successful One near Kalispe'l is an
example. Started from small Begin
ning few years ago, the ranch now
not only breeds and raises silver foxes
but also takes fox pups from Alaska
breeders for finishing off as the Mon
tana climate is known to produce the
finest quality fur. Another is said to
be the largest muskrat farm under
fence in the United States. Five acres
are fenced near Swan Lake in Lake
county and more than 100 experiment
tai pens have been constructed. 1t is
expected within a short time that the
ranch will produce 10000 to 10000
pelts annually. A farm in Yellow
stone county raises skunks, otter, ra-
coon possum, mink and muskrat. An
account Of this farm says, Eur
shipped from this section of the coun-
try command a larger price as rule
than those from other states, china
tic conditions being especially good
for production of high quality fur"
A farm in Mineral county has do
mesticated lynx and one in Missoula
county now has about 600 foxes. A
ranch in Cascade county has purchas
ed 1000 pair Of muskrats while one
north Of Corvallis in the Bitter Root
raises Karakul sheep, the bearers Of
luxurious Persian lamb fur which
commands the highest prices for trim
ming wearing apparel besides black
foxes, skunk, raccoon and muskrat.
In recognition Of the fur farming
industry an effort will be made this
year at the Montana State fair to
have an exhibit Of all animals now
being successfully raised in the state
for their fur values.
Another yardstick by which the i'm
portance Of the fur industry in Mon
ANA may be measured comes from the
'ecords Of license fees paid to the
state fish and game department, the
industry contributing about S31 600
turing the past year. More than
thousand trappers licenses were issued
Yl0,270 in revenue to the de-
'artment. A total of 1901 shipping

ats to trap beaver.

BAD LIGHTS Is CAUSE
OF MANY CAR CRASHES

Bismarck, August 20.-Many Of the
recent automobile accidents in this
state are due to the entirely improper
lighting of automobiles-the entire
absence Of lights, lights that are too
faint, not properly focused, or too
glazing and dazzling head lamps, ac-
cording to officials of the North Da-
kota safety council and the state
highway commission, who have been
investigating reports of accidents.
The "Rules of the Road" act
adopted by the last legislative as
sembly, requires that every car must
have two lights in front and red
light in the rear. The head lamps
must throw "a light beam so that q
person can be distinguished 200 feet
from the car and must not be of 9
glazing or dazzling nature. A prop
er headlight, it is explained, casts {
beam of light not more than AZ inches
above the ground at a distance of II
feet ahead of the car. These provi
sions, it is declared, are often violat
ed by night drivers, the most fire
quent violation being in lights tina
are NoO OliAi VI OoO SAdAAiS.
Another menace to night drivin,
is the car with single light. I
driver approaching from the opposit
direction has no way of knowing
which of the two lamps is lighted.
, The provisions of the law relativ
/ to driving cars with no lights, singl
light or a glazing light, must be er
t forced by the sheriffs and police Of
E ficers as there is no state agency wit
t police powers to make this law e
: fective. A campaign against improl
e er car lighting would be helpful in r
e ducing car accidents an officials
: the department mentioned express Il
:, hope that peace officers viii take
a upon themselves to enforce these Sc
= tions as a measure of public safet
d, Something, they declare, must be do
A. to make night driving safer and tn
