POISON IN CmSAXV
Recent investigations in the
Chi snna camp regarding the
poisoning of drgs them tins
spring, bring to light the fa'd
that those dogs were the victims
of poison which had been laid
for fur-bearing animals by un
known' parties. It is stated
that a great deal of the fur
caught in ( hisana has been af
fected by this poison, which was
laid over a w ide range of territ
ory. That such a practice
should ever be used is most it*
g ret table, it seems impossible to
locate the culprit, and it will
soon exterminate' the fur trade
which is becoming such a profit
able revenue f or that section.
Eastern papeis rote the fact
that there is gradually becom-1
ing a great demand for Alaskan
furs. Red and cross fox and
lynx are being viewed with grow
ing favor by fur buyers and
there is no doubt but that Alas
ka shippers will secure even
higher prices than here to fore
on future shipments of furs.
Leading New York furriers
are also displaying some exquis- j
ite garments fashioned from the1
genuine United States govern-j
ment sealskins. This fur is from !
the Alaska seal herd frequenting
Pribiloff Islands in the Bering j
Sea the finest of all sealskins, j

in all parts ofthe Territory, and
in the sections where he has
lived his friends include about
everybody.
He is a good citizen of Alaska
and worthy in all respects. That

l
j without saying. He will main
tain the high standard of effic
ieney that has obtained in the of
fice of Surveyor General and
Territorial Secretary sine ■ the
establishment of that office.
"I he selection of Mr.Sommers
is all the more complimentary to
him because of the fact that

ed for the position. Many
of the people of the First i)iv

One of our ablest and most pop
j ular citizens, and specially fit
! ted for I he :>o dtio'n.
