MOOSE CONTEND FOR right of way wt th Alaska
RAILROAD
According to a story appoaring in the
Forty-Ninth Star, the moosp arc rather
numerous on the Alaska Railroad tracks.
The story runs as follows: (Cut for space)
"North of Anchorage between Natanuskn and
Broad Pass where tho snow fall'has orcceod
cd all previous winter records, spreaders
and sr.ow plots have boon in constant oper
ation to keep tho tracks clear. Quito a
lot of time has boon spent by the section
men in skinning the numerous noose killed
by tho trains ir. this area. —Noose neat
salvaged fron these unavoidable accidents
is shipnod to the Homo in tho Woods Hos
pital in Seward, It is a customary sight
is this area to see a train going down
tho track proceeded b~ a half-doaon noose
who refuse to leave tho hard, straight and
narrow pnah'-of the rails for safety in
tho tundra on either side of the tracks.
The only enemy tho noose has is the wolf.
Nr. Wolf being lighter and snallor u*es
considerable tact when he tries to kill a
nooso for a noose carries a death-dealing’
blew in each of its four cloven hoofs. Hr.
Wolf therefore endeavors to chase the nooso
into deep snow drifts or soft tundra areas
where his leg or hoof'action will be hen
pored. —"’her. the big,snorting, screening
locomotive chases Nr. Nooso, ho still re
sorts to his old and only nethod of dc-.
fehse-by keeping on a hard smooth surface."
