When the records of the past legislatures, as shown by the Session Laws of the past four ses- sions, are examined, an awful mess is stirred up. A small sprinkling of good laws amidst mass of rot.

Langum, Driscoll, NJ d., half sisters

Albert Bortnem was an exceptionally
fine character. Everyone who knew
him speaks well of him because there
was something about him that was 80
likable. Deep down in his nature was
embedded sincere regard for what
was right. proper and good and he
lived accordingly.
AS a farmer he was of the progress
sive type, always looking ahead, al
ways willing to try out anything that
seemed an improvement on former
farm methods.
Albert Bortnem has been in rather
poor health for the last two or three
years, but it was from the effects of
appendicitis that he died. the appen-
dix having burst before the operation
could be performed He was doing
very well seemingly after the opera

Is days.
Besides a loving wife and children

Much lllegA Trapping in
 Alaska, Says Dr. Nelson

Dr. E. w. Nelson, who, as chief of the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture, has charge of the regulations for the protection of fur bearing ami mals, is of the opinion, after mak- ing a trip through Alaska, that there is considerable illegal trap ping in the Territory, especially of beaver and marten, which are now protected by law. Dr. Nell son said:
 My view of the matter is that although these animals are pro- tected by the Government they are the property of the people of Alaska. Byobserving the closed season, they would get a start and become plentiful enough to take off the restrictions and allow trapping for them for a few years, to be followed by another restricted period if they again become depleted to an extent threatening extinction. In this manner the industry could be per petuated."
 Under the present conditions, according to Dr. Nelson, those Alaskans who are honestly ob- serving the law, are being cheated out of part of their resources by the ones who are wilfully taking beaver and marten in violation of the law. "The people who are observing the law owe it to them selves to give the officials every assistance in putting a stop to the illegal practice, he said.

Islands Being Stocked Up By
 Fox Ranchers
Fox Farming Industry Be- ing Developed; Stocks
 Placed on Nearby Islands

Renewed developments in the fox farming industry in southeastern Alaska is told ot by Lee Harpole. St. Elias lighthouse keeper, who arrived in Juneau recently for a short stay. Two islands, Indian and Lemesurer, near Icy Straits, al- ready have received stock and at least one other island near Juneau is to be restocked, according to MT. Harpole.
 He made the trip from Cordova to Hoonah with Capt. ]. P. Ibach, who has been raising foxes for sev- eral years on Middleton Island, in the Prince William Sound district for export. From Middleton Island Captain Ibach brought eight blue fox pups to Lemesurer Island, add ing them to 24 which he placed there last summer. He also brought 40 animals, blues, to Indian Island for Jack Carson, that location hav- ing been secured. by him for breed- ing and raising purposes. Captain Ibach had planned to add 50 pairs to his stock at Lemesurer Island this tall, but owing to indictment weather was unable to do so. These will be brought down early next spring.
 Carson, now on Indian Island, has been associated with Joe Hill and Frank Townsend on Wingham Island near katalla. That location, however, has been outgrown by the business and it has been found necessary to seek other islands. On this account the old firm has split up, Carson starting alone on Indian Island. MT. Hill applied for permission to use Sullivan 1s- land, in Lynn Canal, near Haines, while MT. Townsend will remain on Wingham. ::
 The islands in southeastern Alas ka are declared by MT. Harpole to be ideal for the establishment of fox ranches and in his opinion, 1t is but a question of time until most of them are utilized for this pur- pose. On all of them, he says, those who have investigated the matter have found plenty of feed and favorable climatic conditions. Empire.
