Re: Dogs at Large

Loren Stewart, Editor
Cheechako News,
Kenai, Alaska
Dear Mr. Stewart:
I would like to make public
some information that I have just
received in regards to “dogs run
ning at large.” I hope this letter
will benefit all concerned, and
prevent some embarrassing- situa
tions.
The okl territorial Jaw (Sec. 33
3-93 ACLA 1949) states;
“Whenever any dog habitually an
noys any wild deer, reindeer, cat
tle, sheep, or horses, or other
animals or birds, either domestic
or wild, or evinces a disposition
which renders it likely that it will
without provocation bite such an
imals or fowls, it shall be lawful
for any person to kill such dog,
when at large. The owner or keep
et of such dog. if known, of upon
reasonable inquiry may be known,
shall be notified and given reas
onable opportunity to restrain
such dog before it shall be lawful
to kill it. Persons authorised to
enforce the Alaska Game Laws
and .Territorial Highway Patrol
men shall be empowered to en
force this section.”
On Jan, 18, 1962, I requested
a member of our State Legisla
ture to check into this law and
see whether it still stands good,
or whether it had been amended.
I received a reply dated Jan.
22, 1962. The counsel for Local
Affairs took up the matter, and
I quote from the letter:
“Section 33-3-93 ASLA 1949 is
still in effect, according to same
counsel. They ran a research on
this item to make sure.”

Moose Need Help
Mr. Loren Stewart
Editor, Oheechako News
Ak many of you already know
it’s that time of the year again
when one of our greatest assets
on the Kenai Peninsula, the moose
herd, is struggling to survive the
remaining winter as the snow gets
deeper and the feed scarcer.
A small effort On our part,
however, can spare a lot of them
near the roadways the extreme
hardship or outright starvation
by cutting down birch and aspen
trees so they can feed on the
tops and branches. This work
doesn’t require clearing land by
the acre, but merely spending a
few hours a week thinning out
the scrub trees on your land or
perhaps the Kenai Moose Range,
This cutting does not destroy,
but improves the remaining for
est. Don’t cut down too much at
once, however, or it may be cov
ered by the next snow before the
moose have found and trimmed
it.
This is nothing new to most
homesteaders, many of whom
have been doing this for years.
My personal experience this
year has been that about a half
dozen moose have taken up per
manent residence around my
home in Soldotna since I started
cutting trees a few weeks ago.
This required only about an hour
of chain sawing every three or
four days.
If we residents of the Ken a i
Peninsula make a sustained ef
fort to cultivate this valuable as
set, we may attract the interest
and help of the Federal and State
Game Commissions to develop a
permanent moose feeding pro
gram, during the severest winter
months.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLIE PARKER,
Soldotna, Alaska.
