SEED SPECIAL FLED
TO BUY WOLF TRAPS
An appropriation from other than
{federal sources to permit Alaskan na
tives and white men to purchase ad
equate traps will he necessary before
the heavy infestation of wolves in
Alaska can be controlled, according
to official? of the Biological Survey.
There is no federal fund, they ex
plained, from which such an appro
priation can be made. The Eskimos,
Indians and white men in Alaska who
are at present trapping wolves and
coyotes, many of them spurred on by
a representative of the Biological
Survey, lack the finances to outfit
themselves with traps good enough
to catch larger animals, it was said.
The bureau's representative in Al
aska, Harlan S. Gabser, transferred
there from Idaho, and one of the our
•eauV best trappers, ha? been travel
ing through Interior Alaska, the,
jbeart of the reindeer territory, teach
ing natives how to go after wolves,
• officials said.
The natives. Gabser reported, know
ibow to catch foxes, muskrat and tbe
smeller animals, hut are far from
fjroficient in trapping wolves and coy
•otes. Gabser said that the wolves
are a very serious menace to the ex
istence of many Alaskan natives.
"Tfci. is the worst infestation of
•wolves in years." he said, and it af
•fetl? the property of -S,OG0 Eskimos
witfd.' y and in a lesser degree the
■or perty of lO.ObO or more.”
In a majority of reindeer herds
counted two veers ago. about Mi per
«ctnt of the animal? are row missing.
•Gabser reported, killed app. rentiy. by
’hand? of wolves and coyotes.
While in Alaska, wolves are diffi
-mh to trap because they travel in
■ciriles with a radius of 5 to 10®
-miles, trapping can be encouraged, it
-seas said. The bounty of §25 an an
imal, plus about §25 realised from
;sale of a wolf skin, plus seme means
»of providing trappers with modern,
llareer traps, would do much to cur
tail the depredations of the wolf in
. Alaska, it was pointed out.

ALASKA SHEEP RAISING
PROMISES BIG RESULTS,
—
Sheep raising in Alaska pr mises |
to become a big Industry, according i
to a recent article appearing in a 1
coast paper.
Sheep in Alaska grate on grass up-1
until February; and sheep killed for
market in December and -Tanuary
are roiling fat and in Sne shape, and
t mpetc to advantage with the sheep j
aised in the States, which, during j
these months, have to be fed. The)
large herd placed on the islands to i
:be westward have done well, and
their wool is exceptionally long, and
<:f fine staple. In one respect it
brings a greater price than wool rais
m in the States, as it is very clean
:.nd needs no washing. There are no,
burrs or brush to clog the wool, and
the crop is taken by manufacturers
of garments desiring a long staple.
Tfc; westward Alaska islands are
located in the same latitude as the
Falkland Islands, one of the great
est sheep areas in Europe.
It is estimated that every valley
has ample grass to support a large
flock of sheep, and if proper support
,s given the industry by capital, set
tiers could be induced to locate their
herds on these sites. The district
coul easily take care qf 110,000 sheep,
giving over 1.000,00$ pounds of fine
wool annually with packing houses
on hand to lake care of those slaugh
tered.
The mutton is said to be of super
ior quality and taste to those in th- j
States.
