Rev. H. P. Corser Contributes
 An Article to the Pathfinder

The January issue of the Path finder Magazine contained an ex- cellent article telling of the activi- ties of the Wrangell Igloo of Pio- neers during the past year. The article was contributed by the Rev. H. P. Corser, president of the local Igloo. The concluding paragraph of MT. Corser's article is as follows:
 "The prospects of Wrangell were never brighter. Wrangell is in the center of the Alaska timber district, and a large concern with unlimited capital back of it has bonded the holdings of the Wrangell Pulp and Paper Company, and steps are being taken for immediate development and the establishment of large pa- per industry. A few miles from Wrangell is the mineraliZed zone reaching from Hyder, at the south, to Juneau. In this section valuable lead and silver ores have already been found, and it is only ques- tion of time when there will be a number of good paying mines. In all this development the Pioneers are doing more than their share"

W. T. LOPP RETURNS SEATTLE
 FROM TRIP OF INSPECTION

". T. Lopp. chief of the Alaska School Service, U. s. Bureau of Edu- cation, was a southbound passnger on the S.S Jefferson Saturday morn ing for his headquarters at Seattle. Mir. Lopp has spent the past month on a trip of inspection of the gov ernment schools of the west coast district and vent to Juneau last week to confer with Supt. c. W. Wordsworth.
 MT. Lopp said the Natives of the west coast district are optimistic for a successful fishing season this year. They are making steady progress in the development of their industries and villages, and at present are de- voting much time in the schools to sports as we'll as scholastic activities.
 While the Jefferson was in port. MT. Lopp entered into negotiations with W. L. Gross for the purchase of Robbie, MT. Gross's thoroughbred collie, which Mir. Lopp wishes to send up north for service with the reindeer herds. It is probable that the sale will be made.

FOX RAIsERs TO OVERCOME
 P0ACHING BY LEGISLATION
Bill Will Be Introduced in the Next Legislature Requiring That All Blue Fox Skins Be Registered and Stamped Before Being Offered for Sale.

Dr. R. c. Mathis of Petersburg, was recent visitor to Seattle, and while in the city called on the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce and dis cussed the future of the fur farming industry in Alaska and some of the undertakings of the Blue Fox As- sociations of Alaska, which associa- tions have been recently organized.
 We are more than biased with the activity indicated at this early date. Proper steps are being taken to deal with the poaching menace in the territory. Dr. Mathis advises that the associations are bringing a bill before the Territorial legislature re- quiring that all blue fox skins be registered and stamped before being offered for sale. Such measure will practically overcome poaching, and it is high time, as there has been too much of this going on. Much may be accomplished along these lines and we are glad to see the co-opera tion manifest in these matters of in- interest to the districts. The intelh- gent direction of the association will mean "a great deal to the fur farmer of Alaska, and the opening of a greater future, which is her just Farmer Magazine.

Basketball Team Leaves for Seattle
 On Northwestern

The Wrangell High School Basket ball team, under the supervision of Superintendent W. L. Gross will leave on the S.S. Northwestern for a series of games on Puget Sound. The boys are very glad, of course, to have an opportunity to play teams of Seattle and other cities. How ever, basketball is not the sole object of the journey. It is to be an educa- tional trip, and basketball will be the means by which the trip will be financed. 2
 Superintendent Gross has been working on the plan for several weeks. and with the cooperation of Charles D. Garfield, secretary of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, a plan has been worked out whereby the trip will practically pay for itself. MT. Gross already has positive assurance that the Wrangell boys will have oppor tunity to play all the games that they will have time for during their stay.
 On March l, 2. and 8, there will be basketball tournament in Se- attle of teams from all over the State of Washington, and also one or two teams from the State of Idaho. Wrangell will not be in the tourna- ment, buOt will be of great interest and benefit to the boys to witness the games as played by the teams Outside.
 Some of the educational phases of the trip will be day in the courts; day looking in on the Washington State legislature at Olympia. Among the places and institutions that will be visited for educational purposes are the following: Navy Yards, Bremerton; Post-Intelligencer; Red Shield Creamery, Fischer Milling Co.,, University of Washington, Se- attle Public Library, Commercial College, Police Department.

Complications in Fur Regulations
 Regarding Foxes
Sitka People Are Now Won dering When Is a Fox The Nee0 01 Constructive Legislation on lhlS Sue- Ject Very Apparent.

Instead of closing it's doors against poaohers, as was intended by the | regulations from the Us. BIoiogical Survey allowing no one to trap blue foxes save licensed FOX farmers or theIr agents, II has been thrown much wider open and premium on poachlng offered, according to all opInlon ol Il. b. Stabler, U. 5. as slstant district attorney, who hoIds that a live fox may be trapped and become the property Of the trapper, unless ownership can be proved. he case hinges upon the fact that liar old Bailey and Philips caught a i've FOX in their traps and reported it to Commissioner DeArmond, and the Iatter Ill turn communicated wIth l.. r. Walker ot the Biological Survey, who secured an opinion from the district attorneys ot1ice.
 Bailey on returning to his traps, after correspondence had been open ed up, found in the traps another blue fox which was dead. According to the legal opinion he is guilty of a crime in trapping fox that is dead but is not guilty of trapping the live fox. Again, if the fox had not died in his traps he would not be guilty. And that's that!
 Stabler in his opinion, which cov- CTS four typewriter pages and re- views acts relating to estrays, says:
 Section of said act of April 2l, 1910, does not make it unlawful to take foxes alive. The act provides that no person shall KILL-any other fur-bearing animal (which in cludes foxes)-in Alaska Therefore in answer to the warden's query, it is my opinion that Harold Bailey is not guilty of any violation of the Act except and unless he KILLS the live fur fox which he has captured alive"
 Further along, after reviewing the law of estrays, he says: Tn my opinion, the government, through its agents and officers, cannot dis possess Harold Bailey of the live blue fox now in his possession" Again he says that s''the owners right to fox regarding its natural liberty with no intention of return ing to it's owner, and which Is not promptly possessed, or cannot be identified, ceases, and becomes the property of the person thereafter re- claiming it; and in the absence of any person retaining such animal, it becomes a wild land fur-bearing animal"
 Commissioner DeArmond believes that all this shows the necessity of having a game warden stationed at Sitka as a protection for the legal trappers and menace to the pOach- CTS The warden would know where traps were set out, what kind' of traps were used and, MT. DeArmond says, could get the active coopera tion of other officers and govern ment boats.
 Others see complications that have arisen over the regulations, the necessity of marking foxes. The need of constructive lgislation on this subject is also very apparent Sitka Tribune.
