ENLARCES HIS FOX FARM AT
 H0T SPRINGS

In preparation for the time when he will need more room for the breeding of foxes of all varieties in which business he is engaged along with his mercantile establishment, George Morrison of Hot Springs is now building an extensive ranch which when completed, will probably be the largest of it's kind in Alaska Located centrally as he is with his mercantile business, Mir. Morri- son has had ample opportunity to engage in fox farming on an exten- sive scale by buying and breeding animals. and he has grasped the opportunities which came to him until he now has so many of the little animals that he does not care ever, some idea of the magnitude of his undertaking can be gained when 1t is known that he shipped 50 young foxes to farm on Prince Edwards island last spring
 THREE YEARS IN BUSINESS.
 MT Morrison has been engaged in fox farming for about three years. He started by buying few pairs of foxes and breeding them, and al though he has raised a large num- Der, he buys any and all of the silver grey. black or cross varieties which he can obtain. He does not care to buy red foxes as he is attempting to breed the cross foxes up to the silver grey variety. The only red foxes he has are several females for experimental purposes.
 Heretofore MT Morrison has kept his foxes in corral made of poles and sheet iron He allows nobody to see the old foxes especially dur ing the breeding season as they are very timid and do not do we'll ex cept in solitude. The only person ever seeing them during the breed ing season is the attendant. The young ones, however, after being taken from their mother become very gentle although it takes very little to make them wild again.
 NEW CORRAL BIG.
 The new corral which is now under construction. a part of which will soon be ready for the reception of the foxes, covers two and one half acres of high, sandy soil such as Is the habitat of the animals. When completed. it will contain 40 small CT corrals, each 37 feet square, in each of which a pair of foxes will be placed. Alleyways eight feet wide run between the rows of pens. In each of the breeding places are small Accompaniment houses.
 The new corrals are made of wire
 ting, and are 12 feet high, T'' wire of the sides is sunk four feet in the ground and then doubled back under the floor of the pen for a distance of six feet in order that the foxes may not succeed in bur rowing their way to liberty.
 As a double precaution against their escape MT. Morrison has also encircled the main pens with large corral the walls of which will be 60 feet from the pens in all places. The wire of this corral is likewise sunk in the ground and turned under It is the intention of Mir Morrison to cover this 60 feet of space all around the main corrals and raise ptarmigan for fox food

 "Ill bet every dollar I've got that Smith can knock out that French man in 10 rounds. providing an honest man is chosen as referee I'm not talking just to hear myself talk now, but I mean business.

Of all the people of the state;
A drastic law regulating the traffic
in opium, morphine, cocaine, and other
narcotic drugs;
A reform of our penal system pro-
viding for indeterminate sentence, for
a state detention farm for habitual
drunkards and similar unfortunates,
and for the abolition of the convict
contract labor system.
The strengthening of our laws regu-

the taking of the Office of public SER

Termination of charter rights of

The reservation by the state of the
control and reversion of water
power privileges.
We call for legislation which will
ensure fair and equal valuation of
property throughout the state so that
all parts of the state may contribute
equally for the maintenance of public
burdens.
The taxation of improvements on
land at less rate than the land
would tend to the improvement and
development of our agricultural re-
| sources.
| We favor the adoption of tax law
| which will enable private citizens to
| loan money on the same terms as the

law as measure of demonstrated fair
ness and efficiency, and reasonable
offset against personal property for
debts due from the owners,which should

abuse. We denounce the present tax
law as unjust and oppressive. We be-
lieve that one should not pay tax on
what he does not own and another be
exempt from paying taxes on what he
has.
We recommend provision for the
collection of taxes evaded by tax
dodgers from them and from their
estate after their decease.
We call for the revision of our laws
relating to the taxation of corporations
to the end that they may be forced to
bear an equitable share of the tax
| burden.
We believe that justice should be the
privilege and right of every citizen
and not luxury beyond the reach of
the poor; therefore. we demand the
removal of technical rules which dis
courage justice and make for delay.
1 We favor less formal pleadings. less
distinction between the courts Of law
and equity, and the adoption of rules
to discourage appeals for technical
errors. We favor reduction IN the
number of judges.
