FORTUNES IN FOXES
Judging from recent reports, silver fox raising in j i
Canada is becoming equally important as in Alaska. A 1
shipment of 95 of these beautiful pelts from a ranch near j
Eed Mountain, Manitoba, not long ago represented a val
ue ofr$47,000, according to a Winnipeg newspaper.
The beginning of industry on that particular ranch
is paraded by Alaska fox ranches. Starting with five
pairs in 1923, the Manitoba ranch now has 500 foxes but <
differs from the average Alaskan ranch in that there are
30 men employed during the busy season.
Aside from the profits which accrue on a well-man
aged fox ranch, the industry has another commendable
feature. The raising of fur animals in this manner, where
by they are well cared for during their lifetime, is a much;
more humane process for securing furs than by ordinary
trapping methods.
When the pelts are needed, the foxes may be put to
death instantly, instead of being tortured for days in
traps, as often happens to less fortunate wild animals.
LABORER TO MAGNATE
From a boy laborer in a steel mill to the head of the
largest industrial concern in the world is a big jump, but
James A. Farrell, of the United States Steel Corporation,
has made it.
When his father was lost at sea with Jiis ship, young
Farrell was 15 yearsmld. He had to leave school to earn
a living, so his hopes for a college education were shatter
ed. At 16 he began as a laborer in a steel mill in his home
city of New Haven, working 12 hours a day as was the
rule at that time. But he somehow found opportunities j
for the study of books, as well as to gain a thorough
knowledge of his work.
Before he was 21 he was foreman of 300 men in a
Pittsburgh factory, then in turn became a salesman, sales
manager and general manager. When his company be
came a part of the United States Steel Corporation he was
placed in charge of the foreign end of its business until
he became president in 1811. His recent advancement to
chairman of the board gives him the most important place
in American industry.
Mr. Farrell believes that a young man should begin
at the bottom to learn a business, as he did. When his
son wanted to enter shipping as a career Mr. Farrell had
him work alongside of longshoremen and stevedores on
the docks for a year.
Judging by his own outstanding success, it seems
that Mr. Farrell has the correct idea about getting start
ed right.
BOOST ALL LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS
Boost all organizations for community good. When
your idea and the other fellow’s idea are put together,
they become neither yours or his—they become commun
ity property. The result is not yours nor his—it is the ac
complishment of your community. Organized effort, co
operation and initiative reduce petty jealousies to a min
imum, bring unselfishness to the foreground and gives
everybody who had a hand a share in the work a just
measure of credit.

ALAMEDA PISSES THRU
1
Beginning with a departure from
Seattle last Saturday in a heavy fog,
he good ship Alameda, Capt. Wester
und. arrived in port here last night
it 10 o’clock.
Heavy mists veiled Puget Sound and
he coastal waters of British Columbia
)Ht on reaching Dixons Entrance, at-, |
nospheric conditions were clarified |
ind a clear sky, with a long visibility,, |
vas enjoyed.
On leaving Wrangell, light rains §
were falling but these ceased when |
Juneau hcrve in sight. From there to |
Cordova, a very pleasant trip was had, |
with the steajner ploughing her way j
thru a dark greenish sea. The back- f
ground of the snow-clad mountains |
bordering the Gulf of Alaska was ever 11
an inspiring sight. The S. S. Yukon
was passed on her way South, travell-,
ing quite close to the shore. The Ala
meda arrived in Cordova Wednesday
noon and left there 3 p. m. that after
noon, after taking on 100 tons of ore.
On her way to Valdez, the weather be
came colder and the thermometer reg
istered about 20 above.
When within eight miles of Valdez,
a solid mass of ice was encountered,
thickness ranging from six to 14 in
ches. It was sufficiently thick to com- \
pletely stop the boat when travelling
at full speed and only by the dint of
going astern and again forging ahead, i
was the ice broken andi the boat made
port after three hours grinding. After’
leaving Valdez at 11 p. m. A heavy J
snow storm was encountered which |
necessitated the continued use of the .
siren. Latouche was reached about J
6 a. m. the following morning. The;
storm being of such severity, the boat j
remained tied to the dock until 6.15
that evening.
On her way to Resurrection Bay, a
heavy running sea was astern, which
literally picked the boat up and hurl
' ed her ahead at rate of about 20 Ijmots
»n hour, causing a heavy rolling Trom
side to side for about two hours. When
the port lights of Seward hove in
sight, the stars were shining and there
was no motion of the boat other than
a steady forging ahead in a calm sea.
The fact that an additional distance
was logged on this voyage otving to
the fact that the Wrrangell Narrows
are temporarily closed and tjie layover
at Latouche, the good ship Alameda
would have docked here probably
Thursday morning.
The local office announces the Ala
meda will depart for the South at 9
o’clock tonight instead of at the usual
schedule hour of midnight.
LOSE TOUGH GAME (
The first string Mission team went
up against the “Spare-parts” eagers
and, though they lost, 32-28, they ,
gave an excellent account of them
selves and gave a-remarkable exhib
ition of how fast a team can improve
in a few weeks by consistant prac
tice. It was a case of too much Gn1 (
lcway and Glancy. One of the lads
fell over a lady spectator’s neck and
was informed no “necking-’ wa-5 per
mitted during play. Blush, blush and
some more blushes, both sides. “Gal
loping” Galloway galloped up the air
on numerous occasions but tliir bird
Glancy is becoming an extremely dag
erous man to his opponents. “How’^
i3g. Sid” made his first appearance
in the “big time” and conducted him
self like a gentleman. The Missions
were small in stature as arrayed
against the “scare-crows.” v
