Local Fox arm
 Is Written Up

A picture of Joseph s. Sterling. of this city, holding up live sl- yer grey fox by its tail is in the Seattle P-I. in October 5 The ar ticle accompanying the picture l. as follows:
 The man holding the fox by the tail is Joseph s. Sterling, cf Fair hanks, Alaska, but the real interest of the picture centers in the up- side down fox. The fox is sii- yer grey and his pelt is probably worth about $500 at the present market price, Anybody who wany 5 to gain a real idea of how hard it is to earn $500 ought to try to catch it in the shape of a live fox. It is just about as hard to hold the live fox, onec t is caught, as it i, to save $500
 Another thing about this fox, II was raised by a cat. It belongs to the Alaska Silver Fox X Flu Farms, of Fairbanks, and was cap tured when very young. Having 70 foster mother on the ranch. which is the largest on the Amer:- can continent, the fox, with another brother, was turned over to the do- mestic tabby, which acted as a wet nurse.
 This fox, along with forty nine other silver greys, five blue foxes and ten cross foxes, is on it's way to Plattsburg N. Y, to be delivered to an eastern fox farming corpora tion, which has bought them, The foxes arrived from Alaska by the steamship Mariposa, and continued their journey yesterday.

 In my judgment this is the best location for the institution in the Interior of Alaska, but the difiicu:. ties suggested must be cleared away before the site can be utilized, obstacles to overcome at any other place which is fitted for this in f'.''.'~n o,d altogether it will prob ably be easier to secure title to the Territory here. notwithstanding the apparently insuperable obstacles, than at any other place in this region.
 On account of the peculiarly val uable medicinal qualities of thesa waters. and the other advantages of the site, I recommend that the institution provided for by the act of the Legislature be located at t."

ENCOUNTER WITH GRIZZLY

Two prospeCtors. Bert Bruner and Tom Webb, Lad an encounter with a grizzly bear on the north end of Atlin lake which they will not soon forget They were out on a trail probably 45 miles from Atlin when they saw couple of cubs, to which they gave chase. Then the mamma bear showed up and Webb scaled tree, but Bruner attempted to frighten off the assailant by beating on a goldpan. But the bear contin- ued to come and when Bruner real ized that he was unable to frighten or even stop her he made for a tree, but was too late. With a cou- pie of leaps the infuriated animal was upon him. knocking him down and biting him on the neck, shoul- ders, arms and hips Webb left his perch in tree to help his partner and, in turn, got his in the same manner as Bruner After cuffinS the men around for some time, the bear left them and followed her cubs into the forest. The men were un able to walk when found by John Bowden, who made the 45-mile trip to Atlin afoot In l6 hours and sent back a boat for the lacerated men. They were taken to Atlin, where they are now recovering in the hospital Star.
