TEST FOR
MARATHON RACERS
Owing to the strenuous exercise
; attached 10 climbing Marathon moun
tain on tlie Fourth of July, all contes
tants, must undergo a heart test a
few days before the race, was the an
; nouncement made last evening by
i General Chairman Swetmann. This
as a matter of personal safeguard.
One may possess the spirit but
j not the stamina, it is stated, so to
! avoid any possible danger from the
~: grueling race up the mountain and
j back again, the test is to be made
i as a precautionary measure.
It is stated the last day for entries
; for this event will be June 26, on
which day they close. Less than four
;
entries for this race means it will
be canceled.

NEWS OF BLUE
FOX FARMERS
TO WESTWARD
(Blue Fox Magazine)
A visit was recently made to the
Whale Island Fox Ranch operated by
Parker and Klanner. Dr. Parker who
is resident manager has certainly de
veloped Whale Island into a fox ranch
of the first rank. Not. only have they
provided keepers quarters and houses
equal to those on the better ranches
of the states, but he has a fine com
plement of equipment all in the best
of condition.
Dr. and Mrs. Parker continue to be
very optimistic and are enthusiastic
ally interested in all phases of the
work. Whale Island ranch will pelt
a large number of foxes this winter
unless the price of pelts should prove
discouraging, in which case extensive
pelting will be deferred another year.
A new supply of Association Reward
posters ordered some weeks ago, have
arrived. A number will be mailed out
to each ranch. Please post in con
spicuous locations.
If your island is not posted accord
ing to law, post it immediately. The
Association also has a supply of “No
Trespassing signs. The importance of
posting as perscribed by law was dem
onstrated this winter, when one mem
ber reported the supposed theft of
foxes. The Association on taking
up the matter with the proper offi
cials was confronted with the fact
j that the rancher had not complied
| with the law in having his islands
| posted, as prescribed by law. The
; case was dismissed without further
| investigation because of this over
I sight.
Captain John Brodtkorb was in
Kodiak several days during the mid
| die of May. Rancher Brodtkorb
i says Kiupalik has exceeded his expec
tations as a fox island. Many of his
island foxes are tame and follow him
about from place to place, and come
regularly to the house for feed and
tidbits. Mr. Brodtkorb declares that
and intestines, often aggra
vated by liver disorders and
constipation, relieved and
the tendency overcome by

For bodily comfort, ease of digestion,

breath, and the regular daily move
ment so necessary to good health,

he has no fear of foxes going from the ;
island during a run of floe ice. Sheli
koff Straits experienced a cold snap
this winter that brought the ice down,
so that it ran along the island for sev
eral days. The foxes left their bur
rows and withdrew from that side of
the island approached by the ice, ex
hibiting no inclination to approach
or go out upon it. This experience
is very interesting for it is contrary
to general belief of ‘many local peo- I
pie, who state that in localities where
the ice forms at irregular intervals,
that there is likelihood of foxes or
other fur bearing animals going out I
on the ice where they are lost or get
to other shores.
Kiupalik Island Ranch, declares the
owner, will be equipped the coming |
winter with electric lights, generated i
by waterpower, and a high power ra
dio receiving set that he hopes will
provide him with entertainment dur
ing the winter evenings.
Ren Kraft has been spending his va
cation from the O. Kraft <£r Sons store
on Ugak island, superintending final
cleaning up operations of the Cross
and Silver Fox. formerly bred on this
island, before liberating a shipment of
blue fox expected during the month
of August, which are being purchased
from John Brodtkorb.
Dr. Parker of Whale Island recently
had an unusual experience for a fox
farmer. It appears that a large
brown bear took occasion to swim
across the straits separating Kodiak
and Whale Islands. The visitor
finding the open box traps in which
the foxes were being fed, proceeded
to demolish each trap in which feed
was found. As soon as the mischief
was discovered the ranch force wras
called out for a hunt, with the result
that Mr. bear’s skin is now hanging
on the wall.
Frank Peterson, Red River, dropped
into the Secretary’s office to pay his ,
dues, while on his annual trip to Ko
diak to market his furs and purchase
supplies. Frank reports a severe
winter with little activity in either
trapping or beach mining.
