Deer Holding Their Own.

The ratio of bucks and does is about
% per cent bucks, 81 per cent does and
43 per cent fawns of both sexes. At
present, eliminating fawns, the mature
deer run 40 per cent bucks and 60 per
cent does. The average yield per doe
is liz fawns per year. This figure is
taken from game authorities who have
made study of this phase of wild life.
It is thus seen that the increase per
year is just slightly in excess of the
annual kill by all factors. This increase,
however, is offset, because in this
country as a general rule about once
in every five years there is winter
of much greater severity than normal,
which results in much larger winter
kill of the deer, thereby reducing the
increase.
The survey shows that ON the aver
age the deer in this area are just about
holding their own over a given period
of years.
The range conditions were examined
and winter grazing found to be ade7
quate for the present number of deer
now Wintering in this area. However, If
the deer herd were to be increased very
much, it would soon result in an over
grazed range on the winter concentra-
ton areas which would be very detri-
mental to the range and result in large
losses of deer from starvation Nluring
the winters of more than average
severity
Parasites Not Serious.
Nineteen dead deer were examined
for parasites and disease, and three
deer that were in very poor and
weakened condition were killed for ex-
animation with the following results:
Of nine complete examinations made
of deer, one had no parasites, four had
wood ticks, four had footworms, three
had deer tick flies, five had bot-fly
larvae, three had biting lice, one had
tapeWorms, four had tapeWorm larvae,
three had liver flukes and one had
lobar pneumonia This condition is not
as serious as it appears atnfirst, how
ever, because it is to a parasites adj
vantage not to kill its host, consequent
ly only those individuals that carry
parasites in excessive numbers die
from that cause. Only very low per-
centage of the herd as a whole are
thus infected
None of these parasites are injurious
to humans except, perhaps, the tape
worm larvae. They are usually found
attached to the liver and living off
the abdominal cavity, and only oc-
casionally in the muscles of the throat,
shoulders, and hams. They appear as
round white globules about the size of
marble. The livers of the deer Of this
region should be carefully examined,
because a high percentage of them are
infected with liver flukes. Their pres
ence is indicated by small, dark, round
spots on the surface Of the liver. This
parasite if eaten, however, would not
be injurious to humans. All parasites
are killed when the meat is well
cooked.

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
NEWS.

Plans for the observance of Poppy
Day here on Saturday May rs, are
under way.
The American Legion Auxiliary pop
pies will be distributed by workers
from the American Legion Auxiliary
We will be able to give everyone in the
city an opportunity to wear poppy
on Poppy Day
The enthusiasm of our women for
the Poppy Day project is due to the
two great purposes which the little
memorial flower achieves. First, it pays
tribute to those gallant young men who
sacrificed their lives in defense Of
American ideals on the poppy -studded
battle fields of France and Belgium
Second, it raises funds for the relief
and rehabilitation of the living victims
of the war, the disabled veterans, their
families and the families Of the dead.
We are hoping that the people of Eu-
reka will understand the significance
of the popv and give us their support
on Poppy Day

 The North Star is still unloading cargo.
 Six hospital beds are ready for the stricken members of the colony when they can be taken from the transport.
 A hilarious hearty greeting await ed the remainder of the colonists when they landed.

p POPPY DAY IS ] DESIGNATED BIZ
 MAYOR OF CITY
Proclamation Issued Setting May 25, Day to Honor
 World War Dead

Saturday, May 25, was proclaim ed Poppy Day in Juneau in proc lamation issued today by Mayor I. Goldstein.
 The proclamation urges all citi- zens to honor the World War dead by wearing the American Legion and Auxiliary memorial poppy on that day, and to aid the wars liy- ing victims by contributing to the Legion and Auxiliary welfare funds. The proclamation follows:
 ''The City of Juneau, during the great crisis of the World War sent forth it's sons in response to the nations call. They served gallantly in the nations defense, and of their numbers some were called upon to lay down their lives in that service. The memory of their patri- otic sacrifice should always be held dear by the citizens of Juneau
 others of these brave young men were called upon to sacrifice, not life, but the health and strength which makes life worth while. Their families and the families of the dead also were required to make heavy sacrifices. These disabled and dependents are still paying the ifss- man price of our nations World War victory.
 ! From the 5cc........-, .s..ont in France our returning soldiers brought the poppy as the symbol of sacrifice and the memorial flower of the dead. Each year on the Saturday before Memorial Day the men of the American Legion and the women of the American Legion Auxiliary ask us to wear this flower in tribute to the nations fallen defenders and to give in exchange for the flower a contribution to aid the wars living victims.
 Therefore, I, I. Goldstein, Mayor of Juneau, urge all citizens to hon. or the dead and aid the living by wearing the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary memor- ial poppy on Saturday, May 25. And to that end. do hereby proclaim Saturday, May 25, Poppy Day in the City of Juneau
