A recent survey shov* that there ii
in this year in the Territorial school;

The long negieced and humbli
snowshoe rabbit in the vicinity o
Anchorage has suddenly become th<
center of interestt to agents of Ur.ch
Sam, and the wholesale drive is nov
on to round up thousands of the ani
mals. They are to h e transferred tv
the Kodiak, Afognak, Xjnimak, Ua
alaska and Unmak islands. The worl
is part of he Federal Government pro
ject to give employment to natives o:
Alaska, and is termed Alaska restock
ing work.
The rabbits are especially needee
on the islands to the westward be
caause of the fact tfiat ther emmn
cause of the fact that there is little
smalll game there since the big erup
tion, and such feed is needed foi
bears, foxes and other fur-bearin^
animals, as well as affording a source
of food for Indians and other humar
inhabitannts of the region.
