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.

Home office at Anchorage, Alaska 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.
