In spite Of heavy deep snow con-
ditiOns during February and
March. that forced the elk and
deer Of the SkaIkaho bands out
into the lower open hills east OF
Hamilton, forest service game
checkers did not discover q single
loss In the elk herd Of the locality.
This was undoubtedly due TO mild
winter conditions that permitted the
game to wander freely, except Tor a
short period after March l when the
snow crusted as the result Of sub-zero
weather over a period Of about three
days. Coyotes had made kill OF seven
deer during the short cold period,
however.
Generally the deer and elk on the
Skalkaho game preserve came through
the winter in excellent condition. No
sick or dead animals, other than the
COYOTE kills, we're found. The cruSted
snow made it easy for the predatory
animals to run down the deer. Had
hard winter been the order, the story
might have been very different, the
game men said. Deep snow conditions
Evidenced a noticeable shortage in the
winter forage supply. Fifteen to 20 elk
moved in" on the ranches Of Z. Easton
and Paul Spannuth in the Gird's creek
area and attacked haystacks. Damage
was negligible, but the rancherS were
forced to move their stacks, lest their
livestock suffer feed shortage.
That the Skalkaho elk herd is size
able one is evidenced by the fact that
winter conditions this year were con-
ductive to obtaining one of the best
sight counts ever made of the herd. An
actually seen total of sos elk between
Willow creek to the north and Skal-
kaho creek to the south, were noted. In
addition, 1853 signs Of other elk that
stayed in the high timbered areas we're
OF the numbers actually seen
by the game counters on the Skalkaho
preserve 70 were bulls of two years and
over, 81 were spike bulls, 402 were COWS
and SO head were calves.
In addition to the Skalkaho preserve
count, it was found there were 214 head
Of elk in the area between Sleeping
Child and Rye creek to the south. In
formation on game counts made at a
later date in March for the East Fork
herd will come in a special report when |
Ranger H. H Harrison returns from a
special detail at the regional offices at |
h1issoula Special counts made on the |
upper Selway for the Idaho portion of
the forest are likewise in process of
Preliminary information
IS that everywhere in the Montana and
Idaho forests the game came through |
the winter in excellent shape, with /
little loss from predators and other /
causes.

the men for 81 900 bond each, which
was not made. They were removed to
prison at Cheyenne, Wyo., and within
a few months a jury heard their case,
spent 40 hours in elaboration and re-
turned guilty verdicts. Federal Judge
Riner sentenced each to two and a
half years In prison.
The case cost the government in fees
and mileage some $4,000, plus $500 to
park scouts who had shared in the
arrests.
The total loot from the six vehicles
had been less than 81 600.
But this was probably the only case
in all history where six vehicles had
been held up and their occupants
robbed, one right after the other, and
almost within sight of each other.

GRANT

The bill to extend the benefits Of the Metlakatla Indians Citizenship Act 10 Charles A. Ryan of Metla- katla, was ordered favorably re- ported February 10 by the House Committee on Indian Affairs
 Enactment of this bill would auto matically grant citizenship to MT, Ryan by placing him within the scope Of the Metlakatla Citizenship Act. This act, approved in 1884, granted citizenship to Indians born in British Columbia, who migrated to Metlakatla, Alaska, in 1887, and to all British Columbia Indians who joined them there not later than January l, 1900.
 MT Ryan was formerly a member of the Tsimshian Tribe and was born in British Columbia, but moved to the Annette Islands Reserve in 1923 and became a member of the Metlakatla Community. Since thai time he has resided in Metlaka tia and has been accepted by the na- tives of the community as a member

DELEBECQUE MISSES ONE
 BIG FORTUNE
Gilt Edged Opportunity 1 Elusive to Juneau
 PAA Agent

Louie Delebecque, Juneau agent for Pacific Alaska Airways, had Q chance to make small fortune, but he missed out.
 Delebecque returned to Juneau this morning on the Alaska after trip t3 vancouver and Seattle on which he conferred with company officials and attended the North west Air Conference at Vancouver with Joe Crosson, General Manager of Pacific Alaska Airways.
 The big chance to get wealthy that fell across Delebecques path was in the nature Of Fisher mems Vigilantes Policy Associa- ton One pays $l to aid that protection" of Alaskan fisheries from what" the prospectus does not say-and in addition to throw ing the dollar on the water wheel you also get a chance to share var jed portions of $40.O00-the pros pectus says so.
 It is claimed there is a Citizens Committee" which originated in AL aska (seems all of us have joined it) and now we" are raising a cash fund-the prospectus does not say what for but anyway we're supposed to be raising cash.
 Louie Delebecque could not find anyone connected with the worthy plan other than the friend who showed him the come-on sheets that had arrived via mail
 Anybody ever hear of the "Citi- zen's Committee, dedicated to rais- ing a cash fund-for something o" other?"

KARLuK K.RIyER FISHING

A house joint resolution was in- troduced in the House on FeDruary 9 by Representative Coffee of Wash ington, to make 1t unlawful to erect or maintain any dam. barri- cade. fence, trap, fishwheel, or other fixed or stationary obsuuc- tion in or within 500 yards of the mouth of the Karluk River with the purpose or result of capturing sal mon or preventing or impeding their ascent to the spawning grounds, or to fish for, take, or kill any salmon of any species by any means except by hand rod, spear, or gaff in the Karluk River of Alaska or within 500 yards of the mouth of the Kar- luk River
 Under existing law and regula- tions fishing is permitted up to a distance of 100 yards of the mouth of the Karluk River, 50 the effect of approval of this resolution would be to add another 400 yards to the zone in which fishing is prohibited. The bill provides that seines in use beyond 800 yards of the mouth of the river shall conform in length to the regulations of the Depart ment of Commerce. Provision is also made that this shall not apply to the taking of salmon for per- sonal use or for dog food by per- manent inhabitants of the area.

 The circumstances from which the claim arose are recounted in the following excerpt from the Com mittee report:
 Circumstances
 Among the many duties required of Alaskan school teachers is the care and upkeep of school property, In the afternoon of October g. 1927, the claimant. then Marie Frantzen, had gathered and was carrying fire wood into the sehoolhouse when she slipped and fell on the school house steps which were ice-c coated, breaking both bones of her left leg. Due to the isolation of Kokrines, her place Of duty, she was not able to secure medical attention for more than six months. except that per- formed by natives at her direction. ii the meantime she, of course, suf- tered constant eXcruciating pain, but continued her work from bed- side. Regarding her failure to file a claim for compensation with the Compensation Commission within the one-year period required by law, the Interior Department reports:
 Report Delayed
 Mrs. Mcdonald was the only employee at Kokrines, and there was no superior official stationed there to whom she could make a re- port of her injury. She did make a report as promptly as possible, in view of the isolation of the station and the infrequent mail service, to the district superintendent of schools
 "The claim was not, however, re- ceived within the time allowed and the Compensation Commission was obliged to reject it. although there appears to be no question that in- jury was suffered in line of duty. Mrs. Mcdonald is now permanently crippled, probably because of the unavailability of proper medical care. In lieu of the original bill awarding her $2,500 we recommend waiving of the time limitations which preclude consideration of her claim by the proper body, the Com pensation Commission.
 It is believed that the amended
