YOUNG LADIES SELL
 WESTWARD FOX RANCH

Misses Edna and Ella Cloudman of Ellamar, are spending few days in Cordova, preparatory to leaving for the states where they will attend business college. They have re- gently sold their interest in the fox ranches which they conducted at Bligh island and Busby islands to D. D. Stewart and Angus Mcdonald, of Valdez. The property is valu- able one and includes about $3,000 worth of animals besides several buildings.
 The new owners have taken pos session of the ranches and are now getting ready for their winters work. About ten pairs of foxes will be pur- chased and placed on the island.
 It is said that there is plenty of feed in the vicinity of the islands, the animals feeding themselves in the summer from several good fish streams which flow from the noun tain sides.
 Bligh island is directly south of Ellamar separated from the main land by Tatitlek narrows, and is about five miles long by four wide. The highest elevation is 1630 feet. Busby island is separated from Bligh island by a narrow stretch of water and is nearly west of Ellamar. There is considerable fertile land on Bligh iland.

seem willing TO give the United States
the benefit Of the argument that she
is unwilling 10 make z redical depart
ure from her former policy without
due consideration. The letter is view
ed as q powerful appeal 10 America
to enter the league. and The SUNDAY

posed by the United States Senate

are INDUCED the less she is inclined
10 insist upon them"
