Groundhog Day Without going into the reason for, or the origin of, Groundhog Day with which the News staff 'isunfamiliar.it is not out of place to tell of the popular superstition regarding this day, which falls tomorrow, February 2. The story goes that on that day the groundhog comes out of his winter quarters, takes a look- around, and in so doing definite-, Iy defines the brand of weather! which may be expected from that day on. If Mr Groundhog saes his shadow���in other words if the sun is shining���he goes ba:k into his den and sleeps for' (six weeks more; wh'c'i neans, that there still remains six weeks to elapse before old"Crim Winter removes his unwelcome frrm from the lap of Spring. But if the day is cloudy, and no shadows visible. Sweet Spring may come singing adown the dale at any time. Here, of course, we have no genuine groundhogs, but their close cousins, the whistlers, are well represented, and may be depended upon to carry on the groundhog's prerogatives. The whistler, by the way, is much larger than his . eastern cousin. He is highly esteemed as an edible delicacy by grizzly bears and a few benighted prospectors. Pressed and sun-dried, his carcass is worth $1 in Kit- man-cool, Kit-man-gar, Kitselas, Ki.spiox, Kitseuglaand Hazelton.
