Moose Sighted on
Douglas Island;
Leave Them Alone

Hunters were cautioned today by
the Alaska Game Commission that
several moose cows and calves have
been sighted recently on both the
north and south ends of Douglas
Island.
Cooperation of hunters is asked
so that the moose, strangers in
those parts, will not be unduly dis
turbed killing of any of the new
population will be prosecuted Wig
orously, Executive Officer Frank
Dufresne said.
The moose are believed to be an
overflow from the Taku Valley and
possibly from Lemon Creek and
Eagle River. No bulls have been
reported on the island. Local resi-
dents are diligent in guarding the
moose from harm.

liams, former director of the line,
and w. A. Sherman, jr., of Ash
Grove, was named at recent mass
meeting sponsored by the Com
muters' League to ascertain the
possibility of local company being
formed to take over the line, which
suspended service Saturday at mid
night.
Mr.. Cobb says Mr. Lanes offer
does not include the rolling stock of
the line. which would have to be
purchased for an additional $500 for
each auto railer. Further, Mr.. Cobb
said, Mr.. Lane would expect cash for
the rails with mortgage on the bal
ance based on the right of way and
rails for period of five years.
The figure, Mr.. Cobb explained
includes s225 500 for the steel and
$55,000 for the right of way Mr.
Cobb said there is no possibility OF
leasing the line.
A large number of persons are ad-
versely affected by the closing OF
the auto-rail line, which first started
as an electric trolley line in 1896
and operated continuously until
Saturday night. Many of the per-
sons living between Vienna and
West Falls Church are not accessible
to a year-around hard surface road
Likewise, more than 10 school chill
dren will have to find other means
of transportation.
Unless sufficient funds can be
raised at once to take up Mr.. Lanes
offer, Mr.. Cobb said it appears the
line is definitely doomed.

LADY LAYS DOWN SOCKS;
BANGS OFF PRIZE SPORTS
QUESTION FOR RADIO SHOW

A Sank Centre housewife, who
apparently reels off intelligent
sports questions as nimbly as she
darns the family socks, was three
dollars richer this week and had
a lot of fun in the deal. All be-
cause she listened to the radio, re-
sponded to their asking for ques-
tions to use on the program.
Friday evening at $3.50 when the
Sportsmen Special program, with
George Bradley, former head of the
Minnesota Tourist Bureau as mas
ter of ceremonies, comes over sta
ton WCCO, Mrs. Andrew Sorenson
will be listening to the program
and for her accepted question. Just
what the question is couldn't be
learned. "Oh, I'm not telling that"
she responded.

game but it was so cold I didn't
CO." she explained how it all came
about. II was doing a little fanci-
work on the family socks and lis
tening to this program. When they
asked for questions for which they
were paying three dollars, I got a
bright idea"
For the price of a three cent
postage stamp, Mrs. Sorenson en-
tered her question, reaped three
dollars for the family Golfers, a
nice letter from the sponsors, a
duplicate deal for a local dealer
and "a lot of fun"

Arrests Up 40 Per-
cent Over Last Year

st Paul--Increase of more than 40
per cent in arrests and more than
Sc per cent in gun seizures up to
Oct. q, this year, over the CORES
ponding period last year, were re-
ported by the game and fish division
of the state department of conser-
walton early this week.
Up to that date 70 shotguns and
% rifles had been confiscated from
hunters caught violating the game
laws, according to- the records of
]. A. Lingle, warden supervisor.
In the same period last year, war
dens seized 38 shotguns, II rifles
and one pistol.
The arrests reported by the war
dens to Mr.. Lingle up to Oct. 81,
this season totaled 1853, as COM
pared with 1923 last year up to the
same date. Since more than three
weeks remained Of the duck season
on that date, and quail shooting
had not started, it Is expected that
the number of arrests will mount
considerably before the hunting
season closes this year.
