Kinney went down to a count of
nine before coming to his senses
and when he got up on the tenth,

It was a dramatic bout for the

BUFFALO
 HERD THRIVES IN
 INTERIOR COUNTRY

Without including this years increase, Alaska's buffalo herd, which makes its home near the conjunction of the Little Delta and Panama River, is estimated to num- Der at least sixty animals, by members of the Alaska Game Con- mission force. Count of the large, but elusive animals has been at tempted both from the ground and by airplane, but an exact check up is difficult as they are among timber growths where it is im- possible to accurately count them, Alaska Game Commission officials state.
 The herd. which numbered 8 when it was first imported into the Territory in June, 1928. from its native Montana, is considered to have thrived beyond expectations It has not only survived one of the coldest winters on record in the Interior, but also one of the heaviest snowfalls and the increase to sixty or more, is considered fa- yorable. H. w. Terhune, Executive Officer of the Game Commission stated.
 Dick Perkins, pioneer in the In terior and formerly cattle ranger in Montana, was the chaperon ot the cumbersome beasts from theil native state to the Interior, wher they were first brought north Frank Dufresne, Game Warder
