COI.n WEATHER ELSEWHERE:
DEATHS ARE REPORTED
—
But Southeast Alaska is not the
only spots in the nation hit.
Here is what the Associated Press
dispatches to the Empire says:
A new blizzard which may be a
“whopper” today was bearing down j
on the northern Middlewest, which j
still staggered fiom a storm which
took a toll of at least 12 deaths j
over the weekend.
Minnesota counted 12 dead over j
the weekend from the last storm.
These included a 12-year-old news
boy killed at Ca,nby when he was
struck by a snowplow, and a Duluth
girl who died of carbon monoxide
while in a stalled auto. Other
deaths included traffic accidents
and heart attacks brought on by |
battling the drifts.
There is some chance—but only a J
chance—that the intense cold or \
the new storms will be pushed j
northward into sea before it reaches
the Mississippi Valley or Great
Lakes region.
The National Geographic Socie'y
says Japan is probably the world's
worst earthquake risk..

A NORTHERN NOTEBOOK

Twenty-Sixth of a Series
When this column recently re
ported Territorial expenditures f<
1949 and 1950, as shown by the n
port of the Auditor, the figure '
-.12,392,174.29 for “public welfare
caused some jaw-dropping aruoi
the readers and some dismay in the
Department of Public Welfare.
This was, in actuality, far more
than was expended by that depai
ment during the biennium. F r
bookkeeping purposes, the Audi: •:
lumps a number of different i
partments under the general head
ing of “public welfare” and t) • SI?
352.174.29 includes expenditures in
dcr the following headings:
Alaska Housing Authority, Ala
ational Guard; a number ' :
boards, including Dental Examine:
Medical Examiners, Nurses Exai.
ining, Pharmacy, Optometry, a
so forth; Employment Secur
Commission, Department of Health
Department of Labor and Industr:
Board; Pioneers’ Home, includii.
purchase of a building for the V>
men’s Home; Department of P: ' :
Welfare, Rescue and Relief of I
Persons, Public Employes Refit
ment Fund, World War II Veterans
Fund and, for some reason, refund
of revenues from coin operated de
vices, punch board taxes, liquor li
cences and business licenses.
To further clear the Welfare De
partment’s record, the report of th :
department shows that its total .
pendit-ures from April 1 1949, to
December 31. 1950, amounted to ; >,
049,337.51 for relief programs and
3304,861.58 for administration.
Relief of Destitution took $243 -
530.09, all of which was put up by
the Territory. The Juvenile Code
took $140,622.42, also entirely Ter
ritorial funds.
A total of $730,290 was expended
for Aid to Dependent Children, tl
Territory putting up $359,635.50 and
the Federal Government putting up
£370,654.50. Old Age Assistance took
987,086 in Territorial and $942,409
hi Federal funds, a total of $1,930,

For a great many years, in one
y and another and in various
place , wolves have been a con. id
civ-blc annoyance to the human
ire, and in the Territory of Alaska
.1 ; lie past 36 years, human beings
have been something of an annoy
ace to wolves.
During these 36 years* the Terri
rial Legislatures have appropriat
ed a total of $1,175,898.50 to pay
bounties on wolves and on their
er cousins, the coyotes.
Alaska’s first wolf bounty law was
approved on March 31, 1915, and
wont into effect 90 days later. It
provided a bounty of $10 on each
wolf, and the Legislature that year
appropriated $20,000 for the pur
er enough to pay the bounties
mi 2,000 wolves.
in 1917 the Legislature increased
ie bounty to $15 but that year it
: propriated only $10,0C0 for boun
ds. Wolf bounty appropriations for
the years from 1917 to 1929 totaled
vi )• ,o, enough t« compensate the
I killer: of 6.633 wolves.
The Legislature In 1929 dropped
lie wolf bounty back to $10 and
i. cel a $5 hour.'.;, on coyotes, the
ev Act becoming effective on May
2, 1929, and remaining on the books
.nl June 6, 1939.
For wolf and coyote bounties
'.tiring those 10 years there were
pproprintlulls of $344,000. enough
to pay for the killing of 34.4C0
wolves or 68,800 coyotes or an inter
mediate number of both.
The 1939 Legislature raised the
.price on both wolves and coyotes
o $20 and provided funds for the
pr.vment of another 8 250 bounties.
In 1941 the Legislature set the coy
ue bounty at $17.50. leaving the
wolf bounty at $20. Appropriations
for this purpose in 1941, 1943 and
1945 amounted to $300,000. sufficient
to pay bounties cn 15.003 wolves or
17.142 coyotes.
The bounty on wolves was upped
o $30 in 1346 and the bounty on
coyotes to $25 and appropriations
for 1946-1948 amounted to $121,185.
enough to pay for killing between
1,039 and 4,847 of the critters.
Two years ago the bounties were
again increased, this time to $50 for
each wolf and $30 for each coyote,
with an approproation of $125,000
to pay 2.500 to 4.166 bounties.
On December 31, 1950, there was
still $66,805 in the wolf and coyote
account, indicating that either the
