P0ACHERS ARE
 GREAT MENACE FOX FARMERS

SEATTLE, Jan. 24.-Poachers have become a serious menace to fox farming in Alaska according to Dr. lB. c. Mathis, of Petersburg, an of ficer of the Blue Fox Farmers As sociation of Southeastern Alaska, who was here recently on business connected with the association.
 Skins of blue foxes are so valu- able, he said, that the poacher, in a few days trapping on some iso- lated farm, is enabled to make con- siderable money The next Terri torial Legislature will consider a bill making it unlawful to sell a blue or silver fox skin that has not been properly registered and stamped by a Territorial inspector, Dr. Mathis said.
 The quarrelsome nature of the silver fox is serious obstacle to silver fox farming in the Territory, according to Dr. Mathis, who said the blue foxes were more peaceable and therefore easier to raise. Most of the farms are on small, isolated islands. and the foxes are permitted to live under as nearly natural con ditions as possible. The foxes, un- able to rustic" enough food for themselves, are fed on cooked and smoked fish, breakfast foods and other cereals. Dr. Mathis expressed the belief that the blue foxes ulti- mately would become completely GOmesticated.
