FWS Reports Styles Making Long-Haired Furs Popular Again

Long-haired or "unwanted'' furs are once more becoming popular in the fur market. accord ing to Frank G. Ashbrook. Tn charge of wild fur-animal inves- tigations for the fish and wildlife service, in his annual report on the fur catch in United States and Alaska.
 For the last few seasons the so-caiied long haired furs, es- pecially foxes, have been ban iShed from the fur trade. Now the long-haired furs are again becom- ing popular-they have been fea- tured in spring and summer fashions. The market for these raw furs is more encouraging. Raccoons are now meeting a good demand, special interest being shown in northern skins of the heavy shearing types. These are processed to simulate beaver, says Ashbrook. "The 1949-50 ex- port value of raccoon peltS amounted to $1,426,878".
 In spite of this unusual demand

the report shows that annu; takes of long-haired furs in chi, fur-producing states still relic, slight decline, also shared b annual takes of all fur animal Mink, beaver and muskrat de mand continues high with goo markets.
 Defense agencies have brough about an upward trend for vol skins. During the past six month the market for wolf skins ha been increasingly active with tn prices rising. Current procure ment by defense agencies of flu ruffs for parka hoods is the req son for this spurt.
 MT. Ashbrook's leaflet, "Annua Fur Catch of the United States" lists the reported take of wile animals in the various states anc Alaska for the five seasons iron l945-46 to l949-50. The reported catch for each state is broker down into the particular animals trapped in that state. The full re- port may be obtained free ot charge by requesting "Wildlife Leaflet 3l5" from the Division of Information, Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington 25, D. C.

DEFENSE CONTRACTS AWARDED TOTALLING EIGHT & ONE.HALF MILLION

The Territory of Alaska is the recipient of benefits to be de rived from eight and one-half million dollars just awarded by the Corps of Engineers for con- struction contracts.
 The money is parceled among six successful bidders for large scale jobs in Anchorage and Fair banks areas.
 Colonel L. E. Seeman, Alaska District Engineer, said that the largest of these contract awards, estimated at over four millions went to Peter Kiewit Sons of Se- attle for the construction of a hangar at Eielson. J. C. Boes- pflug, also of Seattle, won an award estimated at over one and one-half millions for construction of a laundry and dry cleaning plant at Fort Richardson.
 Another award estimated at over one and one-half millions went to Permanente Cement, Cal ifornia, for 150,50 barrels of ce- ment to go to Eielson Air Force Base.
 Two contractors received a. wards estimated at over 325 thousand dollars each. P. s. Lord Mechanical Contractors, Portland, won the contract for furnishing boilers and auxiliaries to Fort Richardson; A. E. Waxberg, Fair banks, was awarded the contract for construction of a fire station at Ladd Air Force Base.
 Doughty and Taylor, Anchor age, received the award at $53,- O45 for a special ammunition storage building at Elmendorf.

Overtime Pay Suit Decision May Prove Bonanza for ARR Men

A recent decision by the Cir. cult Court of Appeals ruling that Alaska Railroad employees are en- titled to overtime pay for work in excess of 40 hours a week may prove bonanza to several local incorporating employees of ARR, it was learned last week.
 The test case. which counsel for ARR employees had stipulated would cover some $50 employees having claims on file, was award ed in favor of George D. Poggas, section foreman on the railroad. He was awarded Sl0,l30 for over time work between March 28, 1884, and July 1, 1945.
 C. L. Nelson, local ARR agent who hopes to collect over S6,000 under the ruling, says the over time suit stemmed from a De- partment of Interior ruling that employees of the government op- erated railroad were not entitled to overtime compensation under the 40-hour week law which went into effect in 1894.
 Ray Murdock, counsel for the employees vas optimistic about the other overtime claims. He said that the Poggas case decision paved the way for overtime pay ments to some $50 incorporating employees. At time and a half for overtime, this would amount to between $5,0O0,00O and $6 mil lion.
