ALAsKA's WOLF. COYOTE MENACE

One of the best indications that the reported wolf and coyote menace in the Territory is actual rather than as sometimes inferred imaginary is found in the report of Treasurer Oscar Olson the status of the various bounty funds
 Last week the Treasurer pointed out that of S8oOOO appropriated by the Legislature of 1887 to pay bounties on wolves and coyotes only s8O8O re- mains in the fund about enough to last month longer the Treasurer estimates.
 This means that by about the first of April SS' ooo will have been paid out in bounties for wolves and coyotes in approximately year and there will be another year to go before the Legislature conveneS again to take up the matter of appropriations At the bounty of S20 each it is revealed that 4O0O of the predators have been turned in for bounty during the last year or will have by the end of another month when the $8oOOO is exhausted. Incidentally. no part of the appropriation went to pay bounties owed from the previous bennum special deficiency appropriation having been made to cover that item which came to the si2eable amount of s45O00
 If the take of wolves and coyotes is as large during the rest this year and until the meeting of the Legislature in 1889 as it was during the past 12 months it is indicated that the deficiency will be another $50 O00 or total to the Territory in two years of S160000 Of course, it is probable that n- terest hunting the animals will abate considerable when becomes necessary for the Treasurer to issue receipts for bounties instead of cash the receipt holder having to wait for his money until the next Legislature votes deficiency appropriation to pay the bounties.
 But whether they hunted not, there is plenty of evidence to show that the wolf and coyote problem i5 real one in the Territory and dras tic ion may have to be taken to protect Alaska game animals f~, 9 depreciation of these predators
 During the last year, campaign has been under taken jointly by the Governors office Biological Sur vey and Indian office which according to reports, is getting results The local office of the Biological Survey has sent out about 000 worth of scent thus far trappers and reindeer herders to be used in trapping the offenders and considerable field work has been done in aiding the trappers in supplying equipment and instructions in using new methods of capture All of which doubt has resulted in ridding the Territory of lot of wolves and coyotes. But also it has helped naturally enough to exhaust the bounty fund.
 If it is revealed next year that the Territory has paid $80000 in bounties and obligated itself to pay a similar amount $160,OO0 in two years for wolves and coyotes, it may prove to be the time to take direct action with plan of wholesale eXterminaton with the aim of protecting of Aaskas greatest natural resources-its world famous wild life.

 The American ambassador to Britain Joseph p Kennedy. is author of the innovation His col league in the venture is American ambassador to Belgium, Joseph E. Davies.
 Kennedy is taking Harold B Hinton veteran New York Times correspondent with him to London. Davies will take Stanley P, Richardson an Associated Press correspondent with around the-world experi cnce. along to Brussels.
 It is the nearest approach Uncle Sam has come to the action of Germany, Italy Japan and Russia in maintaining trained newspaper men in Washing ton as the representatives of their official govern mental news agencies Britain and France have done so on less official scale Some of these news paper men have been known in Washington as the unofficial ambassadors of their countries,

 The Kennedy-Daves venture will mark the first time, however, trained newspaper men have gone to the capitals of Europe to act as assistants to the bassadors. The innovation has met with frozen dsdain from the men of the State Depart ment, who regard it as reflection their ability to furnish unbiased facual reports conditions abroad
 It was understood both Kennedy and Davies de- sired the services of a trained factgatherer to aid them in their assignments. Both Hinton and Richard son have had foreign newspaper service both boast international acquaintance with the diplomats and newspaper of foreign lands.
 Hinton served newspaper man In London, Paris and Berlin. He covered international confer ences in Paris, The Hague, Montevideo and Buenos Aires
 Richardson with Washington and New York background behind him served for years in Moscow He also has had experience in Europe with service in Paris Berlin and at Geneva.
 Both men know how to gather facts Both nave wide experience in determining public sentiment Each has circles of newspaper friends abroad Both will go abroad with thorough American background

Blonde of the Stetan Gta- ian) Agency and Matsui Kato of the Japanese Do- mel have gathered news in Washington for their home governments. Sell in particular has been called the unofficial ambassador of Germany.
