Vagaries of Trade Rat
Plague Camping Parties

Throughout the mountainous coun-
Try OF the West lives one of the most
interesting members OF the rat fam
lily. Fortunately this little creature
Is not despised as are other members
Of Its family, for Its peculiar antics
and strange behavior around camps
make 1t source of amusement, hut
frequently annoyance, to the camp
ers.
Its proper name Is the bushy-talled
wood rat, and 1t resembles q squirrel
more than rat. 1t Is also called
the pack or trade rat. deriving these
names from It's behavior when 1t In
vades camp sites.
Persons unacquainted with this
animal go through strange and be-
wildering experiences when camping
In Its territory. They may retire Mt
night, snngly between their blankets,
with their watches, coins, glasses
and other precious possessions placed
within easy reach, and on awakening
In the morning find them missing.
Or they may set their camp In shape
before the days hike and on their
return at night find that spoons,
knives. forks. tins Of food and other
small articles have gone the way OF
their watches and glasses. It Is
then they become acquainted With
the trade rat, for usually this little
fellow leaves something to mark his
trail or Identification. 1t may be a
bone, a stick or other mountain
refuse left In place of the stolen mr.
tIele. Careful. quiet watching for a
short time brings results. for the
marauder will return searching for
other articles 1t can carry away. As
soon as ii finds what 1t wants, out
| to It's cache 1t goes. This may be
| under a stone or brush pile and In
| vestlgatlons usually reveal all of the
stolen articles. II apparently has
no choice In the goods 1t takes and
