far as known, is the only specimen of the North¬ 
western wolf in any museum outside of Oregon. 
The skin of an adult Northwestern timber 
wolf measures about six feet from nose to tip of 
tail; the nose pad is from one and a quarter to 
one and three-quarter inches wide; the heel 
pad is from one and a half to two inches in 
width and the upper canine teeth are about one- 
half inch in diameter at the base. Several 
wolves killed in the Cascade Mountains show a 
wide range of coloration, from the black phase, 
which is a shiny black on the back and dusky 
on the under parts, to the lighter phase, which 
is yellowish brown with black-tipped hairs. These 
black-tipped hairs are thickest on the back, some¬ 
times giving the animal the appearance of being 
solid black on the back. The under parts of the 
light specimens vary from dirty-white to cream 
color. The tail is long and bushy with a black 
tip. The claws, although no longer than a 
coyote's, are much thicker and heavier built. 
Owing to the wide variation of color in the 
wolves, they are known locally under several 
names as “Black Wolf,” “Gray Wolf” and “Tim¬ 
ber Wolf,” but there is only one species known 
to occur in the state. Wolves are very destructive 
to domestic animals as well as game, so the 
Fish and Game Commission has offered a bounty 
of $20 in addition to the $5 state bounty on each 
wolf killed. This bounty is often earned by 
homesteaders in isolated parts of the state, and 
assists them in their first years’ settlement while 
developing their lands. 
These wolves are probably the most difficult to 
kill of all the predatory animals in Oregon. They 
are very wary and cannot be hunted successfully 
with dogs. Several cases are recorded where 
FOREST AND STREAM 
wolves have turned on dogs and killed them. 
Mr. George Kelly, has on three occasions, losr 
valuable “varmint” dogs by having them trail 
wolves. 
In some places wolf bounties have been paid 
on coyotes, and in order to guard against this, 
the Fish and Game Commission has secured 
several skins and skulls showing the variation in 
color and the great difference in size of skulls 
of the wolf and coyote. 
The following table shows the number of 
wolves on which 'bounty has been claimed from 
October 1, 1913, to April 27, 1914:

Lancaster, Pa., June 24.—The East End dis¬ 
trict of the International Federation and the Rac¬ 
ing Pigeon held their 500 mile race from Green¬ 
wood, South Carolina, to the lofts at York. The 
official liberator, G. J. Snyder, telegraphed “birds 
liberated at 5:02 a. m., weather fine.” At home 
the weather was clear, with strong shifting 
winds from the northeast to northwest. Although 
considering the strong winds in this section the 
birds had to fly against, it was one of the best 
races from 500 miles that was ever flown to 
York. The most birds ever to fly to York from 
Greenwood in a day was eight. This time it 
was increased to twelve, which is considered 
very good. H. H. Stough himself had seven to 
return day of toss. Mr. Stough also wins 
average speed diploma with 1,002-381 yards per 
minute. Also best percentage diploma with 33 
1-22 per cent, of day returns out of 85 birds 
sent. Twelve homed same day and nineteen the 
second day. The result of the race is as fol¬ 
lows :
