North Country will soon be depopulated by
animals? Poisonous slaughtering all game
Settlers ask government to interfere
Dawsjn, July ltS-Phil McGee Udown
from above Uoss river, oo the Felly,
and relates a wierd story of a circle of
deaths in that d'strict.which he declares
destines to dtpopulate the country of
all wild animals and bints unless put a
stop to by the police.
The birds, he says, are poisoned. They
drop out of the trees with their litl! car
casses S'.ied with the strychnine ?nd are
eaten by ho small laud juimals. These
in turn die and are eaten by the larger
animals and these in inru by still larger.
Finally the bears eat the smaller anl
rails and then the woives, the scaven
gers of the forrest, come along ami eat
the bears.
Thus through a great oircie the
slaughter of the innocents goes forward
all occasioned, he says, by the practice
of putting poison indiscriminately for
fur animals. He says:
"The men doing the dauiag.- call
themselves trappers, but they are not.
They nre just poisoners. They scatter
everywhere poisoned bait lor marten,

WEIRD TALE
of which there are mighty few left In
the country. They began early last fall,
aiul already the destruction is enor
111 jus. The birds spy the bate, placed
in exposed piacvs and Qy dowu to it.
Then commences the cycle of disaster,
showing the enortuons amount of poison
placed in the bait. Often from the re
mains left within a radius of a mill the
entire tragedy stands revealed,
fhrough a circle of Ave to fifteen deni
zens of the forests the thing goes on.
Already the country is becoming a wild
erness, and cannot become repopulated j
jnless the poisoning is stopped. The '
prospectors up there asked me to call
she attention of the authorities to it.

Pioneer Alaska resident pictures territory as
a coming mecca for tourists? All the coun

I F. T. Keelar, the Alaska Money
King, accompanied by his wife, left

I I he largest taxpayers of Skagway, and

F. T. KEF.LAR
"Yesterday a young man showed me
a postal card he was sending home. He
?ras a tourist and had purchased s.ome
souvenir cards and on ti e one he
showed me he had written "Most
Godforsaken town of shucks I ever
si\v." The card bore a picture of
Skagway. While the boy's message
does Slcagway an injustice there is nc
question but that there are a large
number of o'd shacks in town
that should be torn down. They are
eyesores and dangerous in the event a
conflagration shoull start. The city
council should see that tbey are re
moved. The trouble wi'b Alaskans
is," he continued, "they make money
too easily and look for riches in but
one direction? gravel gold. They for
get that the forests are possessed of
fortunes in the way of timber; that the
waters teem with fish that cou'd be
I marketed; that the coal deposits are
practically virgin; that do attention is
paid to the raising of cattle, and over
look the mountains that are covered
with currants, blueberries and rasp
berries which could ' be canned and
would yield fortunes. The people here
are too much inclined to take things as
they see them and those outside kr.ow
nothing of Alaska conditions, because
the country is not advertised.
"1 am as certain as I am of anything
that the time will come when, afte
being properly advertised to the world
the tourist travel will yield a princely
income to its promoters. People flock
to the Catalina Islands and spend
thousands to catch a Jew fish; eastern
men of wealth pav thousands of dollars
to get to shook a deer in Montana and
the benefit Colorado gets from tourists
who go to see Its nature wonders runs
into millions, but the game of Montana
is not to be compared with our moun
tain sheep, bear or caribou and to place
Colorado scenery with ours is to say
dross Is gold. Yet the people outside
do not know and we make no effort to
enlighten them. $3,000,000 is being
spent on New Hampshire sanitariums
for consumptives who will sleep all
year out of doors. Is there any place
in the world where they would do
better than right here? The air is
tracing, the climatc dry and no where
is there water like ours. 838,000,000
a year is yielded by travelers in the
Alps to look at bights that are not half
so grand as a trip up our inland water
courses and over $100,000,000 a year
given by people seeking just such con
ditions for health as we have here and
yet they do not know. The day will
come sometime when flyers will make
Skagway from Seattle in two^days,
glaciers will be reached by trolley and
nature's wonder places will be dotted
with monstrous tourists inns but that
will be when Alaska's attractions are
spread before the world. If we adver
tise the country and let the people
know, they will do the rest."
