That the buffalo brought last
summer from the States and
liberated near McCarthy are
thriving in their new home is
the word received at Fair
banks. The herd was seen near
Jarvis Creek about two weeks

fine condition then. A further
investigation is to be made to
ascertain if all the buffalo are

1 together and if all are able to
forage for themselves. A1
though they came from a coun
try very similar to their new
range, there was some doubt
whether the buffalo would be
able to make their own living
during the first winter and to
be on the safe side hay was
taken out from Fairbanks for
distribution, if necessary. How
ever, the reports indicate that
little, if any, of it will have to
be used. The Delta country
was selected for range pur
poses because stage horses
were successfully wintered
there in the days before the
railroad was built. The exepri
ment is being watched closely
by all those interested in wild
life in the hope that, where
there is almost no limit to the
range available, there may be
built up a buffalo herd exceed
ing in size any in the United
States.

The restoration to the public
domain of five of the largest
islands of the Aleutian Island
Bird Reserve in the near future
is indicated in reports received
in Juneau from authentic
sources. This is the culminat
ion of ten years of effort on j
the part of governors of Alas- j
ka serving during that time
and, it is said, as a result of
the visit made to the Territory
last summer by Paul G. Red
ington, Chief of the U. S. Bio
logical Survey. The islands
which it is proposed to elimi
nate from the reserve are Um
nak, Unalaska, Akutan, Sanak
and Tigalda, the last named
including a few other small
islands adjacent. This will
leave all of the Aleutians west
of Umnak in the reserve, but
they %re largely of rocky form
ation and not especially desir
able for any industrial pur
poses. On the islands to bo
eliminated there are many
areas suitable for stock rais
ing: and on some of them herds
are already running: under per
mit from the department of
agriculture.
. In a recent communication to
the editor of the<-Juneau Em
pire, Sandy Stevens, grand
secretary of the grand camp
of the Alaska Native Brother
hood, said, “There was no
such pledge of non-partisan
ship made to the Metlakatlans,
as stated to the Empire by Rev.
Marsden and Herbert Murchi
son. “Mr .Murchison and Rev.
Marsden’s statement that the
Alaska Native Brotherhood
has abandoned politics is ab
solutely false and groundless,”
the letter continues. “There
was no such promise made to
the Metlakatlans when they
joined the Alaska Native
Britherhood. They joined of
their own free will, and they^
were the ones to make prom
ises to the constitution of the
Alaska Native Brotherhood.
The Alaska Native Brother
hood embraces the following
platform: religion, education,
commerce, politics, none of
i which were abandoned.”
I Death claimed another pio
! neer of Alaska when Joe Wil
son died in his cabin at Moose
Pass recently. His passing was
attributed to old age. He was
in his eighties and for the last
few years had been, apparent
ly, on the decline. The name
of Joe Wilson will always be
linked with the early-day min
j ing activities in the Hope, Sun
rise and Moose Pass districts,
for he was one of those who
ventured into that country in
the gold rush days of ’96,when
thousands stampeded into the
1 district.
