DEVELOPING ALASKA WILD LIFE

Report that the Capercaiie or Norwegian grouse may be introduced to Alaska will be welcome news to sportsmen especially those who enjoy upland olro shooting While the Territory abounds with game of various kinds fish and few varieties of grouse and ptarmigan it is not the natural habitat of pheasants quail prairie chickens and other upland birds such as are found elsewhere, thus the intro ouction of the big Norwegian grouse, Ii It proves successful will be an excellent addition to game bird shooting in Alaska.
 The giant Capercaillie is a native of the pine forests of Europe particularly dominant in Norway and Sweden They also are found in Siberia, and in the Scottish highlands where they have been re- planted in more recent years. The country in which they seem to thrive very similar to the forest areas of Alaska and climates comparable.
 Naturally it will be years before actual success of the venture will be determined as it is just in recent months that the Biological Survey and Alaska Game Commission have started negotiations with the Finnish government to get a shipment of the birds for the Territory. However in future years they may very well become a valuable part of the wild life assets of Alaska.

MAYBE ST. PATRICK WAS UP HERE

Alaska being land without snakes. it is barely possible that this is the country that St Patrick the patron saint of Ireland to whom some tribute IS paid today various parts of the world may have visited at some time in his more less legendary career Tradition has it, though historians appear to agree that it was flight of the imagination that Patrick drove the shakes out of Ireland It also IS recorded that he away somewhere to sea with group of Irish traders engaged in the export of Irish wo-dogs We ha the wolf dog in Alaska and no snakes Per hc5a. one of his vogasea to the north country.
 A tall tale of course, but perhaps no taller than some of the countless others which have grown up around the St. Patrick. virtually all of which discounted by modern historians
 Scholars who have delved into the history of the Irish patron saint appear to give more credence to the belief that St. Patrick born about the year 389, of deacon named Calpurnus, and grandson of presbyter, Pottus The place probably, they record was in the vicinity of Daventry, England
 Educated a Christian Patrick is said to have been imbued with reverence for the Roman Empire and Is started his religious work He is reported to have been carried away at least once by marauders and to have suffered bondage on Various occasions His evidently an intensely spiritual nature, and in addition to the qualities which to form strong of action he must have possessed an enthusiasm which enabled him to surmount all difficulties say historians. His importance ill the history of Ireland and the Irish church consists they record in the fact that he brought Ireland into touch with western Europe and more particularly with Rome. and that he introduced Latin into Ireland the language of the church. His work consisted largely organizing the Christian societies and in planting the faith in regions which had not yet come under the sway of the gospel.

A Job for Congress
lNew York World-TeIegram

(New York World-Telegram
 President Roosevelt and his leaders in Congress apparently have decided that the deadlock over wage hour legislation cannot be broken in time for action at this session.
 That being so, this to us proper time to start laying plans for enactment of that needed reform next year. The planning, in our opinion will have include something than political strategy of the type that has just failed It will have to reach into the problem, and out with something more concrete than the creation of another federal bureau cracy
 It was argued that the only way Congress could deal with the problem to set up federal board, or a federal administrator assisted by number of advisory boards and delegate the legislative power to fix wage floor and an hours ceiling. That argument was based the fac5 that Congress itself had not adequately explored interstate industries, and therefore not equipped inteligenty to fix wage and hour standards that would protect exploited workers and insure fair competition.
 But with Congress postponing action why shouldn't it use the one-year breathing spell to conduct a thorough investigation to determine what employ if any should be permitted between the North and the South and between large and small communities? After gathering the facts Congress then might have enough confidence in its judgment to set forth in law the specific conditions under which interstate industries shall operate
 We-considered legislation of this character we think, would be much more assured of enactment.
