The proposed change in license
feee due for consideration in the
nresent session of the legislature,
-SbouId be of great interest to all
Mo1faha sportsmen Few conSer-
walton minded folk are opposed to
the suggested raise in resident
licenses but wide diversion Of
opinion prevails regarding the pro-
Der fee for nOn-residents.
Wyoming in 1916 charged non
residents, citizens of the United
States 500 for a general hunting
and fishing license, with extra
charges for permits to hunt. ante
Iope. moose and mountain sheep
In as this same state charged nom
residents $25, as compared with
the states long standing charge Of
$50 Included in privileges of the
general licenses are: one elk, one
deer, one bear (black or grizzly,
small game and fish.
Idaho has a similar $50 general
charge for non-residentS and re-
,uuires export tags of 81. Utah has
a SIS charge for nonresident deer
hunters: Colorado charges SIS for
"A nonresident big game license on
which the sportsman may kill either
,oDe buck deer or one bull elk.
He may also obtain an additional
license at the same cost on which
he IS allowed either a buck deer
or bull elk, but the animal on the
second license must be of the 9th #
snecies than the one on the first
license. In other words, for $50
IN licenses both a buck deer md
"a bull elk may be taken but not
TIVE animals Of the same species
In certain sections of the state doe
and cow elk seasons are also open
ed, the sportsman being allowed
IF he has the corresponding reg
ular big game licenses) to secure
permits at $5 each for killing one
doe and one COW.
Nonresident small game and
fishing licenses each cost an extra
SIS.
Charges similar to the foregoing
Are made in Washington, Oregon,
and South Dakota. with the hunter
having the choice Of hunting deer
for about S25 Ok both deer and elk
for am approximate $50
Taking tin costs for hunting in
other states into consideration, it
would seem that Montana would
be justified in a general license fee
of $50 to include, deer, elk and
bear and possibly goats (where
open Seasons) and small game and
fish, without mourning any loss of
nonresident sportsmen especially
IL the state allows a special deer,
or deer and bear license for SOS
or $50. Such a raise would be not
at all exorbitant and any sports
man who is unwilling to pay a fair
price for good hunting, should not
be welcomed to our game fields
welcomed to our game fields
However, charges for a general
big game license Of SIS, 500 or
greater are altogether too high if
we wish to have outside sports
men hunt in our state. Should we
wish to keep them out, then we
should have such charges which
would certainly send non-residents
10 other states or across the line
into Canada There is no question
however in the minds of those who
have hunted as non-residents in
other states but the present low
charge of $50 for elk deer, bear
and goat is entirely too low for
proper maintenance of our game
herds.

 WILLIAM ]. MUNz

Wunam 5. Munz was born in Portland, Oregon, on July l2, 1909. He received his early education in that city and lated moved to Ellenburg, Wash, where he was graduated from high school. Avia- tion having taken the States by storm. Bill became interested in flying during his last year in high school, learning to solo and build ing up his hours for a commercial license. He did not, however, take up flying as a means of livelihood, but preferred to follow contract work for several years. In 1894 he joined a gold mining venture and sailed north to Seward, where he placer-mined on Kenai Peninsula for three years.
 The lure of yellow metal ever drew him northward, where some time later he found himself mining on the Seward Peninsula and, due to isolation, it became necessary to have some means of transport ing equipment and supplies to his mine north of Nome. MT. Munz purchased a plane to take care of his needs. This, however, proved so popular with his neighbors that they persuaded him to operate a non-schedule air service, which be- came the forerunner of the Munz Air Service, founded in 1888. While flying in and out of Tell er,. MT Munz became acquainted with an attractive Alaskan girl, Miss Wilma Bernhardt. He finally induced her to become his wife. and tEey were married July 20, 1924, in Candle. When in l945 they took a delayed honeymoon trip to the States, it was Mrs. Munz' first trip out of the Terri tory where she was born.
 A flying sportsman, Bill is an expert wolf hunter via plane and Mrs. Munz is also an enthusiast with a wolf to her credit. The idea is to shoot a wolf from an open plane window while flying and such a feat requires unusual skill. While this type of hunting can only be done in clear weather during the spring breakup tusually April and May) he has accounted for as many as l3 of these preda- tors in one season. His catch ot seven wolves in single day via plane probably stands as record in the Seward Peninsula.
 With the Munz Air Service oper- ating throughout the Arctic, it was only natural that the Republican Club of Nome should select its popular owner as a likely candidate 10 run for the Territorial Sen ate, although he had no previous i legislative experience. This he did, and was elected to represent tke Second Diyi2ion, where he is fully conversant with it's prob lens and needs. Mrs. Munz ac- companied her husband to the Eigh- teenth Legislature, and together they find Southeast Alaska inter esting and enjoyable.

Strong south winds all week, until Friday afternoon, have made the waters of Lynn Canal very rough.
 Capt. Clarence Gildersleeve, the skipper of an army power barge, arrived in port about noon Thurs day. He brought two Army engin- eers to check ACS equipment at Eaines and Skagway. They pulled cut again about o'clock in the afternoon. Capt. Gildersleeve was in Seward when the news of the wrecking of the Yukon was receiv- ed and left immediately with his large for the scene of the wreck. He arrived just a few minutes after the boat had broke in two and pulled those laundering in the icy water out and gave them treatment aboard the barge. He also at tempted to tie up to the wreck, but 20-foot waves caused his lines to snap repeatedly They finally ef- fected the removal of passengers by flashing two rubber boats together and pulling them back and forth between the wreck and the barge.
 The Elks held their monthly dance last Saturday evening and quite a few brave souls faced the cold to attend and enjoy a very pleasant evening.

U. s. Has Power To Make Peace

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (P)-War- ren R. Austin, chief U. s. delegate to the United Nations declared to- day that "the United States, with half the productive power of the world, has decisive power to ere ate the conditions of permanent peace"
 Making the first formal Ameri- can pronouncement on the new Soviet proposals for atomic con- trol, Austin said in a commence ment address at Massachusetts In- stitute 0: Technology:
 Tt may be that we shall make little apparent progress for some time to come in these (atomic ne- gotiations and in the related ne giations on the regulation and re- duction of conventional arma- ments. But even if this proves to be the case, continued study and discussion will, Tn themselves, I am certain in the end, bear fruit.
 Commenting on the new Rus sian atomic control plan offered Wednesday at Lake Success by Soviet deputy foreign minister Andrei A. Gromyko, Austin said all the 'basic disagreements" re- main unaltered, but expressed hope that progress could be made.

 A chamber spokesman said the opposition apparently arose from one member of the brotherhood in Juneau, who wired Bartlett in April demanding that half of all timber sale revenues be turned over to Alaska Indians.
 Other Brotherhood leaders did not approve such demand and seem to favor the proposal, on which hearings are being held be- fore a Washington Senate com mittee, he said.
