IIOW TO KILL WOLVES AND
COYOTES
Wolves and coyotes, still a
source of worry and serious loss
to stockmen and sportsmen oi
the west because of destructive
ness to livestock and game ani
mals, are uncanny in theii
ability to avoid man’s efforts to
keep them under control. Tc
capture these animals man mus
: match with strategy their clev
| erness in avoiding capture. Trap
| ping has been found by cxperi
! of the Bureau of Biological Sur
vey, U. S. Department of Agri
culture, to be one of the most
effective methods. Leaflet 49-L,
entitled ‘Hints on Coyotes and
Wolf Trapping,” just issued by
the department, describes the
successful methods of Federal
trappers.
The areas most heavily in
fested with wolves are in Alas
ka, eastern Texas, Oklahoma
Arkansas, Missouri, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Michigan. Coy
otes also exist in all the western
states.
According to the leaflet:
The coyote is by far the
most persistent of the pre
dators of the western range
country, and Is carrier of
rabies, or hydrophobia, and
tularemia, a disease of wild
rabbits and other rodents
that is transmissible and
sometimes fatal to human
beings.
Much of the country in
habited by coyotes and
wolves is purely agricultural
and contains vast grazing
areas, and a large part of
the food the animals in
those areas consists of mut
ton, beef, pork, and poultry
produced by the stockman
and the farmer, and of the
wild game that should be
conserved. It is a matter
of great importance, there
fore, to the nation’s live
stock-producing sections, as
well as to the conservation
ist’s plan of game protec
tion or game propagation,
that coyotes and wolves be
controlled in area; where
they are destructive
The new leaflet tolls hov best
to take advantage of some of the
habits of the animals in order
to overcome their natural cau
tion and their highly developed
defense against danger, and so
to lure them to the traps. It
gives detailed information on
how and where to set the traps,
and how to prepare scents to be
placed as lures on weeds, clust
ers of grass, or stubble near the
traps and along the animals’
travelways.

C. P. O. Box No. 1234,
Shanghai, China,
Oct. 11, 1930.
Dear Editor:
I wonder if you have any boys
and girls aong your readers. If
so can they imagine a place in
all the world without Christmas
and its joys One such place is
down here on the “bottom-side
cf the 'world.” The slanteyed
‘yaller” kiddies here do not
have Christmas trees. They do
not “hang up baby’s stockings
the biggest you can get.” Santa
Claus with his sleigh and rein
deer and bags of toys seldom
finds his way to China. It may
be because the roads are too
narrow and the reindeer fear
getting their feet wet in the
rice-fields, or because Chinese
houses have so few chimneys,
or perhaps Santa Claus is afraid
of falling off the “bottom-side”
of the earth, or may be even be
cause nobody has shown him
the way here.
Chinese children do not wait
up at night to get a sly peep at
him. Nor do they run down
stairs very early on Christmas
morning to see what Santa has
put on the Christmas tree or
with what wonderful things he
has filled their stockings. Just
think of it! A land with no
Christmas! I say “No Christmas”
but it is not quite “No,” for
once in a while some English
or American store will have a
* Santa Claus or a Christmas
free in the window for the sake
of English boys and girls. Then
lots of wee Chinese noses in
terestedly press against the
window-glass.
Then, too, I and my American
friends, friends of little children,
ire trying to be Santa Claus to
at least nine hundred little kid
lies in my ragged Sunday
Schools in Shanghai. The hap
piest little Brownies you ever
raw are my little “Chinks” as
on Christmas day I and my
helpers tell them the glad
Christmas story and distribute
among them apples, oranges,
peanuts; dolls and balls; toys
and candy. How the eyes of my
little people sparkle. How hap
pily they smile and how grate
fully they sa, “zia-zia-noong”
Thank, thank you,) as they
-eceive the gifts of American
riends. I wish all your boys
| ind girl readers could be with
us and see how happy my boys
and girls are with the simplist
gifts. They would be glad not
only for the delight of my little
ones; but they would better ap
preciate their own Christmas
gifts. They would also realize
hew much boys and girls in
China are like American boys
and girls with their likes and
lislikes, their joys and sorrows,
their tears and smiles and
would feel that they are indeed
! their own brothers and sisters.
Some say there is no Santa
Claus. I think of him as that
great big heart of love that
tries to make other people hap
py. Don’t you think that true,
Mr. Editor?
Now may I ask you to carry
to all your good readers, chil
dren and grown-ups, my best
wishes for a merry Christmas.
Keep lots also for yourself.
Yours from the land of the
(“China Chinks,”
REV. H. G. C. HALLOCK.

A GAS LINE
-x
The other day a company in
the Middle West announced that
it had signed contracts for the
construction of the longest gas
main in the world, a main which
| is to convey natural gas 1,000
miles from Texas to Chicago,
and on the way supply more
I than fifty towns and smaller
communities in Kansas, Iowa
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and
Wisconsin. All this at a cost of
$100,000,000.
The gas to be tapped lies be
neath 1,000,000 acres in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas. Never be
fore has so large a reserve been
drawn upon for a single system.
And what a system! More than
210,000 tons of 24-inch pipe must
be laid in the main line and an
additional 100,000 tons of small
er pipe, ranging in diameter
from 8 to 16 inches for the later
als, which in themselves have a
total length of 1,000 miles. It will
take 70,000 horsepower develop
ed by compressors to push the
gas along, an amount of energy
which will ultimately be in
creased to 100,000 horsepower.
Accustomed though it is to
changing its practices overnight,
even the petroleum industry was
astonished. Yet it had only to
read the signs of the technical
times to foresee this long pipe
with its thinner branches writh
ing up hills and down dales, dip
ping into swamps and rivers, and
at last pouring 300,000,000 cubic
feet into Chicago and an equal
quantity into half a hundred
smaller towns every day.
There was a pipe line, for ex
ample, that- had been completed
in 1928 from Amerillo, Texas, to
Denver and Pueblo, Col. From
the vast Louisiana fields led
even longer pipes—one 450 miles
long to Birmingham and Atlan
ta, Ga., and another 430 miles
long to St. Louis. The new Texas
Chicago system is but the logical
outcome of a development which
began fifty years ago in Penn
sylvania and West Virginia.
“Oh, Mr. Jones,” cried the land
lady, in a flutter, “I’ve seen a
large rat in the pantry—what
shall I do?”
The boarder looked up from
his paper. “Shut the door,” he
returned, “and let it starve tc
death!”

The home of Ted and Mrs.
Daisy, nee Eleanor Lynch of
Wrangell, was completely des
troyed by fire Thursday.
Grand Jury, in session in Ket
chikan, recommended a new!
Federal buildin, as the present1
building is unsafe and unsani
tary also to abolish the existing
system of boarding the prisoners,
they also recommend that the
Marshal be furnished with a
fast motorboat and automible. j
Mrs. N. R. Walker, who has
been convalescing following an
operation for appendicitis, went
went home this week.
John Marsden, the son of the
Rev. Edward Marsden of Metla

receiving medical care for a
foot that was injured when his
new car was badly smashed up.!
He stepped on the gas and the
care went over the bridge into

AIRPLANE IS MISSION
NEED SAYS BISHOP
-x
The Rt. Rev. Josept Crimont,'
S. J., Vicar Apostolic of Alaska,'
:who is in Seattle at the present
!time, in an interview granted to
jthe Catholic Northwest Progress,
a Catholic publication of this
i city, saia:
“The loss of the Jesuit Father
Walsh is a tremendous blow to
the missions, because of the
wide experience and progressive
ness of the former and the en
ergy, resourcefulness, piety and J
zeal which distinguished both'
extraordinarily.
“The destruction of the plane,
which embodied the great sacri
fices of the Marquette League,
and the suspension of aviation
! activities of Brother George
,Feltes, S. J., after such long
| training financed by the Jesuit
cf the California province, also
are keenly felt.
“But all the reasons for pos
sessing and using our own plane
!are absolutely unchanged,
j “The needs of the missionaries
‘and the people continues; the
! good work of evangelization1
must go on in the most efficient
‘manner possible,
j “The Marquette plane had
opened a wide field and given a
I new impetus to evangelization
God has exacted a sacrifice of
‘valuable lives and property on
ithe threshold of the new de
velopment. He exacted it long
ago when Archbishop Seghers,
j after years of effort to establish
the Alaskan Mission, was assas
sinated at just the time and
near the place where he had
dreamed of establishing the first
mission station.
j “But, just as the Church and
the Society of Jesus fearlessly
and generously poured means
and missionaries into the coun
try where Archbishop Seghers’
they do where Fathers Delon
and Welsh crashed fatally. Their
tragic deaths in the mission
field, like that of Father Rup
pert, are a trumpet call to the
missions and mission aid for
many generous Catholic hearts.”

POTENTIAL INDUSTRY FOR
ALASKA
-x
An engineer in Russia has
evolved a method of making
paper from seaweed on a large
scale at a low cost of produc
tion. A factory has been built
on the Siberian coast which
will use annually a crop of 100,
000 tons of seaweed.
Sixteen different kinds of pa
per, as well as cardboard and
glue, already have been obtain
ed from seaweed, and the chief |
waste product is a fireproof sub
stance that can be manufactur
ed into tiles.
With its hundreds of miles of
coastal shores and millions of
tons of seaweeds on her shores,
Alaska as a paper producer from
seaweed has potential possibili
ties.
LEGAL COMPLICATIONS
IN POWER LICENSE!
J. T. Jones of Portland, Ore-j
gon, through attorney has filed
.suit to stop issuance of power li
cense to I. and J. D. Zellerbach
of San Francisco for a power
project on Swan Lake, near Ket
chikan.
Jones claims he holds title to
480 acres of land involved in the
project and alleges that issu
ance of the license would de
prive him of his rights. He
claims he acquired his title from
Chief Johnson and Joe Starr,
Natives of Ketchikan. Officials
of the Power Commission, a
gainst whom the action is direct
ed, said that official records did
not show that the native In
dians ever owned the land. De-|
cision in this case will be watch
ed with interest as it will have
a very serious bearing on the
question of inherent rights and
possessory titles of Indians to
lands in Alaska.
JUTES FOR PLANE CRASH
PRIESTS HELD IN SEATTLE

The bodies came south on the
steamer Victoria from Nome, ac
companied by Brother George
J. Feltes.
The body of Father Delon is
being taken to Spokane for
burial at the Jesuit cemetery at
Hillyard. The body of Father
Walsh is being taken to his
former home in Oakland, Calif.
Bishop Crimont is escorting the

An effort is to be made by the
Oriental Cooperative Corpora
tion of Juneau to create a mar
ket in China for Alaska lumber.
Theodore Tollefsen, president
and manager of the company,
left Juneau recently for the Far
East, it being his inteneion to go
direct to Shanghai from Seattle
to arrange marketing details.
According to present plans, a
cargo ship will come to Alaska
late in February for the first
shipment of northern lumber
to the Orient. The lumber, it is
expected, will be cut by the Hid

INDICTMENTS TO BE
SOUGHT FOR FOSHAY
OFFICERS
St. Paul, Minn.,—L. L. Drill,
federal district attorney, has an
nounced that a federal grand
jury will be asked to indict offi
cials of the W. B. Foshay Com
pany, which went into voluntary
receivership a year ago.
Mr. Drill’s statement was
made after reading a report in
the case filed by Edward S.
Stringer, special master in chan
cery, who accused W. B. Foshay,
as the guiding hand in the com
pany’s affairs, and other offi
cials of the concern of fraud in
connection with stock sales.
The W. B. Foshay Company
was a holding firm for utilities
companies of various kinds over
the entire North American Con
tinent, and also had banking
and other interests. Its affairs
have been in Federal Court for
nearly a year as a result of the
receivership.

CATCH OF WHALES
IN ALASKA LIGHTER
-x
North Pacific whaling opera
tions took 672 whales this sea
son, a decline of 153 from the
1929 catch, according to the
Canadian report.
Of the total catch in Canadian
and Alaskan waters, the British
Columbia stations took 319 at
Naden and Rose harbors. The
American-Alaska stations took
353 whales, 125 at Akutan and
228 at Port Hobron.
Of the Canadian fleet, the
“White,” Capt. Henry Anderson,
was again high boat, with 66
whales. The American “West
port,” working out of Hobron,
was high boat with 85 whales.
