SPINAL INJURY
PR0vEsFATAL
George Robbins, Hurt
at Nc Chord Field,
Dies Here

Victim Of fall while at work
Tor a house-moving firm, George
Robbins, IS, resident of Milton.
Wash. died early Thursday at a
local hospital.
Robbins apparently sustained a
spinal injury in the accident which
occurred Tuesday. He fell from
the roof Of small portable" office
which had been sold and was being
removed from McChord field at
the time.
Robbins employer, w. e. Becker
1923 So. Ainsworth ave, said that
eye-witnesses were unable to tell
exactly how Robbins happened to
fall. Only a moment after a by
stander told him to be careful"
Robbins tumbled down the roof
and plunged eleven feet to the
ground, landing on his head. He
was knocked unconscious. The
man was removed to the Pierce
county hospital, where he died.
= At the time of the accident, Rob-
bins had mounted to the top of
the structure to lift some low
hanging telephone wires that
crossed the road. The wires car
fied no dangerous current, but
Robbins may have received a slight
shock that caused him to lose his
balance. Becker, who has en-
ployed Robbins less than three
months, was 300 feet away at the
time and did not witness the fall.
Robbins, a widower, had lived in
Milton 80 years. He is survived
by three sons, Eugene, George A.
and Charles d. of Milton; his
mother, Mrs. Margaret E. Duffy,
of Milton; a sister, Mrs. Charles E.
Duncan of Edgewood, Wash; two
brothers, John A. of Milton and
Frank D. of Portland, Ore, and
seven grandchildren.
The body was removed to Mel
fingers mortuary, where funeral
arrangements were to be made.

known as the varying hare and
white rabbit. 1t belongs to "a
small group of closely related
species and geographic races of
mares peculiar to northern North
america. Usually these animals
i've in cool forested regions,
along low growing bushes near
sWampS and along streams.
The name varying hare or
snowshoe rabbit comes from two
characteristics that aid the an
1mal to live in the northland.
In summer, the rabbit has a
dusky or brownish fur but in
fal 1t begins to turn to a white
winter coat. The exact time OF
the .:hange depends upon the
season. In spring, the process Is
reversed and the animal ex-
changes its white pelage for a
brownish coat.
Though it lives in a country
Of deep SHOWS, the animal is
able to travel rapidly over the
surface, as it possesses large
hind feet and long, spreading
toes that are entirely covered
with a havy coat of hair and
form broad snowshoe-like pads.
Snowshoe rabbits are mainly
nocturnal, but are often found
by hunters because the animals
have a habit of making definite,
beaten runways that make the
rabbits eaSy to snare.
Popular as a game animal in
states along the northern Dor
der of the United States, the
average adult snoWShoe hare
weighs about five pounds and
Is important to Indians and
trappers in the isolated regions
OF the north as a source of
food.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1940-08-29
RAISE MAINE SNOWSHOE
B IN CAPTIVITY

Wild snowshoe rabbits may. be
romping around in pens in
your backyard one of these days
if experiments at the Maine
Cooperative Wildlife Rerearch
unit IN Orono continue to be as
successful as they have been
during the past year. According
to a recent report received by
the Fish and Wildlife Service,
United States Department OF
the Interior, the unit has kept
wild, live = trapped Snowshoe
hares in good health and vigor
by feeding them a commercial
rabbit food mixture.
These wild rabbits will breed
succe iSfully under penned con-
ditions, according to Jove Saw
eraid, a graduate student of
the unit who conducted the ex-
pertinent. The unit is financially
sponsored by the University Of
Maine, the Maine Inland Fish
and Game Commission, the Am
erican Wildlife Institute, and
the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Apparently prolific, female
snowshoe hares will mate again
on the same day they drop a
litter. Saveraid, who kept de-
tailed records of each rabbit in
the wired pens constructed on
a wooded plot near the Univr-
slty of Maine, also reported that
nine females mated for a third
time during the same season. It
is quite likely, he said, that
some will mate for a fourth
time.
The number of matings ap-
parently has no effect on the
number of young. Saveraid
found that both the first and
second filters averaged 2.7
young. No report was made on
the number of young in the
third filters.
From observations at the
pens, it is believed that the
height of the first breeding
season occurs during the last
week in March and the first
week IN April.
Must Reduce Mortality
Enterprising gam animal
breeders are discouraged against
starting snowshoe rabbit farms,
however, because the penned
animals had a high mortality
rate. OF the SO young born in
1889, only two are still alive.
Sixteen young (43 percent) were
killed by the mothers, four 90
per cent) escaped, four Go per
cent? were stolen by. young bows.
Two starved, and the remainder
died CT other causes.
In 1910, working under the
same conditions, Saveraid saved
tive of 81 young born. Of the
81 that died, % GA per cent?
disappeared, eight (12 per cent?
drowned, seven 90 per cent?
were killed by the mothers,
five rs per cent? were killed by
Wease!s. and the remainder died
from other causes.
Adults, too, suffered heavy
losses. Of 121 adult -snowshoe
hares live-trapped and placed ir
pens, 81 are still alive. The fol-
lowing factors were responsible
for most of the losses: So
called shock disease, SO (31.5
per cent?; predatory animals,
II (22.4 per cent?; escaped. II
- per cent?; and other causes,
Two I.6 per cent?.
Observers are of the opinion
that the mortality rate can be
reduced by building vermin-
proof pens on high, dry ground.
such pens are now under con-
struction at the Maine unit.
Mated females VIII be placed
In these pens before the Young
are born, but the young will be
separated from the mothers as
soon as the weaving stage is
over. -

Nautical Novelties
Death of a Famous Dog

DSaStxx "a - DO
Taxi, small fox terrier owned
by Comdr. William Brent Young,
USN, who had visited every
Atlantic port from Newport to
Panama, was fatally injured in
trying to drive off a doberman-
pinscher five times her size that
invaded the garden of her own
er in Chevy Chase, Md.
In the files of the Navy de-
partment, Taxi leaves behind
her an enlisted mans record,
which contains all service in
formation including footprints
instead of fingerprints. Her ser
vice was exemplary except for
the notation that she was "ab-
sent without leave" for one day
in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and
was returned to the U.S-S.
Vestal under guard" The pun
isE.ment resulting was 10 days
restriction aboard ship. She
knew all the drill signals and
the record shows that on May
is, 1881, she was awarded a
good-conduct medal and gran
ted furlouugh to visit home.
A military funeral was given
the little white dog, in the fam
ily'S back yard. Gold naval lace,
an American flag, her ball and
drinking bowl were buried with
her, and a bugler played taps.
Ship with Two Hulls
A two-hulled ship - the Brit
ish channel steamer "Castalia"
- vas designed after the In
dian native outrigger canoe! 1t
was one of the strangest ships
ever designed, and was launched
in 1874 for service on the rough
English channel. She had two
complete hulls, each 29O feet
long with a 20 foot beam, with
a rigid deck supported by
arched Orders connecting the
two hulls. Each half of the
strange vessel had its own en-
gines and boilers, and paddles
worked in the central waterways
between the hulls. Due to her
slowness she was discarded af-
ter two years service. She was
designed by Captain Dicey, for
merly of the Indian navy, after
light Indian outrigger canoes
that ride heavy seas with little
trouble.
Did You Know
Blue jackets in the U. S. navy
wear neither suspenders nor
belts with their trousers. The
trousers are made waist tight
fit. In the days of sailing ships,
when it was necessary to go al
oft to furl or unfurl sail, it was
not lesired to have any loops or
articles of clothing which might
be caught on Delaying pins or
pin rails.
In the year 1894 a French
cavalry unit won a naval battle.
The Dutch Fleet became ice
bound in the Zuider Zee. When
the french cavalry heard of this
they galloped across the ice,
surrounded and seized the fleet.
The "Torpedo" or ship worm.
is not a worm but belongs to
the family of mollusks. They
bore into wood by the use of the
file-like edges of one of their
shells. The shell remains the
same size but the neck grows
longer and longer as Their bur
row lengthens. Their food is
procured by two small tubes that
remain at the opening. This
small mollusk has sunk more
ships in the old days and sent
more men to sleep beneath the
waves than all the worlds ma
val battles.
The first anchors we have
any record of were those of the
Egyptians. They were made of
stone incased in a rope net
work, and were called a drag
stone" The Chinese used iron
and lead anchors 1000 B. G. The

BUTTER QUALITY UP

The quality Of regular produc-
ton creamery butter in Mon
tana is higher this year than
ever before, according to Thorn
as McMaster, acting chief of the
dairy division of the state de-
partment of agriculture. Regular
"pick up" samples from As
diaries throughout the state
rated from 80 to 90 in the pre-
MUM scale at the Great Falls
fair, while specially prepared
samples rated from 81 to nearly
95. Improved equipment and
efficient handling were credited
by McMaster with causing the
increase in quality.
