MINK AND FOX
 WORTH S2S,4O0
 TO LEAVE HERE
Breeding Stock Assembled for Shipment to New
 Holstein, Wis.

Two hundred pair of mink and 42 pair of foxes, worth all together $28, 400, are assembled in boxes in the warehouse of the Alaska Steam ship Company on the City Wharf here for shipment to the Associated Fur Farms of New Holstein, Wis. The animals, in charge of Bruce Brown, veteran fur farmer of the Mendenhall Valley, will go for ward on the Northwestern, sched- uled to sail south from this port early tomorrow morning. After 2 rest for reconditioning at the Wis consin destination, most of the stock will be sent to Norway Of the mink, 100 pair were bought from MT. Brown, who had reared them on the Alaska -Mendenhal Fur Farm, near here; 50 pair from the Arctic Fur Farm, also nea1 this city, and 50 pair from the Chilkoot Fur Farm near Haines. Their average price was $100 a pair.
 Silver and Blue Foxes
 All the foxes, chiefly silver and blue, were obtained from the Chil- koot Fur Farm, at an average price of $200 a pair.
 The animals from the Chilkoot farm were brought from Haines to Juneau yesterday, by Oscar Oberg in his halibut boat.
 MT. Brown, who is one of the best and most successful fur farmers in Alaska, has associated himself with the Associated Fur Farms of New Holstein. He may accompany the present shipment of stock to Nor way, or he may return to Juneau this fall to buy more fur bearing animals for the farms at New Hol- stein. In the future. his headquar- ters will be there.
 All Arc Breeding Stock
 All the mink and foxes to be shipped on the Northwestern are breeding stock; none is for pelting purposes. The contracts for the purchase of the animals were made last July, when B. N. Stiefvater and P. w. Langenfeld, officers and heavy stockholders in the Associat- ed Farms at New Holstein, were in Alaska on a buying mission. Both visited the fur farms in the Men- denhall Valley, and MT. Langenfeld also went to Haines and to the Westward.
 On the southbound trip of the steamship Alaska, which left Juneau for the Westward, about twice as many animals as are now assembled here will be put aboard the vessel at Anchorage by fur farmers Of that region for transportation to Seattle and thence by rail to the Associated Farms at New Holsteir.

FARMER.LAB0R|TES
 HAVE A GOVERNOR
Triumph in Minnesota ReaWak-
 ems Dreams Of Party Power

Minneapolis. Dec. 5 PD-Once again farmer-laborites dream of ad- vancing their party in national poli- ties,
 The party has celebrated it's twelfth birthday anniversary in Minnesota with the election of the states first farmCr-labor governor.
 The partys life has been an up- and down existence since it grew out of the farm revolt' of postwar days. When first if sought 10 rise 10 pawcr it planned as its means of entry the election of farmer Ia bor members of congress. The plan failed.
 The organizations leaders now claim success for tho new method - 10 elect state executives who can make records and bring national at- tonrion.
 The first step in this direction was the election Of Fred E. Olson, Min neapolis attorney veteran in poli- tics although only &9 years old. to the governorship Of Minnesota.
 The party also elected Henry Arens, a farmer. as lieutenant gov crnor. The senior senator. Henrik Shipstead. and Paul John Kvale. seventh district congressman, are members Of the party.
 Because of the near balance Of democratic and republican strength in congress after next March. Ship stead and kvale may occupy un- usual strategic positions.
 A few years ago. when conCcntra- ton of it's power reached the heights. the farmer-labor group named three congressman and two senators. Magnus Johnson serving briefly with Shipstead.
 Olson, with broad appointing powers. is likely to have d friendly legislature to aid him in realizing his platform promises. In con- -ress. the party's members have been luckless in patronage.
 While farmer-la borites are hop ing 10 place the party on a national basis, they are reluctant to say "when' and how" Olson takes inc position that time will take care Of that"
 He intends to emphasize only a fow policies, differing from the early leaders who sought reform on such d wide front that they en- countcred small groups Of opponents as result of each, who together furnished formidable opposition be- fore campaigns were well started.
