Rev. Waggoner Says Gamers
Confident = Williamson
Tells of Fox Raising.

Packers throughout Southeastern
Alaska are optimistic as to the sal
mon pack this year and expect a
material increase over last year. the
Chamber of Commerce was told to-
day by Rev David Waggoner, super
intendent of Presbyterian Missions.
He and F. w. Williamson, one of the
leading silver fox growers of the
Territory, were the principal speak
ers at today's meeting Of the Cham
ber.
A feature of the meeting was the
singing of Miss Hildur Lindgren, the
Swedish Nightingale" Miss Lind
gren sang two solos, accompanied
on the piano by Miss Rae Stevens,
which were enthusiastically received.
Alaska Foxes Best
Silver foxes grown in Alaska bring
the highest prices quoted for these
animals, Mr. Williamson said. Buy
ers quotations offer from 5000 to
$500 for Alaska and British Colum-
for others.
Despite the fact there have been
some failures, he said, the breeding
and raising of silver foxes is le-
gitimate business. Ii does not pay
100 per cent, he added nor did his
own enterprise claim to do so, but
it was paying from 80 to 40 per cent
on the invested capital.
At present the industry is largely
confined to the raising and selling
of animals for breeding purposes.
This has made it possible for ranches
in the states to operate profitably.
The time is coming in his opinion,
when it will be transformed and
pelting will be the main source of
revenue. When this happens, he
was confident that Alaskan growers
could continue to operate at an at
tractice profit while most of those
in the states would lose out
Reviews Own Operations
Mr.. Williamson briefly reviewed
his own operations. He said he had
raised about 500 pups without q
single case of sickness. All the ami
mails were healthy and the rate OF
increase was much higher than in
the states.
He said the greatest need was for
education of the men engaged in the
industry to realization of what
constituted a good fox. Too many
of them do not know the kind oi
animal commands the highest prices
and is wanted by buyers. 1t was
necessary to raise the average stand
ard of animals now raised if the
industry is to reach it's maximum
capacity. He said that Alaskan busi
ness men could aid in this work OF
education.
