Zach brought a number of sam ples of what the elk eat. Willow twigs, elderberry bushes and the tender new growth of bracken fern seem the preferred fare.
 We are concerned about their winter feeding" said Nelson If the herd remains in the same place, browsing will be a problem. And, because the passes through which they would have to move to a better feeding ground are high, it does not seem likely that they will migrate
 The herd was sighed scarcely two miles from the village of Afognak, on a good beach along the pro- tected channel.
 Ne.son mentioned the possibility If opening Afognak for limited ! hunting. There are about 50 un- [ necessary bulls he said, and there l is 10 need for more than the range can support So it would seem loglcal that they be utilized. Con- alteration might be given to limit cd hunting, by lottery, as is done in Montana and South Dakota Observations on Afognak showed that the rabbits planted there took well, and that there are no deer. Red squirrels were introduced this year.
 Flying ever the region, the ob- servers were fortunate enough to see two Of the few deer on Kodiak Island Six were introduced there Q few years ago. The herd ill the Kenai National Moose Range look ed to be good.
 The discussion of numbers of animals seen was continued over the Barren Islands, a sea lion rookery, where there must be sev- eral thousand"
 The expedition had a double break: In perfect weather for fly ing and observation, and in luck with their work, finding the herd concentrated and easly observed.

IF FHE pAnkA COULD
 WHAT lS iT!l

If Edward L. Keithahn, curator of the Territorial Museum, were to author a mystery yarn, he might title it, "The Case of the Uniden- tified Parka'
 Keithahn will welcome clues lead- ing to further information about this recent Museum acquisition.
 The parka was purchased from Mrs. Gertrude Jensen of Portland Ore, a descendant of Alaska pion- sers. It was brought from the Arc lie many years ago, Mrs. Jensen wrcte. The owner, lecturer, left it, with another parka, at the home of a friend, Mrs. Collista Bowling Of Portland. Nothing was kcard of him since.
 Mrs. Jensen says that none of the authorities questioned has seen a parka like it, or can identify it..
 Of the numerous parkas. Keith ahn has been asked to examine, ncne has the type of decoration of this one. He considers it val uaL.e addition to the Museums col lection.
 Here is Keithahn's description: It is a mans parka, sewed with sinew composed of gray wolf hide and black wolf hide, with sleeves of lynx. It is decorated with two woll tails and two lynx paws, and suings cf early trade beads. The heed is wolf's head The parka icoks to be at least 50 years old, and seems to be Arctic Indian work rather than Eskimo.
 All right, Sourdcughs, who can identify it?

 "At that time he continued, there were about 15o elk; last wee. we estimated the herd at 211. Something must be happening to them.
 Nelson, with Larry Zach, forester, and two Anchorage FWS represen- tatives, found the herd concen- rated at the south end of the is isnd. on the narrow shelf along Raspberry strait.

BUTTON FINED $3.50
OVER SHOOTING
ARRAY

After q Trial OF more than two
days, the jury last Friday brought
in verdict finding Alex Dut.on
guilty of assault and fixing pU>n-
ishment at a fine of $3.50. Dutton
was charged with manning New
ton Mullins when he interfered in
a squabble between Mullins and
his wife in September. buttons
testimony was the high light OF
the trial. He left the witness box
and virtually pleaded his case to
the jury His attorneys have
made motion to set the verdict
aside, and the court will hear ar
guments On this motion at an
early date.
The suit of Estelle Moore
against Grace Foreman and Bes-
sic Kennedy has occupied cir
cult court during the first half Of
the week. It appears that about
two years ago Estelle Moore sold
a stock of merchandise to Grace
Boreman on time. The buyer sold
or traded part of the stock to
Mrs. Kennedy. At any rate, Es-
telle Moore alleges that she was
paid only a small part of the
amount for which the merchan-
disc was contracted. The suit ap
pears to be a three-sided piece Of
litigation in which each of the
women involved is opposed by
the others.

KATSIKAS MAY RETIRE
ON MINERS PENSION

Theodore Katsikas, Clinchco
miner, will probably be the first
Dickinson County member of
the UMWA to retire with t h e
monthly pension of 500 a month
from the union welfare fund.
He has made application thru
the district office of the union at
Norton and has been told that his
claim appears certain of passage.
This miner came to Clinchco
when the mines first opened
there and remained in steady EN-
ployment until a date late in 1945.
Being disabled, he moved away.
He returned to work in the mines
a few months ago but was recent
ly cut off on account of a recur-
renee of his disability.

$14,112,00O FOR VIRGINIA
SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Virginia could get $14,112,000
in federal aid for school buildings
under bill which Senator A.
Willis Robertson will introduce
in the next Congress.
The measure will provide for
an outright grant of three humid
red million dollars and a like
sum for loans to the states at a
very low interest rate. The money
would be divided among the
states according to school age
population. State authorities
would distribute the federal mon
ey for education without any

MINERS RELEASED
IN FAMOUS
CARFAX CASE

The case against Union miners
charged with trying to kill state
policeman Williams at Carfax
last summer came to tame con-
clusion last week.
Douglas and Allen Hale plead
ed guilty to the charge in circuit
court of Wise County. Judge
Morton gave them a jail sentence
and then suspended it. Charges
of manning and robbery against
Arthur Hall, Fred Hall and Will
liam Davis in connection with the
Williams affair were dismissed.
1t appears that policeman Will
Jams tried to arrest the men,
following a report that union min
ers were causing trouble at Car
fax. The papers carried reports
that a small army of union min
ers had ganged up on the police
man and tried to kill him. A sus
pended sentence nearly always
means that a compromise has
been agreed on and that the case
has proved too weak to bring in
to court.
