Government Plans
 Stocking Alaska
 With Musk Oxen

Stocking of Alaska with musk oxen as a source of future meat supply for the Territory and the Outside world is a possible eventuality of the recent pass age of the Department of Agr- culture supply bill carrying an appropriation of $40,O00 for experimentation with musk OK propagation in Alaska under the direction of the U. s. Bio- logical Survey. The measure has been approved by the pres ident.
 It is planned by the Survey to bring herd of the animals from Greenland and the exper- iment will be conducted by R. L. Palmer, in charge of the reindeer experiment station of the Biological Survey at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fair banks. It is believed with the funds appropriated a herd of 30 or 40 of the animals can be purchased. Some action is ex- pected to be taken this year.

Moose Lodge Plans Dance

The Moose lodge will hold a public dance in Pioneer Hall the evening of August 30 for the purpose of raising funds to purchase the Fernald lot adjoining the school house, for the use of the school, and also to assist the annual Christmas tree fund, it was announced this week.
 The lot in question intrudes into the northeast corner of the school yard and will be turned over to the school, en larging and greatly improv- ing the grounds and also pro- viding increased fire protect ion for the schoolhouse, which is not insured. Efforts were made to induce the territorial school authorities to purchase the lot but failed owing to the fact that the Territory of Alas ka cannot own school proper ty, all lands used for such pur- poses being donated to the school districts in which locat- ed. Realizing that the school needs the extra space and ap- preciating the advantages to the community of the reduced fire hazard, the Moose gener- ously undertook the task of securing the ground with the cooperation of the public.
 Any residue of funds after the purchase of the lot will be divided between Hyder and Stewart in financing the Moose Christmas tree entertainments in each camp.
