CANINE HERO DIES

Hero. the famous Newfoundland dog belonging to Dennis Kane, died last Friday morning. She was IA years old and had been failing for some time. A number of medals were bestowed upon Hero in recog- milton of the valorous feat she per- formed when she saved 92 lives from a watery grave on teh west coast of Newfoundland on Decem- Der 9, 1919. A mail steamer with 92 men, women and children aboard was caught in a hurricane which accompanied snow and sleet. After 16 hours of fighting against the storm the steamer was washed on a shoal at a place called Martins Point It was impossible to launch a boat, and as the vessel was slowly settling on the ledge and the waves were smashing over the decks of the wrecked steamer, the passen- gers were ordered up on the bridge and some sent into the rigging. The thermometer registered four degrees below zero and to add to the horror of the situation the storm continued unabatingly. All efforts of fishermen on the shore 200 yards away to get out a line were unavailing. Finally when all hope was gone, Hero was sent out into the raging seas to bring the line ashore. Time after time the waves dashed her back upon the rocks, but undaunted she finally breasted the mighty combers and tenaciously held on to the line until it had been secured ashore after which the fishermen completed the rescue.
 During the years MT. Kane has had Hero in Wrangell she has been a great pet of everyone around her.

Wolves are taking heavy toll of sheep and caribou in the upper Susitna district, according to c. b. Ruggles, who arrived in Anchorage recently from that section, where he spent most of the winter trap ping in company with Al Blair. The wolves did not stop at killing a sufficient number of animals foI their food requirements. They kill wantonly, ruthlessly, and thelr vic tins are invariably the pick Of the herd. MT. Ruggles said he count ed many slaughtered caribou, the carcasses forming a regular trail, indicative of the route followed by the wolves. In most instances the carcasses had not been molesteu after the animals had been brought down by their attackers, which proves beyond question that the wolves were not hungry when the caribou were killed. There were many caribou close to the Ruggles and Blair trap lines, thousands of the animals having spent the win ter in that region in spite of the activities of the wolves. But the mountain sheep did not remain long in one place. Unlike the caribou, they sought safety in flight, moving from one locality to another when the wolves bothered them.
 There is need of a change in the bounty law in order to encourage trappers to devote more of their attention to trapping wolves, in the opinion of MT. Ruggles. The law requires that large part of the leg be attached to the pelt for iden- tification purposes, and that partic- ular feature should be eliminated, MT. Ruggles declares. He also be- lieves that it will be necessary to pay a larger bounty in order to in- duce trappers to wage a real war The objection to the Identification requirements, KIT. Ruggles explains, is that trappers are now compelled to pack excess weight when bring ing in their pelts-just enough ex- cess to discourage many trappers from bothering with wolves The portion of the leg which must be left attached to the pelt is also a nuisance in caring for the pelts.
 Ruggles and Blair brought in several wolf belts, and they could have trapped many more had they desired to do so, but they found they could devote their attention to fox trapping with better financial results, their belts being more valu- able and less burdensome to carry More than once in their wearisome journey to Susitna Canyon where their furs were finally cached to be transported to Anchorage later by airplane, they were sorry that they had caught any wolves. The ex- cess weight proved a real burden on the toilsome trip through the deep snow. Both Ruggles and Blair agree that something must be done to protect the game and fur animals against the wolf menace, but they are sure the present bounty and the present identification require ments will not help the situation greatly.

The Douglas Island News said last week: "Rumor has it that the next grand jury at Juneau will be called upon to purge this section of a species of law breaking that has long been a stench in the nostrils of decent people.

Every good citi- zen, and especially every father, who is in possession of facts, has a duty to perform in this matter, which he should not evade."

 While the road commission party was engaged recently in cutting out the new winter mail road to the Yukon, they came upon some of the poles of the old telegraph line, which is said to have been laid just prior to the time the Great Eastern laid the cable between Europe and America. The intention was at that time to make telegraph communications between the two continents via Boring Straits and Siberia but the successful laying of the Atlantic cable knocked the project on the head. R. s. Cid dings, one of the road party, says one of the poles was still standing when they arrived there, but was so rotten that it fell at a small touch of the hand,

CITE NAVY men
AS HEROES

P0UGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 10
.1.N.s.l.--Ensign Tom Eddy. who
stroSed the Navy eight 10 many a
famous victory in years gone by;
Lieut.. Charles CBuckl Walsh, coach.
ing the Navy plebes in training here
for the intercollegiate regatta, and
Comdr. s. C. Kessing. graduate
manager of athletics at Annapolis:
were hailed as heroes today for
their quick work in rescuing five
persons from a seaplane which
crashed on the Hudson last eveing.
Due to the timely rescue work Of
the naval officers, the two passen-
gers seriously injured have a chance
to recover, physicians at Pough-
keepsie hospitals said today.
The two in a critical condition
are j. M. Blackwell, in St Francis
Hospital suffering from internal in
juries. and Harold Gibbs, in Vassar
Hospital with a possible fracture of
the spine. Both are from New
York.
The other two passengers, Arthur
Syrian and John Hess, of New York,
and the pilot, Clifford e. Mcmillan,
OF Mineola, N. Y, were cut and
bruised severely but will recover.
Plane Flew Low
The plane, which left Albany at
$40 p. m. on the regular run Of
the coastal airway line to New
York. was flying very low over the
regatta course, so low that Coach
Rusty Callow, OF the Pennsylvania
crew, had warned the pilot to fly
higher. Apparently the pilot In
tended to fly under the spans of the
railroad bridge, which Is 212 feet
high.
The cause Of the sudden crash
was not clear, although the pilot
said before colIapsing in the hos.
pital that his oil pressure was high
and his engine hot.
Praise Pilot
While ore of the injured passen-
gers criticised Mcmillan for flying
too low, others praised him for
diving under the water, smashing
the glass in the windows Of the
planes cabin and pulling the passen-
gers to safety. He was aided by
the Navy officers, who dashed to
the scene in the coaches launch.
