COYOTES SUFFER DEATH
 FROM PORCUPnE QUnLS

Coyotes about the head of Lake Kenai are working havoc among DOT eupine. and the porcupine in turn are playing hob with coyotes. ae- ording to reports coming in from residents of that district, states the seward Gateway.
 Lester Gossage, who has caught 4nd shot several of the marauding 5easJs, finds them perforated with tne deadly quills about the mouth and head
 Coyotes bounce upon the prickly Htlle animals every chance they get slaughter and gorge them regardless of the torment they must suffer in the process. But their real suffering comes later, and it is believed that many of them pass out as a result of the penetrating quills.
 There are very few young coyotes seen, and the reason for this is at tributed to porcupine quills, the lit tie beasts not being able to with stand their vicious effects as ably

Mysterious Accident

His jaw broken, his lip cut deeply and his face generally bruised, Wal ter Crick well known oldtimer of the Fairbanks area, was admitted to St. Joseph's hospital. The accident occurred at Harry Badgers ranch Il miles south of Fairbanks. Crick, who lives with Badger, went out to do some chores. About 15 minutes later he was found wandering about with blood streaming down his face. He was talking incoherently and when questioned as to what had happened replied, nothing" The assumption is Crick went to the barn and was kicked by a horse and that the shock was such as to drive from his mind all memory of the occurrence.

WOLVES WORST THIS WINTER
 HE HAS SEEN SAYS WARDEN

T have lived in Alaska 15 years but have never seen wolves as bad as they are this winter" Sam O. White, Alaska Game Commission warden said in Fairbanks recently.
 T am constantly hearing about wolves now" he added. "No one comes out of the hills but has plenty ti say aboot them. They are making heavy inroads, especially with reference to caribou and noun tain sheep. A few days ago I was talking with prospector from Yanert Fork who observed 12 noun tain sheep kills and one moose kill from Dean Creek down Moody Creek to the head of Colorado.
 Similar depredations are report ed from all over the country The closest wolves have come to Fair banks, so far as we knoy, was few weeks ago when they killed dog on the Hoffman ranch on the farmers road, only a few miles from here. It is well known of course, that wolves regard dogs as a delica- cy and many instances have been re- corded where they came right into camps and took dogs from their chains"

536 CONTRABAND BEAVER
 SKINS SOLD AT AUCTION

One of the largest seizures of contraband beaver skins ever made by a game warden in Alaska has been declared forfeited to the gov ernment and ordered sold by the AL aska Game Commission.
 The skins 536 in number, were recently declared forfeited by the district court at Anchorage after no one appeared to claim them. The skins were found in a cache last June by Hosea Sarber, deputy game warden in the Bristol Bay area, They were cached on the Mulchat- na Riper, IS miles above the mouth of the Kakhutal River
 Officials said the skins were ap- parent1y purchased over a long per iod of time from trappers who had more than their legal limit of bea- yer. A trapper under present rules is limited to 10 beaver and those who catch more in defiance of the law usually sell the excess to buyers of eontraband furs.
 The skins were placed in the GUS tody of the game commission some time ago.

 Peters Creek Profitable
 Installing a dragline after hy- draulic equipment failed because of shortage of water, the Peters Creek Mining Company made gross profits of $111, ,00O last season from it's op- erations 65 miles north of Anchor age. This fact was brought out at the annual meeting of the mining company held recently in Spokane, Wash. An initial dividend of 20 per cent or S12,500, was declared. The number of stockholders Is 125, ot whom 90 per cent reside in the Spo- kane area. John l.

PWA Applications

Formal application for a PWA loan of 225,O00 for use in the con struction of a new grade school building in Anchorage was sent re- gently to Governor Troy by the city council. The government grant on the loan would cover $101,250, which would make the cost of the building S123,75O to Anchorage. The action was taken after a petition signed by more than 40O citizens was presented by a delegation from the Anchorage Woman's Club, and a res olutiOn urging the project was pre- sented by the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce. Mayor H. E. Brown pointed out that the application for the loan would not obligate the city financially but would merely safe guard the citys interest so that An chorage would be sure to be elegible for the federal grant if any such funds are made available to Alaska. PWA applications should be made early as they are considered in or der of their filing, according to Ross A. Gridley, PWA engineer for AL aska.

DENTISTS TO STUDY PERFECT
 TEETH OF KIPNUK NATIVES

Dental research dealing with causes of the perfect teeth of na- tives living In Bethel, Hooper Bay Nunivak and Kipnuk will call Dr. T. J. Pyle, head of dental activities of the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the Westward this week. states the Alaska Daily Press.
 Dr. Pyle plans to leave Juneau aboard the P. A. A. Electra for Fair banks as soon as weather conditions improve and will proceed on to Bethel where he will meet Dr. L. NJ. Waugh of Columbia university. The two dentists will then launch the second year of experiments design ed to determine the cause for the perfect teeth of natives of that re- zion.
 Working on the theory that the addition of sugar to diet is respon- sible for the majority of dental de- ficiencies, pr. Pyle and Dr. Waugh will continue a careful study of the natives diet.
 In the Nunivak and Kipnuk re- gions where the doctors will tray el after completion of work near Bethel, are to be found the only people on the American continent with perfect teeth. A thorough study of their summer diet will complete surveys already made on on their diet for the winter, and will form the basis for possible flu ture dictates to the civilized world on what is and what is not correct.
