Danny Gross Saves Youth
 From River

To Danny Gross. first officer a. board the Hazel No. of the Bar rington Transportation Company. Lyle Woods. crew member aboard the No. 2. probably owes his life.
 On the last trip up river of the No. ? whtn the boat was tied up at the Boundary. Woods was tying the skiff up along side when he grasped the loose line of the skiff instead of the boat rail and went overheard Gross. who was on deck. heard the cry for help and ran to the rail on- ly to see Woods going under. Woods was unable to swim, so Gross went over the side and hauled him safely to the No 2.
 Lyle probably would have been a goner had not Danny been near by and gone into that boiling river af- ter him. said Capt. Hill Barring ton of the No 2.
 Another close one was recently recorded on the river near Jack sons Slough when a dirt bank gave away with Dick Jackson. we'll known resident Of that district, throwing him in the river. His son Raymond who was near by. raced along the rigtr, pushed a willow limb down to his father and the latter hauled himself to safety.

HONE-LOvING INSTINCT

Many wild animals and even our wild fowl have come to realize that there is no place like home.
 Strange. how many of our little birds do each year travel hundreds and even thousands of miles, and then return again the next season to rebuild their nests in the same identical spot
 Out at my camp above Duncan Canal. there is one old mother goose who. for four succeeding years. has rebuilt her nest in the same identical spot Each year she has been systematic and regular almost to a day In sunshine or storm she never falters or loses courage. At the end of the first week in April. 1941, she was sitting upon a cluster of six big round eggs. This season. 1922, an March 29th. l found her cleaning house. then on Saturday April 4th there reposed therein one big round egg. Regardless of the fact that the next morning there was considerable ice yet. on that morning which happen ed to be Easter Sunday. there repos- ed not one, but two big round eggs Near the end of that week. or April 10th, that nest was rounded 10 a full harvest of joy and prosperity.

By OTIS H. STEER Sage of Duncan Canal


 Far back inland on practically all the largest islands of Southeast Alaska, there are many streams and many ponds and lakes. This whole country is interlaced with one mighty network of streams and lakes. Streams that form a network that is likened unto the blood streams Cf the human body. It is the home of many creatures Of the wilds In practically all of those worth while streams and lakes there is an abundance of trout.
 In one of those largest lakes. with hook and line I've caught trout and l am we'll aware that those trout remain in that lake the year around because in the outlet the stream that drains this lake. there is one waterfall which is near one hun dred feet in height. Just how those trout ever managed to reach that particular lake is a mystery for someone to solve. Evidently they have been there for years.
 From time to time have made it a rule that I would never write on any subject without first having obtained some first hand informa- tion---proof to back up my state ments.
 h the many seasons that l have spent alone in the wilderness, 1 have observed and learned many inter- esting things about those creatures that inhabit this same region.
 Not long ago l recall reading a little story that was put out by One Noted Author" It told about a little orphan otter that was adopt ed by a mother beaver and what a fine and merry time that little otter had. It made me smile---that little story and that mans imagination were so preposterous. As a matter of fact, the beaver and the otter are two of the most bitter enemies; perhaps the most bitter hatred that may exist among all of our wild creatures, especially does this apply to the beaver.
 Beaver Vs. Otter
 While both animals are given to inhabit the same territory, and both are adapted to both land and water. and both have webbed hind feet, yet their natural habits are far from the same.
 The beaver is an unusually intel ligent little animal. Also, he is very clean and very systematic, He att tends strictly to his own business and is known to be quite peaceable, But, woe unto the animal that may come into contact with those pow erful cutting teeth of his, I have seen them bathe their face and their body and watched them wash their food before eating.
 While the land otter is very much the opposite. He has a habit of cluttering up the landscape with fish offals, along with other filthy habits. He happens to be endowed with a most ferocious appetite. His chief food consists of fish and I've observed them devour trout with such animated ferocity as to be amazing. Small fish are often swal- lowed whole---even trout up to ten and twelve inches in length seldom receive more than one or two crush

ing bites and then go down.
 4 large number of beaver ponds contain trout, and trout being the otters fayorite food, quite natural ly those beaver ponds become very attractive to the otter. and because of this. and the otter's gluttonous habits. no doubt the beaver is we'll justified when he resents this pes tiferous intrusion.
 For quite a number of years have been possessed with the idea that the otter is the most formid- able and the most wicked fighter
 nd worl3 come out a winner in .ny eneoueter with 5hs beaver. However. n the past few years, some coay.neilg evidence has eaus cd me to change my mind.
 While scouting arounl over the country locking tor wolves I found quite a iiitlr ot scenee Cf otter. It new remaip.d that haza patience and wal. fof the time when there should be open season and prime fur. When the open season arrived. Dec. 10. those ponds and lakes that lay back inland were all frozen over and lay buried under almost three feet of snow. That day I strap ped on my snow shoes and took three of my best otter traps in ny pack. When I arrived back in that country the snow gave ample evil dence that they were there and quite lively, too. The signs were all written out in the snow as plain as an open book. At one place there was a long string of old beaver ponds, four or five of them that were strung out for quite long dis tance. Then there was another ser ies that lay a mile or two further back. At this first and lower pond there is a lake of water---with long wing dams that extend far out each way. This small lake is. and has been for quite a long while, occu- pied by a colony of very active bea- yer.
 The beavers home is located un der a large tree that stands upon a small island out near the center of the lake. On my snow shoes, quiet ly sneaked up near this large house and found no otter had been near. Although the whole of this lake was now winter locked with snow and ice---outwardlv there were no fresh indications Of beaver, yet was we'll aware that they were at homo

shying away.
 Farther back there is a long string of ponds and at this time, practically all Of them are vacant of beaver (perhaps during mid win ter only). All of these ponds con tain trout and in all of them the otter have been fishing. I can see their trails in the snow where they have been running and sliding a. long and I see those little round holes near the bank and in some places where there is a small open ing or water spillway over the dam that is where the otter go under the ice.
 Those ponds were frozen over while the water was high and when the cold continued. the water level dropped and in this way leaves an air space under the ice near the bank where the ice is frozen to the land. This air space enables those otter to stay down under as long as they may choose
 At one large pond. about a mile above the others. there Is a large old beaver house that stands under a couple of trees upon a small is land near the center Of this pond. As drew near this pond, the steady swish of my snow shoes eased down to a near whisper as I sneaked up quite near to take a look around, found that those otter have taken over this vacant house and have established a temporary house of their own. I could see their trails coming and going and I stood very quietly as I watched a round hole over by an old stump along shore.
 Toy Subs In Action
 Down under this ice it sounded very much like there might be a dozen toy submarines doing a sham battle. The water gurgled and boil ed like the whole of the pond had become a royal battle ground Eyi- dently the ponds contain many trout and the otter were having one high old time.
 In the meanwhile, I sneaked up quite near this old stump and kept a close watch on that one little round hole and then quite suddenly I got a surprise---one large old feI- low came blowing up through the snow--not through my opening, but over at the opposite side of this old stump He crawled out upon the snow and took a look off the other way. He was a huge old fellow and very promptly I came alive and have him stretched out upon the snow before he had time to realize that I was there. I dragged him back near a tree and considered that he was quite a prize Then I continued my watchful waiting. However, quick as I have been and regardless of the fact that all those other otter are down under the ice, yet, very suddenly, that sham bat tie has ceased and all has become excedingly quiet. Not a sound do l hear, and although I keep quiet and watch for quite a while, there is no more sound and nothing becomes visible,
 STRANGE YET TRUE
 Often times it has been a matter of supposition as to how much of a water animal a wolf may be, or just how far he may swim from one
The Wrangell sentinel., 1942-05-29

island to another. That he does oc- casionally swim has been proven fact.
 On Kupreanof Island alone I've captured more than three score and ten wolves. There has not been one single black wolf in the bunch and I am inclined to believe that there are no black wolves on this island With a few exceptions. those wolves have all been very much alike. More SO than any place that l have ever been.
 However. shortly after I came back out to camp this March, caught one wolf that apparently was somewhat different. It was only medium in size but very dark down the back. a kind of smoky black It had heavy legs and big feet, with a very small dark head and a nose which had a tendancy to turn up at the end At first glance it reminded me of a wolverine. Although I am not inclined to believe that by any chance it might have been a cross with that animal
 While removing the skin Of this animal. found several porcupine quills imbedded in the skin. There are no poreupine on Kupreanof Island. Neither are there any on any of the adjoining islands that am aware of. It seems quite evident that this animal may have come from the mainland Quite a long swim. yes, yet more probably by way of Mitkof and Dry Island.
 A FREAK
 There is an old maxim, "One in a Thousand. I have found that this may also apply to wolves. Several years ago while trapping wolves on Etolin Island. I captured a wolf that proved to be this one in a thousand. In the many years that have come and gone. l have captured and kill ed several more than one thousand wolves and coyotes, yet never be- fore or since have I ever found one that was quite the same as this one.
 I shall not herein attempt to go into minute details concerning this particular wolf other than to state that this wolf proved to be neither male nor female Outwardly, and from a distance, this wolf appeared to be quite normal---only another very large old wolf. However, when went to remove the pelt, receiv- ed one very amazing surprise. Ap- parently. nature started out to create a pair of wolves then chang ed her mind and united the two of them with neither one of them more than half completed. Tn this way it grew and grew to become one great
