Deputy Sheriff Fred Godfrey, who
recently purchased a twelve-acre lot
In Woodford, has decided to turn the
place into a place for the propagation
of the blue, or Alaskan foxes, a type
of animal that is coming very much
into prominence because of the value
of the fur. which ranks next to the
silver gray fox.
The entire tract will be enclosed
with a heavy wire fence which will
extend six feet above the surface OF
i the ground. and 20 inches below, that
being considered sufficient to keep
! them inside. Mr.. Godfrey has all
ready ordered six fully matured ami
mails and expects them in few
weeks, and intends TO have the place
ready by the time that they reach
there.
There is one establishment of the
kind in the state and the demand for
the furs is largely in excess of the
supply. Each skin is valued at from
$40 to $25.
