which are of general intercut, ns

"It is within the personal knowi
ng? of no?t of us that the wolves
in this part of Alaska are the prin
cipal enemies of deer and that they
are a constant menace to miners
and to prospectors and others whose
occupations lead them into remote
and uninhabited regions The wol
ves are increasing In numbers in
Southeastern Alaska it is very im
portant that a bounty of not lew
than $15 be placed upon them. We
therefore recommend that the legis
lative authority enact such a law,
"The law regarding furnishing in
toxicating liquors to Indians seems
to us inadequate and incomplete;
as It stands it provides for the
punishment of any person who
furnishes liquor to an Indian. In so
far we believe it is a pood law, but
we deem it an insufficient restraint
upon the furnishing of liquor to In
dians and recommend that It be sup
plemented by an enactment provid
ing for the punishment of the In
dian who receives the liquor."
