on the Increase; A Scourge to Game and
 a Menace to Man

Wolves appear to be greatly on the increase, according to the re- port of returning hunters. As wolves do not add anything to the wealth of the territory, and cause a total loss of all they destroy, some action should be taken to rid the country of them. Their pelts are not sufficiently valuable to induce trappers to hunt them for fur, and it has been found necessary in other places for the Government to give a bounty for every wolf killed. AS the cari- bou and the moose are a great asset to this northland, and these two species are the chief sufferers from the ravages of the packs, no time should be lost in devising some means of exterminating these destructive animals. or at least SO thinning their numbers that they should not be both a scourge to the game and a men, ace to man. .-Whitehorse Star.

Old Fur Post

D. c. Van Gordon, the Pelly Banks trader, who is in town on a business trip, is in charge of one of the oldest fur-trading posts in the Yukon Territory, says the Dawson News of a recent date. The history of the post reaches back more than a century. Old Chief Etney, who thinks he is fully d hundred years old, re- members the post when it four ished in the hands of the Hud- sons Bay company, and when it took three years for the goods to reach there after they had left England.
 Tt is hard to say what age the old chief is,' said MT. Van Cor don. ''He looks very old; and he loves to tell stories of times away back. His voice is the strongest part of him. He is well thought of. All the Indians like him, and they sit around, interested, when he is yarning. He has a great number of grandchildren.
 Tn 1871, or whereabouts, the Hudson's Bay company's post was abandoned. It was a terrible loss to the Natives, for, as Chief Etney says, the Indians depended on the post for supplies, and when it was burned and they could get no supplies or ammunition, many starved to death. The chief says between two and three hundred died. They were born with the old muzzle-loader in their hands; they knew no other weapon; the bow and arrow were forgotten. When they could get no ammuni- tion they could kill no meat.
 'The Indians up there come from all parts; some from the Mackenzie, the Peel. the Liard rivers. They speak different tongues, which makes it a bit hard to deal with some of them. They are a peaceful sort of people, but they can't credit all a white man says and does. Ihave spok- en to them about flying machines. It is no use. They cannot under. stand a man in the air. I show them pictures of flying machines and they listen to me and stare at the pictures, but without a glimmer of comprehension
 "They have a sort of religion, '' continued MT. VanGordon. "They believe in a hereafter and a spirit land where they will all go when they die. Now they bury their dead in the ground, but long age they used to cache them away wherever convenient-up in trees or anywhere else -- and l am told some of them were cannibals."

News of a daring battle with three large and powerful grizzly bears is brought from the Mayo country by Paul $. Hogan, mem- Der of the Yukon council, who has just returned from a trip to that region. Mir. Hogan tells the story as follows:
 George Artell, an old time hunter and prospector of the upper Stewart region, was called upon a few days ago to face three terocious grizzlies in the woods, and before the session was concluded Artell had driven cold lead through the carcasses of the three big beasts. l saw Artell within I2 hours of the battle, and, believe me, he was still little nervous from the ef- fects of the trying experience.
 Artell had gone over from Highet across a divide to the Mo- Questen valley to get some game for a crew of miners. He was about 10 miles from the Highet creek dredge. He explained that he was at the edge of thicket when he heard a growl, and looked up to see a monster grizzly bearing down upon him, showing his teeth and ready for battle. The bear came upon the man so suddenly and the surprise was so great that Artell, notwithstanding great ex- perience as hunter and his alert. ness, could not get his rifle into ac- ton before the bear was almost up- on him. But, with unerring hand and eye, the hunter drew a bead, and just in the nick of time. The bullet went crashing through the skull of MT. Grizzly, and the big brute fell almost at the feet of the man. Not more than IS feet was between them when the fatal shot took effect.
 "Artell scarcely had dispatched grizzly number one than number two broke into view, and immedi- ately upon his heels came number three. The encounter with the first one had made the man blood race, and he was all keyed up over the encounter. Now here was an in- tensihed situation with two huge ones to face at once. Luckily, they were little farther away than the first, and Artell had his rifle al ready in hand. He had no time to lose. Fine calculations were out of place. It was simply a case of act, and act at once. He did not even stop to think of home, but put the artillery into action. The bull lets went home to each big brute, and the two big fellows dropped in their tracks. Both were coming straight for him, and with blood in their eyes, said Artell. He cer- tainly was looking into the jaw of what would have been certain death that day had he not been properly armed and have been a crack shot. Artell is man with a nerve, and he proved it.
 "The battle took place about August I. Artell had repeating rifle, land says that the way he pumped the lead into the bears possibly rivaled the fashion in which the old Bolye Yukon battery showered the Fritzies in France. "Artell is the man who mushed four days last winter to vote at Granville for the drys. He mushed all the way in over the snow from McQuesten. In the plebiscite of 1916 he poled a boat up the Nc Questen all one day and two nights, taking up cargo of dry voters, and they got to the polls just IS minutes after they closed. That was the time the drys lost by three

Binkley Files on Gingrass Ranch
 As Homestead
Property Was First Lo. cated by Kyuse Jim More Than Forty
 Years Ago

Loyal JOnn Blnkley returned last week from Juneau where he had been to file a homestead entry on what is known as the Gingrass ranch on Farm island.
 MT. Gingrass accompanied MT. Binkley to Juneau and filed a re- linquishment of his claim to the property in order to throw it open for homestead entry.
 This property has rather un- usual history for a homestead claim. It was first located in 1878 by J. Rossiter (Cayuse Jim) who, with his partner, Malcolm McThompson, operated pack train into the Cassiar. During the winter of 1878 Rossiter win tered his mules on the newly To- cated ranch. During the summer of 1879 Rossiter raised a good crop of hay on the property. The Cassiar excitement gradually sub- sided and Rossiter and McThomp- son ceased to operate their pack train. Rossiter then sold the ranch to Nose Ireland who owned it for one year.
 Ireland sold the ranch to Dr. s. Hall who was in charge of the Presbyterian mission at Wrangell. Dr. Young made use of the prop erty as a farm for the Indian boys of the Presbyterian school then located at Wrangell. After the training school was transferred from Wrangell to Sitka Dr. Young had no further use for the prop erty, and in 1888 he sold it to Judge Wm. G. Thomas. Later Judge Thomas took Geo. H. Barnes into partnership with him. Thomas and Barnes put a few cattle and horses on the ranch. About a year later Thomas sold his interest to Barnes. During the next four or five years Barnes continued to raise horses and cattle on the ranch, and by 1894 there was quite a herd of. cattle. On the tenth day of May, 1894, more than a foot of snow fell something unheard of in this dis trict at that time of the year either before or since. As a re- suit of this unusually late snow nearly all of the cattle died, and Barnes abandoned the property. There had never been any title to the property, the various trans fers of ownership having been made by bill of sale.
 In 1908 F. B. Gingrass filed on the property as a homestead. He lived on the ranch for three years and practically made his home there for seven years. For the past nine years MT. Gingrass has endeavored to obtain a title to the property, but it is a well known fact that land patents are not railroaded through in Alaska. MT. Glngrass stated to the Senti- nel that recently he came to the conclusion that he was not likely to live long enough to get a pat ent, and therefore decided to sign a relinquishment in order that a young man with the greater part of his life ahead of him might file on the property with some hope of eventually obtaining a apatent-provided he lives long enough.
