Cougars Reported
In North Alaska
For First Time
FAIRBANKS, Ufl—Cougars are
rapidly assuming the status of fly
ing saucer^ in Alaska.
There are no' official records
of cougars being found in the
more northerly parts of the ter
ritory and none have ever been
bagged by hunters.
Yet, reporrs of cougars being
sighted are flooding U.S. Fish and
Wildlife headquarters here
At least eight people have re
ported sighting cougars on the
Richardson Highway between Big
Delta ani Fairbanks. In addition,
natives in the village at Dot Lake
have reported finding cougar
tracks, or at least tracks that were
unlike any they had ever seen
before.
Fish and Wildlife agents here
said cougars are not supposed to
be roaming the flat tundra coun
try around Big Delta. But they
said there was always the possib
ility that some of the big cats
were arriving here after making
their way north from British Col
umbia, where they abound.
The agents pointed out that pre
vious to 1920 no coyotes were
found in the Territory, but that
in the past 30 years they have
migrated north from Canada until
they now populate most of Alaska.
‘“Douks” Parade In Nude
KRESTOVIA, B.C., (£>—A week
end that included home burnings
and a parade of naked people
ended with only the light of- sev
eral flickering kerosene lamps to
mark the dwellings of Doukho
bors in this odd community.
During Sunday, some 50 men
and women staged a parade in
the nude, starting and ending at
a crude meeting hall, a converted
barn, where they had held a
meeting to consider the arrest of
148 Sons of Freedom DoukhobOrs
last Wednesday.
Five homes were put to the
i torch earlier. The burning follow
ed the pattern of “sons” activity
in their long quarrel with man
made laws.
The nude parade, nothing new
in this area, consisted largely of
elderly persons who did a circuit
of the village which comprises one
unpaved street and a few clusters
j of unpainted homes.
They chanted Russian hymns
j and prayed for the welfare of the
j 148 who are in jail at Vancouver
on charges of contributing to
| juvenile delinquency by parading
! in the nude.
