 Court Are Buried
CRUESOME LEGAL EXHIBIT STAYS IN COURT VAULT FOR
 FOUR YEARS

Charred remains of William Wimbish, which have been lying in the vault at the court house for about four years, in company with a mass of records and oth CT exhibits in the case of the United States against John Coop CT, were buried yesterday by the colored people of Fairbanks, who obtained permit from the court Friday for that purpose.
 Cooper is now serving life sentence for the killing of Vim bish, and as the time has eX- pired for permitting an appeal in his case, it is possible to dispose of the exhibits in the case.
 When Wimbish and Cooper were mining together, the latter suddenly disappeared, and later when the charred bones of Vim bish were found in the ruins of a burned cabin, suspicion was centered on Cooper. He was tried and found guilty of the murder, and is now at McNeils island.

Moves. as re ceiver for the bank, against the former directors. The decision was rendered last Thursday The sui was for more than s5OO,OOO but the majority of the features of the case were dismissed
 While the defendants have made no serious objection to the findings of the court. some of them, in eluding John L. McGinn and R. C Wood, have announced their intention of taking an appeal to the higher court
 In his complaint, Receiver Moves charged that the defendants had acted in many ways illegally, and fraud was minated But the court took different view of the case and declared that no effort at de liberate fraud was found The great est item of the findings against the defendants involves $33,72O paid out by former directors John L. McGinn, R. c. Wood. Raymond Brumbaugh and John A. lesson when, according to the court, the bank did not contain funds that could be used for that purpose This money must be repaid by them each one being held responsible for the payment of the full amount, ill case it's collection is not made pos sible from the others.

Fox Farming to Be Big Industry Here Canadian Report Shows Great Profits

Fox farming is giving promise O becoming one of the most importan Of Alaska industries, though as ye the local fox farms are but in thei infancy. A study Is being made a present of the successful fox farm: on the Atlantic coast of Canada b, Alaskans who are contemplating starting in the industry here on d large scale.
 According to recent report from Prince Edward island. Canada. the fox farms. which were established there at a total cost of $6.O00,0 900 realized a total revenue last year of $4.000.000. IL is believed tha, successful here as in Canada.
 There are a few small fox farms near Fairbanks, one of which it that of C. Sicotte. five miles north of this city. Vachon Brothers estab lished fox farm 75 miles down the river at Tolovana year ago, and it is expected that by the end of this year the owners will begin to get some definite idea regarding the re- turns that can be expected
 Fox farming in Alaska is handi- capped in a way by recent govern ment regulations regarding the ship ping of live foxes out of the Ter ritory and the restriction of cap turing live foxes during the spring time of the year. when the pups are small and can be more readily cap tured. An effort is being made at the present time to get these regu- lations modified.
 Most Valuable Alive.
 A good live fox is worth about as much as it is after 1t is dead, for just now the demand for foxes for breeding purposes is greater than for their furs. Thus fox that would be worth as much as 5000 alive, may have skin that would be worth only $500 when 1t Is cured. Under present regulations live foxes cannot be shipped out of the Territory unless they have been reared on a fox farm. and even then a special permit must be secured from the government before they may be shipped away Thus the fox in dustry as far as the trappers are concerned, is handicapped, thought as a matter of promoting the in dustry here. the regulation is be- lieved to be good, for it will stop the tendency of exporting the native foxes for breeding in other places
 Only an expert can determine the value of fox fur, for a small blem- ish or a few stray hairs that are off color will interfere with its value materially.

CURING MEAT

Meat that is to be cured should a.
ways be thoroughly cooled and beA.
cut into convenient sizes, before itsS
put into the brine or packed in dsY
salt. The pieces most commonly 49,
for this purpose are ham, shoulder 1an6E
bacon pieces from pork; and f&es
cheaper cuts, such as the plate, shesIzs
der and chuck ribs, Of beef. Mute
is very seldom cured and preserved, !,
but is mostly used fresh. All tlllse
pieces that are to 60 through tho cur
ing process should be well trimmed,
SO as to have no ragged edges or anys
scraggy ends left, as these portio1es
will become dry and be practissl
wasted. -. ~. ~ sszs: - 8. go 5s8
The two methods Of curing meat
that are commonly used are the bEiine
process and dry-curing. Brine-cuIod
meats are probably the best for fAx11
use, for several reasons. In the fIok
place, on most farms it is imposnble
to secure a desirable place in wkieks
to dry-cure. It is also less strnblo To-:
handle the meat when brine'cAred -
the only attention that it requires -
to properly prepare and pack tho meet
in the vessel, and prepare the brine
for it. Whereas, in the case Of the
dry-curing method, it requires consid
erable time to rub and salt the mead
at different times.-Andrew Boas,
Agriculturist, University Farm, Sc

Women Students In Germany.

The number of women students at
German universities has been nearly
quadrupled during the last six years,
according to figures just announced.
In the winter of 1908, when the doors
of German universities We're first fully
thrown open to women, there were
1,1O8 women students enrolled. Today
there are 3,6S5 women taking regular
courses and as many more who are
attending lectures. More than 6 per
cent Of the total number Of students
at the German universities are wo-
men. More than half Of all the wo-
men are studying philosophy, Ian
guages and history; somewhat more
than a fourth are studying medicine
and more than one-fifth natural SCI
ences.
Nearly 400 Of the women students
are foreigners. Russia sends the lar
gest number: and America the next.
The women have for three years been
going more to the non-Prussian uni
versities. Leipzig and Munich especial
ly had large gains in that time, and
the smaller institutions like Jena,
Wuerzburg and Freiburg have also
made relatively large gains.
