PREDATORY ANIMAL CONTROL
4
By a bill passed in the lower house of the Legislature
it is proposed to appropriate $30,000 for the purpose of
destroying predatory animals, such as coyotes and wolves.
Under the terms of the bill it is planned to employ from
200 to 400 men as expert trappers. This would, consider
ing that the first number were employed, give each $150,
and $75 for the larger.
It would be interesting to know the number of wolves
and coyotes an “expert” would be willing to turn in for the
above sum, and more so to know how a trapper can get by
on any such amount, even for his food.
Again it would appear that the Legislature has bung
led an important matter. It was thought when a request
was made for increased bounty funds, it would be em
ployed in the only manner calculated to secure results,
namely distributed among the thousands of trappers and
those who trap occasionally.
Despite the smallness of the bounty now paid for cap
turing wolves and coyotes, trappers have shown a splendid
spirit and produced some good results during the season
just past. One trapper near Matanuska took 15 coyotes
and others have taken from three to eight wolves and as
many coyotes In this work thev have combined their ac
tivities of operating their trpplines with contributions of
energy and skill for which the return was far below that
received from predatory animal pelts.
If the Territory is prepared to emplov experts, the
trapper is also prepared to sav: “Let them do the work.”
The biggest boost you c?n pive Seward is by trading
in it, and by supporting its institutions for good.
U. S. Spends Ten Billion Dollars
On Better Roads in Eight Years
)
CHICAGO—The United States has
invested nearly 810.000,000.000 In
building and maintaining good roads
during the last eight years or a sum
equal to the cost of America’s par
ticipation In the World War, exclud
ing foreign debts, according to a
bulletin issued here by the American
Research Foundation.
"Mileage of Improved highways In
this country has been virtually
doubled since 1921 through funds
voted by the public,” says the bulle
tin •'There are now 630,000 miles of
road in the United States which have
been surfaced to a greater or lesser
extent compared with 387,000 mile*
eight years ago.
“Unprecedented Increases In auto-J
mobile registrations have been ;•*•'
sponsible for this vast program oil
road building. The great petroleurri
refiners including Sinclair and Stand^
ard have contributed Inestimably td
highway development by erecting
gasoline service stations along the
highways convenient to the motoristj
improving the quality of their motof
fuel and supplying It at low cost X4
the automobile owner.” «
More than half the improved road*
In the world, the bulletin eets farthi

i OF STOCK TO BRING ROAD
' UNDER OPERATION
* WASHINGTON, April 8, (£>)—
• i Practical absorption of the Pere
> Marquette Railroad by the Ches
> apeake & Ohio was foreshadowed
by the decision of the interstate
commerce commission which per
mits the Chesapeake & Ohio to
purchase 174,900 shares of the Pere
Marquette stock at $133.33 per

VIVID FEATURE
“THE COUNT OF TEN”
One of those stories about the squared ring that
always appeal and make you hold your breath.
This is the tale of an “easy” young fellow who
could not shake a lot of hangerons from taking
all the money he earned. Many good scenes of
boxing and an interesting story.
In the supporting cast are
. JAMES GLEASON
the playwright who is seen for the first time in
this picture; also
JOBYNA ROLSTON — EDYTHE CHAPMAN
The plot is laid in Chicago, and has no country
jake characteristics. One of Ray’s latest and
