FIGHT IS HADE
ATANCHORAGE
AGAINST DOGS
ANCHORAGE, April 28 (Special to
Daily Times).—Secretly and with
deadly effectiveness, a vigilance com
mittee metes out the terors of capital
punishment in Anchorage. As a result
of its silent decrees, more than thirty
creatures have expiated the offense
of mere existence. The avenging com
mittee evidently consists of only one
individual, whose identiy, despite the
frantic efforts of the authorities, re
mains shrouded in mystery. The ill
fated victims are—or rather were—
dogs.
Early this spring when the break
ing up of the winter trails released
dogs from sled work, many of them
were turned loose to forage their food
as best they could. Packs of them,
particularly at night, roam the streets
and alleys searching and fighting for
a livelihood. Their chief occupation
is capsizing and looting garbage cans,
and strewing the contents not edible
all over the landscape. The animals
are a destructive nuisance.
There is no law enabling Anchor
age, Nenana or any other towns on
the line of the government railroad,
all of which are administered by the
Alaskan Engineering commission, to
license or impound stray dogs. Con
gress in passing the act providing for
the establishment and federal control
of the railroad towns took no
cognizance of dogs. The territorial
statute with reference to the licensing
and impounding of the animals are
applicable to self-governed, incorpor
ated towns only.
No attempt has ever been made in
Anchorage to license dogs, but a
pound was established and main
tained last summer. However, the ab
sence of a specific law authorizing
the existence of a pound impaired its
efficacy.Persons whose stray dogs had
been impounded insisted on their re
lease without the payment of subsist
ence charges or penalties. So in
effectual was the pound last year that
the authorities made no effort to re
vive it this year.
Recently some person intent on the
destruction of dogs began activities.
Poisoned meat is used to kill them.
Evidently the fatal food is not thrown
broadcast on the streets or in yards,
for none of it has ever been found ex
cept iifside a canine's stomach. The
meat with its tincture of death is
given to an animal marked for de
struction. The fatalities average about
five daily.
To solve the dog problem in a per
fectly legal way, residents of Anchor
age have signed a petition urging the
teritorial legislature to pass a law
authorizing any unincorporated town
or village, through its regular consti
tuted officers or persons in charge of
its affairs, to impose a license on dogs
and to conduct a pound for detaining
unlicensed dogs. The annual fee for
the license shal not be in excess of
$5 for a male dog and $7.50 for a
female dog. For an impounded dog
there may be a subsistence charge of
50 cents for every day the animal re
mains in the pound, and at the end of
thirty days, an unclaimed, impounded
dog may be sold at auction or killed.
If this proposed law is enacted by
the legislature, unincorporated towns
and villages will have the same right
to license and impound dogs as is
possessed by incorporated towns.
FRENCH WINE MARKET
UPSET BY PROHIBITION
PARIS, April 8 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press). — American
prohibition upset France’s wine trade.
The American market for wines
closed, the French exporters of cham
pagnes and other wines seek another
market. This will be found in Ger
many, acording to Lucien Fontaine of
the Paris Chamber of Commerce.
“If there is not sufficient market in
Germany, we can go to Holland, Den
mark, Austria and the Balkans,” said
M. Fontaine. “We can find the market
for the suppresed American outlet in
Europe, I think.
“The exportation of wine is not
going to be such a hard problem to
solve at this time for we have not
been producing nearly as much wine
during the war as we were before it.
“What are Americans going to do?”
asked M. Fontaine of the correspond
ent. "You know that all those soldiers
will miss the French wine in America.
Do you think that Americans will no
tice the situation worse than the
French? Perhaps all these soldiers
had better stay here, eh?”
Prohibition of the importation intc
America of alcoholic beverages will
deprive France of commerce which
reached in 1916 more than $3,000,000.
Before the war, the business was
valued annually at more than
$2,000,000.
