FOX RAISING
 BICINDUSTRY IN ALASKA

One of the Alaska industries that seems to be particularly in the money the past season in that of fox farming.
 On many of the islands in Prince William sound and on the adjacent small islands to Kodiak, to the west ward, and also around the mouth of the inlet, both on small islands and on the mainland of the Kenai peninsula there are lot of people now engaged in the business of propagating foxes. l There are several kinds being bred black, grays and blues. But the big gest success, seemingly, is to the breeders of the blue variety.
 Most people, who have not investi- gated the matter are of the opinion tl.at this fur-raising business is entire ly in it's infancy and the industry has been seriously hampered by the start ing of lot of blue sky companies which had only the theory for a capi- tai stock, but nevertheless a great many thoughtful people are now put ting lot of labor and money into the business. AS in all new ventures much experimenting has been done and some of it has been costly, but at the present time the industry is getting on fine basis; the United States agri- cultural department is making it a study and are offering the fruits of their investigations to the people in tfe business.
 All over the country, from New York to California, money is being put into fur production, but under equal care and attention the business should be much more valuable here in Alaska than in any other place on account of the superiority of the fur produced, the abundance of the right kind of food and the availability of getting new strains of wild stock.
 Several big shipments of fox skins have been made from Alaska the past winter, mostly blue skins, and from now on the industry should increase very rapidly. There is practically an unlimited demand for prime fur and tke day may be soon at hand when the fur industry, by fur farm production, may be brought back to the point in Alaska that it was in the sea otter days when single shipments of fur amounting to million dollars were Ecde. r
 When one considers that practically the one and only industry of this ter. ritory for the generations in which it was governed by Russia as we'll as two or three decades after the Ameri cfn occupancy was the fur business it will not be hard to estimate the pos

WRECKED MATERIAL
 FOR RAILROAD SAVED
 FROM SUNKEN BARGE

Word brought to town by musher arriving from Fairbanks, indicates that all of the railroad material, con- sisting mostly of rails, spikes and bolts, which had been sunk on barge in tow of the steamer Shusana late last summer, has now been recovered and is stacked upon the bank of the river, awaiting favorable opportun- ity for shipment to point near the railroad.
 The material was being conveyed on the barge in tow of the Shusana, to Cinema, where it was to have been unloaded and taken by rail to the Happy division of the railroad for ex- tention purpose. While opposite Eat em-up" Franks place, the barge, which had evidently struck sub merged snag, filled and sank, in fairly deep water.
 The contract for salvaging the con tents of the barge was awarded to Carl Crueger this winter. He cut away the ice and around the barge and with the help of a horse and some block and tackle, succeeded in taking out ell the material. The barge itself is said to be in bad shape and is prob ably not worth saving.
 The shipment consisted of 320 rails, $40 angel bars, 52 kegs of spikes and bolt, and 25 wheelbarrows.

AMERICA CAN RENDER HUMANE SERVICE IN
 PROTECTING ARMENIA

LONDON, April 30 (by Associated Press) We ask America to assume a burden, to perform a service to humanity says Professor Gilbert Murray, of Oxford university, in a statement advocating that the United States accept mandate of the league of nations to administer and protect Armenia.
 Armenia has been saved from the Turks and Kurds after suffering one of the most awful prosecutions known to history" adds Professor Murray. "A remnant of the Armenians still alive can be reconstructed into a na- tion but they will be too weak and disorganized to maintain indepcnd' ence or internal order unless they are helped and protected by some other nation.
 "The protecting nation must be very strong, absolutely disinterested known and trusted by the Armenians, and not already overburdened by other duties elsewhere. There is no nation in the world except America which satisfies these four conditions.
 "If America will accept the man. date, the Armenians can still be saved as a people; if America refuses, one more region of the world is in dan ger of slipping into anarchy"

And right here in this unconquer-
able optimism we find the only true

along with him went gladness, and
from his radiant presence despair fled
as the darkness fees before the rising

He was like the wonderful river in
the sea, warming and encouraging all

humanity, he put new life and cour-

And he was able to do this because
he was so gloriously hopeful, so

If Jesus had written a poem we

and a conqueror, friend and helper

It is well, then, that in obedience

OPINION IS UNANIMOUS
Enforcement Act and Status of 2.75
Per Cent Beer Not involved
In RuIing-"Wet" Holdiya
Time Goes GIimmering.

Washington. Dec. 16.-Wartime pro-
United States supreme court in un-
animous decision.
Enforcement of the act must con,
tinue until peace is proclaimed, the
court decreed.
The decision was sweeping victory
for the contentious of the prohibitions
lists and the government. 1t means
that the millions of gallons of intoxi-
eating liquors now stored throughout
the country and valued at about ST.
000,000,000 will be near total loss
unless peace is proclaimed before con
stitutiOnal prohibition becomes effec-
tive.
Constitutional Prohibition Untouched.
By the decision the government will
lose $440,000,O00 in revenue from
whisky alone, unless the ban is lifted
before Jan. 16.
No decision was rendered on the
case involving the constitutiOnality OF
the Volstead law, the prohibition en-
forcement act, framed to carry out the
intent Of the prohibition amendment
to the constitution.
In passing however, Associate JUS
time Louis D. Brandeis did hold that
the prohibition amendment was bind
ing on the states as well as the fed
eral government.
The court entirely reversed the con
tentiOn of the vets that wartime
prohibition was outside the wartime
powers of congress and pointed out
that wartime control Of food and rail
roads still were in effect.
The decision added one of the final
milestones to the long flight to make
the country dry.
The court will render opinions again
in week at which time the beer
cases are expected to be decided, after
which the court will recess until Jan.
5. The prohibition constitutional
amendment will become effective Jan.

49, Such days are the monu-
ments of mental and spiritual achieve
ment, the eternal reminders of the
only true progress-the progress that
enables US to perceive and admire the
moral sublime.
Conspicuously radiant among these
gala days is the Christmas, standing
as it does for the nativity Of One who,
all theological quibbling aside, was the
living embodiment of the most beau
tiful and, at the same time, the most
helpful manhood that this world has
ever seen.
The one who is foremost in our
thoughts at this time was pre-eminent-
ly hopeful. From the harp over
which he swept his hand there came
no pessimistic strain, no note Of de-
spair.
He gave us the gospel, the 'Gla'l
Tidings." To all his word was BE
not afraid" The Supreme in whose
embrace he ever rested, like the babe
in mothers arms, was supreme love.
Hence that other word of his, which
he was so fond of repeating to the
multitude, "Let not your hearts be
troubled"
Religion, so-called, is responsible
for vast amount of mental misery.
1t has crazed many mind, broken
many a heart, driven countless thou
sands into the throes of despair, but
