Out of the North come many won- dertul tales, hut not many that rival | the story told by Frank Perry, Juin- | ing engineer, of Vancouver. He has spent fourteen years in the Arctic regions of the Northwest,' between latitudes 57 and 63, and longitudes 122 and 131. He traveled light, us- "ing only four pack dogs, and made his food from concentrated extracts of moose meat. Being far from the usual run of river and lake traffic, he came into touch with only a few Indians, and even these had super- stitions that kept them' out of the | great valley into which he ally wandered. This valley garden of Eden, a sort of se tropical Paradise surrounded -b Arctic rigor, and is wonderfully | rich. | Perhaps the most striking part of! his story is the discovery of the Hot | | ed the pThe hu ish Columbia. Forest fires in north- ern British Columbia this season have had a peculiar effect upon some of | the wild animals of the woods, judg- ing from some of the stories. | A fight between a fire-crazed bear and a mule in which the bear was worsted occurred at L. Masofi's ranch at Bednesti, B.C. The forest fire routed the bear from its lair, and in" its dash fromethe flames into the open country its collided violently with a jack-mule. The bear was promptly stretched out on the ground by a double tattoo from the capable hind hoofs, and the mule calmly resumed its Interrupted grazing. Thoroughly angered, the bear pick- ed up and cautiously approach- ule from a different angle. paw was brought down with a nding twack on the mules ribs. This was unfortunate. The hoofs were again brought into play), after a quick, accurate manoeuvre for A NAVY CUT CIGARETTES Spring Valleys, in all 200 miles in| Position, and the fight was called off | length and from 25 to 40 miles wide. | 80 far as the bear was concerned. | Struggling up the side of a hill, with | Mr. Mason, who had witnessed the | his two faithful dogs, with an Arctic | unusual encounter, dashed to the | gale driving chills through his almost | house for a rifle to finish the bear, | exhausted constitution, he found | should any life be left.

When he descended he found large lakes of | almost boiling water, generating | clouds of vapor, which forming the fog, protects the valley from the | frosts and fosters vegetation. The | soll is the richest he knows of, prob-| ably 100 feet deep with natural fertilization from the hot springs | and volcanic minerals. In this valley Mr. Perry found large deposits of minerals with a high percentage of | gold, silver and copper. He has sent a large number of samples of these deposits to be analyzed in various | American universities, and he has in| his possession documents showing | the chemical composition of the finds. | The vegetation was exceptionally | rich, not only in different forms, but | iu the size of growth. He found! willows, the branches of which were | fit to walk upon. Grasses had pro-| portions double the size of those which we are used to see. And as a& consequence, animals flock to the! valley. "I saw rose bushes of the | size of trees, with stems as thick as! my forearm and so dense it was al-| most impossible to break through. | Everything growing had an abnormal | size, and sometimes I really did! wonder whether I still was wander | Ing in this world, or if I had ascended | to a country worthy of the descrip- | tions which made Dante immortal," | the explorer remarked. Other fea- | tures of the new paradise were birch | trees 150 feet high, bending over | and nearly: touching the ground, | During the winter there was no frost, | the hot springs and lakes providing | a protecting veil of fog. Mr. Perry | also found iron and coal, the latter almost forming a geparate mountain, | one seam 800 feel across, while the | 200 feet in thickness. He algo thinks | he has found a guartz deposit free from overburden and which ought | to bear development. "Why I claim | to have traversed unknown country is because I know as a fact that the! only human beings that ever are in! these districts are the fur traders and they always use the rivers and | waterways as means of transporta- | tion. I have met a few Indians, but! have found they nurse a tradition | that the valley is haunted by what we know as pre-historic animals. By | a discovery I found out the origin | of their fantastic belief. | "This part-of the country has not | been exposed to the destructive | forces of glaciers, and I was not | astonished to find footprints in! sandstone of a three-toed monster, I also saw % number of bones of | immense size, in remarkably pre- | served condition, north and west of the head waters of the Findley river. | The bones are not fossilized and | those exposed to daylight are sec. tions of the spine and the hips." | By excavation Mr. Perry thinks that! a find would be made of much Lis~ toric value. It is only in one valley that the engineer has seen signs of | the muscular monsters which ruled | 'the world thousands of years ago, | and the situation of the remains sug- | gests that some natural disaster closed them in this valley and drown- | ed them. The creek, which has in| modern time been flowing through | the valley, has in its erosional ackion exposed the giants. Mr. Perry was from early age made familiar wivh the -mining conditions in Montana and Idaho. He has always studied | geology and the vast open spaces in | the North were always the flelds on | Which he used to let his imagination | Play in younger days. He is now| through with the foundation work of | his scheme. ---- Captain John Cadwallader, of Van- Gouver, British Columbia, who has Just returned from South Georgia after a two years' hunt for told the of a remarkable gramophone cort. gave in the Southern Seas, with thousands of largest fron ore seam measured about | ever, bruin managed to get groggily | to his feet and return to the less | vironment of the forest | exciting en fire. A fire patrol ranger is sponsor for | another bear story. While making a survey in the mountain districe he came upon a young cub suffering from severe burns on feet and body. The youngster was whimpering from the pain and the forester took pity on it, lifted it into his car, and there made it fast with some rope. The patrolman started on his Jour- ney only to discover that dhe mother bear had appeared and was in hot pursuit. As the track ran uphill at this point, the bear, making long strides, gained steadily, and the need for strategy was clearly Indicated. The forestry book of instructions does this, but the ranger was resourceful and decided that the best plan would be to throw the cub overboard. His attempts to untie the knots on the lashings which secured the youngsier to the machine however, proved futile. Puisuer and pursued came to a yet steeper grade, with the advantage ail with the former. Finally, with one mighty effort, the old bear threw herself on the back of the car, holding on by her claws and paws. This is w. to retire in ere the forester decided avor of the enemy. He dove off the car, and regained his feet in time to see it continuing its Journey eastward, with a mother and child happily reunited as its passen- gers. Later the automobile was found, run down and everything in- tact, except the side of the seat where the cub had been tied, the old bear having torn it out to release her off- spring. S------------ A Mud Turtle's Nest. oe The little mud tcrtle is a common inhabitant of the frequent sluggish creeks of this northern country. It Dossesses to so marked a degree the Qualities differentiating a turtle from all other back-boned animals! Safe within the fortress of a shell, by which it is protected as completely as any .species but the terrestrial box turtle, it lives a life of serenity and monotony, supposedly as free from worries as that of any mortal creature. When tired of contemplating the shimmering dragon flies, the spread- ing ripples in the wake of a chance muskrat skirting the reeds at the water's margin, it has but to draw its head beneath the surface and sink down through the concealing water weed to blend with the velvet mud at the bottom of the creek, thus in peace and harmony with its surroundings living out its allotted years, however many they may be. Certainly some individuals of this species, with green water moss growing on their mud colored backs, seem old indeed. Near high noon of a summer day, with the wind in the south and sun burning through a light haze, a fe- male mud turtle had climbed upon a thinly grass-grown point of land, scraped an excavation in the sandy soll with her hind feet, and was lay- ing 'or preparing to lay her eggs therein. A naturalist paused but an instant to make note of the spot and then moved quickly away so as not to interrupt the procedure. Some hours later he return Scarcely an indication remained that the ground had been broken, but, digging"down, six eggs were brought to light. They were quite unlike the long, leathery shelled: egg of the painted turtle or the spherical eggs of the snapping turtle About one inch in length, a little more than one-half as broad, they had hard shells like the eggs of a bird, and were pretty, translucent pinkish white in color, Learn to Laugh.
