DEPARTMENT TELLS
 ABOUT F0x FARMING
Says Good Opportunities Exist in the North and Reasonable Returns
 for Work Is Sure.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. B. Silver fox farming, the possibilities of which have attracted considerable attention in recent years because of the money milady spends for silver fox furs is under present conditions a highly speculative and uncertain busf- ness, according to specialists of the U. s. Department of Agriculture Since 1910 the profits in the business have been derived chiefly from the sale of live foxes for breeding. Re gently the demand for these foxes has fallen off because of milady's fan cy changing, and in consequence a sharp decline has ensued in prices.
 As long as high prices for the belts are maintained. black and silver fox farming offers good opportunities for reasonable returns providing that the location of the farm and other condi- tions are favorable.
 The silver fox can be raised where ever foxes live in a wild state but the fur will be of superior quality in the eastern and northern states
 A pair of good breeding foxes have been known to bring several thousand dollars each on the market, but com mon silvers can be purchased for breeding purposes for from $150 to $20O each. The silver fox is very nervous. The female is so nervous she will often kill her young to pro tect them from imaginary dangers.
 Foxes require great care in feed ing and varied diet; which includes meat, fish. mush, milk, bread and table scraps. From $5 to $15 a year for each animal must be allowed for feeding. Only about half of the fe- male foxes produce young in any giv- en year. and as the average litter is four cubs the annual increase on fox farms does not average above 100 per cent.

B. [. PLANNING L|FE.SAv|NG TUG
on West Coast of Vancouver Island to Save Life.

VICTORIA: In an effort to pre- vent repetition of the Carelmapu, the Canadian government is planning to establish a chain of life-saving stations to extend from a point near from Barclay Sound, where the Ban- field power lifeboat is stationed to Quatsina sound and along the outer shores of the Queen Charlotte isl ands.
 The advisability of maintaining a lifesaving tug similar in type to the United States coast guard cutter Sno- homish is also being considered by the Canadian government authorities.
 Manager R. c. Hill of the Seattle Merchants Exchange and the United States coast guard service Ill Seattle Monday were asked for a description of the Snohomish and the possibility of a Canadian life-saving tug estab. fishing systematic patrol of the west coast of Vancouver Island. which is known as the graveyard of the Pa. cific." If the craft is built she will be stationed at Banfield creek, but will spend most of her time in pa trolling the coast.
 Seattle shipping men are great fly interested in the plans of their neighbors on the North to maintain additional lifesaving stations and life saving tugs on the west coast of Van couvel island. There is danger of American vessels as we'll as those of other flags losing their way off Cape Flattery in foggy weather, or being driven on the Vancouver island shore, and shipping men all along the coast are taking a deep interest in the plans of the Canadian authorities. Since the wreck of the Chilean ship Carelmapu, with a loss of nine teen lives, the establishment of a pa trol service on the west coast of Van- couver island is being urged. Ship ping men emphasize the need of a lifesaving craft capable of taking a sailing vessel like the Carelmapu in tow and saving her from destruction on the rocky shore.

MINE VICTIM WAS KNOWN IN VALDEZ
Two Years Ago for Wife Deser- tion Meets Death at Thane.

Investigation has shown that John C. Byard, who was killed in a recent mine accident at Thane, is the man who was arrested in Valdez in 1914 on a complaint sworn out by his wife whom he had left in the East when he brought another young woman to the north. He was convicted at Sew ard on a statutory charge and sen fenced to one year at McNeil's island, and was discharged last August after serving his sentence.
 The girl also served three months in Seward and continued to make her home there until Byard was released when she went to Seattle where they were married, as Byard had been freed by divorce from the wife whom he had left in the East.
 The case attracted considerable at- tention at the time of the arrest and trial of the couple, as they had been apprehended on orders from Wash ington. The couple had been traced by federal detectives across the con- tinent from Virginia, and were taken in charge by the local authorities soon after their arrival. During the trial it was shown that Byard at one time had been possessed of consider able wealth which he had turned over to his wife and family before leaving the East. He was working as la borer when he met his death.

Two National Figures C~ontrasted.

The Mexican muddle has caused TWO
persons of national repute to stand out
in marked contrast: John Wannama-
maker, the foremost merchant OF
America, has encouraged the organlza-
ton OF a military company composed
entirely of his employees whose names
will remain on his payroll while they
are in the service of the country ana
whose positions will be open to them
when they return. Henry Ford, the
foremost automobile manufacturer OF
America, mas announced to his employ
.ees that if they volunteer Tor SER
vice in Mexico they will be dropped
from his payroll and their positions
will be permanently filled by others.
Between two countries, one composed
altogether of John Wannamakers and
the other composed altogether of Fen
ny Fords, in which would you prefer

Examination Less Rigid.

In order to enlist soldiers that are
needed for immediate service, the war
department has issued orders making
the . physical examination less rigid.
The usual hysical..requirements are so
ssxacting that only a very small per
cent. of those who manifest a desire to
Join the army are accepted.
At the various recruiting stations
last wear in Is cities in different parts
of the. county of the 41,00O young men
who presented themselves for enlist
ment less than 10 per cent, only about
$500 were received. The 80 per cent.
who were rejected were physically def
.cient in one way or another.
The deficiency is said to be due to
-whiskey, tobacco and fast living. For
such a large portion of the young men
of our country to be physically unsound
does not portend we'll for the future.
If the race is to be p%erpetuated by
parents who are wanting in vigor and
strength, there must follow a physical
decline of the race that will ultimately
nave a telling effect.
Just as the government, through a
special investigation, found that the
country's citizenship was being Sc
riously injured by the use of opium
and its derivatives, and asa result of
this investigation. passed the Harri-
son drug act restricting the sale of
habit forming drugs, so should an in
vestigation be made into the cause of
rhe physical deficiency of so large a
per cent. of the young men of the
country.
