Patriotism That broke the Fettevs Of

To uade-rSAnd the phenomena E!sso

years; the best hope of the people,
borne by an unholy tribit, far away
from their mothers' homes, and trained
into The tools of an inhu1nan tyranny;
and though had IL not been for the ''un-

VALUABLE PELTs
An Island which Has Been stoek>d
WITH Fur-BearfnG AnimaIs-

n
with Fur-Bearfng Anfmais-
There Is an island OF 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
II may be said in beginning that they
did not get on the island by themselves.
A few years ago Thomas E. Morgan
of Grotou, Conn, who was summering
at Booth bay 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 a
suitable island, and finally hit upon
Outer Heron as possessing all the con-
ditions necessary 20 the success OF such
a colony as he desired 10 plant.
Outer Heron is a wooded island OF 100
acres or 80, with considerable elevation
and bold, rocky shores. IL has plenty
of fresh water. and its dense growth OF
spruces, pines and frs breaks the force
OF winter gales. There is a good DWELL
ing home on the island, and in winter
a dozen or more lobster fishermen live
in shanties around the little cove that
se-7es AZ 4 ha-bor,
The island vas owned by Richard e
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
fcyes.
An order was sent BY Mr.. Morgan 20
fur com any engaged in breeding black
foxes on an island in Alaska for con-
specimens were started east. The
journey took many months, being made
by vessel and steamer TO San Francisco,
ard thence overland, and when the con-
signmeut arrived at Boothbay Harbor
only seven of the foxes were alive.
These were put on Outer Heron about
a year ago, and they have thrtved and
multiplied. from all Indications. A few
months ago a company was formed IN
der the laws Of Maine 20 foster the in
dustrv Mr.. Morgan things he will make
ont Of the fox-raisine business on Outer
Heron.
To Globe man who vis.>ed Booth
bay Harhor recently Mr.. Knight talked
entertainin9ly about the prospects, Of
raising black foxes FOR market.
Eve don't expect 70 get any returns
right away" said he, but when we get
the island we'll stocked we ought tn DO
well. Last year there were only 100
black and silver FOX skins sold in Lon

nearly all came from Alaska and they

We intend 70 breed out al the light
