and Back to LakehurSt

Following a course along the
water the giant airship Shenandoah,
which left Lakehurst at 1920 o'clock
standard time, passed to the east of
this city at $50 o'clock daylight saw
Ing time. The airship was flying
low and seemed to be on the other
side of Staten Island. probably fol-
lowing the Narrows into New York
bay and the Hudson river. Many
people along the waterfront saw the
ship as it passed in the distance.
LAKEHuRsT. June s--The dirigi-
BILE Shenandoah was cut loose from
her mooring mast at 1920 a. m.
standard time and Immediately was
headed towards Newark on her trip
to Albany. the Canadian border and
Central New York and Pennsylvania
towns.
The dirigible is in charge of Com
mander Zachary Lansdowne. and for
the first long cruise in her history
the personnel does not include Cap
tain Anton Heinen, Zeppelin expert,
who was in charge of the ships con-
struction and who piloted the ship in
her wild flight of January 16, when
high winds tore the craft loose from
her mooring mast and had her at
their mercy.
Captain Heinen remained at the
station, 1t was said, due to the con-
yiction that the American crew had
become sufficiently experienced to
handle the cruiser under all difficult
ties.

G. 0. P. TARIFF LAW
ASSAllED BY WALSH
Massachusetts Senator Says Ford
-McCumber Act Benefits
Only Big Business.
SEES WORKERS DISSATISFIED
Cost of Living Rising Steadily
Under Schedules, He Finds.

Assailing the Fordney- -McCumber
tariff law. Senator Walsh. democrat,
Massachusetts, declared yesterday in the
Senate that high protective tariff
lis system that exists and thinks
only through intriguing, wire-pulling,
sslf-seeking combinations Of politi-
clans making and unmaking public
officials" ...
l''Your tariff bill is clearly of
Questionable virtue the senator
said. turning to the republican side,
land the experience of it's first year
onstrated that it is an instrument
calculated to promote the economic
freedom, welfare and happiness of
the American people.
The reaction against unmitigated
tariff protection springs from dissat-
tsfaction and distrust on the part of
the people concerning the actual
workings Of that system. 1t is a
system. that In operation. is causing
contempt for, and suspicion of, gov
ernment.
The Massachusetts, senator cited
ohcial government reports to support
his argument that since the Fordney-
McCumber measure became a law
the cost of living has steadily in
creased without an offsetting increase
OF wages to workers generally He
also asserted that under the opera
tlon OF the law the big industrial,
steam and electric railway corpora
tions have been steadily increasing
their dividends.
THAT our republican friends mean
70 argue when they speak of the
benefits of the Fordney-
tariff law" the senator said. "is
really this: That it is beneficial
to the country because it is prof.
table to big business, as the dividend
Etatistics show. If republican can
be expected to be frank on the tariff
issue. he must admit that the figures
show this law has not worked to
the benefit of the farmers, wage
earners, the salaried class. the small
business group, or the great consum-
ing public"

of any immediate success with this venture however. The beginning of the industry may be said to have started with the first importation to North Semidii. Little headway was made in the industry until 191O-1914 during which period considerable growth occurred, especially in the Inlet and Prince William Sound area as we'll as to the Westward from the Shumagin Islands to the more remote islands of the Aleutian chain.
 From 1914 to date, hte expansion of the industry has been so rapid as to practically cover all of the more desirable and accessible islands, from the end of the Aleutian chain along the entire southern coast of Alaska to Seattle. Washington.
 With all this expansion of the in- dustry, raising from the production of few hundred skins at the best, to thousands of pelts taken annually, the supply has not kept pace with the rapidly deminishing supply of wild fur, and the increased demand for fur as an article of wearing ap- parel. AS far as the industry is con- cerned at the present time, it may be said to be in it's infancy, only within the last three years have the possibilities of raising Blue fox in pens been actually undertaken, on any considerable scale, and only within the present year may the pen raising of Blues be said to have gotten it's start. This year ship ments of Blu eBreeding stock have be en made to Canada, Norway, Ger many and practically all of tEe States in which fur can be gro -a. Nor is this undue, or abnor- nal growth of the industry for it is only now that the Superiority of the Blue fox, over all other fur animals, is becoming generally known. It is

The Beginning of the
 Blue Fox Industry
(Blue Fox Magazine.)

Thru the kindness of MT. w. J. Erskine. of Kodiak, the secretary has recently had the opportunity of go- ing over a copy of the records Of the old Semidii Blue Fox Propagat- ing Company, as published in the Kodiak Fox Farm report, addressed to the secretary of commerce in 1915. This report is an exhaustive one GOV cring the Fox raising industry In Southwestern Alaska at that time.
 The Semidii Propagating Company records of that time show that the company sold 5,1O1 blue belts, 1890 to 1912, and 400 blue fox for breeding stock, during the same period.
 The belts coming principally from Cherikoff and North Semidii Islands. It will be remembered that little or no feeding was done in those days, that a caretaker's principal duties were those of watching the island and catching the foxes in steel traps and preparing the skins for shipment.
 It appears that certain members ot the Semidii Propagating company started the commercial production ot Blue foxes in 1885 by placing ten pairs of Blues on North Semidii These foxes having been obtained fno,,, +bo Dyib;1nf Tc1apdc Small importations were made from the same source from time to time during the next fifteen years. Shortly after the first importation to the Semidi1 Islands two or three pairs were ob tained from Attu and placed on one of the Shumagin Islands by one of the early trading post merchants at Unga There is TO available record

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Selection of Charles H. March of Minnesota, as secretary of agriculture, was urged by Gov. J. A. O'Preus of that state at a conference with President Coolidge.
 The name of March was on the list presented by various farmers organi- zations before the president decided on the promotion of Assistant Secre- tary Gore to be head of the depart ment until next March 4, when he will become governor of West Virginia.
 With this vacancy in the cabinet a certainty, many names are being laid before MT. Coolidge Those mentioned include Thomas J. Campbell of Mon- tana, sometimes described as the largest "dry" farmer in the world.

TIRED PoSTMAN TOOK
 LETTERS HOME KEPT THEM

BELFAST, Ireland, Dec. 23.-One thousand undelivered letters were found in the home of Thomas T. Kea- dy, Belfast postman, who died two years ago when the house was search ed by the police.
 The find included letters from all parts of the world, including regis tered packets. Some of the letters were dated ten years ago, and were found intact hidden under bed and in parts of the house.
 The police surmise that Ready, whenever he felt tired, kept the let ters instead of delivering them.
