Jensen stated.
“Seldovia is the center and tribu

salteries had a fine season and the
fox raising business is progressing
by leaps and bounds. A number of
new small homes have been erected
this summer at Seldovia and a few
of the business houses have or are
contemplating enlarging their stocks

board. ; The vessel lias since left for
San Francisco.'

Seldovia operated successfully as
