Perry A. Cole, inspector for the National American Fox Breeders as sociation and owner of very suc- cessful silver black fox farm at Alder Creek, New York, convinced that Alaska offers unexcelled opportu mites for the develoment of the fur industry, has decided to engage in fur farming in the Territory on Q large scale and has made application for a tract of $40 acres on the Kusil- of river. It is the intention of MT. Cole to start work on his new enter prise early next spring. The tract embraces . chain six lakes, skirted by a stand of spruce timber and 1t is his plan to enclose the entire sec- ton. Muskrats, minks, marten, bea- yer, silver black and Arctic foxes and perhaps blue foxes will be raised. MT. Cole states that the launching of his enterprise will mean material increase in the population of the settlement, since he will bring lat least five new families into the district to take up homesteads. Mir. Coles son, Milton, is already located there and comfortably settled for the winter.

As you will see that they approved the Palmer plan on account of ster- age tanks located in two different points. but as they do not look at these matters at an economic stand point for city, they desire quantity and pressure. the economic part has to be determined by the city itself.

 From fire protection standpoint, this is much more desirable than hay ing only portion of il above the top of the present tank Il will allow of higher pressure throughout the en- tire system and should permit of more economic design of the piping system

Plan Sent te Palmer

Then this plan was sent to Mir Pal mer by council committee so that he could make a comparison and submit another that would come nearer com plying with the requirements that We were so consistently fighting for
 quantity and pressure. We would not agree Co cut down for any eonsidera- tion. Finally Mr Palmer's second plan was submitted which was the same layout as the fist with the sx- ceuti8n of larger and higher tanks giving about 2.20O.00O gallons ca pacfty and in order to get higher pres sure the plan called for q tank ninety feet high on Oak Hill in addition to one on Bates hill about seventy feet high. This to our mind was bring ing the storage proposition from bad I'd worse. We did not fall in very well with the idea of having q tank on Oak hill ninety feet high. So af- ter due deliberation and comparisons of different plans at joint meeting If the council committee and the com rnissioners it was agreed by the ma ioritv of the council committee that Mir. Symonds' plan was the best If we were to adopt a one hundred thousand dollar plan We then be- lieved that the matter of steel tanks was very well settled fl that was the hest we could have. A couple of weeks after that. we were invited to another meeting by the council com ,nittee which Mfr. Sharpe and Mr.
 Gilman attended and Mir Palmer was sIso presept. At that time, no con sideration whatever was given any qfher plan but Mir. Palmer's second

 We have delayed replying to your letter of the 18th SO as Co give study 10 the propositions for improvement Co your system as shown on a plan of Henry A Symonds, dated Janu- ary T, 1926.
 Two of the most serious deficiencies m your water system are the small storage provided and the inadequate arterial mains.

Inviting birds to come around an

But Mister Ground Hog selflshly got

And said, II want the spotlight, even

AS If the fow'rs were eager to come

that paper, "the genius of Lee as a

and praise of the world to obscure
the beacon light of lofty ideals that
guided his way through life and into

adds it's comment that when one
seeks to determine the explanation of
Lees greatness, he finds it. not in his
soldierly and admirable qualities as a
military leader, but rather in those
fundamentals of character which are

Stage Cleaning.

Matters are moving toward the es-
adjustment In New York of stage
censorship outside of the law, to effect
a cleaning of the metropolitan the
aters of the pernicious dramatic pabu-
lum served to the public. At a meet
ing yesterday of producers, managers,
actors and playwrights plan was
agreed upon for the regulation Of the
theater without legal censorship. 1t
will be laid before the city officials for
discussion, and if 1t is acceptable to
the district attorney and the munich
pal administration it will be at once
worked out in detail and adopted in
the hope of averting legislative action.
One of the best known and most
highly respected members of the the
atrical profession, Winthrop Ames,
whose ideals have always been high
and whose productions have been uni.
formly free from Objectionable fea-
lures, has been placed at the head of
this organization-an act which
creates confidence in the public mind
that a sincere effort will be made to
clean the stage of its present filth
1t is recognized, however, that a
weakness of the voluntary censorship
plan is that Independent producers
remain free to violate the edicts OF
such a censorship and to fight in the
courts for their rights of production.
Certain producers have refrained from
joining this present movement. They
are the ones whose stage offerings
are most obnoxious. The question
remains whether any voluntary cen
sorship plan can effect the necessary
house cleaning.
1t is, however, q wholesome sign
that the majority of the theatrical
producers, backed by a strong array
of leading actors and playwrights, are
enlisted in this effort to purge the
theater. Public taste is not debased
to the point of exclusively demanding
lbidinous spectacles and dramas.
Notable successes are constantly
scored by clean plays, well constructed
and well acted. They succeed even
