Dawson News: Members of the
Yukon council are to be commend
ed on taking up the matter of leg
islation for protection of the live
fox industry la tho territory. The
News long has argued the oppor
tuntles afforded here in fox farm
ing, and now net only the people of
this territory but those far beyond
Yukon's border are awakening to
the advantages possessed by this re
gion. It b known that Yukon's furs
brings tl»v highest prices. The
cold, northern climate produces a
superior fur.
In a few years the foxes of this
territory produced in captivity will
be among the largest assets. The
fedferal government bo far recog
nizes the importance of the artifi
THE REASON FOR VILLA'S
INFLUENCE OVER SOLDIERS ■
Chihuahua, Mex., March 30—
Noontime of a cold raw day, in the
mountains; a score of Mexicans
sitting at a campfire 'heir guns
and cartridge belts beside them; an
American miner rides up to the fire.
"Welcome, senor," says the captain. I
The Mexicans feed the newcomer. |
The time comes for him to go. He [
starts off over the mesa on his >
horse, after hearty goodbyes. "Wait,
senor, one minute," shouts the cap-.
tain. The American obeys; the
captain comes running up to him. |
"When you go to Chihuahua don't j
tell Villa that you saw us sitting I
around the campfire at noontime. |
You see he sent us out to find the
bandit Castillo. He would not like
to know that we were resting at
noontime. We were only talking
over what we had better do to find
that diablo Castillo. But don't tell
Villa, huh?"
This is only one of the hundred
incidents that shows the tremen
dous power that Villa exerts over
his soldiers. All of Villa's soldiers
are volunteers. While Huerta, in
the Mexican capital is seizing
farmer boys in the market places
and dragging fathers from their
families at midnight to get soldiers,
Villa is getting them in this fashion
"We wish to join your army,"
say two Mexicans, approaching
the rebel leader. "Did you ever
fight before?" snaps Villa, half
closing his dull, gun-metal colored
eyes. "No, senor." "Why do you
wish to join?" "For our country,"
answered the peon. "Well, I'll take
you," says Villa. And then he snaps
out: "But if I ever see you ruiy. or
quit fighting I'll kill you myself.
Understand?" "Si, senor." declares
the delighted peons.
Villa's looting in a store in Man
aca was the height of orderly pil
lage. He had given orders that
any man who looted would be shot,
and five men were killed that day.
But he learned that i Fpaniard,
owner of the largest store in town,
had been working against the rebels
The next day Villa himself went
to the store and took possession.
Spuads of twenty men wer permit
ted to enter the store at a time.
"Hand down those hats,"said Villa,
pointing to a supply of broad-brim
med Stepsons. The clerk brought
down a hundred or more hats.
"Come here, Jose," ^aid Villa
to a soldier. "Take off your hat."
Then Villa slammed a new Stetson
onto the head of the happy soldier,
and twisted it about critically.
"Doesn't fit you, huh? Here try
this one," slamming on another
sized hat. All day long and all the
next day Villa himself worked fit
ting coats, trousers, shoes, shirts
and all the things his men needed.
"This isn't looting," he explained.
"Its confiscation of warfare." But
there was another side to it. Villa
met half a dozen of his men, later,
all dressed up. "Got everthing you
want?" Villa asked them. "Got
shoes, clothes, money, hats, guns,
ammunition, everything you want?"
"Si, si, senor, we are very happy
content.". "Very well, then"
cial propagation of the animals that
it has had an exhaustive work
compled on the scientific aud com
mercial phases of the business,
and has published the work for
free distribution. A11 the details
cf experiments and widely gathered
data are set forth. The vastness
of the fur business in the world to
day is revealed as astonishing.
The Yukon council will do well
to put on such restrictions as will
protect the territory from deple
tion of its splendid native foxes,
martens and similar animals. At
the same time there should not be
too much red tape as to registra
tion and the like. If the animals
are exported they can be register
ed at NVhitehorse or Dawson. If ex
perience demands further legisla
ton, there will be ample time to
enact it in another year cr two.
snapped Villa, with a dreadful look
on his face and with an oath. 'Now
I've taken care of you, but if you
don't take care of nie when it
comes time to fight I'll kill you
with my own guu."
"Why don't you quit?" a friend
asked Villa, one time early in the
game, at Juarez, when things look
ed dark for his side. 'Vila pointed
across the Rio Grande to El Paso.
"When I see El Paso 'villi its fine
buildings and its clean homes and
Its clean, well clothed gentle child
ren and women, and the.i look at
juar^z, with its dobe houses, Its
muddy streets, its rotten schools
and its poor ragged children and
women, it makes me mad. Our wo
men and children have as good a
right to fine thing .is the womeu
and children'of the Uuited States
have and it's the fault of Mexican
men that they haven't got them.
We've let a few people get every
thing and we've got to get it back
again." 1
There's one American, some
where in the southwest country
that Villa would like to find. "1
was stranded once," says Villa "in
Santa Fe, X. M. There was a price,
on my had in .Mexico and I didn't
have a cent. I couldn't get a job,
either. I got to talking with an
American fellow on the street and
he tool: me to a restaurant and
bought me a ten dollar meal ticket.
That was the last I ever saw of
him, ^ut I'll do favors for 10,000
Americas just to pay him back."
But there's very little of the soft
side to Villa. One of his best
friends, an acquaintance of h's boy
hood, betrayed him. Villa sen
tenced him to death. The man's
mother and sister came to Villa; he
had known them from his child
hood. "You had a mother and
sisters", they pleaded. "Don't kill
Manuel." "I have no father, no
mother, • no sisters, no brothers, no
friends, no memory," said Villa,
when the welfare of my country is
at stake." That night Manuel died.

POLAR BEARS.
Powerful, but Timid, They Rarely At
tack Human Beings.
Observations miide throughout a
number of years by officers of the
United States revenue ma/lne prove
that the polar bear's limit of range
is St. Matthew Island In Bering sea.
A few of these bears were at one time
seen near the seal islands, being adrift
upou a huge ice Uot\ On St. Matthew
island the bears have lairs and dens
among the rock glens that abound
upon the island. They feed almost
entirely upon,seals, walruses and dead
drift whales, and. though disdaining
to devour t.'ie blubber, the flesh Is
greedily consumed. A carcass upon
which a bear has passed his gastro"
| nomic judgment reveals the skin and
I Its fatty lining torn asunder, the flesh'
j being cut into strips and shreds by "the
powerful claws and teeth. A single
I blow of a bear's paw upon a seal's
; head suffices to kill it and, dragged
| out upou the Ice. a meal is soon dis
j patched.
In summer the hairy coat of the
polar bear turus to a dingy yellow,
and its pelt tbeu becomes of no value.
They have not near the courage ot
the interior bears and will rarely at
tack a persou unless there are two or
"three in company. As soon as they
scent a man approaching they, as a
rule, will shamble off as fast as they
•can, and there are but few records of
:a bear killing any of the uatlves along
j the northern const
The Eskimos are very partial to the
; .meat of the white bear, but the blub
ber they reject, and even the dogs, un
less they are very htmgry. turn up
• their uoses at the oily aiass. Ten
j :years ago it was a hard matter to se
en ce the entire skin of a polar bear.
The Eskimos formerly cut off the
head and claws and either threw then
.'into the sea or buried them in the
ground. One of their superstitious is
that should the head and claws not be
disposed of the friends of the dead
animal will see the remains and (con
sequently leave that particular district
and will never return.—Juneau (Alas
ka) News.
