ANIMALS TRANSPLANTED ON KODIAK ISLAND DOING WELL
Transformation of Kodiak Island from a place inhabited by bear alone, so far as game animals was concerned, to a spot sustaining a variety of fur-bearing and food animals is well under way, according to Homer W. Jewell, Alaska game warden of Ketchikan.
He recently returned from Kodiak, where he said the rabbits transplanted there from the Interior under last winter's CWA program are thriving and multiplying rapidly.
Other animals are doing equally well. On Afognak Island a herd of elk, placed there seven years ago, now has increased to 50 or 60, he estimated.
