i. S. GIRL SUCCEEDS AS
FUR TRADER IN SIBERIA
Marie Kelly Plans Coup Which
she Learned From Morgan.

Seattle. Wash-Once librarian for
J.. Pierpont Morgan Miss Marie Kelly
is IA a land where books are unknown
once wearing summer furs on Fifth
avenue, she now controls q OF the
largest fur trading posts IN Siberia,
making more than $4,000 profit from
her enterprise last year.
Not content with waiting around for
trappers to bring IA furs, Miss Kelly
runs a trading store at Anadir, OWNS
a steamer on the river Of the same
name, operates a coal mine to produce
fuel for local needs, employs three
American prospectors Out in the hills
seeking gold, on Sunday teaches and
breaches, and acts as postmaster for
the American colony In eastern Asia.
Fur traders returning here from 81
IBERIA report that Miss Kelly has no
desire to leave the isolated settlement
until her mining experts have located
the gold mine of her dreams. That the
gold lis there is certain, for A. M
Smith exhibited a handful of coarse
nuggets which he washed from the
gravel of the Anadir.
Located in the timbered region
wherein is found the sable, Miss Kelly
last winter was able to control the
supply of this fur for d large terri
tory. The catch of Arctic fox was
good, and the trappers brought their
skins 100 miles out Of their way in
order to trade with the pale American
princess.
According to fur dealers, it is known
that Miss Kelly is planning a coup
which she learned from her former en-
ployer. Anticipating a season Of In
creased trapping in the weA-watered
and heavily wooded region around An
adir, she has acquired a large amount
of cash, with which she intends to buy
up an immense amount Of fur, es-
pecia4ly of one or two kinds, then In
wade the New York market. With an
immense credit certain, she will, 1t is
related here by traders, try to make
a corner Of her fayorite variety of
fur, and then sell at a big auction of
her own.
Bolshevik officials respect Miss Kelly
and the soviet ambassadors, trying to
establish a stable government, would
welcome other such intrepid, self-pos-
sessed American women in that region
as a fitting example for their own
women folks to emulate.

Effects of Late Empress
Bring $4,000 at Auction

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of England's cid

almost fearful eyes when the once
priceless effects of the late Empress
Eugene Of France were sold under the
hammer at ridiculously small prices,
but still beyond their impoverished
purses. The goods sold were princi-

pefs, gowns, laces and furs. /,
Most Of She stuff was bought by
dealers, although some Of the former
empress servants ana followers were
able to buy small articles.

u. S. HUNTERS PAY HIGH
RENT FOR SCOTCH HOMES
Stately Houses in Demand as
Grouse Season Opens.

London.-HundTeds OF thousands Of
acres Of Scottish moons and scores
Of the o stately Scottish homes
have been rented at fabulous prices by
wealthy Americans and B~ritishers for
the forthcoming grouse shooting sea-
son, in which King George VIII par
ticipate.
Bernard Baruch and g. II. Nlackay
Of New York are among the wealthy
Americans who have rented estates
and are entertaining large house par
ties for the season. Bernard Baruch
has rented the magnificent Fetteresso,
In County Kincardine, while Mackay
has taken Castle Grant, with 10000
acres OF broad Scottish moors.
They have taken over these famous
old houses complete for two or three
months, with all their stats and fur
niture, lock, stock and barrel.
Many members of parliament have
also taken "shootings" and agents re-
port that nearly all the best estates
have been taken at good rents.
Prices for the season are higher
than last year, according to the agents.
They attribute this to the high cost
Of labor and upkeep during the empty
season. Rents are being mainly
based at the rate of IS per brace Of
grouse and $3.50 a stag, with the cost
Of the house in addition.
Some OF the smaller "shootings" can
be had FOR $500 a month, but, as a
whole, Scotland is divided into large
estates and the cost Of these runs into
something over Ave figures.
This is likely to. be a good season
for game, gamekeepers report. The
breeding season has been good and
reports from all parts Indicate that
there are plenty of ~pheasants, black
game and snipe.
-Four large estates are still with
out shooting season tenants, among
Them being the famous Thurso castle,
for which $4,000 is being asked. King
George has often stayed at Tburso
for the season and has made some Of
his most famous bags there.
