FOUR HUNDRED
 BLUE FOXES ON
 SATHER RANCH
CONSIDERED ONE OF THE LARG- EST BLUE FOX RANCHES
 IN THE TERRITORY
NUKA ISLAND FOX FARM
One Hundred Foxes Will Be Killed this Fali-Have Killed But
 Thirty-Five to Date

One of the largest fox raising in- dustries in the Territory, unbeknown to many residents of Seward, lies but a few miles from this port, that of MT. and Mrs. Pete Sather at Nuka Island. It is estimated that there are over 400 blue foxes on the island. During the four and a half years the owners have been on the ranch but 30 have been killed, but, according to MT. Sather it is planned to kill at least 100 foxes this year. The skins bringing an average price of S9O per skin in London will make a neat lit tie bankroll.
 Charles Dustin, former master me- chanic of the Copper River & North western Railroad at Cordova, who un- til recently was employed at port en- gineer by the Alaska Steamship Co.,. but is now employed by large dredg- ing concern at Nome, was former partner in the ranch, but disposed of his interest this year.
 Fine Equipment on the Island
 The island is complete, probably one of the most modern of it's kind for everything for the convenience of the owners and the foxes has been constructed. A two-story, three-room house, nicely furnished, is MT. and Mrs. Sather's castle. There is a lit tie warehouse close to the wharf and a 150-foot float; a cook house where the fox feed is made; two fish houses;

PHOTOGRAPHS OF
 COLUMBIA GLACIER
 TAKEN, ALASKA SHOP
OTTO SCHALLERER RETURNS FROM SEA VOYAGE IN SMALL
 CRAFT WITH VIEWS

Something new in the way of gla- cier photographs were taken last week by o. c. Schallerer, of the AL aska Shop, during his trip to the beautiful Columbia glacier. Six views, never before taken, revealing the magnificent and tremendously sized, blue colored glacier, were obtained by MT. Schallerer, and will be put on exhibition at the popular store this week. One of the photographs, If large size, was finished in the dark room yesterday and is certainly a splendid bit of work of the pho tographer's art. In gleaming bril- fancy the majestic glacier stands out against background of trees and summer foliage, remarkable in it's detail.
 Other pictures of Prince William Sound, in which are included sunset scenes, were also taken by the ex- pert photographer. The trip from Seward to the g4,rer required two days in sZnl :! power dory For six days MT. Schal!rrer and Charles Clegg, who accompanied Jim on the trip, endeavored to wait the rain and bad weather out, wi,n one days sue cess at which tine all of the photos were shot. A little loEsar say would have been made but the grub sack began to get little thin around the edges so the two day trip back to town was started.

one breeding corral; and 13 feed houses scattered about the island.
 There is also a chicken yard with about 50 chickens scratching about. The truck garden near the dwelling house is planted to potatoes and oth- CT truck, including strawberries.
 Operates Three Boats
 MT. Sather owns and operates three boats from Seward to Nuka Bay, which is four miles from his island. The island itself is nine miles long by five miles wide. These boats are the Rolfe I, Rolfe II, and the Nuka. The Rolfe I is 34 feet long and pow cred with 16 horse power Standard marine engine; Rolfe II is 34 feet in length and is powered with a five horsepower Atlas; the gas boat Nuka is 26 feet long and has six horse power Corliss marine engine. Capt. John Smith is skipper of the Rolfe II, while MT. Sather himself operates the Rolfe I.
 At least one round trip a week is made to Nuka Bay from this port by one of the above named boats, sometimes more often. The Rolfe I left port yesterday morning for the quartz camp and will return the lat ter part of the week A large quan- tity of general freight was carried down yesterday on the craft. With respect to fuel on the fox island and for the cook stoves on board the gas boats, when the coal bin runs down bit, Capt. Sather or Smith, run over to Cook Inlet, just a few hours run from Nuka Bay, where they pick up any number of tons of Ignite coal from the beach.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Price

stock market were slightly higher
in the early trading today. United
States Steel assumed an imposing
position In the forward movement,
but it was we'll supported by the
leading industrial and motor shares

prices of some of the specialties

Interest centered today in the
forthcoming quarterly statement OF
the steel corporation, TO be pub
lished this afternoon, and the bud
get speech Of the British chancellor
which is expected to outline the

The steel corporation is expected

NATIONAL BANKS
IDEAL FOR
TRUSTS
President White Outlines Ad-
vantage of Service as
Fiduciaries
BY RICHARD HATTON.

That the first privilege granted
any national bank to perform fidu-
ciary services under powers con.
Serred by the Federal reserve act,
should be given to the National
Metropolitan Bank, Of this city, is
particularly fitting in view Of the
long and constructive history OF
this Washington financial institu-
tion.
Speaking today Of the work of
trust departments of national banks
and trust companies. and the func-
tions which they perform as execu-
tors. trustees. guardians. etc., Presi-
dent George w. White, of the Ma
tional Metropolitan Bank, said:
THE public is gradually acluir-
ing the knowledge that trust COM
panies perform a function and a
duty to the people that is far safer
and wider than that OF individuals,
in fiduciarY capacities.
Under the Federal reserve act
fiduciary powers, such as trustees
for estates, individuals, partnerships.
and corporations, executor, admini.
strator, registrar of stocks and
bonds, guardian, assignee, receiver,
committee Of the estates OF lunatics,
were granted TO national banks, who
have now adopted this additional
service to their customers, AMI many
Of them have made it a most i'm
portant part of their banking IA
eilities. The national bank officers
and directors have an extremely
wide experience in mercantile af-
lars and credit il formation, ILi!c
are able to keenly and quickly judge
the merits of investments.
The first privilege granted under
the Federal reserve act for any ma
tional bank to perform these fiduci.
ary powers was granted by the F'.,d.
eral Reserve Board to the National
Metropolitan Bank of Washington.
February 25. 1915, and since that
Date this institution has been oper-
ating trust department, handling
the estates entrusted to it's care.
1t must be q sense of security
and satisfaction to anyone having
made his will to know that the
trust department of national
bank or trust company has been
named as executor or trustee, or
Ooth, under the viii. While the
corporation is bound by legal rules
and requirements, the officers
nevertheless do carefully consider
the urgent needs OF those left be-
hind. and take, I'm many cases, an
extremely personal interest in the
affairs Of the estate and those who
are. to become the beneficiaries
under the distribution, so that
while 1t 10 said a corporation has
no SOUL 1t is frequently proved
otherwise, and many OF the ones
left behind feel freer to tell their
needs and wants to an official
than to one who might be closely
associated with the family, but not
necessarily on friendly terms.
The corporation acting as execu.
tor or trustee has perpetual life,
and q trust can be guarded for
many more years than were an
individual named. It frequently
happened that, after a trust de-
partment has handled the estate
Of the deceased, some Of the heirs
VIII Immediately make their wills,
naming the trust department to
look after their estate, showing
that the services are appreciated
and intelligently handled"
