“AIN'T NATURE WONDERFUL”
“Uncle Pete in St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.)
Children residing on the north side
of the Calamus River prevented by
high water from fording the stream
to attend the Lost Pond school on the
south side, are being ferried to and
from the school by fish power until
the floods recede. Motive power to
pull the flatboat used as a ferry back
and forth across the stream is being
furnished by Scar-Faced Billy, a big
pet pickerel belonging to Frank Bar
rett, a ranchman residing south of
Beaver Flats.
The high order of intelligence dis
played by the big fish, which has been
trained almost from infancy by its
master, enables the ferry to be oper
ated without human supervision which
otherwise would necessitate the part
time employment at the ferry of one
of the ranch hands at the present
4 time badly needed in spring work
about the place.
Scar-Faced Billy has been taught to
respond to the call of a whistle. Each
morning an hour before taking up
school he is summoned from his hunt
ing range in the stream near the
ranch to the boat landing, where the
flatboat loaded with childreen awaits
him. He then is fed a small piece of
fresh meat, of which he is very fond,
after which the end of the boat’s
painter is tossed to him and he makes
the trip across, towing the boat be
hind him. On arrival "on the south
side of the stream the children dis
embark, tie the boat up to a stake and
then after feeding the fish another
bit of fresh meat proceed to school.
In the afternoon after school iff dis
missed the children again proceed to
the river bank where Scar-Faced
Billy once more is summoned and the
process of ferrying across once more
repeated. The fish ferry has been in
operation ever since the ice went out
early this spring and so far without
an accident.
Scar-Faced Billy was found by Mr.
Barrel several years ago in a .small
tribu®-y of the Calamus near his
place. 5 The pickerel, which now
weighs between 30 and 40 pounds,
had been woundext in the head by the
spear of a carp fisherman and it is
from the scar of this wound that he
takes his name. He was nursed back
to health by Mr. Barrett and ever
since has evinced an extreme fondness
for his master, whom he follows in
the water whenever the latter is at
work along the banks of the several
streams on the ranch, all of which
empty into the Calamus. Sear-Facta!
Billy has been made an honorary
member of the Beaver Flats Ike Wal
ton League because of his great work
in preying upon nongame fish infest
ing the waters of the river and its
I tributaries.
