ABOUT FURS AND THINGS
Perchance, the time will never come when our
deadlier sex will cease to adron herself in furs. She
will have ‘em if we must go to the uttermost ends of
the earth, and we, poor saps, will go to the ends and
even look over the edges in order to get said furs for her.
All of which leads to the thought that it looks
mighty good for the future of the fur industry in Alas
ka, especially among those islands to the Westward,
where they are beginning to learn things about their
climate and natural advantages that heretofore have
been taken for granted and but dimly appreciated.
For instance it is now known that the Westward
country is ideal for muskrat in addition to the fox
that have thrived there for so long. Fur raisers of the
Westward areas are confident the finest muskrat fur
in the world can be grown out there; a firmer hide and
fuller hair than that grown in the States, is noticed.
Westward muskrat are said to make the finest Hud
son seal known to the trade.
Conditions out there are also fine for mink and
should be good for raccoon; some of these are being
imported from Wisconsin where the climate is even
more severe. And that's not the way to put it either
because the mercury seldom gets to zero out West
ward but does drop to 40 below in Wisconsin.
The raising of beaver will also be one of the future
pursuits of Westward farmers since those planted on
Kodiak by the government are thriving excellently.
Under proper regulation and with the changing of
some restrictions that now repel capital, Westward
Alaska bids fair to become one of the chief fur-raising
districts of the world.

The United States has ratified a treaty with Cana
da designed to protect the great halibut fishery along
the coast of Alaska and British Coluumbia. Here are
two great countries which set a glorious example to
other nations as to what cooperation really means.
It looks like Alaska air-lanes will soon have to be
double-tracked and air-section crews put to work.
Selfish interests have so depleted the sockeye sal
mon run that its total destruction is threatened. So
says the Seattle Times. Wonder who they mean by “sel
fish interests”?
The old copy book tells us, “patience is a virtue.”
So that's the reason there are so many fine people in
Alaska.
