WOLF TRAPS
We read with interest in yesterday Nome Nugget of
the arrival of the Alaska Game Commission’s vessel
"Brown Bear" in Juneau, with 1200 wolf traps and 40
gallons of scented bait ingredients. The distribution of
these as far as the Second Division is concerned will not
occur until the North Star trip late in the fall.
The cry for aid against the wanton depredations of
the roving sub-Arctic and Arctic wolf packs reached
the pitch of desperation more than a year ago. Two
years ago the Territorial Legislature raised the bounty
on wolves from $15.00 to $20.00 in response to the
hundreds of appeals to do something to stop this grow
ing menace. The bill for the past two year period was
$40,000.00. but this vicious condition is still with us and
does not appear to have been retarded.
Two men were finally sent a year ago to investigate
the frantic appeals of the reindeer owners of the far
North. One, Mr. Gubser, sent from Idaho by the Bio
logical Survey, the other Game Warden Grenold Coll
ins, by the Alaska Game Commission—now one year
after Mr. Gubser’s arrival in Kotzebue and months af
ter Warden Collins tour of the Arctic Coast, the traps
are in Juneau.
ine territorial legislature is powerless to act in
this vital matter, except in the contribution of funds.
The actual direction of the campaign of extermination
is in the hands of the Alaska Game Commission, which
in spite of its name has no connection with the Territor
ial government, but is a branch of the Bureau of Biolo
gical Survey, which in turn is a division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. You can thus see the reams of
red tape to be cut before this campaign of extermina
tion will really become intensive.
Criticism, unless constructive, is never welcome.
We suggest with due temerity, that the one way to ef
fectively rid the Second and Fourth Divisions of these
voracious killers is by the use of properly equipped air
planes.
The Alaska Game Commission has a fleet of costly ves
sels. used in the First and Third Divisions in protecting
wild life and enforcing the game laws. There is no
good reason why this branch of the Biological Survey
cannot be equipped with a sufficient number of planes
to protect our caribou, moose and reindeer herds, and
other forms of wild life, from these killer animals that
have, and are, taking such an appalling toll.
AIRSHIP RECORD NOT IMPRESSIVE
Again the world is shocked by a terrible air disaster.
I he great German zcppelin Hindenburg has crashed in
flames while attempting to come to a mooring at Lake
hurst, N. J., after a stormy crossing of the Atlantic.
Many of the 100 passengers and crew who were aboard
are dead and others badly burned. It is evident that
the ultimate death toll will be large. Cause of the dis
aster probably never will be definitely established.
Safe as air travel by airplane has become, there is
mounting evidence that the larger airships are far from
reaching safe and successful operation. In this coun
try we have lost the Shenandoah, the Macon and the
Akron. Zeppelins have crashed in other countries

less lives have been lost in efforts to develop this mode
of air transportation. And the result is not favorable.
It may be that engineers will in time perfect them
to the point where they are as safe as the average air
plane. But in the meantime, it would appear that if
the millions spent in constructing these great ships
were expended toward establishing air lines and de
veloping further the smaller, safer and faster airplane
with which we are all familiar humanity would be bet
ter served.—Juneau Alaska Daily Empire.
