CARRIES LIVE WOLF HOME
 ON HIS BACK

Walter Stensland, IT, son of the proprietor of Stensland's Dairy, at Ketchikan, found one-hundred- pound black wolf in one of his traps on Gravina Island when he was making the rounds of his trap line Sunday morning.
 Young Stensland, who was alone at the time, desired very much to take Mr. Wolf home and keep him as a pet He considered the advis- ability of going for aid, but fearing that in his absence the wolf might break loose from the trap and es- cape, he decided to make the best of the situation and tackle him alone.
 A wolf weighing one hundred pounds is a mean adversary to say the very least, but young Stensland made moose in rope, maneuvered about the beast until he finally sue ceeded in slipping it over his jaws. He pulled the rope taught, tied it securely and cut it, to use the re- mainder in securing the animals feet This was more difficult natter than the initial operation as the wolf had become enraged over the impromptu muzzling, and fought with every ounce of his hundred pounds. After what seemed an eternity to the young man, he sue ceeded in trusting the animal up in so secure manner that he made 2 very handy bundle to be thrown over the shoulders and packed home.
 His enthusiasm over the acquisi tion of something new in the line of domestic pets was somewhat damp ened on his arrival home, as the other members of the Stnesland fam fly called to mind several species of fOur-footed beasts much more to be desired as an object of affection, and young Stensland came to think more along the same line by the time Monday night had arrived, and the animal was killed
 The young man will receive a bOun- ty of $15 from the Government be sides, if he cares to sell the pelt. from $14 to $20, according to the size and quality. This is a remark able fine specimen, pure black anf strictly prime.
 Trusting up and muzzling 100 pound wolves in their native habitat lla# never been tried by the writer, which perhaps accounts for him being ablH to tell about young Stensland and If tlie time ever comes when that par ticular branch of the Government looking to the propagation or eE- termination of wolves, appoints young Stensland and the writer official wolf trappers, Stensland who evi- dentIy takes an interest in the Wcrok may do it all.
 New let other wolf-growing com munities come forward with a feat equaI1ing that of young Stensland.

FISHING IS BETTER THAN

 This catch brought $424S0, which, all in all, made it pretty fair days work
