Wolves Wolves and Wolves,
Once upon a time there was a family of sheep herders*
who lived in a valley with their large flock of sheep. Thid
family was faced with the ordinary problems that shee
raisers are faced with, namely the special care the lambs most
have for survival and the ever present danger of beasts of
prey killing large numbers of the defenseless sheep while
they grazed near the wooded areas of the range.
The eldest son of the family had one responsibility and
that was to look after the flock during the hours of darkness
]f he saw a wolf charging into the flock he was to give the
alarm immediately and the other brothers and men of the vil
lage would drive the wolf from,the vicinity.
This eldest son was sort of a dolt and his idea of fun
^ hs mostly on the distorted side. To tease the elders of the
village one night he lustily cried: “wolf, wolf,’’ and there
was no wolf. The men all rushed out into the meadow and
he^e sat'the jokster sop on a small mound having an , uproar
ious laugh at the expense of the elders. Nothing was said of
the incident and the next, night the wolves came down out of
the woods, and again the son ran through the village crying:
woif, ’ but the elders all stayed indoors and • laughed
saying: ti he joke will,be on the practical joker this tirtfe.”
The wolves killed .near-iy'ali of the sheep..
•* . Thu age old fable carries a moral, as do all fables, and
at this.particular time this fable is most apropo to the ecopo
mi'e strife that seems to be facing Kodiak.
< According toistutisticiaris the three chief industries^' of
Alaska are fishing, sminrng and th-e tourist trade. In other
w-pfds those thre'ein'dustries are responsible for the amount'
of'revenue received in the Territory annually in that order.
Now let-, take a look at Kodiak’s retrospect as regards
t fhe six three p.rovid *rs of revenue. Is someone screaming wolf
l or should one? : i -hiog!
ir I me lishing industry, and that ir.cludes alrthei depart-1

f ingt drastic changes in the fishing jaws. The already cut sear.
