WILL GOVERNMENT STOCK
COAST ISLANDS WITH FUR
The U. S. Biological survey has
approved the plan of E. P. Walker,
chief of the Survey in Alaska for
introducing furbearing animals and
game into Alaska land suited to
them, but on which such animals
have never occured or from which
they have been exterminated, ac
cording to a statement made by 51 r.
Walker. Plans have been made for
operation of the undertaking as rap
idly as funds permit, says the Jun
eau Empire.
The plans for stocking Alaska
land with animals was presented by
5ir. Walker to Dr. E. W. Nelson,
chief of the Biological Survey, at a
conference in Seattle relative to
the work of the Service in Alaska.
The plans, as given by Mr. Wal
ker, contemplate 'the stocking of
certain lands in Southern Alaska
with a rabbit suited to such climate
conditions, as food for furbearer-,
and man the stocking of the Prince
of Wales group with marten, which
never occurred there and the re
stocking of Chichagof and BaranorT
Islands with beaver, which were ex
terminated on those islands many
years past. Mink are to be intro
duced on the KodialtAfognak group,
on which islands they have never
occurred.
There have been requests from
Sitka and elsewhere for the stocking
of Kruzol Island with elk, and the
Cordova Game Club has asked that
5!ontague Island be stock with elk.”
said Mr. Walker. ‘‘While in Seattle
Dr. Nelson and I made arrangements
for obtaining elk whenever circum
stances warrant going ahead with
the program.
“I examined a beaver trap, in
vented by an employee of tihe bur
eau. which is successful in catching
beaver alive and which will be a
great aid in the stocking work. The
trap has been patented by the em
ployee and the patent rights assign
ed to the government public use.”
Mr. Walker was accompanied
north by J. S, Ligon. Predatory
Animal Inspector of the Biological
Survey, who is an expert wolf
catcher. 5Ir. Ligon was sent north, at
the request of the communities south
of Frederick Sound where wolves
are killing far more deer than are
hunters. Mr. Walker said.
The officials were met at Ketchi
kan by the Syrvey boat Sea Otter,
from the point they worked north
ward examining the country for pro
per locations for beginning the wolf
work. Within 15 days after arriving
in that district the ‘‘Wolf Man.” a5
he is called, had three wolves and
within another five days he had one
more and another had escaped from
a defective trap. Since then there
have been no reports from him.
“Efforts are being concentrated
on developing trapping rather than
poisoning.” said Mr. Walker. “The
latter would probably be more ef
fective but the use of pois-n in
Alaska must be limited to respon
sible employees for the sole purpose
of wolf control, whereas the devel
opment of trapping would enable

Sweets.

in the work, in this way increasing
the possible number of wolf hunters,
furnishing employment to more peo
ple ^nd at less expence to the gov
ernment. As soon as the most sat
isfactory methods are determined
by Mr. Ligon, he will begin teaching

Walker to Juneau Saturday, return

ENGLISH FARMERS TOLD TO
EXPECT HARD TIMES
LONDON, Dec. 7.—“Agriculture
cannot be made to pay any longer
in England on the lines followed
ir. the past under present condi
tions,” said Sir Arthur Boscawen
in the last speech he made as Min
ister of Agriculture. While he was
talking to the members of the Far
mers’ Union about the hard times
that were inevitably in store for
the majority of them Premier
Lloyd George handed in his resign-1
ation to the King and Sir Arthur
automatically became an ex-Min- i
ister.
His speech, as he admitted him-1
-elf contained only “cold comfort
for those who had to get their!
living from the land.” Some far-;
mers, he prophesied, would go un-!
der. and there would be acute dis
tress in the country districts be-;
fore prosperity could return.
“There may be a future for the
dairy farmers,” he said, “and live
stock farming generally may be able
to pay fairly well in time, but for
the arable farmers - the corn
grower^ - I can see only a gloomy
outlook.” Referring to the views
of one of his predecessors in office,
he said:- “Lord Ailwvn probably
was right in thinking that much
arable land will become grass; that
the rural districts will be depop
ulated. and that there will be
great misery among farmers and
their laborers.”
According to his own survey cf
the state of agriculture, its future
seemed to lie in large farms in fav- j
orable districts, cultivated as cheap-1
ly as possible, with patches of in- '
tensively cultivated land.
“What can the government do?
he asked, “there are only two re
medies - protection or subsidies.”1
The farmers showed plainly which
of the two remedies they preferred
by cheering loudly the mention of
“protection." and greeting subsidies”
with vociferious cries of dissent.
But Sir Arthur would not allow
the poor farmers to comfort them
selves with any false hopes.
“It would be dishonest to sug
gest.” he declared “that at the
, present time either remedy is prac
rical. The agricultural interests have
a comparatively small representa
tion in the House of Commons,
which is permantly urban in char
: actor. The Government may adopt
some palliatives, but it will insist
that agricultural must work out
i its own salvation on an economic
basis.”
I Charles Alexander assumed his
i dueies as chief of the fire and police
departments this week.
