THREE TWO-STBBT LOG
DWELLINGS HEINE BUILT
FOR KUSILOF FOX FIRM
Perry A. Cole, one of the directors
<
of the American Fox Breeders Asso
ciation, and probably one of the best
r known of fox men in the world, who
i is embarking upon a fox ranch busi
i ness on a large scale in Seward’s
j “backdoor*’, the Kusilof river country,
1 Kenai peninsula, has taken a lease '
[ on a chain of lakes, and also taken
| up a homestead.
It is said, by a fox rancher from
! there, A1 Hardy, that Mr. Cole pro
i poses to create one of the largest fox
! ranches in America and in the spring
I is sending in two families, from the
i
| States, as well as his own family,
j Mink, as well as fox, will be raised.
Mr. Cole is said to be tlfe largest
[ fox raisers, at the present time, in
New York State.
At the present time his son is on |
the job building three, two story *
log dwellings, each 28 x 30 feet in |
size, and anticipates having them com
pleted by spring. Also, this winter, j
he is getting out sufficient poles, j
and other timber, for the building of
50 pens.
INSTALLING TELEPHONE i
SYSTEM KUSILOF REGION;
*». 4
From the Alaska Packers cannery, ,
at the mouth of the Kusilof river, a i -
telephone line is to be installed by ■
the fox ranchers and residents of that |
district, reports A1 Hardy, fox raiser,]
. <
who was in Seward last week. It is! 4
planned to connect up all the ranchers
along the river all of whom are stand
ing their portion of the expense. 1 <
This inovation not only means a
great saving of time, in the matter of (
communication, but lessens the risk *
of serious sickness, or possible death,
for assistance in time of need will be ,
obtained at short notice.
PENINSULA FUR CATCH
The fur catch throughout the Kus-j
ilof district will not come up to ex-j
pectation this season, vsay Oldtimers
who have recently been in town from
that area, for though there seemed
to be ample signs around the forepart
of December, following the opening
of the season, all signs appeared to
vanish in air.
The usual amount of mink seemed
to be about, in fact in certain por
tions there was an over-abundance
of signs which would indicate there
were more of these little animals
than one would expect.
All through the country down there
trappers are every where, a great
many whites but the majority, natives
