GRAY WOLF COMES UP
TO THE CABIN DOOR
A gray wolf, which came up to
within 15 feet of the cabin door and
stole a froeen rabbit lying there, was
killed recently at Rainy Pass by O.
P. Rees, Star Air Service radio oper
ator, according- to a radio dispatch
from Mr. Rees to Anchorage. A few
seconds later he killed a black wolf
which evidently had been prowling
about the cabin -with the gray one.
Roused by the barking of his mal
amute dog, the radio operator ran
out with a .22 caliber rifle ar.d spied
the black wolf standing in the river
flats looking at the dog and cabin.
Hastily calculating that he'd need a
little more artillery for the task, Mr.
Rees went back for a larger rifle. He
came out again and saw the black
wolf coming closer.
Suddenly the operator’s wife spied
a gray wolf from the window of the
cabin, partly hidden !>y a snow bank
and only six feet away from the
frantically barking malamute, which
was chained and straining to get at
the wolf.
Rais’ng his rifle, Mr. Rees dropped
the gray wolf, then swung his aim
on the black one and killed the lat
ter. Upon examining the tracks, he
found the gray animal had come
within 15 feet of the cabin door, stol
en a frozen rabbit there, taken the
rabbit down the trail and dropped it
and then approached within six feet
of the dog.
“If anyone doubts this,” the mes
sage said, “the signs will be here till
the first snow for examination, and
we have the wolves.”

NEW YORK, March 6—American
industry made long strides this year
toward prosperity in thumping pro
portions, analysts agreed as they
studied the data which indicated net
profits exceeded seven billion for the
best year since li»29.
A tentative estimate would indicaw
a 30 per cent advance from 1933 al
though the amount is still 40 per ee
under the 11 billion, 650 millior
earned by corporations in 1920.
The figures were based on state
ments from 1,000 corpora:!. r.s. ! m
