world wolves, when hunger pressed,
have not hesitated to attack man. The
very/ name wolf, therefore, was
brought to this country as a synonym
tor a fearful scourge. American wolves,
however, have rarely shown this fear-,
lessness toward man, probably owing
to the abundance of game before the
advent .of the white man, and to the
general\use of firearms among the pi

“When America was first colonized
by white men, wolvee were numerous
everywhere in. proportion to the abun
dance of game animals. As the popu
lation of the continent Increased and
most of Its large game was destroyed,
wolves disappeared from large parts
of their' former domain. They still hre
found, however, in the deep forests
along onr northern border from Mich
igan westward, and south along the
Rocky mountains and the Sierra
ivatture icj Asiiraiigo* mcxicu, anu mso
in all the Gulf states. This year a
trapper reported seeing a wolf in
northern New York state. .
'Variations in climate within their
range in North America have resulted
In several geographic races of wolves
which show marked differences in size
and color. The white Arctic wolf Is
the most notable of these, but the gray
or timber wolf of the Rocky mountain
eastern United States
the best known.. The ‘black wolf
is a color phase of the familiar
wolf. . /
"Gray wolves appear to keep the
same mates for life, and In the spring
their young are born in*natural dens
among great rocks, or In a burrow dig
for the purpose in a hillside. Their
litters consist of from eight to twelve
pups. Both parents exercise the great
est vigilance for the protection of the
several young. The male' kills and
brings in game and stands guard in
the neighborhood, while the mother de
votes most of her time to the pups
while Oley ~are~very. feHfaTTn ~~lir
"At other times of the year packs,
made up generally of parents and the
young of the preceding season, bunting
together with a mutual helpfulness in
pursuing and bringing down their prey,
show a high order of intelligence.'
Wolves are, In fact, first cousins of
the dog, whose mental agility is recog
nized bf all.
Buffalo Wolves Roamed Plains.
"During the existence of the great
buffalo herds, packs of big gray ‘buf
falo wolves’ roamed Ihe western plains,
taking toll wherever It pleased Jhem.
With the disappearance of buffalo
herds only a few of the wolves sur
vived. There have been enough, how
ever, not only to commit great ravages
among the deer and other game in
northern Michigan and on the coastal
islands of Alaska, hut also to destroy
much live stock in the Rocky moun
tain region.
"So serious did losses in cattle and
sheep on the ranges become that con
gress made large appropriations for
the destruction of wolves and other
predatory animals, and such disturbers
of the peace have been greatly reduced
in .numbers.'--Xhe necessity of-.action
of this kind is shown by the capture
