ALASKAN EEL iS FISH TALE
HERO SAYS CASSIDY
Alaska eels are perhaps the most
eccentric creatures in the known
world, according to a story told by
G. P. Cassidy pioneer Alaska pros
pector at the Hotel Northern, says a
recent issue of the Seattle P.-I.
“When the eels leave the headwa
ters of the Porcupine river for the
south every fall.” he says, “they trav
el Indian file, each hanging to the
ail of the ‘man in front,’ relying on i
he instinct and sagacity of their lead
:»r to guide them through the turbul
mt, glacier-fed channels.
“The natives watch anxiously for
he annual migration of the eels> for
hey depend largely upon these for
heir winter food. Late in the ;
latives can be seen patiently waiting
m the bank, on tVm nlo-t far
ooks like a big link of sausage to rip
>le the bosom of the river.
“By catching the leader, the native® ;
ire able to pull in the eels hand over
land like a rope, singing a weird j
song of thanksgiving while so enga~ j
'd. Of course, the most skillful fish
erman in the village is assigned to
the work of snaring the leader of the j
?el run When he is successful he is
idolized as a sort of Babe Ruth and
toreador combined. The comliest
maiden in the village is offered him in |
marriage, if he is single, and if he is
already wedded he can take her any-1
way if he wants to.”

ALASKA PORCUPINE OWL
The amazing manner in which na
ture has modified animal life in the
bleak Arctic to meet the rigors of the
climate proves very interesting to the
scientific mind, declares J. P. Chis
holm, trapper and big game hunter
from the upper Koyukuk river, Alaska
who is at the Hotel New Arlington,
says the Seatle Post-Intelligencer of!
recent date.
“The snowshoe rabbit is perhaps |
the best known of these, but the least |
known and perhaps the strangest is ,
the porcupine owl,” he says. “Unlike ;
the owl specimens of temperate dim- j
es, he can see only in the daylight, |
and as the night lasts six months !
long there it can be seen that he is j
under a handicap It would be just
as bad, of course if he could see only j
in the dark, because the days, too, are j
half a year long.
“To overcome this, nature has giv- j
en him a curious equipment and in
stincts. He has a resonant and vib
rant voice, which at a distance
sounds like a river boat’s whistle. He j
uses his voice in the same manner j
apparently, as the mariner uses his |
siren in a heavy fog. He hoots and j
then listens intently. If there is an
obstruction in the way, he will get
the echo, and it is surprising how he
can get around hummocks and avoid
bad going. Even a man or a four
footed beast of prey carries an echo
to his finely attuned ear.
“His hoot is also a warning to oth
er creatures to clear the way, for
equipped as he is with porcupine
