PAINTING DEPICTING ALL
ALASKA RESOURCES BE
MADE FOR JACK M’CORD
Jack McCord, popular business man
of Seward, who has offices in the
Harriman Building is having a large
painting made by Artist Johanssen.
The painting is something different
from the ordinary and carries much
significance. It depicts nine leading
industries of Alaska in full original
color, namely: in the center of the
huge 6x4 canvass is portrayed an
oil well, a gigantic derrick looming
up in the foreground, an exactness
of the Iniskin Oil region; then the
reindeer industry is shown, taken
from the Cantwell district in Broad
Pass, reindeer in the distance and
one monster big-horned buck in the
foreground posing leasurely seeming
unafraid of the multitudiness of the
surrounding mountains; the stock
raising industry of Kodiak show's
steers grazing in the greens on the
big Island; Fur farming in Alaska is
depicted, with a silver fox in the
big open spaces; the fishing indus
| try has its place on the canvas in
which salmon are leaping up diminu
tive cascades and falls, a marvelous
sight to one never having witnessed
the undertaking of Alaska’s canned
goods; Gold mining is portrayed in
the old placer way—the find made
famous on Bonanza, -with a man in
the creek up to his knees in water
panning the yellow from the shallow
bed; last but not least the undaunted
efforts of the coal miner making his
debut with coal seams protruding
in jaggedness in all realistic form.
A few other industries are also
portrayed on the canvas, which is
not yet finished. After its comple
tion, Mr. McCord will have it plac
ed upon the walls of his office for
the world to see and marvel at. A
story of thousands of clicks and
reems of paper are wrapped up in
the picture. The public will be in
vited to see this picture upon com
pletion.
James Turner of St. Louis reported
to the police that his motherinlaw had
pjunched his nose and kicked him out
of his own home.

WILL REAP FOX
FUR HARVEST ON
TWO HUNDRED BLUE FOXES BE
KILLED THIS FALL, SAYS
FRANK CUNNINGHAM
WAS THERE 5 YEARS
Very Few Fox Skins Have Been
Marketed Since the Island
Was Stocked.
After five years of hard and con
sistent effort, a fur harvest will be
reaped this fall when Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Cunningham, fox ranchers on
Wooded Island, near Montague Is
land, dispose of 200 of their flock of
300 blue foxes. As the prevailing
price of blue fox skins run all the
way from $75 to $150 a skin, one
can easily figure out, a small for
tune will be their’s. Mr. and Mrs.
Cunningham, who have been guests
at the Hotel Van Gilder for the last
two days, completed purchasing sup
plies and material this morning and
planned to depart, in their motor
boat, Cameo, for the return trip to
their island home.
Whale Meat Feed.
The use of whale meat for fox
feed is meeting with all the desired
success, Mr. Cunningham stated dur
ing his brief visit in Seward. He
was the first in the Prince William
Sound area to purchase whale meat,
for this purpose, from Captain Louis
Lane, who with his partners, are
the originators of this new Alaskan
industry. The main reason of Mr.
Cunningham’s trip to Seward at this
time was to have three vats or tanks
made, which will be taken back to
the island where they will be set up
and used as cookers. The vats are
four feet long, 30 inches wide and
13 inches in depth. Steam pressure
will be used for the cooking. The
three tanks will be housed in three
different houses, which Mr. Cun
ningham will begin to build at once,
at various points on his island. The
whale meat will be kept in barrels
outside, when prepared for fox feed,
for winter feeding.
Pups Grow Fast.
Not all of his foxes are from the
Prince William Sound district, Mr.
Cunningham stated, but are mixed
with blue foxes from the Westward
regions. The foxes look very good
at the present time though in the
spring, Mr. Cunnigham was more or
less worried owing to the exception
al heavy rainfall. The pups have
surprised him with the rapidity of
their growth. Pups born in the
spring are now almost two-thirds
full size, he said. The foxes run
wild about his island, the only pens
erected being used for killing pur
poses.
Surrounded By Cliffs.
Owing to the high cliffs surround
ing the entire island, there is found
no landing place, and it is with the
use of a dory only that the landing
of supplies and equipment can be
accomplished. Mr and Mrs. Cun
ningham do not reside on Wooded
island, but on Montague island, at
an approximate distance of three
miles. Here they have a modern
home of three rooms. It is their
intention this year to take up two
homesites, if possible, or lease from
the government on Nellie Martin
river, and with 50 pairs of muskrats,
start a muskrat farm. T-wo acres
will be cleared and planted to vege
tables for feed to the muskrats. A
perfect lagoon adjoins their present
homesite on Montague island, ideal
for vessels to run into for protection
from rough weather. Another im
provement to Wooded island is be
ing planned, in the erection of three
derricks and hoists, near the site
of the three feed houses. With the
erection of these, Mr. Cunnigham
states a great deal of work and haul
ing can be eliminated.
IS HOME AGAIN FOR
A VISIT TO FRIENDS
Mrs. Tom McLean, wife of the
Deputy Marshal at Circle, is in the
Interior towm after four years’ ab
sence. She has spent most of her
time in Circle. She said to the News
Miner representative that Tom is
well, and she will return after she
has had a good vis.it among her old
time friends in Fairbanks.
