"Maritime Com.
Announce Seat
tle-Orient Run
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11 f/P)—
The Maritime CommLssion an
nounced the immediate reestab
lishment of the American flag
freighter service between Seattle
and the Orient. The Commission
said the service would begin as
soon as suitable commissioned
vessels could be moved to Puget
Sound, and they would he sup
plemented within eight months
by four combination passenger
and freight ships now in the
Baltic service.
There has been no American
flag service out of Seattle since
June, when the Dollar Steamship
Company withdrew the Ameri
can Mail Line boats.
The Commission rejected the
proposal of the Puget Sound del
egation, that four idle Munson
liners be put in service on the
ground that they stood a chance
of losing about three million dol
lars before the new ships would
be ready for service. The Com
mission feels that if they use
the Baltic ships they stand a
chance of breaking even.

WOLVES CUT DOWN
TWO DEER HERDS
Wolves cutting into the rein- ■
deer herds in the last five years :
have reduced the Noorvik deer
from 8,000 head to 100, and the
Selawik deer from 14,000 to 2,000
it was reported in Fairbanks by
Archie R. Ferguson of Selawik.
He and his brother Warren J.
Ferguson of Kotzebue, have trad
ing posts at Selawik, Kotzebue,
Shungnak. and Deering, and are
the owners of Ferguson Airways.
Pilots Jack Hermann and Mau
rice King fly for the Fergusons,
Wolves are hard to trap in the
Kotzebue and Selawik sections,
or in any open tundra country,
Mr. Ferguson said. They seldom
put their feet in a trap, and as
long as deer or caribou are avail
able, they won’t take bait.
Eskimo herders seldom have
an opportunity to shoot a wolf.
Hunting by plane with a shotgun
is the best way to kill the pred
ators, Mr. Ferguson has demon
strated.
The Ferguson Airways pilots,
with the cooperation of Aero
nautics Inspector Charles R. i
Burnett, and Mr. Ferguson recent j
ly proved the feasibility of wolf 1
hunting by plane, using a Cur
tis Robin. A pump shotgun, 12 j
guage, with buckshot bullets, got j
the job done.
Wolf tactics among deer are J
highly destructive. Accustomed
to the herder’s dogs, the deer are
not as wild as caribou, and are
easy prey for the predators.
On killing a deer, wolves us
ually take only the tongue, bjood,
heart, and liver, and leave the
rest of the carcass, then go on to j
kill another.
Mr. Ferguson and Hermann
flew to Fairbanks in the Curtis
Robin plane, nd enroute they
watched a woU chasing a moose
near Hot Springs.
Don’t forget to leave your name
and address for the Nugget to be
sent to you via airplane at youi
mining camps, from nf"r on.
