AIMED AT WOLF CONTROL

Rangers in the Mckinley National Park hereafter will be allowed to kill wolves Supt Harry J. Lick nounces the National Park Service has adopted new policy aiming at wolf control program No attempt will be made to rid the parks of woves but rangers will be permitted to say such of the marauders they may encounter
 Alaskans everywhere will be delighted to hear of this attitude behalf of the federal authorities. Heretofore wolves have been allowed to roam at will through the park It became virtual sanctuary and breeding ground for the outlaws They not only prey ed on the fine wild game of the park but also overran the borders and carried their haowed haven Boun-
 ties provided for destruction of the predaors in other parts of Alaska were rendered waste and mockery.
 The national park service and other authorities should be congratulated taking their initial step in the wolves and it is to be hoped they will not stop with this sepauthorizng rangers to say the out laws but will direct systematic and determined cam- pagn to slay drive every wolf and coyote from national park and sanctuary. vigorous campaign the part of others in authority to extermnate the wol and coyotes from Alaska likewise should be launch ed immediately.
 The caribou moose, reindeer and other game anim- als killed by hunters in Alaska, say all authorities not drop in the bucket compared to the destruction wrought by wolves and coyotes. Moose, caribou and reindeer should form natural of food supply

ANOTHER YEAR HAS GONE BY

Today marks the last day of the year 1886 and an- other encouraging period for Nome and this part of Alaska commences. During the past twelve months Nome has greater increases in its principal indus try-mining-than for many years It has seen better business activity Its population has increased. It has school building costing nearly $90OOO, pro- vided through the PWA.
 In many ways Nome is better city and its citizens better situated than thousands of others in other parts of the Territory and the States
 The year 1886 has seen many queer things happen throughout the world. and also in Alaska. Nome has also experienced exciting events Aviation has played small part in the progress made by Nome and Sew ard Peninsula, toward the further development of our great natural mineral resources.
 The vista for 1887 looms clear and inviting Great activity in the mining fields surrounding Nome is an actual certainty for next spring. New fields open ing up throughout the Kougarok and other large pro- ducing areas Altogether, Nome has brightening future which dispute, and which everyone should realize The cry of no business interest money, no work should have place here. We should face the facts that Nome is headed toward brighter days and prepare to take part in the increase of pro- sperity as it arrives
 The Nome Daily Nugget completes the year with Volume 37, Mo- 3O9 Its next publication will be Jan uary 2nd when the Volume Mo- will be 38 and issue Mo- l. No issue will be published New Years Day.
 In this regard let repeat at this time that the Nome Daily Nugget is the oldest newspaper in Alaska carrying publication in city, despite the state ments made by any other paper
 Other papers have claimed the distinction of be- ing the oldest paper in Alaska still in continuous pub- caon, but they have at different times been out of publication in transferring to other cities, and have not continued the paper in the city where they originally commenced business The Nome Daily

Nugget is also the farhest Northwestery newspaper in the world.
 Through all the years of it's existence in Nome, the Nugget has sought to advance the best interests of the community and the territory in which is dir ecy circulated toward the further development of the rich region surrounding Nome. It wishes everyone Happy and Prosperous New Year and that 1887 shall greater peace, happiness and goodwill among na- tons of the world, well as the people of our own sections

CAPITAL LURES LAW ENACTERS
 FROM OLD LIFE

WASHINGTON, July 10. - The errort of Senator Carter Glass of Virginia to make Washington a bet ter city in which to live emphasizes that many members of Congress spend more time here than in their home states.
 The matter is important because only because of the influence the Washington environment may have upon the individual legislator.
 Top flight members, those who have places in the national or in- ternational spotlight, often find that once they get back home they are rather out of touch with the busi- ness which in Washington occupies most of their time.
 Most concede they are eager for this home period, usually in sum- mer and fall, for two reasons para mount to others. They quite frank ly want rest among the home folks and they face the necessity of keep ing their party followers contented
 HURRY BACK TO CAPITAL
 But once they have achieved those two ends, the large percentage push plans to return to the capital
 Those who cut big stretch in party organization or in shapino important legislation state openly they can't do their work away from the capital. Contact with fellow legislators by mail is less effective than to stroll down a corridor and drop in on colleague to discuss plans for bill.
 It becomes apparent in time that some have become national figures quite removed from strictly home state influence.
 There is another factor which attracts many members in some form or another-the capitals social life. Not infrequently those who have spent long years in Congress find their best friends are in the Sen- ate or House or among Washing ton residents rather than back home.

zation of the army" phrase which army men believe will result in in- vestigations of nationalist propa- ganda in the rank and file
 The third proposal is the reduction of the period of military service from two years to one.
 Premier Pierre Etienne Flandin put the two-year service into effect with decree and his successor, Pierre Laval put it into law.
 War Fears Seen Handicap
 It provided for two years of ser vice from all the war baby" classes in which the number of conscripts dropped as the French birth rate fell from 1914 to 1918.
 Both Socialists and Communists fought the bill and the Peoples front, or Union of Left Wing Par ties, went into the elections demand ing the lowering of the service to one year.
 Army men believe nation wide fears of war will prevent Blum s government from reducing France S armies, but the bitterness of the "one year campaign threatens to re- appear and force the Premier to carry out his promises.

NEED FOR SMALL
 BOAT HARBOR IS OUTLINED HERE
Col. H. J. Wild Hears Ju. neau Interests Present
 Arguments for Facilities
Continued from Page One)

of harbormaster, water, lights and such expenses. Several hundreds of boats operate out of Juneau, the Mayor stated, but few of them stay here in the winter due to lack of berthing facilities.
 One of the things a small boat harbor would achieve, he stated, would be the establishment of a boat ways here and ultimately a boat building industry. There are no ways here, he pointed out and boats larger than 30 or 40 feet are required to go to Ketchikan and Se- attle for overhauling.
 Lacks Docking Space
 Capt. James Davis, of the Davis Transportation Company, stressed the need for docking facilities, pointing out that his two boats, the EStebeth and Roedda, dock wherever they can and are re- quied to move subject to other traffic at the docks. While he uses the Pacific Coast Dock most of the time, if large steamers come in he has to vacate, he explained.
 Capt. Davis said it was not a matter of where the boat harbor should be located but that one should be built, and adequate to accommodate the shipping in and cut of Juneau.
 J. A. Williams, Assistant Gen eral Superintendent of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, in the absence of General Superin- tendent H. L. Metzgar in the south, presented a written statement ex- blaming the A. Us need for the site now occupied by the Lower City Float.
 Many others were to be heard during the afternoon.

 IN HAYNES AREA
Juneau Syndicate Leases Property to California
 Concern for Operations

Plans for placer mining operations in the Klehini Valley, near Haines, this season are nearing completion and it is anticipated that a dredge will be moved into the district in short time, it was reported here.
 The Klehini River Dredging Com pany, a Juneau syndicate, which has 62 claims in the district, has leased the property to the Pan-American Engineering Corporation of Berkel- ey, Calf, and that organization is soon to send an engineer into the field and it is expected he will be followed by actual operations as previous engineering reports have al- ready revealed pay dirt
 Base of operations will be at Pleasant Camp, Klehini Valley, tri- butary of the Chilkat about 42 miles from Haines.

SOME EXCEPTIONS

There are exceptions, of course. Certain home loving members from New York and other nearby eastern and southern states spend few week ends in Washington.
 Senator Glass, who lives in the Capital much of the time wants the city less noisy. He has quarters high up in downtown hotel. In the past month or so he has made a contin- ual round of appearances before city and congressional boards trv- ing to get legal silencers on noisy newsboys, fire sirens, street cars and auto horns.
 He hasn't made much progress yet But Senator Glass has fought long battles before-to a successful conclusion
