Fox Farmer Goes
 To States With
 $4O,0O0 in Pelts
A. B. Somerville is Half Owner of Profitable Busi- ness on Aleutians, 800 Miles From the Nearest P0StOffiCe.

SEATTLE-More than $40, GOO for a seasons work.
 That is why Captain A. B. Som- erville, once a mariner in Alaskan waters and now half. owner of one of Alaska's most prosperous fur farms. is in Seattle ready to start on his annual tour of the States. He arrived last week and with him came an assortment of more than 200 blue, white and silver gray fox skins. And when the veteran mar iper returns to Alaska late this year he will probably be minus his skins but richer by more than $40, 900.
 The Alaska fur farm was first started by the Russians. During the Russian occupancy of Alaska the Arctic fox was found on the mainland of Northern Alaska and specimens were taken to various islands for propagation. That ex- plains the origin of the valuable blue fox, of which Captain Somer- vile has 200 skins, each valued at S2oo. The blue fox was originally the Arctic white fox which, brought to the warmer climate of Southern Alaska, turned a soft blue color.
 The white fox in the Arctic has a slight blue tinge to its fur in sum- mer, but turns deeper blue when brought to a warmer climate.
 Its the continual fog belt around the Aleutian Islands that makes the fur of the blue fox of such high quality" explained Captain Somerville, who maintains ad- quarters at Attu island, the farthest island of the Aleutian group. Ills nearest postohice is at Unalaska, 8oo miles distant, and this is the distance he must travel to mail a letter.
 Five islands near Attu were stocked with foxes eight years ago from animals originally placed on Attu Island by the Russians. From this group of fewer than 50 foxes on the five islands eight years ago. Captain Somervlle and w. Walker, his partner, now realize fortune every year.
 It is impossible to estimate the number of foxes on the five islands, for the animals are very timid and never in sight," said Captain Som- erville. From November to March each year we send natives to the islands to trap the foxes, whose belts I collect in our 5o-ton schooner Emma"
 The collecting of skins is haz- ardous task, for 1t means 4oo-mile journey in the schooner during the bad weather period. A few years ago Captain Somerville, while mak- ing his rounds among the fox is lands, was shipwrecked, and was rescued by the revenue cutter Ia homa.
 Captain Somerville is experi- menting in breeding the black fox, the most valuable of its kind, the best skins of which command as high as S2, 500. These experiments have been under way during the past three years and favorable re- suits are expected shortly. Captain is renewing friendships at the Arlington Hotel and leaves soon for St. Louis, where he will dispose of his furs at the fur action sale to be held there in October Post- Intelligencer.

past two months, there has been no
reduction of rents, and the workers
are paying more than ever for coal
and other essential commodities. To
accept, under the circumstances, low
er wages means that they must also
accept lowered living standards.
The manufacturers believe that
the growing army of the unemployed
augmented by the incoming hordes
from Europe, will soon start COM
petition for jobs that will bring
about the result for which they are
striving-the destruction of labor
groups and the breaking down of
wage standards that have been built
up not because labor was greedy
and arrogant, but because, for the
first time in several decades, labor
was in position to say something
its services.
Manufacturers say that the work
ers are mot now so cocky." There
has been no break in their ranks,
but they rely upon starvation to
bring that about. By recruiting the
ranks of unemployed, they forsee
the day when workers will be as alb
iect and submissive as the most au-
tocratic employer could demand.
Starvation is autocracy's weapon,
and it is using it in manner that
gives all thoughtful citizens cause
for pause. The situation is electric
with potentialities, but the manufac-
turers are indifferent to them. They
have set out to rule and ruin, and
labor facts the most desperate strug-
gle.

WHAT THE LAST CENSUS
SHOWS

The census shows that a majority
of this country's people live in cities
Of over $500 inhabitants. 1t is an
unhealthy situation, and shows
clearly enough that the high cost of
living brings no advantage to the
actual producer of food. Working
farmers are going to the cities. be-
cause it pays better to work in a
factory than on the farm. The cause
of this is plain. In spite of the de-
cline in agricultural population, rural
land values are increasing. They
have reached and passed the point
beyond which profitable production
can be carried on. The farmer can
not pay the eXorbitant prices de-
manded for farm land and make
enough to make a decent living for
himself after paying interest on the
investment, taxes on all he produces
and consumes, and extortionate prices
olies. Until that situation will be
remedied, until the cause of the trou-
Bile shall be removed, the tendency to
go from farm to city will probably
continue even though city workers
have more than their share of hard
snip and trouble. The remedy is first
Of all to force the monopolists to let
go who are holding valuable farm
lands unused This can be done by
taxing land values enough to make
holding without use Improbable
Then all taxes on labor products
should be abolished. These two
steps will force down the price of
land and reduce the cost of living
and of production. The same meas
ures applied to cities and mining re-
gions will have similar results to
workers there. 1t will put an end
to all the monopolies that rest on
control of natural resources or pub
lie highways and profit from the OBJ
struction to industry created by taxes
on labor. This remedy should have
been applied long ago. Legislators
have long been urged by Single Tax
ers to do it and have long been told
what their failure to heed is costing
the country. The legislators have
scoffed in reply. They may scott
again. Bat they cannot scott away
the results of their refusal. They
may apply, as they have on other oc-
casions, false remedies. But the false
remedies will not interfere with the
working of fundamental evils that
are left undisturbed. Either the right
remedy must be applied or the trou-
bic must grow worse.
