Chicago Jealous of New York.

The roads west of Chicago have again
refused to put in reduced rates from their
territory to New York for the benefit of
Wholesale merchants of that city. After
two refusals of the Western lines to concede
any reductions, Chairman King, of the New
York Merchants Association, wrote a very
sarcastic letter to Chairman Caldwell of
the Western Passenger Association, up
braiding him and the officers of the Western
roads for discriminating against New York
merchants Chairman Caldwell, in behalf
of the Western lines. yesterday answered
Mr.. King in pretty strong language, saying
among other things. that the Western roads
see no reason for selling reduced rate mer-
chants tickets from the West directly
through the second largest city in the coun-
try to New York. which. if done, would not
only be absurd, but would be manifestly I'M
just to the great commercial interests Of
Chicago, which furnish the Western lines
the bulk of their freight business. Mr. Cald-
we'll says no such rates have ever been al
lowed and he sees no reason why they
should be nut in now.

was a custom in England to hang SNUG
glers on gibbets arranged along the
coast, and to tar their bodies, SO that
they might last a long time and be a

as 1922 three men thus coated could
have been seen hanging before Dover

sometimes used on other criminals.

VALUABLE PELTS.
An Island Which Has Been Stocked
with Fur-Bearing Animals.


with Fur-Bearing Animals.
There is an island off the coast of
Maine, six miles outside of Boothbay
harbor, where the rarest of one species
of fur-bearing animals are found in
numbers.
They are black and silver foxes, and
it may be said in beginning that they
did not get on the island by themselves.
A few years ago Thomas F. Morgan,
of Groton, Conr., who was summering
at Boothbay Harbor, conceived the plan
of stocking one of the numerous islands
in that vicinity with black and silver
foxes, that are now almost extinct in
the wild state. He looked around for
suitable island, and finally hit upon
Outer Heron as possessing all the con-
ditions necessary to the success of such
a colony as he desired to plant.
Outer Heron is a wooded island of 100
acres or so, with considerable elevation
and bold, rocky shores. It has plenty
of fresh water, and it's dense growth of
spruces, pines and frs breaks the force
of winter gales. There is good dwell
ing home on the island, and in winter
dozen or more lobster fishermen live
in shanties around the little cove that
serves as harbor.
The island was owned by Richard TT.
Emerson, veteran, who resided at East
Boothbay. From him Mr. Morgan OBJ
tanned permission, in consideration of
a yearly rental, to stock the island with
foxes.
An order was sent by Mr.. Morgan to a
fur company engaged in breeding black
foxes on an island in Alaska for con-
signment of the animals, and 80 good
specimens were started east. The
journey took many months, being made
by vessel and steamer to San Francisco,
and thence overland, and when the con-
signment arrived at Boothbay Harbor
only seven of the foxes were alive.
These were put on Outer Heron about
a year ago, and they have thrived and
multiplied, from all indications. A few
months ago company was formed I'M
der the laws of Maine TO foster the in
dpstry Mr.. Morgan things he will make
out of the foX-raising business on Outer
Heron.
To a Globe man who visited Booth
bay Harbor recently Mr.. Knight talked
entertainingly about the prospects of
raising black foxes for market.
eve don't expect to get any returns
right away" said he, ''but when we get
the island well stocked we ought to do
we'll. Last year there were only 1,7G0
black and silver fox skins sold in Lon
don. the fur market of the world. They
nearly all came from Alaska and they
were II months on the way. IF we can
raise skins here we can get them to
London Is months earlier than they
| could be sent from Alaska.
eve intend to breed out all the light
strain, or silver foxes, from our stock.
A silver fox is by no means a cheap
animal-the pelt of good one is worth
$75 to S1O0-but the black fox is much
more valuable, the pelts being worth as
high as $500 each.''-Bcston Globe.
