The past winter was marked by the
heaviest fall of snow this region has
seen for many yeans.

Oldtimers are prophesying the
coming summer will he the wetitest
and have the most mosquitoes, that
ever were known in these parts.

A pedigreed silver-black vixen on a
fox ranch here gave birth this spring
to a latter of 10, large pups, all of
which are alive. The pups weighed
four and one-half and five ounces art,
birth. The same vixen gave birth last
year to nine pups. This is probably
a world’s record for the silver fox.
Blue foxes have had a greater number
reported in one litter.
* * *
The moose and caribou are treking
east and make their appearance
around here in great numbers.

“Dinty” Moore’s feet got to itching
when he saw the wild geese and
ducks flying north, so packing up his
bed roll went north too.

The heavy snows the past winter
seemed to be ithe cause of a great
many mountain -sheep perishing of
starvation. It seems when no longer
able to find food the sheep would
come down to the valleys and tramp
all the snow down around a bunch
of spruce trees, eating all Ithe bark
and boughs within their reach, and
were found dying or dead.

The numerous bands of wolveta and
coyotes seem to have wintered fine.
Among such animals as foxes and
those that rear their young in the
spring of year, the whelping time
has been very late—in some cases as
much as a month and a half.
» * *
The animals in the Park for the
next two months, when not rustling
eats, will be posing for the movie
cameras, and after that will be in the
movies. The camera men expect to
be finished by July 4th.
* * *
The tourist concern in the Park are
busy getting their outfit shined up
ready for the official opening of fthe
Park. A few early tourists are now
passing this way.
* * *
The Alaska Road Commission have
been busy since February hauling in
b}ridge [timbers and camp supplies!
along the line of the road they are
building into the Park. In about 10
dayls the big gangs will be put to
work for the summer. They will
likely have three camp going thisj
season.

The trappers who had their lines in
this region last winter, in the main,
had much below the average caltoh of
fur. The fur bearing animals were
just as plentiful as ever, but the
steady fall of snow made it impossi
ble for the trappers to keep their
traps clear, all had to Shorten their
lines, while some pulled their traps
at Christmas in disgust and quit.
