REPRESENTATIVE FUR
FARMER MAGAZINE IN
TOWN ON WAY SOUTH
A. A. Bass, representing the Fur
Farmer Magazine of Seattle, who has j
been touring Alaska the past few
months in the interest of his publica
tion, returned to Seward yesterday on
the Admiral Watson. Mr. Bass has
visited all the fur farms in the vicin
ity of Wasilla, Kodiak, Seldovia and
Cook Inlet, and leaves on the Alaska
for Latouche, from which point he will
visit the fur farmers of the Prince
William Sound district. He states
that after a careful investigation of:
the sections visited that it is his be- j
lief that no finer fur can be grown I
! anywhere thin in this section, and de- j
| dares that it is necessary only for |
j* the fur farmer to push his breeding
stock and show his fur to get the ;
business. The average fur is as good
or better here than seen anywhere.
Mr. Bass states that the largest j
mink ranch he has seen west of Wis
consin is located at Wasilla, owned
by James St. Clair. These animals are j
doing fine and promise good returns to j
the owner. At Port Graham, John- j
son & Thompson have a large num
ber of animals, also in fine condition.
Two marten farms were visited by
Mr. Bass but the output is dubious as
the animals so far have not bred in
captivity.
While in Kodiak he visited with
Mr. White, of the Southwestern Alas
ka Blue Fox Farmers Association and
also saw Karl Armstrong Wm. Ers
kine and others. He spent a month
in the Cook Inlet district, visiting 39
out of 42 farms and saw all the fur
farmers but one. He also visited the
Kachemak Bay district, Bradley river,
Port Graham, Pt. Chatham, Seldovia,
and other points. He believes that
Cook Inlet is an ideal place for fur
farming. Mr. Bass declares without
boast that no man in the United
States has judged or seen as many
fur animals in the -past six months
as he has, and that he returns to Se
attle with the impression that fur
farming will soon be the leading in
dustry in Alaska.
Mr. Bass left at noon to visit the
silver black fox farm of Mr. DeLong
j across the bay and will return this
evening.
