PERRY POINT
EASTERN SHORE MUSKRAT
INDUSTRY

The muskrat industry OF five
counties in Maryland which yielded
$77S,750 last year, will not produce
return of one-tenth that figure for
the present season, E. Lee Lee
Compile, State Game Warden, pre-
diets. He declared the 1926 season
the dullest in years.
The scarcity, which Mr.. LeCompte
attributed to the severe drought OF
last summer, is reflected in the price
of pelts, which was 81 at the opening
of the season and is expected to ad-
vance. Throughout last year the
highest price recorded was $3.50.
The counties which comprise the
bulk of the State industry are Dor
chester, Wicomico, Somerset. Wor-
cester and Talbot.

DUDE RANCHES BIG ASSET.


Arizona dude ranches are des
tined to become as important
attraction for tourists to the
state as the Apache trail, Grand
canyon or any of the natural
scenic wonders of the section.
w. 81. Simpson, assistant gen.
eral passenger agent of the Santa
Fe Railway company, declared
recently.

pher Of San Francisco, while
securing pictures, both moving
and still, to be used in connection
with the company's advertising
for the coming year.
On this trip Mr.. Simpson has
made q special study Of the dude
ranch situation with the inten
tion of devoting an entire sec
tion of the Santa Fe folder for
the coming season to the various
dude ranches in the state. While
1T the four ranches near Wick
enburg he and his photographer
made q number of pictures both
for the screen and folder adver
tising.
Arizona should be alert to
the fact that the dude ranch
business is in reality q new in
dustry right at its door," he said.
The tourist crop is as real an
assest as cotton. grapefruit and
lettuce, aud the appeal that these
ranches have to eastern people
is remarkable. The dude ranches
in Montana and Wyoming have
been valuable to those states
and they will proveo also in Ari
zona. Central and Southern Ari
zona is as great cattle country
As Wyoming and it has the ad
vantage Of Q matchless winter
climate"

business in Arizona already is
