SOCIETY WOMEN
IN FUR TRADE
London Titled Ladies' go to Edmonton
to Engage In Fox Breeding in
Northern Alberta.
[Gate City Special Service.

lGaie Clty special Serv1ce.l
EDMONTON, Alta, April Sew
eral titled society women of London
and other parts of England, attracted
by the high prices paid for black fox
pelts, are coming to Edmonton this
spring to engage in fox breeding in
central and northern Alberta. They
are prepared to make large invest
ments. If the venture is successful,
it is likely that women, who have
hitherto devoted their attention to
prize dogs and horses, will engage IN
the new industry
Eight black fox skins, each valued
at $1,000, were sold in Edmonton last
week by trappers from the north
country. Fifty-four thousand dollars
worth of silver fox pelts were sold
last season. j. L. Cote, representing
the Athabasca district in the provin-
cial parliament, said in the course of
an address the other day that the fur
industry in Alberta was matter OF
S1,0oO,O00 in 1912, muskrats heading
the list with 100000. He added:
Contrary to the general belief, the
fur-bearing animals in the remote dis
tricts of the province are not decreas-
ing. They are simply receding before
civilization, being driven further
north. The catches during the last
few years and SO far this season
would indicate that furs are still plen
tiful in the hinterland The govern
ment Of Alberta is keenly interested
In the development of the industry
and is doing everything possible to
assist those engaged in It,"
Factors OF the Hudson's bay, Revil-
lon Freres and the Northwest Trading
companies, which maintain posts In
the north country, report that fur
bearing animals are plentiful, but
there is no indication that prices for
black and silver fox pelts will be
lower.

Getting a City Plan.

Having these facts before them, Mr..
Ballinger said the Industrial Associa-
ton began preparation for the growth.
IF we are going to grow the way TO
grow is to grow right" said Mr.. Ball
niger, "and to grow wrong is nearly
as bad as not to grow al ali"
Because city planning has become a
science the association sought an ex,
pert in that profession to plan for us,
Mr.. Ballinger told the audience, and
the association selected John Nolen.
Mr.. Ballinger said that the prelimin-
airy plan to be explained by Mr.. Fos-
ter would be practically the same as
the final plan.

CARL MORRIS PERSISTENT.

Few of those who saw Jim Flynn

Square garden two years ago dreamed
that the Sapuipa giant would ever cut
much ice in the white hope division,
writes Cross Counter in the New York
Press.
Yet in spite of dscouraging defeats
and adverse criticism Morris stuck to
the game and is today in the front
rank of the white heavies of the world.
His work against Gunboat Smith,
while not appealing strongly To the
referee. made Il decided impression on
the spectators and convinced them
that Morris had developed more rap
idly than any other white heavy in
the game.
The features Of his work that at -
tracted attention were his ability Ia
take the hardest punches that Smith
could send i'm and never waver. his ag-
gressiveness and willingness to mix it
at all times and the speed and com
bativeness he exhibited
The question as to the delivery Of "A
foul blow cannot be definitely settled,
but the fact remains that majority
of those who saw the bout did not
believe that the Gunner had been dis
abled or in any way prevented from
continuing the bout.
