 Mir Dahl raises Siberian black and Arctic white rabbits on Spuhn Island. which is but few miles from Juneau just over the "bar." He has been having very good success with this unique venture. The meat finds a ready sale in the local restaurants at 50 cents per pound. Some of the rabbits have reached weight of + pounds The flesh is fine and com pares very fayorably with, chicken.
 The flrs of the animals last fall brought SIP each in the eastern mar kets: Correspondence that Mr. Dahl has had with fur, houses this year would indicate that an even higher price will be paid on account of the advance in price of all grades of fur The furs are beautiful and are not in any way like the ordinary rabbit skin but compare in texture and luster with the best fox skins. tg'
 Unlike the ordinary rabbit the spe- cies raised by Mir Dahl are not pro- life breeders but only have filters once q year. Great care must be taken to see that old rabbits do not kill their young Besides the green stuff that is raised on the island Mir Dahl feeds the rabbite mostly on al falfa.

The result is that the links arc transformed into a sort of a roofing section of a bleachers at a baseball or football game
 The idea of the contest is to cure nervous players. The Bletherin last March was a big success. Three. o, four hundred spectators followed the contest and they had noisy, jolly time. The surprising feature was the remarkable steady playing of tho contestants. They steeled them selves against the racket and made very presentable scores.
