WOLVES, DOCS REAL MENACES, ARCTIC HERDS
Game Warden Collins Re- ports on Long Journey
 Through Far North

Although he found wolves less numerous in the Arctic region of Alaska than they are found further south in the Interior, wardrn-er old Collins, of the Alaska Game Commission, who returned to Ju- neau from the Arctic by plane from Fairbanks, declared that natives reindeer herds may well be exter- minated in another year or two if the wolf depredations along the Arctic coast continue unchecked.
 It is not that the wolves are so numerous, stated Collins because they are not so many that they would do any great damage if they killed only the number of reindeer that they require for food, but the wolves continuous marrying of the herds cause the herds to break up and scatter and become lost to the natives, many of them joining the caribou migrations.
 "It is probable" Collins said, "that the Eskimos themselves would kill nearly as many reindeer each year as do the wolves, but they would discriminate in their butchering to protect the females, whereas the wolves pick out the females for their attacks because they are fatuer.
 Wolf Pack
 "An Arctic wolf pack is not large, consisting only of from five to ten animals, appearing in most cases to be she-wolf and her pups, as a large number of young wolves have been killed. These packs, sleeping in the day and running at night, cover an immense range of country, because of the perfect condition of the snow in the Arctic for their travelling, and knifing, into herd, hamstring one or two animals each, concentrating on the females, then gash open the throats of the deer and eat out from the lower end, only the tongues. Once in a while the liver or other internal parts are also eaten.
 Repeated attacks of that nature soon break up the reindeer herds. That is the chief danger, as the carcasses left behind by the wolves are used by the natives. An Eskimo finding a slain deer first cuts off its head to signify his ownership. then leaves it to attract foxes, set ting traps around it, finally using what remains as dog food.
 Can Check Expectations
 That the wolf depredations can be checked is proven by the condi- ton of the small herd of reindeer, about three thousand, belonging to Tommy Brewer, one of the sons of Charley Brewer. well-known Barrow trader and whaler.
 Tommy Brewer and his family range their herd east of Barrow in the small area between the Chipp and Ikpikpuk rivers, always keep ing close herd on their animals by camping right with them. They have perhaps the finest herd in the Arc tic, their animals being in the best of condition, and they reported having had only 16 deer slain by wolves. And there are plenty of wolves in that country, about forty having been killed east of Barrow last summer. It is just that the wolves do not attack deer when men

REFERENDUM ON LIQUOR STORES
 PASSES HOUSE
Fish Trap MemorialiAmend- ed -WaterR Right Bill, Non
 Partisan Primary Lose

If the Senate agrees, the voters of Alaska may get an opportunity to vote at the next election on whether they want Territorial li- quor stores. By a margin of one vote, the Territorial House this morning passed the Anderson bill which refer to the people the ques-- ton of handling liquor through Territorial stores. The vote was nine for, six against an done ah- sent. The bill now goes to the Sem ate. "
 Some opposition, led by George Laiblin of the Second, arose to the measure on grounds that Territorial control, if the voters so decided, would eliminate revenues the Ter ritory needs and that it would prove too costly to establish Territorial stores in some of the remote sec tions.
 We have seen the 18th amend- ment come and go and the people that wanted liquor had it while the amendment was in force," MT. Lai- blin said T see this bill as step backward toward prohibition which it has been revealed a majority of the people do not want"
 Hits Present System
 j. P Anderson of the First, au- thor of the bill, declared that he believed the people could decide what they want and, rather than breed prohibition, he believed his measure would slave off any move in that direction He charged the present system was inadequate and could not be worse and that it was up to the voters to decide what they wanted.
 Victor Ross of the Fourth of fered the opinion that establishing liquor stores in outlying communi- ties would cost the Territory more than the revenues would be with the result that the major cities of the Territory would have liquor stores and the rest of the people in the outlying districts would have to do without or come to town.
 MT. Anderson insisted that the liquor problem was first a social one and that the social aspect should be considered first before the mat ter of revenue.
 "The liquor traffic always will be a problem" he said, "and I be- lieve the people are capable of judging what they want"
 Andrew Nerland of the Fourth remarked that the voters had elect ed the present Legislators, and "if they have m de some mistakes why not let them go ahead making them.'
 House Speeds Up
 Revealing a new burst of energy, l the House went rapidly through a long list of measures this morn ing The fish trap memorial was moved along to the third reading, probably to take it's place on the calendar tomorrow. with but limit ed debate One amendment, offer ed by MT. Nerland, was approved It eliminates the word honest from the paragraph referring to a living for fishermen. MT. Ner- land argued that the word insin- uated that other gear than traps might be considered dishonest. Ed Coffey of the Third, author of the memorial, said he intended the word be interpreted in it's broadest (Continued on Page Five)

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. IL Four groups of investigators are today seeking to learn from the twisted wreckage, raised from San Francisco Bay, why the United Ali Lines airliner, only seconds away from it's destination, crashed, car rying down three members of the crew and eight passengers.
 The investigators have no com ment to make but experienced pilots unofficially have advanced two the ories. One of the theories is that Pilot Tommy Thompson might have banked too swiftly in turning, caus- ing the right wing to buckle. The other theory is that he misjudgec his altitude over the water in tht darkness and hit the right wing ir banking.
 The investigators are United Ali Line officials, Douglas Aircraft Company officials, builders of the airliner; Department of Commerce agents and the San Mateo County Coroner's office.
 The body of Mark Fontana, 57 millionaire food manufacturer anc yachtsman, was found last night nearby the scene of the crash. He had removed his coat and trousers his shirt was unbuttoned and shoes united, indicating that he might have tried to swim for it.
 Pilot Thompson's death is de- scribed as due to drowning.
