUD- pressing predatory animals in Alaska was recently made by the Territorial Legislature because of the increasing numbers and depredatons of coyotes and wolves there, comments a Department of Agricul- lure bulletin The measure also authorized the en- ployment of two expert leaders of the work these men to be trained and recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture as experts in the suppression of predatory animals, and to carry on control operations under the direction of these lead CTS four hunters and trappers. This action fol- lowed an investigation made by the Bureau of Bio- logical Survey in cooperation with the Territorial Government.
 Coyotes have been the increase in many parts of Alaska since they were first reported killed there in 1915. They prey not only on foxes threatening one of the most important industries of the Ter ritory but also on caribou mountain sheep and other big game, and many nesting migratory water fowl Wolves too though not seen in great num- bers in any one locality, have been observed in their toll of big game, reindeer valuable fur ing animals, and sheep
 Natives in the upper Panama Valley and lower Chisana River section having hard time to secure sufficient game and fur for their meager needs. They may become public charge unless conditions improve Since the coyotes have increased it is difficult for these natives to secure enough foxes, at high fur prices, to make their work profitable. The coyotes not only kill great many foxes but run them out of their dens at pupping time. and the dens for raising their own young Wolves have been known to do the thing.
 In the Mount Mckinley National Park it was found that wolves had recently commenced to kill

THE INDIAN TEPEE By Mary Graham Bonner

The little black clock had cer- tainly succeeded in changing the whole scene back several hundred years.
 No sooner had he told John and Peggy of this magic powers than they saw an Indian tepee. All around was great prairie, and in the distance the children saw a fine herd of buffaloes.
 The tepee had figures painted on it and all sorts of fancy pictures Smoke was curling out of the top. and from the little opening at one side an Indian chief appeared.
 How magnificent he was How tall. how splendid. how strongl John longed to feel his muscle, but he waited to see what would happen.
 Enter" said the chief. "Boy-of- many-years-fr om-now, enter and be welcome"
 Then at the opening of the tepce appeared an Indian squaw, and fol- lowing her were several children.
 "Girl-of many years from now enterl Enter and be welcome" she said to Peggy.
 So Peggy and John and the little black clock entered the tepee.
 There the fire was burning. The chief and squaw and the children sat around on stones in front of the fire. John and Peggy looked about at the low beds, the feathers, the pipe of the great chief and toys belonging to the children.
 Boy of the White Face, Girl with Eyes the Color of the Sky on the Modest Days" began the chief, i've will eat of soup and corn be- fore the Clock dance begins"
 The squaw saw that all had plenty to eat. Peggy saw the dolls belonging to the Indian girls, and John was most interested in ar row heads.
 Then the chief gave great whoop.
 "We must get ready. We must put on more paint, more beads, more feathers. The dance, O Mighty Little Clock is about to begin
 The clock clapped his hands. "This is going to be splendid. hoped they would do this for us."

Attention, the Alaska Game Commission.
Steward GateWaY.l

While the Congressional Party in Alaska Dr. Chase, Chairman of the Game Commission, in public speech at Cordova, told these distinguished visitors that the reports of depredations of the Kodiak bear grossly exaggerated.
 About the first of July this year, San Juan Fishing and Packing Company sent 50 sheep to Uganik Bay Kodiak Island, with the purpose in view of raising flock. The animals were placed on small island in the bay less than half mile from the cannery operated by the company. With in month brown bear had accounted for Is head and severely injured two.
 Kodiak Island is the garden spot of Alaska. Mo- where earth does the grass grow more luxur- iantly. No country has climate better adapted to cattle and sheep raising and no country affords a better market for meat
 The Game Commission has reluctantly relaxed its rules that the killing of brown bear is per- mitted in defense of life property. This is not enough Either Kodiak is stock country or a bear country. All regulations and laws protecting the brown bear should be removed If this were done, we predict that 1000 people would soon settle on the island and that considerable part of the problem of settlement of Alaska would be solved.

LINCOLN'S PART IN HISTORY

Many are living today who lived during the latter part of the lifetime of Abraham Lincoln few remain who knep him personally All of the American people, and thousands in foreign lands the oceans hold his name and memory in respect and admiration
 Each recurring birthday anniversary of the immor- talike Lincoln brings it's lessons. For Lincoln the type of who would sacrifice all other conditions for principle of whatever believed by him to be correct and honest attitude Versatility among his char aceristcs. Whether any given situation staged the hum the tragic he seemed to have the happy faculty of knowing how to take advantage of the circumstance
 The side -glances of Lincon's character reveal per- haps much of interest as his accomplishments statesman prove his ability Above all, he immortal ly human There is end to his life There can be no last word concerning his career He grew to greatness while living He remains alive tho dead In him, honesty not only virtue it Simplicity not only his guiding trait it his strength in great trb ulation.
 Lncoln like the great General, Lee, understood the theory of advocacy that is he knew that his mission representing the people in great issues With this in mind he always stood ready and willing to sacr flee himself for the causes which he challenged.
 Had it not been for men like Lincoln, editorial writ would have to fancy their subjects and draw upon their magnations But with his life and works before them there is presented vast panorama of human events; period of absorbing interest because it is mag nficen and epocha His typical of his time, yet it stood out in decisive contrast and constitutes important phase in American and world history.
 In unity there is strength enough to turn the wheel of fortune for everybody.
 Mars, like Alaska has been outlawed but he hasn't been captured and put in jail.
