Extra Wolf Trapping
Activities Help Deer

Wildlife Agent Hosea Sarber last
Clarence strait and Snow Pass sec
lions in which time he visited sew
eral wolf trappers on the way.
Wolves are taken under permit
issued by the Alaska Game Commits
sion and some of the trappers, he
states, are doing some real good. as
the wolves are being taken in num-
bers that will very appreeiably aid
in conservation of the deer.
One trapper, George Engelman,
ready taken eleven wolves in one
area, employing mostly sets using
scent as bait. The scent, as made
and distributed by the Game Com
mission, has proven very effective
in taking these predators.
This scent is furnished free of
charge to bonafide wolf trappers
and may be obtained from any wild
life agent in the various districts.
Many trappers, Mr.. sarber says.
are making greater effort to take
wolves this winter, spending their
time in this form of trapping while
the season must remain closed on
the furbearers, and with the bounty
at $40, they are finding that it
pays them far better than they had
expected.
It is believed that the extra wolf
trapping activities this winter will
have a real effect on the control of
these predators

FAIRBANKS - Voluntary con

the Mayor and council at their

Guy 7. Turnbow. sales manager of
the lumber company, explaining
that although it was outside the city

In Lieu of Taxes
The company's contribution was
in lieu of taxes, figured on its hold

An important source of infor-
nation to the Game Commission Is
the Form ACC No. 46 Report of
Licensed Hunter or Trapper", Wild
life Agent Hosea Sarber said this
week.
The information contained in
these reports is valuable in assist
ing the Commission in its job OF
administering the land dwelling
birds and animals of the Territory.
I'VE have always had some diff
ficulty," said Mr.. Sarber, lin getting
hunters and trappers to send in
this report that is issued along with

ways handled this matter as an ed
ucational issue rather than through
straight enforcement, though failure
to submit this report is violation
of Section II of the Act"
Licensees, Mr.. Sarber explained
are required to send in this report
whether or not any game has been
taken in order that the Game Com
mission records may be complete,
and though they have until July 80
to submit this report, 1t is appre-
ciated when they are submitted as
soon as possible after their field
activities are finished.

Family Gathers Honor
Mothers 10th Birthday

On the occasion of her birthday,
Saturday, December "a, Mrs. Jen-
ME Lewis was the honored guest at
surprise birthday dinner at the
home of her daughter, Ave. n u
Carlstrom.
At long table centered by a
huge birthday cake on which 10
candles cleaned, 81 persons, who
included the children, grandchildren
and other relatives of Mrs. Lewis,
were served a full course turkey
dinner. After the dinner she was
presented with many beautiful
gifts and tokens of love and ap-
probation.
Mrs. Lewis, or Grandma Lewis,
as she is generally known, first came
to Wrangell in 1886 as the bride
of William Lewis, whom she met
while both were students at Che
mawa Training School, near Salem,
Oregon. Both were members of Che
mawa's first graduating class and
had the honor of having their names
enclosed in the cornerstone of that
school
For the first ten years of their
married life Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
divided their time between Wran-
CELL and Fletcher's Bay in Washing
ton, Mrs. Lewis's childhood home.
Since 1896, however, Wrangell
has been their permanent home, and
until Mr.. Lewis's death eleven
years ago both were active members
of the community. 1t is interesting
to note that Mrs. Lewis, whose So
prano voice was heard in many early
Wrangell concerts, was soloist in
several benefit performances which
helped to build Wrangell's first
streets other than the one main
thoroughfare which the town boosted
and which is now the business por-
tion of Front street.
In the fifty-two years of her resi-
dence here, death has struck Mrs.
Lewis's immediate family but sell
dom. Aside from her husband. those
taken have been a son who died in
infancy, and two grandchildren, who
also died in their first year of life.
Today Mrs. Lewis is surrounded by
the love of a large family. including
a sister, Mrs. VIM. Taylor, broth
er, VIM. Fletcher, her six children,
seventeen grandchildren, of whom
all but two live In Wrangell, and
one great grandchild, little David
Byrd.

FED. BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION
DISCOURAGING

L. B. Chisholm, as secretary of the
Wrangell Chamber of Commerce,
telegraphed Delegate Anthony J.
Dimond this week inquiring as to
the status of the harbor dredging
project and construction of a new
Federal building at Wrangell.
The delegates reply, dated at
Washington December 81 follows:
while in Seattle I conferred
with Colonel Wild, District Engi-
neer, and Colonel Lee, Division of
Engineers, about harbor improve
ments at Wrangell and strongly
urged favorable consideration. The
only question. as I understand, is
one of cost since it appears that a
reef exists necessitating heavy and
expensive work for harbor extern
sion. I still hope for favorable con-
sideration but in no event can we
expect early action since Congress
must first approve the project and
then appropriate funds.
"I have also urged prompt action
on construction of the Federal
building but owing to the vast
amount of work in the procurement
division I am told that plans for
the Wrangell building have not yet
been even started and that it is not
feasible to adopt the plans of some
other building without further
study.
Apparently there is no chance to
start construction this winter and
probably not before next fall but
I am assured that the building will
be constructed at the earliest pos
sible date consistent with other OBJ
legations"

ORATA EXPORTS
MINK BREEDERS
NORTH JAPAN

X. Urata has reservations made
for passage on the Mt. Mckinley to
Seattle Monday night, where after
a six-day stay he will sail for Tokyo
Japan.
MIR. Urata has permits to export
80 of his choice breeding mink but
will probably take considerably less
than that number. They will be
consigned to northern Japan to
form the nueleous OF a new mink
farm which will be managed by
his brother-in-laW.
Mr.. Urata plans to return to
Wrangell next May. He has COM
pleted his eleventh season as a mink
farmer at Wrangell Starting with
a few breeders of Yukon mink, by
intelligent care. he has developed
the Urata farm to high efficiency.
His pelts have consistently brought
top prices on the raw fur markets
and he has been outstanding In the
success he has made of the venture.
During his absence his son Jack
Urata, who is staying home from
the University of Washington this
year, will have charge of the
farm.

and the good Commissioner sent Mr..

When Wingard got to Wrangell
delegates were informed that to
"avoid confusion or controversy the
hearings will be held on the fisher
les boat Brant." Some of the dele
gates unable to climb down the lad
der refused to go aboard; others
felt that in-as-much as the hear
ings were public that they should
be held in an open hall. After con-
siderable discussion, Mr.. Wingard
graciously agreed to step ashore to
hear the delegates.
Why does Bell have to be blud-

"There are two theories of gov
eminent that have been contend
ing with each other since govern
ment began. One of them is the
theory which in America is associ-
ated with the name of a very great
Hamilton. A great
man, in my opinion, not a great Am
erican. He did not think in terms
of American life.
Hamilton believed that the only
people who could understand gov
eminent, and therefore the only
people who were qualified to con-
duct it, were the men who had the
biggest financial stake in the COM
mercial and industrial enterprises of
the country.
That theory. though few now
have the hardihood to profess it
openly has been the working theory
upon which our government has
lately been conducted. 1t is aston
ishing how persistent it is. It is
amazing how quickly the political
party which had Lincoln for its
first leader-Lincoln, who not only
denied, but his own person so COM
pletely disapproved the aristocratic
theory-it is amazing how quickly
that party, founded ON faith in the
people forgot the precepts of Lin
coin and fell under the delusion
that the masses needed the guard
ianship of men of affairs.
Who have been consulted when
important measures of government
like tariff acts, and currency acts,
and railroad acts were under con-
sideration? The people whom the
tariff chiefly affects, the people for
whom the currency is supposed to
exist, the people who pay duties and
ride on railroads? Oh, NO! What
do they know about such matters?
