PLACES WORTH SEEING BE-
FORE TRIPS ARE MADE TO
STARVED ROCK OR DEER PARK.

A new plan has been originated by
the Chamber of Commerce for adver,
tising Ottawa and showing the Wis
itors, especially delegates to conyen
tions here, an interesting time.
1T has been the custom in the past
to load people up in automobiles and
take them Immediately to Starved
Rock and Deer Park. There are nu.
merous places Of interest within the
city limits. and it is the present plan
to map out a route and spend a greater
portion of the time used on these trips
to driving about the city. The plan
will be used for the first time on next
Thursday afternoon, when the dele
gates to the War Mothers convention
will be taken on tour Of Ottawa
Special precautions will be taken
to see that the cars all follow the
route outlined, and in order to pro-
vent accidents and avoid congestion
the city officials have assigned Ser.
geant Duckwurth and his motorcycle
TO the job Of lining the cars up and
he will act as escort during the drive
around the city If the roads are IN
condition and there is enough time
to do so the cars will drive to Starved
Rock and Deer Park but as they will
leave the American Legion rooms
around O'Clock and are expected to
be back by O'Clock, it is question
whether or not the latter trip will be
made.

Raising blue foxes for their skins
started in Alaska on one OF the Prlbl-

brought from Greenland, their natural
habitat. For ten years the Industry
made little progress.
At present 200 islands are fox
ranches. over half million Is invested
In stock and equipment. while the
farmers realize about 100000 annual
ly from the sale Of pelts. An unprece-
dented increase in the demand for blue
fox furs is due, according to Northwest
furrlers.
Islands from 1900 acres down may
be leased for an annual payment OF
$50 for farming. They are barren and
bleak as a rule. On islands where
totems and native burial grounds are
found these plots must be fenced of
and carefully protected.
Alaskan blue fox pelis are said 10
be the best in the world.
