NEW YORK, Feb. 7. (/P)—With the
depreciations of hunters and a north
ward trend of civilization the silver
fox stands in danger of extermina
tion, says the New York Times, and
it appears that the supply of pelts in
the future must come from domesti
cally raised animals. Fur farmts are
becoming more numerous, and an odd

phase of their activities concerns the
individual who buys a pair of foxes,
leaves them at a farm to be cared
for and takes the pelts of their off
spring or a percentage of the profits.
The domestic silver fox is a highly
sensitive animal, requiring a great
amount of care and expert attention.
However, the profits run high, so
that “farming” one out to a ranch
affords a lucrative investment if done
with a reliable company, for some
farms were started merely to sell
shares.
It was as recently as 1910 that the
silver fox came to the general notice
of commerce. The animal had been
a “fancy” before that, and one pair
brought a5 high as $30,000. Trappers
and farmers then became active and
the silver fox was hunted and raised
extensively until the price came
down to an average of $2,000 a pair.
Breeding the species domestically
was first tried about 30 years ago on
Prince Edward Island, but since then
a number of farms have sprung up in
Massachusetts and Canada.
One of these is within the city lim
its of Montreal, where a fenced en
closure resembling a kennel for dogs
confines one of the rarest and wild
est breeds of foxes right within the
center of urban surroundings. This is
one of the farms where patrons leave
foxes to be raised, and after paying
a portion of the proceeds from any
sale of the pelts take the makings of
milady’s neckpiece home.
Silver fox fur is inimitable, but
there are so many varieties of it. As
cording to the Canadian method of
scoring points, there has never been
a perfect pelt. The nearest was 96
2-3. There are three gradations to the
silver—black at the hide, silver band
in the middle, and black at tip again.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead’’ to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
