Big Buffalo
 Takes Over Road At Big Delta

Up Big Delta way they have their earthquakes, but this summer Big Delta has another shock-producer in which there is a great deal more local interest, according to reports emanating from the Interior.
 In approaching that point several motorists, have been held up for some time, unable to proceed. One Fairbanks man reported a delay of over an hour All because there was very determined fellow in the road who would not let him pass. He is a buffalo with suilen dispo- sition.
 The general theory is that the buffalo has wandered away from the bison herd which is kept back of Big Delta. At any rate, he has taken over the highway as his pub lie domain. and according to reports, often stops motorists by just re- fusing to leave the road, lowering his head as if bent on business.

 The measure does not even men ton the Supreme Court and was passed without a record vote after a prefunctory debate.
