properties in Southeastern Alaska.

It is estimated by Jas. Collias, fox
rancher on Elizabeth . Island, Cook
Inlet, that 3,000,000 fish .pass thru
the channel separating his island
from the mainland. Of these he fig
ures 65 per cent are red salmon.
The percentage basis is the only
way to hire help on fox ranches, says
Jas. Collias, for this will insure a
personal interest in the business
which therwise is lacking. Mr Collias
I speaks from many years of exper
ience.
Cleanliness and the best of meats

Notwithstanding the fact he turn
ed down flatly the office of school
clerk at Portlock, the citizens of that
up and coming little community re
cently elected Jas. Collas clerk. Now
it is up to him to make good.
He has always taken an active in
terest in school matters and from the
day he landed on Elizabeth Island to
establish a fox ranch, to the present
time, they have always turned to him
for advice and help.
Steady prgress has marked the
development of the village and at,
this time there are 17 pupils enroll-!
ed in the school. Others will soon!
move down from Port Graham and
English bay and it is hoped a new
and modern building will be erected.
Miss Genevieve Munsey has devoted
much of her time and has worked
real hard to educate the natives. And
the results are gratifying.
