the Indian bear dog, Mr. Bott de
! cided he would like to own one.
i He wrote to a fiiend in Alaska to
send him one, and sent a check
in payment. The friend respond
ed promptly and said the dog was
on the way.
Mr. Bott waited and waited, but
no Indian bear dog arrived from
Alaska. That was more than a year
ago, and after several months of
correspondence, and attempts to
trace the dog, he gave up. The
friend in Alaska, who had been
seeking to trace the animal from
that end, also gave up, and return
ed Mr. Bott’s check.
But Mr. Bott decided he wanted
an Indian bear dog more than ever;
so last month, he wrote again to
his friend, asking him to send an
other dog.
The letter had scarcely been
mailed when he received a letter
from a man in Wrangell, Alaska,
saying, in effect, “Your dog is here.
If you want it, send transporta
tion.”
Mr. Bott telegraphed, and has
tened to write another letter can
celing the second order for an In
dian bear dog. He was afraid he
I might have more Indian bear dogs
than he would know what to do
with.
So the original dog arrived at
last, a year late, but all the better
for the delay. During the year
which it remained in Wrangell
(why it was delayed there for so
long is a mystery yet to be solved),
it had lost much of its wild nature,
and is now well on the way to do
mesticity.
A letter from a representative of
the Stikine River Transportation
Company informed Mr. Bott that
the man who had been keeping the
dog declared Stikine to be one of
the best bear dogs he ever ran
across “and very dependable.” On
one occasion Stikine “treed” a bear
and kept it at bay for two days
until his temporary master came in
search of him.
The change from Alaskan climes
to Arkansas and from tracking
bears to riding in automobiles was
almost too much for Stikine at
first, but now he is becoming ac
customed to the change. In fact,
he almost likes it.
During those first days of nos
taglia, Mr. Bott placed a mirror
beside the kennel in the back yard,
hoping Stikine would derive some
comfort from his own image. But
Stikine is no Narcissus, and found
little companionship in a critter
that disappeared the moment he
walked around behind the mirror.
The dog is still somewhat dis
trustful of most human beings, ex- «
cept Mr. and Mrs. Bott, but will '
warm up a trifle on closer acquain- '
tance. His handsome brush is his i
especial pride, and he will tolerate j
no trifling with it.
Mr. Bott plans to show him at i
some of the dog shows in Arkansas !
this winter.
Incidentally, the name “Stikine” J
is derived from the river down i

which the dog came, is pronounced
“Steekeen.”
Mr. Bott says that “the dog has
! created a lot of attention by his
| own advertising, i. e., that howling
at night. We expect the neighbors
to be asking Mr. Bott to go to other
climates (and not to the ‘frozen
north’ either). Stikine is not fond
of our cooked meat. He no doubt
misses his good old dried salmon.
If anyone has a spare salmon swim
ming lose in his yard, send it to
Stikine. But be sure to label it
properly so it will not be eaten by
‘That Fellow Bott’. ”
