Rod drew her to him. Overhead
the moon struggled to emerge from
behind a cloud bank. From the lake
came the low moan of an invisible

Honey, I'd know your lips on

"Baloney!" Lyla exclaimed lneie-
gantly. Let me down"
Obediently Rod set her feet on the
sand. The two young people sank
down together very close to the cage
of the water. Lyla pulled her tiny
feet under her and sat staring pen
siyely out over the restless surface
of the dark lake. Rod, close by her
side. was silent, gripped by tne
beauty of the moment, ana un"ln-

The soft. fresh breezeS which swept
off the waters held an ntanglple

the small wavelets tapping ON the
beach was a quiet refrain to the
loneliness of the night. Far out on

disappeared into the mysterious

"And howl" he rejoined feelingly.
"You know, Lyla, I've never felt
about anyone as I feel about you.
I've always dreamed of a girl like
you, but I never saw her until we
met. I remember many, many times,

day.
"And aren't you going to do big
things, Rod?" Lyla asked softly. His
arm stole gently around her.
"Sure I am" he boosted. I'm
going to make you proud of me"
Suddenly he remembered his con-
tract with Killing. "Have you ever
been to prize fight, Lyla?" he asked
as casually as he could
want to see one, either" she told him
emphatically. ''Why?"
ooh, nothing" Rod said hastily.

Japan Would Revise
 Fur Seal Treaty

The Japanese Government is said to be pressing for a revision of the International Seal Con- vention. They claim that there is an annual loss of $10,000,000 yearly to Japan's fishing. Tn other quarters the belief is that the reason for Japan'S insiStence on revision of the treaty is their dissatisfaction with their share in the pelts secured from the Pribilof Islands. This is handled by the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries and the fur sales have been held in St. Louis for many years.

Reindeer and caribou in steadily increasing numbers are confined in this pasture and the Survey, in CO., operation with the Alaska Game Commission, also has three buff falo pastured in the corrals. A contemplated expansion of the work there is the domesticating of mountain goats and sheep.
 In view of these activities, MT. Flory believes a fur experiment station will fit in very nicely. Its establishment at the college would make possible a great saw 'ng in overhead, and the work

 The proposed station, MT. Flory explains, would supple ment the service now being rendered fur farmers by Dr. Earl Graves. It would bring an addi- tional veterinarian to the ter ritory, with permanent head quarters at the college station and the work of visiting the full farms throughout the Territory
 would go on undisturbed, except that it would have more tho
 rough direction. The veterinar-
 ian in the field would be direct
 ed by the veterinarian at the lstation and the work carried or lat the station would be a helI to him in solving the problems : lmet with at the various flu farms.

vested some $2,500,000 in various ways, including herds, corrals, an abbatoir, cold storages and vessels to transport meat from Seward Peninsula points to Se- attle.
 Last year, he said, the com pany employed 579 Eskimos and TO whites in it's operations in the northwest. Its payroll for the year amounted to $2O9,OOO which is the largest single payroll in the Second Division. There are now more than 100000 deer in Alaska herds and, as they are prolific and hardy, the prob lem of prof1tably disposing of the annual surplus is becoming larg- CT each year.
 "Of course, as we develop, ex- pending more money and hiring more people, there are some who think there must be something wrong about the business. But it is yet in the future when the industry can be said to be on a profitable basis. We are conf
 dent, however, that it can be put
 on such a basis and maintained

Acting on the. recOmmenda- tion of Commissioner Charles H. Flory, the Department of Agri- culture has given approval to a plan for the establishment of a federal fur experiment station in connection with the Alaska College, and the Bureau of the Budget will be asked to approve an appropriation sufficient to inaugurate the work.
 In explanation of the action taken by him, Commissioner Flory, who was a visitor in An chorage this week, informed The Times that he regarded the Alaska College the logical place for the establishment of such a station for the reason that the federal government already has a somewhat similar work under way at the college, and is plan ming the expansion of it's activ- ities there which shortly will provide considerable work for a veterinarian. The able work o1 the biological survey under CO., operative arrangement with the college has made very satisfac- tory progress with it's studies ir breeding reindeer and car ibou and it is also conducting feeding experiments with rein deer to determine the feaSibilit! of topping off" reindeer slaugh1 ering season.

Local mink farmers have SuS- tained heavy losses during the last week, at least two establish ments reporting the deaths of g number of filters of young as wei as older mink. The deaths are attributed to bad horsemeat which was used for feeding.
 The Anchorage Fur Farm As sociation, one of the largest es- tablishments in the city, suffer ed the heaviest loss, more than a dozen filters of young having soccumbed after partaking of the meat which had been prepared for their consumption. A number of the older animals also died.
 The Dahl farm on Lake Spenc- ard road, is reported also to have suffered considerable loss, but the circumstances were not ex- actly the same. In the case of the Anchorage Fur Farm AsSoci- ation, the meat was barely thaw- ed when it was put through the grinder, while the meat which is supposed to have caused the death of the Dahl mink had been on the place for week or more.
