THE STIKINE
(Contributed)

It is interesting to compare com ments made by tourists after they have passed through new territor- ies. Some will say, q enjoyed the trip but, really, I would not care to take it again." How different is the testimony of those who have taken the Stikine river trip!
 This was the writer's fourth Yis- it, and it seemed more wonderful than ever. Every change of scene delight, and the writer is perhaps more anxious to take the fifth than he was to take the first one.
 There were with him, six of the boys connected with St. Philips church. It takes considerable to arouse Alaskan boys. They see wonderful scenery every day and so when their eyes open to scenes which cause them to exclaim, Great" Wonderfully Some scenery" it certainly must be of great value. No matter how tired they were, they were up when the boat started so that nothing could escape them
 The Tahltan lava beds are of very recent geographical orlgln, the most recent of any in North America, and so one gets a little view of the world in the making. There are some stratified rocks so bent and twisted that in a very few feet, they lay in three or four different directions. One of the boys found sample of mica in the making. Trap rocks were numer- ous. Lava beds were a thousand feet deep.
 So the trip is wonderful, both from a scenic and a scientific standpoint.
 Are not the steamship companies overlooking a wonderful source of revenue when they do not urge their tourists to take this trip?

ANNOUNCEMENT

A class of beginners in piano is now being organized and it will be greatly to the advantage of any one wishing to study to enroll at the beginning of the course. Tue pupils will study together in class, meeting several times a week in stead of taking a private lesson once a week Class work in piano is becoming very popular in num- Der of cities in the States as it has many advantages over private lessons, namely, lower cost, more time with the teacher and greater interest on the part of the pupil.
 My study of class methods in piano includes Miss Nash's course (adopted in Los Angeles schools,) Mrs. Bevitt's (used in Oakland, Se- attle, Tacoma, etc., and the com plete course of class work as de- veloped in the Faulten Pianoforte School, Boston, Mass.
 I shall be glad to explain the work in detail to anyone inter ested.

The news that Shumacher Bay had been chosen as the sight for the new Native Industrial School must have seemed too good to be true in some quarters as several local citizens have inquired of the Sentinel as to the authenticity of the press reports announcing the decision of the Commissioner of Education in favor of Shumacher Bay.
 The Sentinel has no hesitancy in for the authenticity of che news. In addition to the press report a cable was received by w. D. Grant from Delegate Dan Suth- erland. Later two more cablegrams conveying the same news were re- ceived by local citizens from of ficial sources.

Some Sidelights On Blue Fox Farming
 Southeast Alaska

J. h. Hadland, proprietor of the Alaska Blue FOX Company, operat- tug on SkIII, Meauow anu Conclu- sloh Islands, was in town the latter part oI the week. MT. Hadland's lsIaAds lie midway between Peters burg and WrangelI. lie will extend hls operations soon by taking over ms fathers business on Monte Carlo island.
 beglnnlng five years ago with five pairs of wild foxes MT. Had land has developed his business un- LII he IS widely known as one of the most successful tox farmers in this district.
 While he began in reality with 10 pairs of foxes, that number did not last long as ten pairs swan away the first night. The five pairs remaining produced 62 pups the first year. The second year nine pairs produced 91 pups; the third year Il pairs produced 1O3 pups and the fourth year 16 pairs pro- duced 1l6 pups. Since he has been Ill business he has lost but foxes from sickness.
 He operates by rotation, breed ing on one island and pelting on another. The young foxes are raised on separate islands from the old ones.
 When the puppies are from three to four weeks old, Mir. Hadland takes them from their mothers on the breeding island and puts them m pens on Skiff island where he has his home. The diet of the fox babies is carefully followed out. Beginning with an evaporated milk formula as a base food, vegetables and cooked fish are introduced and the little fellows gradually weaned until at the age of two months, they are on practically the same balanced rations as the old foxes. Twenty five per cent of the food for the foxes is raised in the gar den on Skiff island.
 Great care is taken by MT. Had land in the construction of the pens. To prevent foot diseases the floors are grayeled over the netting and matted to a depth of six inches with grass or straw. Strict sanita- tion is maintained in the matter of food and water.
 When the puppies are about three months old which is around the fifteenth of August. they are taken from the pens and put on an island by themselves. The next winter after selling off breeding stock the entire island is pelted then left to renew itself through the winter and the next summer. By the fifteenth of August it is in prime shape to receive the next batch of young foxes.
 The breeders are renewed every three years. Since the second year all the Hadland breeders have been tame which is considered to be a great advantage.
 MT. Hadland advocates delivery of foxes by the fifteenth of Au- gust. At that time they are young enough to adjust themselves to their new home. But after they are older they get homesick when moved and their impulse is to swim back at once.
 Despite the problems confront ing the farmer, MT. Hadland be- lieves unreservedly that the blue fox business in this district offers possibilities on the money invested far above the average investment.
