On a recent trip to the Interior the tug team driver, Arthur Daigs and myself, came across the mute pathos in the tragedies and dire wilds. The great struggle for existence. Back in the morning we saw two red foxes. Your large "snowshoe" rabbits. Nearly all warming and milk tracks. A light snow had fallen during the night and all trees were frozen. On the river a red fox was traveling south, while a mink was traveling west. They met in the middle of the river on the ice, and there a great struggle took place. The snow was trampled down in a ten foot circle and beyond in the snow told the story that a mallard duck had twice been placed. The fox was the winner. One hundred feet away in the willows the fox family a snowshoe. In the basket
