QUEEREST KIND OF
 SEA MAMMALS
The Grotesque WaIrus Has Strong
 Maternal instinct.

The walruses, or sea horses of the old nayigators.a re the strangest and most grotesque of all sea mammals. Their large. rugged heads, armed with two long ivory tusks, and their huge swollen bodies. coyored with hairless. wrinkled and warty skin, give them 8 formidable appearance unlike that Of any other mammal. They are much larger than most seals. the old males weighing from 2.000 to 5000 pounds and the females about two-thirds as much.
 Walruses have a strongly developed maternal instinct and show great de- votion and disregard of their own safe ty in defending the young. The Eski- mos at Cape Vancouver, Boring sea, hunt the min frail skin covered hyaks, using ivory or bone pointed spears and sealskin floats.
 Several hunters told me Of exciting and dangerous encounters they had eX- perienced with mother walruses. If the young are attacked or even ap- preached teh mother does not hesitate 10 charge furiously The hunters con- fess that on such occasions there is no option but to paddle for ones life.
 Occasionally an old walrus is un- usually yindictive and. after forcing a hunter to take refuge on the ice, will remain patrolling the vicinity for a long time, roaring and menacing the object of her anger.-National Geo graphic Magazine.

 When 9 man is convicted of crime or misdemeanor. and the judge con descends 10 suspend sentence, the oul- prit considers himself very lucky, and is glad 10 take advantage Of the lib erty unexpectedly bestowed upon him. Not so with (. L. Baker Of Ophir. how ever. who was found guilty of trespass ia Commissioner EinaIs court al Ophir on November . last and was fined S13- The convicted man refused to pay his fns and demanded that he be allowed to serve out the penalty in jail
 But here was where the rub came. There is no jail at Ophir. and it was necessary while Baker was in custody pending trial to keep him al the road house. and he evidently found his quar- ters comfortable The only thing for the commissioner to do was to take him to IdiJarod and have him con- fined in the federal jail to serve out his sentence. or to suspend his sen tence.

 Baker was found guilty of trespass on mining ground at the mouth of Cane creek claimed by John Rieck. This is the ground that has been the subject Of much comment recently. For years efforts have been made to locatepay on lower Cane creek. but without success, until Rieck came d. ong and restaked the claim. He com. menced development work and soon uncovered pay, which created q great deal or interest in that section. Bak- CT claimed the ground on which Rieck had staEed. The controversy resulted tn the arrest Of Baker for trespass, and his conviction and the infliction of the nominal penalty.
 T. is more tha nlikely that civil pro- ceedings will be commenced.
