COYOTES VERY NUMEROUS
IN INTERIOR COUNTRY
Among the furs brought by the
steamer Thistle from Ross River
were 20 of the largest black timber
wolves ever seen in the Yukon. These
animals are increasing in number
very rapidly but not in comparison
to the coyotes. Up to a few years
ago no coyotes were here but al
ready this season a local store has
shipped over 400 coyote skins. The
coyote is causing serious destruction
among -the fur-bearing and smaller
animal life of this country.—White

Believes In Colonizaiicn Plan
Sending Back to Alaska Flower and
Sugar Beet Seeds for Experi
mental Purposes
The Alaska Railroad needs another
six or seven millions of dollars to
properly ballast the road alone, F. G.
McCoy, well known contributor to the
Los Angeles Examiner stated to the
Seward Gateway during bis brief
visit in the city last week. Stating
further, Mr. McCoy said that a large
sum should be appropriated also for
the sole purpose of inducing settlers
along the right of way -and assisting
them in getting a start. He heartily
believes in some form of a coloniza
tion scheme for as he stated, it was
along these lines that the West was
populated. “Pioneering in these days
and especially in Alaska, is not nearly
so hard as it was in the early days
of those who came West.”
Alaska Is In Its Infancy
“Alaska is yet in her infancy, Mr.
McCoy continued, and this is right
from the heart when I make that re
mark. You have a wonderful future
before you, but like everything else,
it is hard for those living here to
grasp the fact. A newcomer realizes
these things much quicker, everything
being new. Upon my return to Cali
fornia I will have a story in the Ex
aminer entitled, ‘Alaska as I See It.’
This will deal entirely with facts and
material I have gained on this trip.
There is a great deal of agitation in
Los Angeles with reference to a trip
to your Territory, inquiries relative
to travel in the country, ways and
means, etc.”
Sending Sugar Beet Seed
j Mr. McCoy is mailing to the Mata
nuska experimental farm sugar beet
seed. Agriculture is one of his hob
bies and he is anxious to see whether
or not sugar beets can be raised in
this region. To the Fairbanks exper
imental station he is shipping special
flower seeds which he is under the
impression wall thrive in the Interior
valley. While in Fairbanks he re
lated to the superintendent of the
farm the facts in regard to Burbank’s
most recent product, a corn stalk with
two ears of corn on each stalk.
Sourdough Can Live Cheaply
He ventured the prediction that
providing agricultural production be
followed more extensively that a sour
dough could live on $150 a year. Aside
from raising vegetables in a truck
garden the Alaskan could put up fish
and game sufficient for his needs.
Formed Club on the Road
An Alaskan “Why don’t you” club
was formed by the party Mr. McCoy
traveled with. The idea for the for
mation of the club received its inspi
ration from various places visited on
the tour, at which it appeared Alas
kans were asked right off, “Why don’t
you do this; why don’t you do that?”
If the party could have obtained but
tons at the time they would have had
them made bearing the organization’s
name on them.
