ATTENDS FOX SHOW
AT MINNEAPOLIS
To be the only woman delegate and
also Alaska’s sole representative at ]
the world’s large fox exhibition is the
distinction conferred upon Mrs. F. W.
Williamson of Kusilof, Alaska.
Mrs. Williamson left Seward three j
months ago for the express purpose j
of attending the annual American Na- j
tional Fox Breeders Association Con- J
vention, which was in session one j
week at the Armory at Minneapolis,
Minn. Many prizes were awarded the |
Alaska foxes. There were 556 silver
and black foxes on exhibition at the
show, the best in the continent. Fol
lowing the governor’s address, which
opened the convention, Mrs. William
son was called upon to address the
convention. She found a very respon
sive and attention audience when it
was announced that she had traveled
from the Far North to meet the fox
breeders of New York and London.
From men well versed in the breed
ing of silver and black foxes it was
conceded that none excelled the Alas
ka foxes.
While in Minneapolis Mrs. William
son visited the largest fox farms in
the world, a short ways from Minne
apolis, at Great Bear Lake. She also
visited all the fox farms in the state,
and asserts that it will pay anyone
in the fox farming business to attend
a convention of this kind, and urges
breeders in Alaska to, by all means,
get as many representatives as possi
ble to attend the next convention. So
many breeders in Alaska, she declares,
are working in the dark as to the lat
est and most improved methods of
raising foxes.
Mr. R. Frazer from the London
Sales Company and Mr. L. Bosach,
from New York, were very active in
the convention, and Alaska foxes were
eagerly discussed by these authorities.
Dr. Young, from New York state, also
a well known breeder, was very en
thusiastic over the black fox business
in Alaska.
Mrs. Williamson was the guest of
Mr. and Mrs. Van Bradt while in
Minneapolis. Mr. Van Bradt was a
former prosecuting attorney in Den
ver, and as their guest, Mrs. William
son motored from Minneapolis via
Omaha, to Denver, Colo., where she
also visited all the fox farms in the
State.
From Denver she went by rail to
Boise, Idaho, and there visited sev

eral prosperous farms. The next fox
farming section was Oregon and a
week was spent there visiting the
breeders of silver and black foxes.
On the last leg of the journey Mrs.
Williamson was taken to a large fox
farm at Mt. Rainier in Washington,
and found ideal conditions there for
fox raising. Mrs. Williamson lays
special emphasis on the fact that one
cannot know too much about the in
dustry in Alaska and the best way to
improve upon methods and gradings is
to attend these various farm and fox
exhibits in the states.
While Mrs. Williamson was in Sew
ard she was a guest at the Overland
Hotel leaving Monday morning by rail
as far as Mile 29, where Mr. William
son will meet her with a dog team,
and go through by way of Skilak lake
to Kusilof. In event he cannot do so
I Mr. A1 Hardy, fur and game warden,
will take her home. Mr. Hardy at
the present time is on an inspection
trip in that part of the country.
While Mrs. Williamson has seen
many new developments of the fox
raising business, she admits she is
glad to get back to her pets at Kusilof.
