FOX RAISING
BIGINDUSTRY
IN ALASKA
One of the Alaska industries that
seems to be particularly in the money
the past season in that of fox farming.
On many of the islands in Prince
William sound and on the adjacent
small islands to Kodiak, to the west
ward, and also around the mouth of
the inlet, both on small islands and on
the mainland of the Kenai peninsula
there are a lot of people now engaged
In the business of propagating foxes.
There are several kinds being bred,
black, grays and blues. But the big
gest success, seemingly, is to the
breeders of the blue variety.
Most people, who have not investi
gated the matter, are of the opinion
that this fur-raising business is entire
ly in its infancy, and the industry has
been seriously hampered by the start
ing of a lot of blue sky companies
which had only the theory for a capi
tal stock, but nevertheless a great
many thoughtful people are now put
ting a lot of labor and money into the
business. As in all new ventures much
experimenting has been done and
some of it has been costly, but at the
present time the industry is getting
on a fine basis;the United States agri
cultural department is making it a
study and are offering the fruits of
their investigations to the people in
the business.
All over tne country, trom New
York to California, money is being
put into fur production, but under
equal care and attention the business
should be much more valuable here
in Alaska than in any other place on
account of the superiority of the fur
produced, the abundance of the right
kind of food and the availability of
getting new strains of wild stock.
Several big shipments of fox skins
have been made from Alaska the past
winter, mostly blue skins, and from
now on the industry should increase
very rapidly. There is practically an
unlimited demand for prime fur and
the day may be soon at hand when the
fur industry, by fur farm production,
may be brought back to the point in
Alaska that it was in the sea otter
days when single shipments of fur
amounting to a million dollars were
made. ,
When one considers that practically
the one and only industry of this ter
ritory for the generations in which it
was governed by Russia as well as
two or three decades after the Ameri
can occupancy was the fur business,
it will not be hard to estimate the pos
sibillties of the same business in the
future when carefulness and scientific
methods are the rule instead of the
wasteful haphazard manner of the
business in the past.
WRECKED MATERIAL
FOR RAILROAD SAVED
FROM SUNKEN BARGE
Word brought to town by a musher
arriving from Fairbanks, indicates
that all of the railroad material, con
sisting mostly of rails, spikes and
bolts, which had been sunk on a barge
in tow of the steamer Shusana late
last summer, has now been recovered
and is stacked upon the bank of the
river, awaiting a favorable opportun
ity for shipment to a point near the
railroad.
The material was being conveyed
on the barge in tow of the Shusana,
to Chena, where it was to have been
unloaded and taken by rail to the
Happy division of the railroad for ex
tention purpose. While opposite "Eat
om-up” Frank’s place, the barge,
which had evidently struck a sub
merged snag, filled and sank, in fairly
deep water.
The contract for salvaging the con
tents of the barge was awarded to
Carl Crueger this winter. He cut away
the ice and around the barge and with
the help of a horse and some block
and tackle, succeeded in taking out
all the material. The barge itself is
said to be in bad shape and is prob
ably not worth saving.
The shipment consisted of 320 rails,
640 angel bars, 52 kegs of spikes and
bolt, and 25 wheelbarrows.

AMERICA CAN RENDER
HUMANE SERVICE IN
PROTECTING ARMENIA
LONDON, April 30 (by Associated
Press).—“We ask America to assume
a burden, to perform a service to
humanity,” says Professor Gilbert
Murray, of Oxford university, in a
statement advocating that the United
States accept a mandate of the league
of nations to administer and protect
Armenia.
“Armenia has been saved from the
Turks and Kurds after suffering one
of the most awful persecutions known
to history,” adds Professor Murray.
“A remnant of the Armenians still
alive can be reconstituted into a na
tion but they will be too weak and
disorganized to maintain independ
ence or internal order, unless they
are helped and protected by some
other nation.
“The protecting nation must be
very strong, absolutely disinterested,
known and trusted by the Armenians,
and not already overburdened by
other duties elsewhere. There is no
nation in the world except America
which satisfies these four conditions.
“If America will accept the man
date, the Armenians can still be saved
as a people; if America refuses, one
more region of the world is in dan
ger of slipping into anarchy.”
