turing on AlasIato the Califor-

is worth millions of dollars. BY a
strange sort Of management We
suffer most Of these furs to be ex

them arc imported into the United
Statea, paying a duty Of forty per-
cent. Over half Of the furs arc
furnished by the two islands OF ST
Paul and st George, which are
leased by the government to a conf

This coninct may be fair enough,
