THE "BLACK HOWLER."
Queer South American Monkey That
Roars Like a Lion.

Roars Like a Lion.
While there is little likelihood of any
species (of fauna) living within the
jungle becoming extinct, it would re-
quire but little effort to make the Ga
tun lake region wonderful outdoor
geological garden that would prove al
most as interesting to visitors as the
game refugees along the government
railroad in British East Africa.
While breakfasting on the houseboat
a strange, uncouth sound came from
the hills to the west, rising and falling
in torrent of cultural notes. 1t was
the first greeting of the "black howl
err" the largest of the South American
monkeys, whose uproariOus conduct,
whether in tribal conversation, in pro-
testation against man or the weather,
was q source Of establishment there
after.
My friend Fuertes, the bird artist
and naturalist, whose mimicry OF bird
notes is quite equal to the fidelity OF
his brush, declares that the noise OF
the "howler'' is by far the most strik-
ing sound in the American tropics, be-
ing "a deep, throaty, bass roar, with
something of the quality of granting
pigs or Of the barking below Of bull
alligator or an ostrich. The noise was
as loud as the full throated roaring of
lions, and it's marvellous carrying pow
er was frequently attested when we
heard it from the far side of some
great Andean valley.
1t is a popular belief on the isthmus
that the "black howler' is an infallible
weather prophet, and especially so IN
predicting a shower.
So far as we could discover, it was
only when the clouds blackened over
head and the first preliminary drops
began to fall that this prognosticator
considered it safe to commit himself
in the forecast-George Shiras Sd In
National Geographic Magazine.

whatever crops he specializes in
and of what varieties of seed or
whatever breeds of hogs. cattle or

edition with fine Christmas cover
and profusely Illustrated throughout
with scenes of Beach and the wonder.
full Golden Valley, of which Beach IS
The county seat, as we'll as being
well patronized with advertisements
of the leading business men Of Beach
and the new South branch towns.
The edition speaks well of the ever
boosting element within the borders
OF the famous Golden Valley, and
when we consider that Beach is now
a town Of some 1900 inhabitants, ana
is only nine years old, we must STOP
and take notice Of the material
which has made such growth possi-
bile. Within the past couple months
a new branch of the Northern Pacific
has been put into operation, Wlich
extends from Beach some twen;y.six
miles south into the very heart of the
rich tributory valley, with terminal
at Ollie, Mont. Since the line has
been put into operation people are
Aocking into the valley, and many
business houses have been erecteu
along the new South branch, ana
many more are contemplating build
ing in the early spring.
Not being satisfied with a South
branch, the boosting business men OF
Beach and tle prosperous farmers of
the Golden Valley, are cooperating
on an endeavor to secure a. NOrtn
branch out of Beach, which is badly
needed, owing to the immense crops
of the past few years and the valley
up fast.
A. new 24.lour electric light and
power service has recently also been
added in Beach. the plant being a
modern one and a distributing point
for the surrounding towns.
With sucl live bunch OF Boosters
behind them in one Of the best val
leys in North Dakota or Montana, we
look to see Beach the metropolis of
western Dakota and eastern Montana
within the next few years.
