RAISING FURS
IN NORTHLAND
IS PROMISING
OWNER OF ANIMAL FARM DE
ClARES OUTLOOK HERE is
BRIGHT.
Douglas Island News:

douglas lSIaQu news.
Wild animal farms will become
regular thing instead of great
sights for the Alaska tourist within
a few years" said Arthur Mexican,
owner of fox farm on small is
land near Paviog bay Mr.. Mexican
has been operating his blue fox
farm three years. He says that
financially he has not realized a
great deal so far. but that he did not
figure on the proposition paying him
during the first five years.
The proposition of conducting
wild animal farms for the fur has
passed beyond the experimental stage
and a number of men are already
making a success of the fox bust
ness" he said The only men who
have been in it for any length Of
time who have failed so far have
been those who have attempted to
breed several kinds of animals in
stead of devoting their time to one,
such as the fox.
The time when our finest furs
will have to come from the farm of
select animals is not far distant. for
the range OF the oldtime trapper
is fast being taken up. Alaska and
Northern Canada are now his only
laree hunting grounds and with the
construction of railroads in those ter
ritories it is only a question of a
few years until the business will
be killed Under proper climatic
conditions there is no doubt that
better and more uniform fur can be
produced by careful breeding than
under the old methods. To secure
high prices extremely cold winter
weather is necessary and an island
farm where animals can be kept
without much trouble and too great
an expense is a pretty good thing
to consider if you are going into
the business"

ROYAL PLAYERS MAKE A
BIG HIT in THIS CITY
Talented Company Makes Even Better Showing In Nights Work
Than In the Opening Play, Which Received Such Hearty
Welcome--More Good Plays Scheduled.

The Royal Players opened a high
ly promising engagement in the
Auditorium to full house Saturday
night. soon after their arrival on
the steamer Yukon. The four-act
drama, THE Lion and the Mouse,
presented by the company on
the opening night, Won the continued
applause it so highly deserved
The Lion and the Mouse" which
is one of the greatest theatrical
successes of recent times. has been
played in all parts of the United
States, and in foreign countries, but
it is quite probable that it has never
been produced where it was more
thoroughly appreciated than in Fair
banks Saturday night.
Although strong in every act, the
opening play reached a climax of
interest in the third act, when Miss
Elliott, the leading lady, proved her
ability as an emotional actress.
Size was recalled again and again,
the audience seeming unable to let
her go. so deeply had she moved
everyone by the intensity of feeling
displayed.
Miss Elliott is a beautiful woman,
stunning dresser. and true art
list She was the recipient of some
lovely flowers.
Last nights play, THE Bishops
Carriage" presented by the Royal
Players, was a greater success even
than the opening play on IT, even
ing previous, though that was CON
sidered one of the best things in
the theatrical line ever presented in
Fairbanks.
Two nights of the Royal Players
have won the fullest appreciation
from the local people, and that the
evenings III W HltH VIC
talented company will appear here
will draw full houses is now well
assured
The company showed up better
last night because each actor fitted
more to the part he took than the
night before, for though Mr.. Royal
gave an excellent representation Of
the powerful rich man in the Lion
and the Mouse" he was more at
home in the comedy role.
Miss Elliott was equally good in
the two plays, though last night she
did not have the chance to bring out
her excellent emotional talent that
won for her so much favor on Sat
urday night. She can a. herself

written by Miriam Michaelson, a
San Francisco newspaper woman, is
from the book of the same name,
and like other successful literary
productions, it has a pleasing COM

pany of players is needed, and that
is just why the Royal company
scored such hit in it last night.
