CAWHOT BE CAUGHT
“ '* ' "* **
That the work of transplanting
goats, ^HHr,*felueive and wary, from
one sectidk of Alaska to another, la
fraught with considerable difficulty,
is now realized by three venturesome
Alaskans, Ray. C. Gossett, ‘‘Babe”
Samples and L. T. Mclnnes, who ar
rived in town the latter part of last
week after spending some time at
Brady glacier, near Cape Spencer, in
their efforts to capture wild goats
which they intended taking to Admir
alty island with the view of populat
ing the matter with goat family.
Theoretically, the matter of trans
planting goats is all right, but prac
tically it is something else entirely.
As goats have no particular yearning
to be transplanted, they decline to be
captured alive antf the result is that
some ways and means not yet devised
must be incubated before Admiralty
island becomes the home of these
freedom-loving mountain climbers.
At various times the GosBett party
thought they as good as had their
hands on a number of goats in that
they had them cornered on points
from which they had no opportunity
for escaping. But the would-be cap
tors had not reckoned on the despera
tion of goat disposition. Rather than
be captured they deliberately and
determinedly committed suicide by
leaping off precipices hundreds of
feet high and converting themselves
from shapely quadrupeds into mince
meat smeared over the rocks below.
Nor was the suicidal practice confin
ed alone to the old goats, as the party
found that the kids only a few weeks
old preferred death by leaping into
space from the high precipices to be
ing touched by the hands of man.
Another thing' was discovered, ac
cording to Mr. Gossett, and that is
that the mountain goats are all in
fested with hoof rot which is due
presumably, from the practically con
tinuous wet weather. All the goats
found after committing suicide were
noticed to have the disease.
Mr. Gossett, who is well posted on
the game of the country, lately visit
ed the Taku country, where moose
abound and where he says, one In^
dian in a few days killed fourteen
moose which he shot down for the
mere pleasure of slaughter—a veri
table game hog—leaving the carcas
ses where they fell.
There is a small appropriation,
$1,500 of public money for the pur
pose of goat cultivation on Admir
alty island and it was the hope of
securing a portion of that money that
Gossett, Samples and Mclnnes were
seeking to capture goats near Cape
Spencer, but now they are convinced
that it was a perfectly safe offer, es
pecially if there was no money with
which to redeem the pledge.—Doug
las correspondent in Juneau Daily
Empire.
Miss Pearl Miller, a popular young
lady formerly of Valdez, arrived on
the steamer Alameda from the west
ward, and will attend school here
this winter.
