 Harveld Askerson is in the city with view of going into the business of raising blue foxes on some of the Alaska coast islands, says a Seattle paper. Harveld should be very careful of his ground; strange tales have come out of the North about the difficulties to be encountered in pushing the blue fox industry to success sfnl conclusion. The difficult lies are many. A hardy blue fox propagator recently from the North with more rheum- atisim than fox skins. It is an invitation to rheumatic twangs to chase around doing the chores on a fox farm. It seems that band of healthy blue foxes lay ont a race track a. round the edge of the island, as soon as landed, and the fox propagatOr is thereafter oblig- ed to chase them several times around the island to transact these chores. And at that they are quite apt to bnrrow into the ground when he locking them most earnestly. There Is another difficulty. The eagles select the fattest and most likely pups, carry them off. to their cyries and feed them to the caglets. Still, Harveld should not be wholly discour- aged. There are certain islands along the coast where the fox es are so thick that they come out on the prOmontories and bark at the ships as they pass by -'EN.
