1,200 Wolf Traps,
Bait, be Dispens
ed In Territory
EQUIPMENT WILL BE USED
TO COMBAT WOLF AND
COYOTE MENACE IN
ALASKA
Twelve hundred wolf traps and
forty gallons of scented wolf and
coyote bait materials arrived in
Juneau on board the M.S. Brown
Bear, Alaska Game Commission
patrol boat, recently, for distri
bution among private trappers
throughout Alaska.
Wolves and coyotes are scatter
ing death and destruction among
furbearers, game and domestic
animals in practically all parts of
the Territory. The Territory of
Alaska, the Bureau of Biological
Survey, the Alaska Game Com
mission, the Reindeer Service and
the Indian Service are all coop
erating with funds and personnel
in a widespread campaign to con
trol these destructive beasts.
The last Territorial Legislature
appropriated $15,000 for coopera
tion with Federal Agencies in
the control of predatory animals
in Alaska. Five thousand dollars
i
of this appropriation was set
aside as a revolving fund for the
purchase of approved steel wolf
and coyote traps for resale to pri
vate trappers at cost. The traps
just received are the first to be
purchased from this fund. They
are heavy, well constructed traps,
more than twenty-two inches
long, with an eight inch jaw
spread, designed especially for
catching and holding large Alas
kan wolves.
In order tnat these special wolf
traps may be readily avaiable to
predatory animal trappers in all
parts of the Territory, arrange-,
ments have been made to distri
bute them through the Alaska!
Game Wardens. A supply has
been shipped to the warden at
Ketchikan. Petersburg, Seward,
Anchorage. Fa.rban/cs, Fort Yu
kon, McGrath and Nome. A con!
signment will also be sent north!
on the Indian Service supply ship’
North Star for distribution at con,
venient points in the Arctic Cir-!
cle, where wolves are wracking j
I
havoc among the reindeer herds.
Trappers interested in these
traps should communicate direct
; ly with their nearest warden.
^The traps may also be inspected
:or purchased at the office of the
! Alaska Game Commission, Jun
!eau, Alaska.
The shipment of scented bait
materials comes from stock pre
! pared by the Bureau of Biologi
|cal Survey in Idaho. Final in
j gredients are being added in Jun
! eau to make the bait ready for
immediate use. Plans are now
under way to prepare much larg
er quantities of the bait materials
at Juneau and Fairbanks. At
! the present time, the scented bait
|is being distributed from Juneau
only. Private trappers may se
cure a supply of it by writing to
Harlan H. Gubser, District Agent,
Bureau of Biological Survey, at
Juneau, Alaska, or by calling at
the office of the Alaska Game
Commission.
A bounty of $20.00 is paid by j
the Territory of Alaska to private
trappers for each wolf or coyote;
taken.

Social Security Board
Juneau, Alaska
JUNEAU. Alaska—As an indi
cation of its claims load for 1937,
the Social Security Board has an
nounced that approximately 323,
634 persons or their estates will
be eligible tb.s year for lumpsum
or death payments under the Fed
eral old-age benefits plan of the
Social Security Act, and that
about $6.000,0(H) will be paid in
these benefits.
The Br aid aiso announced that
8-tl claims for lump-sum benefits,
had been received in the Wash
ington. D C . office for adjudica
tion as of April 9. The Board
explained that many more claims
are pending in its regional and
field offices, where they are re
ceiving necessary attention be
fore being forwarded to Wash
ington.
Lump-sum payments, the board
stated, will be made to persons
in covered employments who at
tain the age of 65 and to the fam
ilies of those who die before they
reach that age.
The Board estimates that, dur
ing 1937. for each person in cov
ered employment, who attains
the age of 65, two others will die
before reaching that age. Thus,
the Board explained, about two
“death" claims are expected to be
riled for each “alive" claim.
The Board said the number of
daims filed during 1937 may not
equal the estimated number of
persons eligible because, where
fmaLl» amounts of money have
aeen involved, some of the per
sons eligible have not filed a
:laim. The Board expects that,
is the amounts of money increase
ind as the claims procedures be
:ome more widely known, the
lumber of claims will increase
;ach month during the year.
Claims already filed, the board
said, range from a few dollars
■ach to $105.00
Claims forms and assistance in
executing them, the Board stated
are avaiable at any of its 12 re
gional and 116 field offices now
open at various points through
ut the United States. Forms
may also be obtained at the
Board's office in Washington,D.C.
As the claims load increases,
the Board states, new field offices
will be opened, until the maxi
mum number of approximately
400 offices is established.
Lump sums now payable am
ount to 3 lb percent of the total
wages received by the individual
in covered employment after
1936. Lump-sum payments are
