has an area of three miles in length
by about four miles in width, is re
puted to be the most idealistic fox is
land from Dixons Entrance to Unimak
Pass. It requires an ordinary gas
boat two hours to circumvent the fox
“Garden of Eden.”
Expert from Rockies Coming
In 1927, he plans many improve
ments for the island; he will build
modern feeding houses and pens and
other special equipment will be pur
chased. A horse will also be bought
and shipped over where old “dobbin”
wlli be pressed into service distribut
ing fox feed to the many feeding
houses scattered over the island. A
fox specialist from the Rocky Moun
tain district will be imported to as
sist Mr. Collias. The procuring of
reliable help has been one of Mr. Col
lias, greatest handicaps. He said most
of the Alaskan help has thus far prov
en inefficient and for that reason has
been forced to send Outside for expe
rienced assistance. The average Alas
kan, he pointed out, fear to go upon a
lonely island, or to a remote district,
thinking they might lose their mind
from lack of contact with their fel
lowman.
-Eagles Are Destructive.
This particular mountainous region
of Alaska, and especially around the
Cook Inlet district, is noted for its
large eagles, Mr. Collias said, and
eagles, have proven to be one of the j
few things which has worked some
hardship on the raising of his valu
able fox, for every so often one of the
gigantic birds soar down from lofty
heights, grasp a pup or a full grown
fox, and carry them off to its moun- j
tain nest. This has happened twice
quite recently, he added. Eagles are
very destructive and fox farmers must
be conitantly on the alert for them.
His trip to Seward at this time wras
made primarily to seek relief from a '
sprained back which resulted in over
estimating his strength in lifting and
working about the island. Also for
the purpose of prospecting about the
bay for a good point to start another
fur farm. He contemplates returning
to Portlock, near which his island is
located, on the steamer Starr. In con
clusion, Mr. Collias stated, George
Sexton, local business man, would act
as his agent in the disposing of his
fur crop.

fUUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old ago
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4 The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com*
mitting you to any action.
