Owing to an abundance, pf food and .
the last two mild winters, the moose !
on Kcnai Peninsula have thriven and !
wi 1 emerge this spring in fine condi-.
- t on, acording to Game Warden
Charles Cadwallader, who has just;
completed his annual inspection of the
moose ranges. “I found the moose as
j thick as range cattle,” said Mr. Cad
i wallader. “There are many fine bulls
and the cows and calves are sleek and
fat, indicating that they have win
tered well. The bulls are yet in the
highlands, where there is an abund
a nee of good browsing of willows and
lurch,. and, the cows, for the most
part, are in the lower regioijg. Any
fear r>, fdecimation of the herds is
ground-less,” continued Mr. Cadwal
adcr, 'but, on the contrary, the ani
mals appear to be more numerous
than, ever.”
