The Alaskan., 1930-05-30

Dear Sir:
 In reading MT. Will A. BarroWs article in your paper about the wanton slaughter of eagles in Alaska, as he states it, for boun- ty, I wish to contradict some Ot his statements as misleading and not supported with substantial facts and evidence.
 I do not intend to argue the bounty question as I am not fa- miliar with the facts and argu- ments as to why the bounty was originally placed on eagles in Alaska. MT. Barrows states that he has lived in Alaska more or less since 1896 and asks why the bounty was placed on the eagles and states that he has yet to learn the details of that bit of freak legislation" as he terms it, Now I wonder if he has really tried very hard to find out why. I most certainly would before I argued against something which I admittedly knew nothing of, as he does.
 So I will limit myself to call ing attention to some paragraphs of his statement as being incor- rect. He claims "There is no authentic statement, no balanc- ed evidence that the eagle ever captured a baby fox and that Down to brass Jacks, they had never witnessed the destruction of any kind of fox, little, old or young by an eagle" This may have been true at one time but it most certainly is not true to- day as I can prove by eye wit nesses other than myself. Per sonally I have killed three eagles with pup fur and blood on their talonS and beaks and their stom- achs full of fur and fox flesh, but l did not see the eagles kill those pups. On the other hand, dur ing the same month, one of the men working on the same island where this happened, did see an eagle swoop down after a fox pup and knock him rolling. The eagle failed to get good hold Of the pup but did rip out the eye of the pup. This man shot the eagle on it's second attempt to get the pup and states one of the eagles talons was missing, evidently shot or prior to this scene, that being the reason the eagle failed in his first attempt to catch the fox pup. MT. Bar rows is we'll acquainted with the party I refer to.
 My nearest neighbors claim they heard a pup squealing and looking up saw two eagles fight ing for a pup. One had it in his talons and they claim that they saw the eagles actually tear the fox pup in two in midair and fly away with it. These men are willing to make an affidavit to this fact at any time as they were eye witnesses to it. These are facts and it surely is evidence that the eagle will and does kill fox pups.
 MT. Barrows says that Sub scriber sheds tears about the young geese, lawns, ducks, ptar- migan, grouse and so that Bal dy, the Killer eats and says that Subscriber had brainstorm. am not an authority on this neither do I believe MT. Bar rows to be one. He claims that the live ducks the eagle some times takes are the black surf ducks and diving scaups when they happen to be feeding in shallow water, and yet he claims that the eagle is first and last orI i,1cf oho,,4 o1x o

The American Legion
FOR A BUDDY
(From the Milwaukee Journal)

(From the Milwaukee Journal)
 La Crosse, Wis.
 Only traces of home destroyed by fire, surrounded by piles of building material, marked the Greene family's lot here when a swarm of workmen descended on it at a. m. Sunday, but at p. m. smoke was pouring out of the chim- ney of a new house and at D. m. MT. and Mrs. Fred Greene and five children sat down to supper in a completely furnished home.
 The magic lamp was rubbed by the La Crosse post of the American Legion and the genii who responded were stone masons, bricklayers, car penters, electricians and other skilled members of the La Crosse building trades. Thousands of per sons came from La Crosse and miles around to see the wonder wrought
 The Greene home was destroyed with all it's contents few days be- fore Christmas while the family, which had barely escaped, stood outside and watched the flames. Fred Greene had served Is months with the A. E. F. He was married after the war. When the plight of his family became known among legionnaires things began to hap pen.
 Members of the post learned of a $100 mortgage on the lot and paid it off. Next they enlisted the aid of the building trades, the unions quickly consenting to give skilled labor. Gifts of lumber, sheathing, roofing. brick and stone, sash and doors and other materials came from all over La Crosse. Plans were drawn for a five-room house. Dili- gent skirmishing about town pro- duced sufficient furniture and household supplies. The Auxiliary got busy making curtains according to the window sizes given in the plans.
 A tent was pitched near the ruins of the Greene home, the materials were piled around and the Auxil- iary members prepared to serve hot food to the workers.
 The tent proved a godsend, for Sunday was extremely cold. The temperature was about above zero when the work began and after noon the weather became colder until the thermometer registered zero about the time the work was done. The workers washed down beans, spaghetti and doughnuts with hot drinks, warmed them selves a bit by the fire in the tent and went back to work. The 50-odd builders worked in shifts to keep the house moving at top speed to- ward completion.
