George Ball, We'll Known
 Telegraph Creek Guide And
 Dude Rancher, Freed By Wolves

TELEGRAPH CREEK, 8. C. George Ball, one of British Colum- bias best known big game guides and fur dealers, never thought he resembled Little Red Riding Hood until
 A few days ago Ball, who never carries a gun, took his half-axe and went up into the mountains back of the Ball ranch near Telegraph Creek to blaze a new trail for use of trips up the mountain. Near sum- set he started home. About four miles from his ranch he saw two huge black wolves not far from him running along with him behind a thin screen of trees. Silently, George "cussed" himself for not having brought a gun. Two wolves meant bounty money in the family sock. He walked on. So did the wolves. whining and whimpering like big dogs. Suddenly it occurred to sBall that there was quite a lot Of noise for two wolves. Quite lot of whin- ing and quite a tattoo of foot-pads on the hard-crusted snow. He stop ped and looked closer.
 Balls hair bristled at the back of his neck. Instead of two wolves---- there were nine. He counted them swiftly and they were closing in on him in V formation. Climbable trees are scarce in those Canadian woods. Most of them don't start to branch until eight or ten feet from the ground but there was one not

 The Mayor made no light plant committee appointments pending consideration by the Council of the various phases Of a suggested util- ity Board. Councilman Coulter sug- gested the appointment of three members of the Council on a com mittee with the Mayor with sub mission of several names Of citizens rom which the Council might seIect TWO to serve in an advisory capacity as a light committee. The matter was deferred to the next meeting tentatively set for April 29.
 Appointments also were deferred, the Mayor asking the various com mittees to submit estimates of costs of operating their various depart ments so that at least a rough es-I innate of the budget could be ar rived at before appointments are made and salaries fixed. Appoint ments to various city positions will be made at the next meeting, just before the end of the month. Coun- oilmen were agreed that requests for salary increases could be antic- ipated, thus making it essential to get an estimate of anticipated costs before fixing salaries. Application request was read from Light Plant Superintendent Hubert Wellons ask ing a raise to $350 per month, or S100 monthly over the present sal ary.
 Councilmen Coulter submitted al list of salaries paid in Petersburg, revealing that they were substan-I tially higher there than in Wran-I gell. It was also pointed out that Petersburg revenues were consider able higher.

too far distant he could make which could be scrambled into. Ball kicked off his snow shoes and reached the lowermost branch just ahead of the first vanguard of the wolf pack.
 For nearly two hours Ball sat in the tree, throwing branches at the hungry, green-eyed, growing wolves that milled around the base of the tree. At times they would re- treat into the dark shadows short distance away but George wasn't to be lured down. He could still hear the tread of their paws running oy- CT the snow
 It was well after dark that the wolves finally left, lured away per haps by the scent of moose or an other meal easier to get. Anyway Ball, who has spent the greater part of his life in the woods, says ii was the worst experience he ever had and he doesn't care to have it again.
 Wolves are said to be increasing rapidly in northern British Colum- bia and contrary to popular belief that they confine their predatory habits to old or sick moose, hunters and trappers have often come across freshly killed strong, healthy moose, according to old time resi- dents of the region.
 Be that as it may, one George Ball, of Balls Ranch on the Stikine is carrying a gun when he goes out in the future. He refuses to be Lit tie Red Riding Hood again.
