ARTICLE ON BLUE
 FOX INDUSTRY IN TERRITORY

the Ketchikan district, which have from ten to twenty pairs of foxes or more, are Patterson, Hotspur, Blank, Long, Rudyerd, Grindell, Onslow, Eagle and Osten. These islands all within easy reach of the principal towns along the coast, from Ketchikan to Sitka, and to date 150 permits have been issued by the bureau of forestry to applicants.
 Comfortable dwelling houses and all other appurtenances have been con- structed on the islands, with the usual garden where the soil is fertile enough to raise all the garden truck that is usually shipped to Alaska, and in many ways it is superior in quality to the outside product
 Also the climate; many people have the erroneous impression that it is too warm and wet in this latitude for fur farming. But the Alexander archipeli- go at it's most southern extremity is
 
 ern islands of the Aleutian group, which are inhabited by the fox and are inhabited by the fox and are more affected by the Kuro-Siwo, or Jap anese current. The islands here are subjected to northly winds that come from the glaciers of the coast range, or the cool breezes from the seaward. In fact there is never the sultry heat of the interior uplands, where the fur-bearing animals undergo the shed- ding process. There is also a proba- bility that the blue fox in his semi wild state, will in time become do- mesticated animal, through civilized surroundings and especially the regu- larity of his feeding time.
 It is credit to the Territory and to those who have embarked in this new industry, showing their renewed faith in the future of Alaska, that over $5OO,000 have been invested with in eighteen months without any ad- vance agents or single space of newspaper advertising. It shows real Alaska spirit, with the slogan, "do it now" not as get-rich-quick proposi- ton, but with the object of making it life work. There need not be any fear as to the fur market; there are more people wearing fur apparel today than twenty years ago; and the wild animal has no doubt diminished to some extent through intensive trap ping during the past decade Alaska will in the future furnish the worlds fashion centers with the furs that will demand the highest price.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-02-24

The last number of the Pathefind- CT published the following interesting article on the growth of the blue fox industry in Alaska written by Joe Ulmer, well known mining man of Ketchikan:
 The article published in the June number of The Pathfinder on fur farming, especially on the raising of blue foxes on the islands of Prince William Sound and the westward isl ands, are the first authentic informa- tion in connection with this industry in Alaska that has so far been pub lished. The raising of blue foxes in semi-wild state where the animals are left free to roam is strictly Alas kan, and the pioneers of this industry had many obstacles to overcome be- fore they realized any material re- turns from their investments. Most of them had to work out their own problem of how to obtain best results
 The cradle of the blue fox industry in Southeastern Alaska is Sumdum Island, where Jim York, in 1901, start to raise blue foxes. A short time later Hound Island was taken up but after wards abandoned. Patterson Island, at the entrance of Kasaan bay, was used for foxe raising in 1906, but the enterprise was a failure Sukoi Isl ands, near Petersburg, which the writ CT visited in the fall of 1912, where for number of years different par ties had leases from the Government, followed. A few years ago Grover Cleary and associates took over the Sukoi Islands, together with the i'm improvements, and with number of foxes organized the Sukoi Island Fox Company. Later they took a number of foxes to Strait Island, in Sumner strait, in order to increase their breed ing stock, for which there was a ready market. Two years ago E. c. How ard, of Ketchikan, stocked Patterson Island with marten, but found it more profitable to raise blue foxes. The Ketchikan Fur Farms, with Hotspur, Harris and Derrick islands, was incor- porated and fifty pairs of breeding stock were purchased and placed on the islands. To date a number of other companies and individuals have taken up every available island, that is suitable for fox raising, in South eastern Alaska, for which privilege the lessee pays to the bureau of for estry, an annual rental of $25 for each island. The principal islands in
