church discipline from that of the
associates with whom he was osten-

that he would lay the matter before
the Lord in prayer and then wait
for his guidance.
so Lord, said the moderator fer
vently and with perfect sincerity of
purpose, 20 Lord, grant that we
may be right in this matter, for
thou knowost that we are very de-
cided. Youth s Companion.

SKINS OF FOXES AND OFFERS.
IIOst Valuable OF the Furs Found III th
Pacific Coast Regions.

OrNliNO VT EONEO AMI VI IETOs
ELOst Valuable of the Furs Found liz the
Pacific Coast Regions.
The most precious of all Pacific
coast furs is the sea otter. There
was time when this animal was
very plentiful off the California
coast. The Russians are largely re-
sponsible for their destruction at
the time they founded a settlement
at Fort Ross, at the mouth of the
Russian river, in Sonoma county.
Some sea offers are still captured off
the California coast, and there are a
few small vessels specially engaged
off the California coast sea otter
hunting, but Alaskan waters are the
chief source of supply of this class
of fur bearing animals. Sea offers
are always found afoat, and the
hunter can capture them in no other
way than by shooting. The deeper
and colder the water they are found
in the better the fur and the higher
the price the hunter secures for the
pelt.
A first GLASS sea otter skin in the
raw is worth $500 to the hunter.
The best sea otter pelts taken off
the California coast will yield $3.50
each to the hunter. There may be
elements, however, in the pelt which
may reduce the value of the Alas
kan pelt to $40, and that of the Cali
fornia coast to S.. The coast of
Japan has been a good hunting
ground for sea otter, and during the
past % years several small craft
have sailed from San Francisco and
San Diego to Japan, outftted for OF
ter hunting. Almost all sea otter
skins are marketed in Russia, where
the fur is in demand.
Next in value to the sea otter is
the fox among the fur bearing ami.
mails of the Pacific coast Six kinds
are hunted for their pelts, which
range from 20 cents to $50 each in
the raw.
These are the silver, cross, red.
blue, gray and white. Something
very rare among foxes is a black
coated animal, and the fur of such
a fox commands fancy price, often
running as high as $3.50 To supply
the demand for black fox furs fur
riers prepare an imitation by dyeing
the fur of the red fox, which is the
cheapest pelt of the fox family, the
best 'red" not being worth to the
trappers more than So 25 per skin
If we except the natural black. fox,
the highest priced fox pelts are the
silver" and the blue. +" A trapper
gets for a perfect silver fox pelt as
he strips it from the carcass about
500 and for the best blue fox pelt
about $22.
An effort is being made on the
Aleutian islands to farm the blue
fox. Some of the small islands in
the group suitable for the purposes
IF farming have been leased by |
some of the old trappers of the Hud-
son Bay and Alaska Commercial |
companies for a nominal rent, and
