winters are less severe and the far mer is in closer touch with Outside points.
 Fox fur farming is a lonesome and solitary occupation. Some of the far mers have gone as high as 26 months without being able to leave their ani. mals, and during that time being practically isolated. They take no reckoning of sickness, or death and get up early, cook their feed, make their rounds, and then repeat next day. The game is fascinating from one point as the foxes are cute animals, and the blues become as tame as dogs. They romp and play with the children of the married ranchers, and are effectionate to a degree.
 Blue foxes breed very rapidly and often have large filters. Wagner 6 Liljegren, in Prince William Sound, have one female which has Uttered 13 for many years. At $25O per pair she is valuable animal. Others have from two to nine. Joseph Ibach, an other large rancher on Middleton Island, has made enough to retire on, and has leased his farm on shares. MT. Whelpley, Andy Grosvold, To I p11ic Van Wm Eyer c. L. Holt J. D. Jefferson, Clyde Coombs, Dr. Burgin, and dozens of other men are making good money at the business.
 The work is hard, but healthful. The animals require constant care, and must be fed daily Teachers and eagles hover around ready to pick off an animal if chance offers, and the market rises and falls with great un- certainty. But at $50 per skin there is good money in raising blue foxes and the price has always been con siderably higher than this, during the war going to over $200 per skin.
 Marten and skunk are being tried out in several places, and the rac coon is also being introduced, but il is not known if they can be made tC pay as well as foxes. There are hundreds of islands suitable for fuI farming which are not yet taken, and the game can be entered by anyone with the nerve and capital to make good.

GOLD BOUNTY WOULD MEAN
 NEW MINING

Senator Oddie of Nevada, who sue ceeds Senator POindeXter as chairman of the committee on mines and min ing has recently introduced a bill to provide payment of bounty of $5 per ounce on newly mined gold from the United States and it's Territories, for period of three years. This is de- signed to give the average gold pro- ducer an opportunity for profitable op- eration until material costs are re- duced to a rational basis. Gold is the one commodity the market price of which is not affected by the law of supply and demand.
 The Fairbanks Commercial Club has wired the following message to Senator Oddie:
 we sincerely commend your Sen ate Bill 4O40. Are keenly awaiting it's progress. In Alaska only bonanza or especially economic types of gold deposits are profitably operating. Mines which ordinarily yield modest profit are closed with workings and equipment deteriorating. Alaska gold output synchronizes with world pro- duction as influenced by general eco- homie factors. Decline began in 1915 and continues sharply downward each year. Production last year but 55 of per cent of 1915 figures or decrease nine million dollars. Government and other competent authorities agree this not primarily due to depletion of re- serves. Geological Survey estimates in this district mined. Gold lode pro- duction this district declined eighty per cent 1916 compared with fifteen and is still practically dormant"
 The American Gold and Silver h. stitute is sponsoring the bill. Prof. Ernest N. Patty, who is a member of the consulting advisory committee of the Institute urges those vitally in- terested in the success of the meas ure to get in touch with or to write directly to Senator Oddie, expressing their views on the question.
 If this bill was in effect for three years it undoubtedly would rejuvenate many gold properties which cannot be mined profitably under present costs. The unqualified success of the Pitt man Act in stimulating silver produc- tion, with the consequent rehabiliment of the silver reserve of the U. s. Treasury has created with banking au- thorities and those in charge at Wash ington, a more sympathetic attitude toward legislation of this nature which will bolster up the decreasing supply of new gold. Since 1916 the worlds gold production has been regu- larly decreasing at an alarming rate: few mines find it profitable to operate

when their product does not advance in price concordant with their min ing costs. Paper money is not stable unless backed by gold reserve as has been again proven by the recent experiment in Europe.

whence water was splashed all over
the floor. She was never really COM

It was just when she had nearly

that some one told her about a new

basket 1t was soft bag of heavy

supports which rested on the sides
OF Mrs. Jimny's big bath tub. All she
had to do was to place the two
wooden arms on the rim of her tub,
turn back the canvas top against the
WALL fill her big tub with warm
water, and drop Jimmy Junior into
his bathbag. This bag was open at
all four corners so that the warm
water in the big tub flowed in and
out easily. When the bath was fin
ished. all she had to do was to re-
and let the water out.
But the best part Of this baby tub
was that the top of 1t was dressing

a turkish towel was thrown around
him and he was lifted In Mrs. Jimmy's
hinged top. This top made a fiat,
comfortable canvas table on which
he was laid to be dried, powdered,
kissed and dressed. In the little
pockets back of the hinged top were
spaces for soap, sponges, powder and
safety pins, all well out of reach of
the water.

nior his bath. but I thoroughly enjoy
it now" said Mrs. Jimmy.

Two Paths in Friendship.

We took sweet counsel together
in company,-Ps. 55:14. ,t-
There are two paths in friendship
UP and down.
What are you seeking in human In
tercourse? 1t is said that man may
be known by the company he keeps
Not always, He may be better kRown
by tho purpose with which he Keeps
1t. @
The Pharisees kept company with
respectable folk and found dead mems
b mes. Christ kept company with
publicans and sinners and found hid
den treasure.
If you are seeking in your fellow
men that which ministers to ambition
o. avarice or sensuality, or trying tt
make friends simply in order tina
they may help you to secure certain
advantages In the world of wealth OF
fashion, or forming ties of inttmac.
whose chief attraction lies In thei
apIeal to that which is selfish and
greedy and base in your nature, then
you are surely on the descending
path
But IL you are looking for that
which is best In the men and women
with whom you come into contact; If
you are seeking also to give then
that which is best in yourself: II
you are looking for a Friendship
which shall help you to know your
self as you are and TO fulfill yourself
as you ought to be. and for love
and mutual inspiration to all no
b.lity of living, then you are surely
on the ascending patti.
