ne runs alongside the team, he tries at
every opportunity to push his head
through the vacant collar After
awhile the nusher lets him return to
the harness, and for days he is one
of the hardest workers in the team.
The LATEST cur that ever attempted
to shirk his share of the trails toll
yields Immediately to such treatment,
when brutal beating would make
absolutely no impression on him, if
indeed it did not make him worse
Though only common workers, the
dogs behind the leader take a certain
pride in their positions, and one which
has been broken to certain place in
the line sometimes will refuse to pull if
he should happen to be transferred.
There are three broad divisions
among the dogs of the North: the
tricky medium-sized malamute, wolf
dog, whose cunning face is distorted
by a sarcastic grin; the fierce husky,
also a wolf-dog, an animal of tremen-
dous strength and vicious propensities;
and the outside dog, the last divi-
sion, embracing all the CANNES taken
North from civilized countries.
The malamutes have gained the
widest fame of the three, their name
being so closely linked to the interior
that one suggests the other They
are hereditary workers, their ancestors
for hundreds of years back having
toiled along the frozen trails of Alaska
and the British Yukon in Indian and
Eskimo teams. A cross between wolf
and dog, they have all the vices of both,
as well as most of their virtues They
are ''wise" in the slang meaning of the
word it being a common saying along
the great valley of the mighty Yukon

of the Atn Trail, Laddie leader of the ROYAL
Mail team, Italian Bob of the Northwest Mounted
Police, and Bonnie of the Fortymile Trai1-dumb
beasts, but possessing wisdom and courage truly
heroic.
To the training of a leader the ''musher" gives
his best efforts the undertaking being requiring
patience and tact, well thorough knowledge
of the ways of the trail. Sometimes the young dog
and veteran are harnessed together to a sled and
the older animal in obeying the shouted command
teaches the novice the meaning of each order or
the dog is simply put at the head of team and
forced to learn by actual experience. Some gain
the knowledge in a weeks time or less while others
not apt; but in the Of the former it must
be remembered that the Northern dog lives in an
atmosphere of mushing, in consequence often
picking up considerable knowledge of trail language
before the end of his puppyhood
Behind the leader in the team come the 1aboring
dogs, whose only requirements are brute strength
and grit. They do not need special training the
novice being thrust into the harness and soon
learning his simple duties The worst punishment
that can befall these workers. from their own view
point IS to be taken from the traces and not allowed
to help in hauling the sled To them it is worse

Still he may be a
master of the lam

the wisdom of the

he must have all this

messed to the sled generally in single
file, though sometimes when the Journey
is one of exceptional length and the
load unusually heavy as many as eight
and nine dogs are in line. The har-
ness is simple, in some cases being
composed of collars and traces, but as
rule consisting of these and a back
and belly-band
The most important member of the
team, the leader, to which falls the
arduous task of guiding the other dogs
in obedience to the profane commands
of the 'musher," must be endowed
with an intelligence and knowledge that
lift him above the common herd.
Naturally his position is at the head
of the line, where his sagacity, resource
fulness and knowledge of the snow
trails are kept in constant activity.
His mental powers place him beyond
the toll which falls to the others, ex-
cept in emergencies when he also
strains at the frozen traces There
is one breed of Northland dog, how
ever, whose leaders work as hard as the
rank and file-the fierce Mackenzie
River huskies whose restless natures
do not allow them to shirk toll even
when they head the team as its leader
The leaders brains do not place him
above hardship, for if fresh snow has
fallen or the highway has become drifted
he must break trail for the less in
telligent animals behind him His lot
is the easiest of all under favorable
conditions, but under adverse conditions
it is the worst, tie rigors of heavy
trail telling more quickly on him than
on the other members of the team. Be
cause of this, the larger teams generally
