KENAI MOOSE
STUDY ABOUT
BEEN FINISHED
A two-year investigation of breed
ing, feed and range conditions, af
fecting the world-renowned moose
herd on Kenai Peninsula has prac
tically been completed and the
findings are expected to be made
public within a few weeks, it was
announced recently at Juneau, ac
cording to a report in the Empire.
The study has been conducted by
the Alaska Game Commission and
the funds for the work were con
tributed by several prominent
Eastern sportsmen and conserva
tionists whose names have not
been disclosed.
Henry Lucas, well-known Skilak
Lake resident and big game guide,
and Frond Drfresne, game warden,
recently completed their investiga
tion. L. E. Palmer, range expert
of the United State Biological Sta
tion at the Alaska College, is mak
ing a survey of forage plants and
was expected have his work com
pleted by the end of the month
just ended.
The Kenai herd is said to be the
greatest of its kind in existence.
Fears have been held that its
natural increase was being affected
ay certain conditions of forage and
£>y depradations of bears. Reports
were made to the Game Commis
sion for several years that the calf
orop each season was abnormally
small. Fearing that the herd might
become decimated if these reports
were well-founded, led the Commis
sion to undertake the investigation,
which, due to lack of funds of its
own would have been impossible
out for the contributions from the
East.

SIGNAL CORPS MEN COMING
As a result of a direct inquiry
sent to the Signal Corps baseball
team at Anchorage as to whether!
they were coming they replied back,!
just as directly, that they were com
ing and gave their lineup. The fol
lowing is the Signal Corps line
up which will face a Navy team
on the local ball lot at 3 p. m. to- j
morrow; Markle, catcher, Dave
Turner, pitcher; Peyton, first base;
Moran, second base; Stevenson,
short stop; Cotter, third base;
Mont Liek, left field; Bob Bcearce,
right field. The center field po
sition was not mentioned but it is
believed that Shorty Hardman,
manager of the team, will have this
position. This is the same team
that played the City of Anchorage
team in an 11-inning contest to
take the Fourth of July game from
them by a score of 3 to 2. Most of
the Signal Corps men were at one
time stationed in Seward and are
well-known here.
FREIGHTER SAILINGS
The freighter Depere is schedul
ed to sail from Seattle on August
6 with a cargo of explosives and
other freight for Alaska ports. The
Tanana will sail at the later date
of August 20, according to the lo
cal Alaska Steamship -Company Of
fice.
Frank Towle, of Cooper’s Land
ing, is a visitor in the city from his
Lake home and will remain in town
until tomorrow morning so that he
can have the pleasure of looking
over the five naval vessels ar
riving in Seward this evening.
REPORT EARLY

ball squad members will report on
the Lagoon baseball lot tomorrow at
12:30 p. m. so that there will be no
delay in starting tomorrow’s game.
Final selection of the players who
will represent the Seward team
will be made at this time. It is im
portant that the game get under

ther game is scheduled at a later

CIGARETTE WAS
CAUSE OF LOSS
WOODLEY PLANE
No more cigarette smoking will be
permitted aboard any of the planes
that Pilot Art Woodley flies, he
told the Anchorage Times, the
other day following his arrival in
that city from the Bristol Bay
where he lost his plane through fire.
He reports that his plane caught
afire as the result of a passenger
dropping a lighted home-made cig
arette in the plane and that he was
forced to land the plane when the
flames started licking about the
fuselage- The only place to set the
plane down was in rough waters
pf the Bering Sea and it had to be
close to the shore so that the pas
sengers could get ashore. Close toj
shore a heavy surf pounded and itj
was in no time before the plane was
pounded to pieces. j
Woodley said that the flight to
Aniakchak crater had just been|
completed and that they were on
, their way back to Egegik when the
fire occurred. The plane landed
near Port Heiden.
Woodley is going out on the
Aleutian to New York City where
he will purchase a new plane. It
may be that he will fly it up to
Alaska himself and he will fy it
over the inland route, which being
quite well established.
