 Dear Leopold: 
 
 
            I believe that you will fully appreciate the action 
 in the Partridge-Weasel picture which I am attaching hereto. 
 Its description is covered in the attached letter, which I 
 wrote up for one of our local papers. This particular 
 occurrence offers concrete evidence that partidge bury themselves 
 under soft snow and also that the weasels apparently know 
 that fact and hunt them under the snow. 
 
           The freedom with which the natives in the back- 
 woods treat wild animals is of continual interest to me. 
 I recently secured a picture of a Northern woodsman who had 
 taken two yearling moose and had trained them to harness. 
 They did very well on light loads, but refused to pull 
 heavy loads. The picture I have, showed them harnessed to 
 a load of logs. 
 
           I ran across two tame yearling black bears last 
Falls, who were hanging around a prospector's cabin. They 
came readily to a rattle of a tin can, even though they had 
reached about 100 lbs. in weight and were far from being small 
cubs. When they had exhausted our possibilities for chocolate 
bars, by climbing all over us, they would get into all sorts 
of mischief. I obtained some good pictures, pulling one 
down out of a tree by hooking my strong bow over his ear. 
 
           Later, the prospector sent me some pictures he had 
taken with one of them hitched to his dog sled with a 
regular harness. The bear was not at all frightened, but 
preferred to stand on the sled, rather than in the deep snow. 
Later, when annoyed too much, he climbed a tree with the sled. 
 
          Klopsteg was here yesterday and we enjoyed his vipit. 
 
 
Yours 1
