he would continue to support tlie
Progressive ticket. He sees no
sason for abandoning tho principle"*
because of the election of the Dem
ocratic party. In his opinion It was
the coming belief in Progre-islve
principles which causcd the voters
to stampede to Wilson, and in do
ing so they overshot the mark. In
four years they will have learned
something of democracy as they

The pres?nt prices of American!
raw furs, as compared with the
priecs of a few years ago, makes
pleasant reading for the old trap
per and dealer, says A R. Shubert,
fur dealer of Chicago. It was only
a few year* ago that one could buy
all the muskrats In western Canada
at 6 cents apiece a-id they sold as
low as 4 cents. Winter and spring
collections last season, brought 4 5
cents to 65 cents. The entire col
lection of northern mink could be
bought at $1.60 to $2 00 for No. 1
large prime skins. Now, they sell
at $8.00 to $10.00. The best lynx
sold in C. M. Ijampson & Co.'s sale
in London, England at $3.50 last
season, $30 00 to $35.00 was paid
for them. Marten that we now pay
$9.00 for. sold for $2 .00. The best
with * large contingent from Alas
ka, and Seattle sent tip a largo
number of visitors with her dele
gates. The session will last three
days and end with a mammoth ban
quet In w hich prominent membera of
the order will be present and make
dark fisher that North America erer
produced could be bought for $12.
last season, $50. Oi) waa paid for the
large dark akin* The best collect
ion of red fox was sold at $2 aver
ago Today the same collection
aould bring $7 no. White weaael
we paid nothing for, because there
was no market for them, today they
bring 75 cents to $1.50. Otter, one
could buy the liest the earth pro
duced at $5.00 to $6 00, today we
pay $15.00 to $50 00 for Inland
caught skins. Would yon think It
possible to buy the best silver fox
that was ever trapped at $86.00?
That was the price. It takes a
small fortune to buy it now. The
cause of this tremendous advance
In the value of North American raw
furs Is 'he keen competition created
hy the well known circular houses
Years ago, Ihe country dealers and
the large eastern dealers had It all
it their own way. Furs were bought
at any old price.
