ALASKA'S WELFARE
ON OUTLAW ANIMALS
W th reports pouring in
from all parts of Alaska af
devastation of reindeer and
caribou herds by hordes of
wolves and coyotes, refresh
ing news comes in the an
nouncement of Sam White,
flying game warden of the
Alaska Game Commission
with headquarters in Fair
banks that he has been suc
cessful in a degree in locat
ing wolf bands and coyotes
with the aid of his plane.
Likewise it is pleasing to
know that James Wadman,
expert exterminator of pre
datory animals, now here,
has scored a big kill of coy
otes after Mr. White point
ed out the vicinity of their
den after having sighted
the marauders from the air.
Hunters, trappers and
other outdoor Alaskans
have been thwarted in
their efforts to cope with
the invasion of coyotes and
the increase of wolves. The
plane now comes into the
picture with a promise of
becoming an important fac
tor in extermination of the
predators.
Pilot King of the Nome
Kobuk area, recently re
ported having seen numer
ous wolves in the vicinity
of reindeer herds where the
outlaws had worked havoc.
King, it is understood, flew
low over many of the wol
ves and expressed the opin
ion afterward that with a
gunner in the plane it often
would be an easy matter to
cut dowm the animals with
shot guns. Here is an idea.
If the authorities be suppli
cd with funds to send out
planes with gunners and
equipment the work of ex
termination of the vandals
may be speeded up many
fold.
The bounty of $20 per
head on wolves and coyotes
is now paid by the territor
ial government.To increase
the bounty or add to the
fund for a more extensive
campaign would require
legislative action — some
thing for coming members
of the next legislature to
think about. It has been
suggested that while the
erritory finances such work
the proposed airplane war
fare be administered by the
game commission through
its wardens and other desig
nated agents in cooperation
with hunters trappers and
others who may be interest
ed.
Until 15 years ago the
coyote was an unknown
denizen of Alaska. Driven
out of the northern States
and forced northward from
the Canadian provinces by
intensive settlement he in
vaded the Yukon and then
poured over the border into
Alaska. Multiplying rapid
ly and thriving with every
large rabbit cycle the coy
ote—a hundred per cent
marauder and destroyer of
game—is now a growing
menace.
With the coyote conting
ent added to that of the
wolf, these wild life gang
sters are now destroying
annually hundreds of thous
ands of dollars worth of
fine food and fur bearing
animals of the Northland.

gade or a squadron of army

and render a genuine ser
vice while shooting off
these desperadoes of the

In any event, the whole
situation deserves some
more intensive and organ
ized action. If Alaska is to
preserve her game and fur
animals she—with aid of
the federal government—
must wake up and carry re
lentless warfare into the
ranks of the enemy—not to
morrow but today—not at
some convenient season,
but in this hour of emer
gency. — Fairbanks Daily

Louis out, but I’m sure I
can defeat him. I regard
him as a very good fighter,
