STRANGE DOGS or ALASKA
or Native Dos--Are Wonderful
Workers.

Dogs III Alaska are of all breed and
size, the most common being the mala-
mute, or native dog, says writer in
the Wide World Magazine. The word
"nalamute" Is an Indian word mean
ing Eskimo, and Is applied to both
dogs and natives. The malamute Is of
the wolf strain fact, the best of
he breed are half wolf They evince
all the characteristics of the wolf, both
in appearance and In manners. Ow-,
ing to his wolf-like fur, the malamute
can easily stand the extreme Alaskan
cold. He is a born fighter, an invet-
crate thief, and somewhat OF coward,
for he will seldom fight singly against
a lone adversary, The malamute, while
well able to withstand the cold, does
not seem to have the same order of in
telligence as is displayed by the out
side dog, and the best dog for Alaska
would seem to be a mixture Of the
two strains.
Another native breed In the north
is the huskie, but this breed is rarer
tA4tAA aSIlllAOiL usage vi iiiS NOiA NOliu
imply. The real huskies are bred in
the neighborhood OF the Mackenzie
river, and are more common in the ter
ritory under the jurisdiction of the
Hudson Bay company than in Alaska.
Small dogs, such as fox terriers, are
rarity in Alaska, for in that country
dog is valuable In exact proportion
to the amount he can pull. A sleigh
dog will weigh anything from 80 to
$50 pounds, the average being about
rs pounds. 1t is surprising to the I'M
initiated how big load a dog can pull,
though must admit | have never seen
or heard of dog in Alaska pulling
1000 pounds, under the conditions de-
scribed in well-known novelists
book; nor have | ever seen or heard
of dottfght as pictured so wildly
in the story in which he graphically
describes fight where two dogs are
battling for supremacy In the team,
and the remainder of the dogs sit on
their launches and form ring around
the contestants, who, under these
conditions, | suppose, would fight it
out under Marquis of Queensbury
rules. | question whether such
fight ever occurred in natural history
If there are two Alaskan dogs fight
ing, and 40 non-interested dogs in the
neghborhood, the fight will soon in
volve itself into one dog underneath
and Al dogs on top The idea of an
Alaskan dog calmly sitting on his
launches and coolly viewing the fight
is too funny for anything; the joke
can only be appreciated by those who
have seen bunch of malamutes in a
fight.
