HUGE FUR FARM
 WESTWARD ISLES,
 LONC AND MARMOT
ONE THOUSAND PAIRS OF MUSKRATS INITIAL STOCK
 ON LONG ISLAND

KODIAK, June Is. Special to the Gateway)-A new deal is promised for the fur farming in dustry in Alaska with the coming of muskrats in addition to blue of the Alaska Fur Corporation which proposes to raise thousands fox, mink and raccoon. The com pany has taken over Long Island and Marmot Island, both ad- joining Kodiak and is bringing all the latest equipment including cold storage facilities as we'll as ditch-digging tractors to enlarge the muSkrat ponds. A. w. Bennett, who brought the Northwest Fur Company, Montana to eneviable position of being the largest en- closed "rat" ranch in the world, is heading the new organization and the New York packers are further insured by the presence of R. KaSer and F. Kaser, brothers who learned the muskrat game on a Montana ranch.
 Over $1OO,OO0 is involved in the deal for the transfer of the leases and the necessary stocking.
 Mir Bennett, who has had a wide experience in the raising of fur bearing animals has picked Alaska for all his future opera tions. His one regret is that the present land office regulations make it difficult, if not impossible for any adequate aggregation of capital to come in or to accomplish that there are plenty of fine fur anything. This despite the fact islands available but not being worked by the present holders who are incapable of transferring their rights under departmental rul- ingSS.
 "The conditions adjacent to Ko- diak and the westward islands for practically all kinds of furbearerS are ideal,' he said TSouthwestern

Alaska has a damp, moderate cli- mate. Extreme winter tempera- lures seldom occur; however a damp cold, sometimes accompanied by high winds make it imperative for man and animal alike to go warmly clad.
 'sThe food conditions are all most right as they are, but the company is planting new grasses and grains and herbs to supple ment the native verdure. The sea food of the beaches is a big as set. We will creae some additional ponds for muskrat out outside of that we only have to let Nature take her course.
 we are bringing 1000 pairs of muskrat for Long Island and 50 pair of blue fox although the island carries fox from the ori- ginal stocking We will start the new mink farm with the best stock procurable and that will also be the case in regard to the raccoons.
 T am very fortunate in hav- ing the KaSer boys with me be- cause we made success out of that Montana ranch when they said it couldn't be done. We won't have as hard conditions to buck in Southwestern Alaska as we did in Montana
 ''There is an important fact about muskrat not known at all to the man on the street and sometimes dimly appreciated by the fur buyers themselves. It is in regard to the actual hide of the animal irrespective of it's fur. Some climates produce fine fur but the skin is so thin that the pelts don't hold well when rats" that have grow there we know that defect does not exist.
 Bennett will have direct sup ervision of the affairs of the com pany in Alaska because of many years of experience in various barnches of the fur business in the Territory. He was with Parker & Klaner on Whale Island where they are raising blue fox and for time he was with Ames & Craig at Petersburg where they raised mink as well as fox Tn Montana

he put over a very successful muSkrat ranch.
 T very much deplore the pre- sent regulations of the land office regarding fur leases in Alaska, !" said Bennett. They are holding up the game. There are number of good fur islands that are idle now and will be, simply because the holders are not in position to do anything themselves and can't transfer their rights to someone who can. That was a regulation put thru with the evident inten- tion of stopping exploitation by specu1acorS. It also stops the de-
 lopment of the fur industry in the Territory. There is plenty of capital available to start big op- erationSs on these idle islands if enough ground can be gathered under one management to make the investment feasible. It is not an era of "stock- -skinning' and is should be an era of fur skin ming because of the revenue it would bring to thhe Territory in addition to new homes and wage earners."
