BELIEVES PRIVATE TRAPPER
 BEST

Encouraging results which have been noticeable in the last few years in the campaign against predatory animals will be materially better now that bounties have been increased, in the opinion of H. H. Gubser, leader of the control work being carried on in Alaska on a CO., operative basis between the Ter ritOry and the United States Geological Survey.
 MT. Gubser, now in Fairbanks, places much dependence on pri vate trappers in the campaign against wolves and coyotes. The size of the country precludes any possibility, he believes, of placing a large number of hunt CTS in the field. Such action would be extremely costly and would probably not work out any better than the bounty system, he holds.
 Coyotes have drifted clear to Point Barrow on the Arctic, Mir. Gubser has been advised by Mr. Charles Brewer, veteran resident of the Arctic. Last winter a few coyotes appeared at the mouth of Stony River on the Kusko- kWim. Reports obtained by MT. Gubser on a trip to Ruby which he has just completed show very few coyotes were observed along the Yukon during the winter months.
 MT. Gubser will be here until sometime next month making lure for distribution among trappers who desire it. Circu- lar letters giving scent fOrmu- las are being sent to every trap per in the country.
 Since the inauguration of control work in Alaska" he said, ''tEc numbers of wolves and CO., votes offered for bounty have

28, the number increased to D. 161; and up until December 31. for the years 1929-30, there were 2,O22 presented, an increase for the last year of more than 88 per cent over the earlier years as a direct result of the past four years cooperation with the private trappers.
 During this time there has been an unprecedented scarcity of all rodents, ptarmigan and grouse with espondirg scarcity of fur animals. While the predatory animals have ur- doubtedly not suffered as great ly from scarcity of rodent and bird food, yet their decrease is noticeable in most localities. IL must be borne in mind however, that during the past two years the coyotes have spread over a much greater area in their quest for food.
 'When their foor,, supply again becomes plentiful, they will in all probability increase, as also will their usual characteristics depredations. Any good that may have resulted from their temporary natural decrease will doubtless be more than offset by extended depredations over the much larger area to which they have migrated.

HE INDIANS were great highway

school Of Journalism, University of Montana
HE INDIANS were great highway
engineers. The mountain passes
over which they made their jour-
neys and the river routes which they
adopted for their passage through the
valleys were afterward accepted by the
trappers and traders as the most con-
venient course for their movements.
This was natural enough. The trappers
had practically the same impedimenta
that the Indians carried. the Indian
trail was just what they wanted. The
packers followed and their trains
moved along the paths which the In
dians had blazed and which the trap
pers had beaten deeper. With the ex-
ception of here and there a difficult
mountain crossing, these trails served
the purposes of the freighters when
the heavy wagon succeeded the pack
horse as a means Of transportation.
When, yet later, the governments en-
gineers came to survey routes for the
highways which had been established
by congress, they sought in vain for
a better place somewhere than the ones
which the Indians in the experience of
long travel had selected. Nor were the
railway surveyors able to improve upon
this selection; the lines of steel which
now span the continent stretch along
the lines of the old Indian travel of
generations ago.

General Scott told of his work in
keeping Smoky" Wilson, negro, in the
service of the department of interior.
The negro, who has been in the service
for so years, vas about to be let out
due to old age. Approaching the work
done by him among the Crow Indians,
with whom he has lived for 60 years,
the general appealed to authorities at
Washington and succeeded in having
his friend retained in the service at
the Grow agency. The retired army Of
ficer said Smoky Wilson had almost
raised the younger generation on the
Crow reservation and has been a loyal
and faithful servant for a half century.
General Scott, who directed the work
at Browning last year to record the
Indian sign language came to- Montana
last summer for the specific purpose
of direction of the recording Of the
sign language in moving pictures.
1--WE proved that the sign language
is understood among the tribes of the
buffalo country" said the general, in
referring to the demonstration. THE
motion picture films will record for fu-
ture generations a language that has
played an all-important part in the
development of the plains area. I will
interpret the stories and conversation
recorded at Browning for a sound reel
and the two will be synchronized for
a talking picture"

takers at Browning saw a Sarcee In

ton. The Sarcees originally came from
the Peace river country, according to
the general. They broke away from q
far north tribe years ago.
While in Great Falls the general con-
ferred with Lee M. Ford of the Great
Falls National bank, who has for many
years searched out buffalo kills and
collected arrow heads. Mr.. Ford in
formed the general that there are four
or five Of these old-time kills within
a short distance of Great Falls and
many arrow heads may be found below
the top surface of the soil. A buffalo
kill is a trap used by the Indians to
drive buffalo into for slaughter. Some
of them are located at a cut bank.
where the animals piled up below and
were killed, while others we're more like
corrals where the buffaloes were cor
nered and killed with arrows.
At each Of the kills in this vicinity
may be found the guide marks of COR
rails, according to Mr.. Ford. These vary
in height from four feet to a few inches
and sometimes extend back on the
prairie above the trap for miles.
General Scott said that in most OF
the kills the Indians selected a place
where there was a rolling prairie In
front of the cliff. An Indian would lie
down behind these knobs and kick his
feet in the air to attract the buffaloes
and lead them to the place of slaughter.
The general asked many questions re-
garding the material Of which the ar
row heads we're made and the corrals.
He said he had seen many Of them in
tween the kills used by different tribes.
