RANCHING OF MUSK
 OXEN POOR WAY OF MAKING LIVING NOW
Fish and WiIdIife Service Makes Official Report
 -Gives Reasons

WASHINGTON, July 26-LR- The Fish and Wildlife Service says musk oxen ranching is a poor way to make living.
 The agency, after years of study, found these things wrong with the ungainly Arctic beasts:
 1. Their slow rate of reproduc- ton. They don't reach maturity until they are four or five years old, and the cows breed only in alternate years.
 2. Their delicate health, despite their bulk. A cold climate animal, they do not thrive in temperate zone. They cannot be clipped like sheep because they are so readily subject to pneumonia.
 3. The taste and texture of their flesh. It's edible hut not as good as beef or mutton.
 4. Their disposition. They hate everybody all the time.
 After years of study, the service has concluded that it is imprac- ticable to raise musk oxen as a farming or commercial enter prise.e an agency news release said
 "At the present time there arc not sufficient animals available III Alaska to warrant their removal for experimentation"

ALASKAN CITIES
 VIE FOR SITE OF
 CHURCH COLLEGE

Pleased with Alaskan cities re- sponse to plans for a Methodist college in the Territory is the Rev. P. Gordon Gould, director of Meth odist work in Alaska, who stopped here today enroute from Anchor age to Ketchikan.
 Many communities have said This is the Place. according to Rev Gould. Response has been extremely encouraging, but no de- cision will be made on the matter until later this fall following a meeting of the church central con- mittee at Philadelphia, Pa."
 The Rev. Gould recommended an active program for supplying vital information on this community te Pthe committee which will make the choice of the college location
 He said that several communities are preparing briefs on their cities outlining the advantages. which they hold as a site for the college Main questions which will he con sidered in determination of the site are available land, accessibility to Alaskan youth and the support of the community.
 An excellent presentation of Jul neau's advantages has already beer prepared and presented to tht church leader by the Chamber ol Commerce.
 The Rev. Gould left this after noon for Ketchikan to stop for g few days before returning to the States.

RELIEF FUND IN TERRITORY K SET
 AT THIRTY DOLLARS

The Territorial relief fund has been cut according to statement made today by Henry A. Harmon, Director of the Department of Public Welfare.
 In his statement, Harmon says the General Relief program which is financed by Territorial funds is established to take care of the needs of persons who are unable to earn a livelihood in consequence of immaturity, sickness or physical infirmity.
 According to a recent interpre- tation by the Attorney General, no relief payment from General Re- lief funds may exceed $50 per in- dividual per month for any purpose exclusive of medical or hospital care. This $50 maximum per indi- vidual per month applies therefore to subsistence needs, such as food, shelter, fuel, and clothing, or board and care payments for adults or children.
 In strict adherence to this re- cent interpretation of the law, it is necessary for the Department ot Public Welfare to limit many of the important services which come under the General Relief program The $50 limitation obviously will not permit the Department to pro- vide the necessary living conditions for many needy persons. Indivi duals living alone, and children de- pendent upon the Agency for foster care payments will he most affected as their needs cannot possibly be met within the $50 maximum. The Department of Public Welfare re- ccgnizes the effect of this restric- tion, but is required to adhere to :! Territorial laws and their interpre- tstion in the administration of the program. Apparently only legisla- |, tive action can solve present con- ditions.
 1 These policies which the Alaska Department of Public Welfare must follow have been of great concern to many people in the Ter ritopy. The Department will, there i fore, keep the people of the Ter ritory informed on the various
 activities and policies in relation /; to the General Relief program. Ii is hoped that this publication will
 answer many of the questions
 which heretofore have come I through letters and personal con-
 tact to the District Welfare offices

rays, often thought to be large

thrill. We remember one we

Hard rains throughout the Po-

make it punishable for several
days and the same probably is
true of the Shenandoah, where
many anglers had planned to open
the Virginia bass season yester-
day. However. mountain trout
streams undoubtedly will be-
greatly benefited by these rains
as their waters were entirely too
low and clear for good sport, un-
less one likes to catch trout the
hard way. The run-off In noun
tain streams usually is quite rapid
and q strong backlog of seepage
water has been built up which will
stand them in good stead for some
time.
