ALASKA'S EXPERIMENTAL FUR FARMS.
(Cordova Times)
The last legislature passed one bill which was es
pecially noteworthy—that providing for the establish
ment of an experimental fur farm or farms in the Ter
ritory, to be looked after by a man with extensive ex
perience and familiar with fur animals and their habits.
An appropriation of $15,000 was made, with the expec
tation that it would be matched by the federal govern
ment.
We have had appropriations for fish hatcheries, ap
propriations for agriculture and mining, but one of the
greatest industries in the Territory has been left to be
developed largely by guess work and with no help from
the Territory or from the United States government.
Furs are third in wealth production for the Terri
tory, with fish first and minerals second. Since the time
of the Russian occupation, millions of dollars worth of
furs have been shipped out to foreign and domestic mar
kets. During late years, propagation of fur bearing
animals, chiefly foxes and minks, has been tried with
more or less success, owing to the knowledge and ex
perience of the grower. The fur market offers a tre
mendous field for the young man of judgment and in
dustrious habits. To the man who studies his subject
and reads up on all phases of animal life, there is a sure
return.
But what success has come is through experimenta
tion on the part of the grower and largely from guess
work as to their food and* care. Had there been some
place where research work was conducted, where ac
curate information could have been furnished, it would
have saved many a fox rancher from the shoals of ad
versity. Veterinary instruction and practical training
should be taught at the university with other courses.
There is a vast stretch of land along the Richardson
sighway where fur farms can be established, and where
almost anything can be raised for feed for the animals.
Fi9h are plentiful, as well as rabbits and other small
game. Great sections of marshland can be obtained
where muskrats would do well, and where fox and
mink could be raised in their native habitat. Home
steads of 60 acres may be taken up almost anywhere.
It is also true of dozens of other districts in Alaska.
'The young man who likes an active, outdoor life,
with plenty of sport connected with his work, could
make money and become independent in a way by com-,
mg to Alaska and engaging in fur farming. It is a fas
cinating life, full of hard work and worry, but what
business that is successful is not?
With an intensive course in fur farming at the uni
versity, Alaska would soon be dotted with fur growers.1
This would add both to our wealth and our population.
An industry greater than gold and surpassing the fish,
could be established.

run.” He should have known better than to vote Dem
ocratic in that vicinity.

HENPECKED HERRS
The henpecked husband is a figure as old in human
annals as the institution of marriage itself; but it has re
mained for Herr Hitler’s government in Germany, with
its customary ingenuity, to present an entirely new
slant on him.
The supreme administrative court of Prussia has
just ruled that a man who lets himself be henpecked by
his wife is not fit to hold office in the Prussian state. A
state official who had been notoriously dominated by
: his good frau has been, under this edict, deprived of his
job—sent him, presumably, to make what explanation
he can to his dominant helpmate.
Now this ruling has its points. If a man can’t rule
his home, how can he rule a state? The answer seems
obvious . . . until you reflect that such a superlative
statesman as Abraham Lincoln was one of the most
henpecked mortals in all nineteenth century America.
COMMON SENSE JUSTICE
An interesting sidelight on modern American jus
tice appeared in an Illinois court the other day.
A young farmer had been convicted of killing and
taking a neighbor’s steer, valued at $50. The statutory
penalty for the crime was one to 10 years.
A short time previously, however*' a banker, well
known in the district, had been sent to prison for one
to 10 years for embezzling $15,000 of public school funds
Moved by the tearful plea of the young farmer’s
mother and a petition from 200 citizens, and hesitating
to mete out punishment that had fitted a far greater
crime, the judge put the young man on probation.
A less humane and sagacious judge would have ad
hered strictly to the statute, and would have provided
another of countless incidents proving that there is one
law for the poor, another for the rich.
Description Of
New Plane Pass
By Barnhill
(Continued From Page One)
of discovering the pass 20 years
ago while -moose hunting. Mr.
Berry followed a moose up the
canyon, believing it would be
trapped in a box canyon, but on
continuing the pursuit he found
the pass which led through the^
mountain range.
Other pilots pointed out that
until such a route became widely j
used by airlines, a forced landing
would leave a pilot in a difficult;
situation. Unless he had told
someone of the route he was tak
ing, searching planes would prob
ably comb the regular Rainy Pass
route, thinking the plane had j
flown along the latter course, and
the search would be complicated
because of this factor.
Barnhill, on his initial flight
through the pass, was able to
keep his plane at 1,000 feet ele
vation the entire distance to Med
fra which consumed only an hour
and 15 minutes. Once the pass is
adopted as the regular route to
that part of Alaska, Pilot Barn
hill feels it will add to the com
fort and safety of hundreds of
passengers who make the trip
yeat% through the difficult Rainy
Pass route. He suggested the
pass be named Berry Pass.
