OPPORTUNITIES
 FOR FUR FARMS
 SEEN IN ALASKA
pr. Lloyd Believes Experi- mental Station, Southeast,
 Be of Great Value

That genuine opportunities for greatly expanded fur farming in- dustry prevails in this region of AL aska was the opinion expressed here yesterday by Dr. w. A. Lloyd, prin- cipal 'Agriculturist for the Western Division of the Extension Service, Department of Agriculture.
 Accompanied by Lorin T. Oldroyd, Director of the extension service of the University of Alaska which is partly supported and works with the Department of Agriculture, and Dr. Jules B. Loftus, Territorial Veterin- arian, Dr. Lloyd has been visiting fur farms in Southeastern Alaska including those in the Juneau area and will leave for the Westward on the Yukon tonight.
 Through their own experiment. ing, study and effort the Alaskan fur farmers have made good pro- gress, and their animals show the results of this" Dr. Lloyd said. However, after looking over the situation carefully in this area and talking with many fur farmers my conclusion is that an adequate gov ernment research laboratory and experimental station located near the center of the industry is badly needed"
 Dr. Lloyd pointed out, whiie the individual farmer had made pro- gress, aided with what limited help Dr. Loftus and the Extension de- partment could afford, that through a proper research laboratory and experimental farm, with biological experts studying all the phases oi the industry invaluable information

WASHINGTON U S-OARED CREW
 HARD PRESSED
Forced to Flash Near End of Course to Overhaul
 and Beat Britons
25,OO0 SPECTATORS
 CHEER GREAT FINISH
Crew to Be in Finals on Friday-Hume Rows
 Despite Illness

GRUNAU, Germany, Aug. 12. Taken unawares by the strong British challenge, the University of Washington crew, of Seattle, Wash, U. s. A., turned loose power and cracked all Olympic records this afternoon and won the first heat of the eight cared rowing competition.
 Trailing after a slow start, the University of Washington Hus- kies flashed sensational spurt, overhauled the British eight in the last few strokes and won by a scant half length.
 The Huskies made the course in six minutes and eight-tenths seconds, smashing the course record of 6:O9 set by the Hun garians, as well as the former Olympic Standard of 6:O3.2 set by California at Amsterdam in 1928.
 The victory today qualities the Huskies for next Fridays final but the win took all of the power they had to make the grade, with stroke oar Don Hume, of Olympia, Wash ington, underweight, as the result of severe cold.
 st 1s,.a ss resua.x
 The Haskies started slowly and trailed the field during the early stages.
 The Japanese rowers, with a fam tastically high beat, ranging be- tween 40 to 50 strokes to the min- ute, set the early pace.
 The British pulled into the lead after 1000 meters and Washington finally hitting the stride, found the Britons disinclined to come back to them
 Spectators Yell
 Hume had set the beat to 38 in the great finishing but the drive sent the Huskies across the finish as 25,000 spectators yelled approval. Far back trailed France, Japan and Czechoslovakia.
 Hume. scaling only 158 pounds, seven pounds under his best weight was "all out" after the hard finish.
 Ulbrickson Talks
 The rest of the crew waited nearly a minute after the finish to give Hume time to regain his breath before starting back to the boat house where Al Ulbrickson greeted them quietly with: Swell work boys. That was a much harder race than I expect ed. The effect on Hume is the only thing worrying us but I believe an extra days rest will bring him around"
 Hume "Sick Boy"
 Ulbrickson said that Hume has been sick boy but has been re- covering his strength steadily and despite the fact he is still much underweight rowed the race exactly as ordered but the opposition was ougher than we looked for.

 One native has succumbed.
 Natives are now eating shoes, boots and skin coverings fir o m boats.
 Tundra animals are dead long time" said Joe Arney, a resident of this area.
 The dead Eskimo barely succeeded in saving his wife and children after bringing them from the interior to the coast where other Eskimos have divided their bread.
 Eat Sled Dogs
 Many others are now exhausted from hunger and would have died long ago but for eating their sled dogs" said Arney.
 The Government Reindeer Super intendent. Frank Daugherty, said the Bureau of Indian Affairs office is doing all possible to aid the Es- kimos but winter and spring ice conditions have made seal hunting and fishing impossible. Inroads of wolves on the reindeer herds with no supervised management for reindeer along the Arctic Rim is responsible for the scarcity of their meat which is the Eskimo's main stay" he said.
 Dr. Greist noted the danger of epidemics as due to low resis- tance.
