CARIBOU-THE ANTLERED HERD
 OF THE NORTH

Well may the caribou of the Northland be called the Gypsy line of the big game family. Year in, year out, these 1.-the limbed senti- nels of the forest roam the hills and valleys, the mountains and the plateaus, the rivers and the lakes of the Northland, in countless num- bers, always subject to the com bined attacks of whites, natives and beasts of prey. Theirs is a most free and easy existence, a life of continual roaming, but one that is not without it's perils and dangers.
 Those who have hunted for cari- bou find no great amount of sport in sucb pastime owing to the ex- ceedingly easy manner in which these animals can be slain. Pick up a rifle, wander into the hills, winter or summer, and most likely a stray band will be found out of which 1t is an easy matter to pick mark.
 Even to those who have never seen the animals it would be com paratively easy task to pick up the trail of a band and rest assured that without much strenuous ex- ertion, sooner or later, they will recognize the animals.
 There are three kinds of caribou, namely, the arctic, which resemble the reindeer, and which are found near the Arctic Circle; the timber caribou, which are slightly larger than the arctic caribou, and, third ly, the white-neck, weighing any where from 100 to 400 pounds. The white-neck is a pretty animal, trim of build, fleet of foot, and giving the appearance of a forest mon arch, with it's high imposing antlers which ride like so many crooked spears upon it's head. The hair of the caribou is murky brown, anded with white around the neck. Their long, delicate legs give notice immediately of great speed, and were it not for their speed and agility they would long since have perbhed from the northern forests from the rayages of the wolf pack which ever follows the caribou bands preying upon the timid ami mals necessarily, often killing off many thousands during a season.
 Some hunters say that caribou go back into the ranges when they breed, but others state that they breed anywhere. A COW caribou has anywhere from one to three calves every spring, but rarely three Just as soon as the young calves are able to make use of their own legs the bands start to trek over the coun- try, feeding along the river or on the verdure of the forests, but al- ways moving on to new stamping grounds. The antlers begin to grow when the animals are one year old. New horns begin every spring. The velvet drops off some time in Au- gust, but it is not until the winter is well over that the horns them selves start to fall away.
 An interesting yarn is told in conection with the horns of the caribou by an old prospector who was accosted by a tourist, and, upon being asked how the caribou got their antlers back every year, the old sourdough replied to the chechaco's query as follows:
 Well, it's like this ma'am, you see they generally have no use for their horns in the fall and so they leave them in some windfall until the next spring. when they all go back and just duck their heads into their own pair of horns and then they are away again. .'-Daw- son News.
