That fox faVmlng in interior Alaska
as a commercial proposition is a fail
ure, is the opinion of Harry Christie,
who for the past three years has
owner a fox farm at Aiganik.
Christie says that while others may
not agree with him, he is firmrly eon
vincetl that foxes never can be suc
cessfully raised in captivity. He claims
that he has studied the problem care
fully and given it a fair, practical test
in the past three years, and his con
clusions are not the result of hasty
judgment.
The one great obstacle to the pro
fitable fox farm, says Christie, i(s
that after the first year, the captive
fox will invariably kill its young.
This, lie declares, he has found to be
the truth, by his own experience. For
the past two years the females which
he owned killed their entire litters.
Christie had seven pairs of foxes
when he decided to abandon his farm.
These he sold to Jackson & Everson,
who intend to raise foxes on an ad
jacent island, where the foxes will
be allowed to run free.
Christie yesterday sailed for An
chorage on the steamship Mariposa.

SMALL CATCH AT GRAYS HARBOR
ABERDEEN. May 10. — The pres
ent season promises to be a lean one
for the seafood canneries of Grays
Harbor. The quantity of Quinaplt sal -
mon so far taken is less than one-1
third the number taken at this time
last year, while the dam pack is the
smallest on record. Only about 9,000 |
Quinaults have been taken by the
Taholah Indians this year, whereas
the catch last season amounted to
300,000 fish. Clam diggers say the I
completion of the city jetty his led
to a shifting of the dam beds, these
being further out in the surf now and
only to be reached when the tide is
extremely low. It is said that the
I new dam beds are literally covered
with clams when they can be reached.
