Ill ns If FUR,
I RELEASED All ANIMALS
One of the largest of the early
day fox farm ventures to the west
of .Seward began in 1908 at Sand
Point when Capt. Andrew Grosvold
put 22 silver greys on the island.
He constructed a large corral
around which ran 450 feet of fenc
ing and sunk into the ground at
some points to a depth of 18 feet;
bedrock. On top the fencing rose
to a height of 10 feet then three
feet of wire in addition inclined to
ward the pen. Buried in the soil
| was another three foot strip of net.
But with all this expense and
painstaking care so that the fox
should not escape, some did; three
of them to be exact.
Over $100 each were paid for the
original animals and at the end of
three years the first kill was made,
Captain Grosvold receiving less
than $40 each for the skins. He
gave up the enterprise in disgust
only, some years later, to again
take another chance, but this also
he gave up owing to market condi
tions.
After all efforts had been made
to run the fox into pens, or to trap
the lemainder, lie gave orders to
open the gates and permit the fox
to escape. Today, it is said there
are innumerable fox over-running
the island. It is also said that a
Wrapper claims to have captured
two red fox on the mainland and
released them on the island.
So for many years now the fox
industry on this island 4ias been
passed but the pens, with long lines
of fencing, and fox houses, may
yet be seen across the creek from
Sand Point proper.

An Independent Feeling
No matter what their income, every young couple should
have a bank aecont.
It is more than a reserve to meet unexpected expenses.
It is more than a means of obtaining more comforts
and conveniences.
A bank account and a regular method of saving create,
a feeling of independence, a feeling of self-respect.
Money is not everything, but the lack of sufficient funds
often brings unhappiness. Do not let your life be threat
ened by financial worries.
