good joe pointed out he stated he makes his own harness out of canvas a wolf would chew a set of leather harness to shreds he declared one wolf i used as a lead would take a three quarter inch rope in his mouth and without any exertion or strain on a muscle would cut it in two in the vicinity of gogoma- joe even skiddedlogs with his fam ous wolf team the last winter he had them he recalled the ice on the lakes was too thin to support a team of horses and there were no roads leading from gogoma into the bush camps so he had an all winters job of narrow escapes he said one day i was skidding and i had a dog on the load- when i turned around one wolf pete made for me i had a pair of mitts in my sweater pocket and i was lucky he bit the mitts and just grazed my stomach i grabbed a jackpine tree and pulled away shouting to another fellow to bring me my whip three cracks over the head with the butt of the whip and i knocked the wolf out i was sorry when i saw him on the ground for i thought i had killed him when he came around about five min utes later i gave the command and headed for gogama i never went near him and shortly after that he became tame i could even let him run loose and he would come to me on command although he did try breeding wolves he never had much succ ess joe said- his attempts to breed a female wolf with a male husky were unsuccessful he did however succeed in breeding three female huskies with male wolves and one of the offspring is still in gogama he said a resident of gogama since 1920 joe collected his first pure wolf team in 1923 and the following year exhibited them in montreal in this team he had nine brawny timber wolves the largest 95 pounds and the small est 70 pounds in 1925 with the same team joe went to toronto but the big thrill of his life came in 1926 when he boarded a cnr- train at gogama bound for new york to exhibit at mad ison square gardens when i mushed them down broadway thousands of people stood in the streets cheering he said and now joe wants to repeat that experience and when he gets his new team together he will be on broadway again with bells on brillinger clan exhibits relics from page one proud possession of john
