Fox Farms Fail.

Many failures in the new industry
Of fox farming in Alaska are recorded
by E. Lester Jones, deputy commits
sioner of fisheries, in the report on bis
recent investigation in Alaska for the
department of commerce. He finds
that the promise of big profits caused
many to rush into the business, and
small fortunes were sunk by men who
did rot understand the difficulties o.
the industry.
The rush to raise foxes, the comnls
sioner says, was due to the exorbltan
prices paid for live black and silver
gray foxes raised in Canada. These
prices. he declares, did not indicate :
healthy condition in the industry Nei
ertheless there was rush to Fals
foxes III Alaska In the hope Of reapns
big profits quickly. One Of the tDs
reasons for the large majority Of l|
ures, according to the commisslous'
was the governments system Of le@
ing certain islands to prospective W.
farmeEs at a minimum of 5000 ys''
for five years. The figure proved "
high.

1t was only after we were comfo-,

While we talked a servant, on sipn.,
brought out the coffee tongs-tv,
spoons of iron chained together and
having handles Is inches long. GroeD
coffee beans were placed on the larso-
spoon. which was about six inches in
diameter, and were held over the FIRE
to roast. The other spoon. only an
inch in diameter, was used to stir tbs
beans and prevent burning. When tba
coffee was roasted the slow process n,
grinding began.
The grinder evidently felt that bIs
work was of great Importance and
should be done artistically. Each
stroke of the great wooden pestle was
accompanied by a double click on thu
side OF the deep wooden mortar. Then
the coffee was boiled, first in ops

straight handle, and then in anotbs,
Finally the grinder tasted it. Then thu
cups, two in number, began to circu.

two or three swallows of the strong,

to the chief men several times.

tried to make me understand how they
