BRANDING OK FOXES
IS RECOMMENDED
I5Y I)R. E. \V. NELSON
Branding and registration of fox
es by Alaskan fox farmers as a
menus of checking depredations on
their stock by thieves is reconiuiend
od by Dr. E. W. Nelson, chief of the
biological survey, in a letter recent
ly received from him by United
States Attorney Shoup. Mr. Shoup
said that he had taken the matter
up with the biological survey as the
result of numerous complaints re
ceived by him from fox ranchers of
their animals being stolen.
Organized Thievery Exists
"It seems apparent from the com-!
plaints received at this ofllce that I
organized robbery of the fox islands I
Is being carried out at least fairly
successfully," Baid Sir. Shoup. "We
have done what we could but under
the circumstances we are naturally
unable to protect all the Islands on
which fox farming is conducted and
to do so would require a good sized |
fleet of patrol vessels. which we do
not possess.
"As the Alaskan fox farmers do
not carry out a syotem of branding
their animals, even where we might
think we have located stolen ani
mals, such anlmalt being without
marks of Identification, there Is no
means of verifying our suspicions.
In fact, it is practically impossible
to make u case unless the thief
should be caught In Hie very act of
robbery."
Marking Sy.oti'iii Explained
In his letter to Mr. Shoup, Dr.
Nelson explained briefly the system
which he believes will prove au aid
in checking robbery of fox farms, lie
recommends the marking of young
foxes by tatooing the ear. This me
thod, he suid. is commonly used by
the Canadian government inspectors
on Prince Edward Island, whose
duty it is to inspect foxes and pass
them for registration. The tatoo
ing is performed tJ an Instrument
which is made by placing very fine
needles in a design which forms the
brand. The needles are dipped into
ink and then pressed on the ear of
the animals. Many firms, including
several on the Pacific coast, man
ufacture the above instrument.
To Make It l.egal
Dr. Nelson has prepared an Alas
ka game bill for introduction in con
gress within the near future and
said that he would Include marking
and registering clauses in that meas
ure. It is hoped, he said, to get
congress to act favorably on the
measure at its regular winter ses
sion.—Exchange.

and the two parties were found guil
ty of the charge.
The penalty for the ofTense is 6
mouths in jail or $400 fine, or both,
at the discretion c! the court. The
jury in bringing in its verdict re
commended clemency. Judge Ward,
therefore, gave the two persons one
week to get out of town, suspend

SKAGWAY WEATHER
There may be towns in Alaska
which have better weather than
Skagway, but we do not know of
them. Of course, it you are fond of
perpetual rains. Sitka or Ketchikan
are hotter than Skagway, or if you
want snows. Haines and Cordova
are hotter than Skagway. but for a
town lit which sunshine ic summer
and pleasant winter weather are in
terspersed at their appropriate
times Skagway is hard to beat.
Thus far this winter we have had
exceptionally good weather and for
the past week very mild weather.
We have snows, but rarely so deep
that a Ford cannot negotiate them
easily every day of the winter
months, and our sidewalks seldom
have snow on them so that you need
rubber overshoes. All in all. Skag
way has exceptionally good weather
for a northern town.
E.U.I.KS TO GIVK DANCE
The local order of Eagles will give
one of their famil> dances on Sat
urday night of this week. The us
ual general invitation is extended to
all. A good time is assured to all

MARTIN JOHNSON IN
"Cannibals of the South Seas"
A SENSATION IN NEW YORK
Mr. Martin Johnson, who accompanied Jack London on the
famous voyage of the -Snark', is a man of adventure. Accompan
ied by his wife, he went Into the Islands of the South Seas, in
habited by tribes of canlbals, to make motion pictures of them
and their habits. To witness white persons in c!o*e contact with
cannibals and other natives of the South Sea Islands Is lndee an
opportunity that should be availed of. No pictures of travel
could be more interesting.

INDIAN IMXJS AGAIN'
AFTER CHICKENS
Evidence of Indians' docs being
after chickens In the town is In
creasing. This should be taken In
hand at the very start, and If the
owners of these dogs do not keep
them so they wul not raid chicken
coops ther should be cleaned up
quickly, and that before they have
killed half the chickens in the town.
Poultry Is too hard to raise, and
dogs are not of enough value to al
low the latter to destroy the form
er.
I'l.KXTY OF WATER
' The heavy rains of the last few
days have filled up all the lowlving
places about the streets and vacant
lots. Had the weather turned about
cold the town marshal would have
been saved about half the work of
pumping water on the skating rink,
as the rink was pretty well covered
for its first freeze. But this soft
weather will cause all the water to
run away.

Many people have a weak spot.
Too often it's the back.
Twinges follow every sudden
twist.
Pull aching keeps on, day and
night.
Backache is often from weak kid

In such cases a kidney medicino
is needed.
Doan's Kidney rills are for weak
kidneys.
For backache and urinary ills.
Good proof of merit in the follow
ing statement.

ney Pills are an old standby with
me. They have done me a lot of
good. I used them off and on for
years and have never foond their
equal for kidney trouble. At tini. s
I had attacks of backache that :>1
ways put me out of commission. 1
could hardly stoop or straighten np.
and my kidneys didn't act rig! :
Doan's Kidney Pills have never fail
