CAPTAIN LOUIS LANE
WILL CATCH WHALES
FOR FOX FUR FARMERS
Capt. Louis L. Lane, the well known
explorer and big game hunter has en
gaged in a new industry, one which
will be of great benefit to the fox fur
farmers of this vicinity, and which
will insure their supply of food for
the present season. Mr. Lane has out
fitted a whaling vessel and will leave
San Francisco today with a crew for
southwestern Alaska, arriving here
August 11. His letter to Gus Borgen
follows:
“I am rigging a small boat for the
purpose of killing whales for the fox
islands, as described to you while in
San Francisco. We are planning to
leave here May 20 for your section of
the country. Our outfit while small
is very complete and the two boys
that I have with me are the most ca
pable that I know of anywhere. I can
not tell how long it will take me to
get up there, but wre will make as
much speed as is possible taking into
consideration weather conditions.”
Mr. Lane goes on to say:
Whale Food Best for Foxes.
"After many years of careful study
as to the habits and tastes of the
white fox of the Arctic pack I am
convinced that although he has chang
ed his color by being transferred to
the coast and islands of Southeastern
and Southwestern Alaska he has not
changed his tastes for the Arctic foods
such as seal and walrus carcasses left
by the polar bears, preferably the car
casses of whales, which are more or
less plentiful throughout the northern
region.
"Fish as a food is foreign to the
white fox. Naturally salt fish is more
so. This accounts for the dissatisfied

mothers and small litters so notice
able to me throughout southeastern
and southwestern Alaska as compared
to the white fox under original con
ditions in the Arctic. As you doubt
less know, the Arctic female averages
about seven pups per litter, compared
with the island foxes who do not av
erage over five and sometimes not as
many. A contented mother brings
forth the largest litter. Whale meat
does it. A properly fed fox produces
the best fur and whale meat does it.
The best fur brings the highest prices
and that is wdiat you want.
“This company will deliver whale
carcasses to you, starting July 1 at
the low cost of $300 to $500 per whale
depending upon distance necessary to
tow carcass. A whale will average
about one ton per running foot.
“Payment in furs or cash satisfac
tory and will gladly purchase any oth
er furs you may have on hand or if
you prefer you can make payment
with live! foxes. Agencies:

GARBAGE DUMP FIXED
The Sanitation Committee composed
of Hofman, Ellsworth and Helm fixed
up the garbage dump this week, by
spreading ashes over the surface, burn
ing up all refuse, and building a wire
fence around it to prevent cans and
refuse floating around the lagoon. The
council authorized rules to be fixed
as to the manner in dumping garbage
and from now on it is expected that
the place will be as sanitary and
sightly as any other spot in the shore
line.
NEW WALKS BE BUILT
In case property owners can be in
duced to sign up, new sidewalks will
be constructed on Third avenue from
Washington to Adams. The walks at
present are in a dangerous condition
and must be torn up to prevent acci
dents. A cinder walk was proposed
by Mayor Ray,, who stated that an un
limited amount of good cinders could
be obtained from the roundhouse,
which could be rolled into a compact
mass and covered with cement.
