 question of shipping pelts of foxes, but enterprising Alaskans are now cratng the animals and shipping them on the basis of live stock, ac- cording to word received by the Alaska Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce from Petersburg, one of the distributing centers for the fox farming industry in southeastern Alaska. A recent shipment of live foxes was valued at $63, ,OO0 and part of the shipment was from Skagway and the interior.
 Citizens of Wrangoll, after having been convinced that fox farming is to be one of the established indus tries of the territory, organized a company to engage in fox farming on Niblack islands. about thirty miles from Wrangell, and the first shipment of foxes has been ordered from the Hercules ranch on Sockeye island near Petersburg This ranch recently made shipment of eighty foxes to a fox ranch at Glencoe
 Minn.. including blue foxes and few siIvers, and several of the isl ands in southeastern Alaska have already stocked their farms with foxes from the Hercules ranch.
 Favorable climatic conditions, abundance of food and protection from outside interference make the islands of southeastern Alaska es. pe@!ally suited for the fox farming business. Very recently farmers oc- cupied several islands to restoctl the fox farms, among tho islands to have this industry being Indian and LemesCur islands.
