definite program for the advancement
of the industry.
Mr. Williamson, one of the most suc
cessful of the ranchers, stated to Mr.
McCullagh that he had received an of
fer to contract for the whole of the
1924 output. Last year Mr. Morrison
of the Morrison and Mulligon ranch,
purchased a large number of silvers
from the Seldovia district. These foxes
were taken to Seattle and sold for
$2,000 to $2,700 per pair. Great inter
est is being taken .according to Mr.
McCullagh, by Canadian ranchers in
the Cook Inlet fox stock and it has
been affirmed by several authorities
on the subject that Cook Inlet foxes
are the best in this part of North
America.
Mr. McCullagh said that it was not
possible to get data on the lCT^er fox
islands of thejnlet Country, but indi
cations pointed towards a large in
crease of stock.
The canneries of the district are ac
tively at work, and due to the great
amount of fish available this year, a
large output is expected. There are
three large herring canneries at work.
Fred O’Neill, Charles Sharp, and the
Kachemak Bay Company, all yielding
a great increase over last year.

FOX HERS OF SELDOM
ARE MAKING HEM
(Anchorage Alaskan)
Keith McCullagh, pioneer fox farm
er of the Seldovia district, arrived in
Anchorage last week on business con
nected with this term of court. He
says that reports from most of the
silver fox ranches indicate a generally
unsatisfastory season, during the ex
ceedingly late spring. Exceptions
are the ranches of Andrew Sholin, Bill
Palmer of Homer, Stanton, Shafer and
the Jones-Williamson Ranch at Kusi
loff, who have had excellent results
with their foxes this spring. Mr. Wil
liamson informed Mr. McCullagh that
although he is not doing quite as well
as last year, according to the num
ber of pairs on hand, he is confident
that final count will show better than
one hundred silver pups. Last year
complete count showed eighty-nine
young foxes.
Harry Leonard, another of the Sel
dovia fox ranchers, reports that he
lost all of his yroung foxes, except 11,
<luring the severe April weather. Sev
eral of the ranchers report that the
unusual cold snap in the late spring
did much damage to the animals. Far
aldeon, whose ranch is at Fox Rivers,
and the White ranch both had poor

luck on account of the inclement wea
ther. The White ranch will be transfer
red this fall to the McNeill site.
f i Miss Jean Flyndoll, former school
1 teacher at Seldovia, who resigned her
; educational position this spring to go
1 into the fox farming business is asso
i ciated with Mrs. Flynn and son, re
| cently of Seattle, and they are start
j ing a model fox ranch with four pairs
' of fine silvers which will be installed
by fall. Mis Flyndoll purchased her
| stock from the Leonard ranch and the
Shulin ranch.
Mr. Shulin reported that all his 1924
output had been contracted for at one
thousand dollars per pair. The ranch
ers of this part of the country have
found the London market a ready one
for their skins and so most of the fox
pelts from the Cook Inlet district have
been exported to London! for sale. F.
Sodaberg, who is now associated with
Mr. Shulin intends to start his own
ranch at Homer this fall, taking with
him six pair of the best Shulin stock.
Mr. McCullagh says considerable in
terest is manifested in the blue fox
ranches of the District, better luck
having been had with the blues than
with the silvers. The principal blue fox
ranchers in the Seldovia district are
T. L. Lloyd, Matt Yuth and Dr. Isaac
Burgin. The Lloyd stock was partly
purchased from the Keith McCullagh
ranch and partly from Yukon Island.
Tallack Olstad, whose ranch is on Yu
kon Island, intends to re-stock his
ranch this fall, and trapping of all of
his former animals. He will re-stock
with ten pairs of foxes .
Di\ Burgin reports feeding over two
hundred pounds daily on his ranch at
Heskith Island, "indicating that the in
crease for this year is between two
hundred and two hundred and fifty
animals. John Herbert, another ranch
er o fthat part of Cook Inlet, reports
that he has both blue and silver foxes
on his ranch and that he has had an
increase this summer of about 25 fox
es.
Mr. McCullagh stated that he has
had a few good litters of blue foxes
this spring but due to adverse and un
settled business conditions the results
were unsatisfactory. No count of the
pups has been made.
Mr. McCullogh stated that owing to
the shortage of islands, the practice of
pen breeding the blues is spreading
rapidly. Not only in Alaska but all
over the states, owing to much larger
average increases, the blue fox is be
coming more popular among ranchers
and it is expected that great strides
will be made this year in developing
the industry.
The Cook Inlet Blue and Silver Fox
Breeders Association was officially or
ganized last February and an effort
will be made in August to get it solid
ly on its feet with live officers and a
