we buy. In the words of President Roose-
welt 1t might be called the motto of the
square deal The trading is still by
barter"
Then the company has not taken ad-
vantage of the Indians?"
Il think not" replied the commissioner.
THE Indians look upon the company as a
business partner. Good feeling has always
obtained and this is the case today. In
deed our relations with the Indians have
been rather patriarchai. They regard the
company as their father and adviser. We
have never had an Indian war, and the
greater part of the skins bought by the
company throughout the generations has
been caught by the Indians and sold to It."
but do the Indians know the value of
their furs7"
Most assuredly. They are shrewd trad
ers and are determined to get all that each
skin is worth. We pay more or less for
skins according TO the place sold. the
amount being regulated somewhat by the
cost OF transportation. Goods for instance,
cost more in Winnipeg, than in Montreal,
and they must necessarily cost great deal
more at our far-away posts where the diff
ficulty Of getting them there is so great"

take a higher degree than the Chinese uni

were part Of the offer. Miss Blatoh is the

What is the most valuable fur on the

What is the most valuable fur on the
market?"
THE silver fox" replied the commits
sioner. II have seen skins Of that animal
about three or four feet long and not more
than eighteen inches wide which were
worth $500 each. The silver fox is a
freak in nature and 1t is only now and
then that one is born. They are greatly
priced by the Russians"
Where do the sables come from?"
Mostly from Russia We have very few
on this continent"
Are there many other companies en-
gagged in the fur business outside yours?'
yes; there are traders here and there
who are buying furs. but there is no or
ganized competition to speak Of. The field
is open to all, but the Hudson Bay COM
pany has been so long on the ground and
its operations are on such a large scale that
It is not easy to compete with It. Indeed,
1t would take long time ana great deal
of money to build up a rival institution that
could cover the field as we do"
1T must be difficult TO get the furs from
the wilds to the ports"

Great Fur Market.

Where do the furs go after they leave
this contlnent7"
ITO London. That is the chief fur mar
ket OF the world. Skins In the raw state
are sent there from Russia, siberia and
North America. Every fur company sorts
and grades It's own skins before selling
them. II matches the furs and keeps the
different kinds as far as possible together.
They are put up in lunches or strings and
are catalogued before sold. At certain
times OF the year there are auction sales
OF furs In London. The fur buyers from
everywhere come there. and all the fuFs
are put up and sold 20 those who bid
highest"
That is done by the dealer who buys
them. The wholesalers do not tan nor
cure. They merely sell the raw skins"

1T is" said Mr.. Chapman. I'VE have
every kind of transportation for that pur-
pose. Some of our furs are carried on the
backs Of men from post TO post, others are
dragged across the country on snow sledges
hauled by dogs, some are padded In ca
noes by Indians down stream to the traders,
and they are also carried in sailboats and
steamboats,. The Hudson Bay company has
increased its trading facilities by using
modern inventions. We have steamers on
ali the large rivers and we send ships once
year up the Mackenzie to the Arctic
ocean, taking a cargo OF goods from post to
post and bringing back furs. We have
boats upon Hudson's bay and our vessels
come from England TO those posts once q
year to bring supplies and to take out the
furs. We have now two ships Of 800 or 9OC
tons each for that purpose. We also have
telephones and telegraphs in places away

One of the most remarkable
things in the annals of the prize
ring was the first fight Prof. Mike
Donovan ever had. Donovan was a
Chicago man originally and as a
boy was a clever fellow with his
hands. His fame as a willing scrap
per gained him many friends. Fin
ally a dispute arose between him
and Billy Cromley over their re-
spective athletic abilities, and a
battle was arranged.
Without ever having once seen a
prize ring, Donovan went to st,
Louis in 1866 and met Crowley In
bare knuckle fight. The mill last
ed 92 rounds, about three hours and
Is minutes, and Donovan then acct.
dentally fonnled his opponent and
lost the battle.
Donovan gained his title of pro.
fessor first in 1884 when he began
giving lessons. In 1886 he became
boxing instructor of the New York
Athletic club.

won the title from Frank Erne at
1876 pounds and Erne won it from
Kid Lavigne at the same weight.
This statement, however, is not
in support of any argument recently
offered by Cans in claiming his
right to fight for the title at 1876
pounds. Lavigne was 1873 pound
fighter despite the fact that Cans
recently stated in Baltimore that
the conqueror of Harry Gilmore
won his title at 1876.
The Gilmore-Lavigne battle was
fought at 1873 pounds. ringside, and
lasted 2S rounds, in which as much
fighting was done as was ever seen
in the ring in that time.
Lavigne could also get down to
12S pounds, and many of his best
short fights were at that weight.
But this story was started to show
how Lavigne would go out of his
class or rather how little attention
he paid to couple of pounds. He
was signed to fight Mysterious Billy
Smith at 1873 pounds.
One exception that Lavigne made
was Joe Walcott, who he required
to come down to 1873 in order to
get fight.
In the olden days when a fight
was to take place at a certain
weight, ringside, 1t meant what II
said. The men went on the scales
before they started to fight and not
before they were dressed in the
fighting toys.
The real thing that hurts Cans,
however, Is the dictative way Britt
treated him and the manner In
which Nelson has stunned him. As
