he would be able to play in the water. Not long afterwardss one night, the otter escaped. The next morning when the owner found that the otter was gone, he snatur- ally gave up all hopes of ever see ally gave up all hopes of ever see 1 ing him again. No sooner had he reached camp with the news than out of the water came the otte
 with fish in his mouth. He placed 1t at the feet of the dog who had
 become accustomed to seeing the otter and was on friendly terms with him. The dog and otter now became greater friends than ever before since the otter had his free dom, but try as he would the otter never could get the dog to eat raw fish or swim with him in the water. Everyone became very much at- tached to the otter and with the exceptions of crawling up on the men just after coAing from the water soaking wet or after taking a mud bath, he was as fine a pet as any one could wish for. No one had to care for him for he. caught all the fish that he needed as food, he slept most anywheres and never strayed far from camp. One day trapper dropped in. at the camp on his gas boat. AS he neared the wharf the otter swan out to meet him. The incident being so un- usual, he grabbed his gun and shot the otter without further delay. After making landing he went up to the mess house and told the cook about his good luck. The cook warned him that he had better leave while the leaving was good and he lost no time in doing so.

more than a match for an average dog.
 Unlike most animals their homes are unsteady for they are of rest
 less nature. Trey are constantly travelling, seldom remaining more
 than a few days at one. den. By careful investigation it is found that the otters pay visits to certain places at quite regular intervals, say, about every two weeks, where they are the rest of the time no one knows but I am sure that during their absence they must take somo very long trips. They are very sociable animals, and enjoy playing fully as much as children do. Abou' every so often in the otter country playgrounds may be found. These playgrounds are the places wherc otters gather in small groups to play. They delight in chasing each other about and in sliding and rolling. When travelling they go in pairs a great deal, seldom passing by a den or playground without stopping to insp. tt it unless sens- ing danger.
 Although the otter fur is not the most expensive it ranks among the best. This is the only fur that doesn't fade and is the most dur able known. The raw skin is tan ned and plucked before made into garments. Plucking is .he process of removing the guard hair. This Is done by blaming the skin side just enough to cut the roots of the hair, after the roots have been cut the hair is easily removed, leaving only the fine soft fur.
 When taken young otters become quite tame and make fine pets. At Hattie Camp, situated along Dun can Canal, there was a very tame otter. The superintendent of the camp was the owner of this un- usual pet. A pen was made for the otter which extended into the creek short ways in order that

THE OTTER
By HOMER WORDEN

(Reprinted from Stikine Messenger
 The American Otter (Lutra cana. densis), oftentimes known as The Land Otter, possesses the most in teresting habits of all our fur bear CTS yet there has been little written about him. These aniamls have bodies similar to those of the mink but are heavier set, the toes are webbed and the long tapering tail is slightly flattened and is quite thick at the root. The feet serve as oars to propel 1t through the water and the tail acts as a power full irudder which enables the ami nal to change it's course with great ease and rapidity. Along steep rugged shore is the ideal place for the otter. They make their dens at the foot of rock slides or in some convenient hole within easy reach of the water. In most cases there is an underwater passage way to the den. When its retreat is found the otter instantly takes to the water and dives remaining long time underneath it and rising at a considerable distance g. from the place where it dived. During the latter part of May the young otters are born. Sometimes these coast otters go inland to a lake or river where they bear their young, which range from two to five in number. Owing to their intelligence they still continue to exist in most parts of the United States and Alaska in spite of the untiring efforts of the hunters and trappers to get them
 They are caught in nets, traps of all kinds, and with various other methods. Dogs are used in chasing them from their dens but when forced to fight, an adult otter is
