11UEED1NU SILVER 1X».\ES
Let all fond fathers and indul
gent husbands t-Uie new courage,
somebody may yet tame the sea ot
ter aud the ermine, the sable aud
the seal, as some one has tamed
thee other of that quintet of regal
fur-bearers, the silver fox.
They call him silver-fox, al-'
though he is jet black, barring a
silver tip to his tail aud a few sil
ver threads in his magnificent coat.
He's a dandy; but if you wish to
meet a real black fox enthusiast
I'll Introduce you to General H. S.
Haidekoper, who has spent his
summer vacation on Prince Edwari
Island.
On a space not larger tiiau Phila
delphia -75 fox-breeding companies
have about $10,>.'00,000 worth of
silver and black foxes. They grc.v
them as a Bucks Couutuui raises
pigs; but instead of about $5o tor
a porker the assessed value of
each silver tip is $4,900. The fox
es in taat small section of Canada
are .worth more than all the do
mestic animals on the island.
The silver fox is an animal of
romance A century c<r more ago
the Hudson Bay company would
pay one of its h.irdy trappers Slot'O
for a single pelt. More than oue
such lone woodsman who had got
the coveted skin met his death at
the hands of another, who stole it
I rem him.
genius Canadian decided that it
was time to admit scienco into part
nership with the fox. So ho bought
a ouir from a trapper and began to
breed them iu captivity.
A mother fox holds to the Roose
veltian principle that race suicide
should be discouraged, and iu her
dozen years of life she will rear
an average of 45 baby foxes.
A good black fox, properly sil
vered, will now letch $15,000. Ou
one company's farm an old tabby
cat became the foster mother of
'wo orphan foxes worth $1O,0i>U
and reared them as creditably as
the oia wolf suckled Romulus and
Remus, the fouader of Roane.
1 gather from what Gemeral
Huidekoper tells me and from other
sources that black fox farming is
now very profitable. A couple of
years ago I wrote that prices for
black fox skins tad declined.
Nearly 30 companies owning fox
farms have paid all the way from
25 to 500 pct cent dividends. Two
women earned StOo'per cent on
their investment in a year by rais
ing foxes.
The profits would indicate that
the black fox fur market is still
sky high; yet If this farming game
goes on so successfully I should
think this Rlttenhouse square nec
essity would have to drop la price
very decidedly. And so with the
other fashionable furs, barring seal
and otter. Even a fur layman can

MONEY FOR THE ALASKA
RAILROAD
It may l>e i^at some people of
Alaska atre a l'ttle bit impatient be
cause cars are not yet running on
the government railroad. That
fooling would bo natural, no matter
how fsst the commission might
move.
Yet, even the most restless must
not overlook tho fact that heavy
construction work began several
weeks ago, and that a beginning lias
been made In ♦rack-laying from Au
chora«*e out toward the Matanuska
ccal fields.
So much for the present.
Kor the immediate future, sec-ro
tary of the Interior Lane puts
through an estimate of $9,000,000
fer ihe rajlroai next year. He
does it in tho Xaco of the fact
that he has cut his total estimates
tor the interior department to a
ngure J 1,000,000 less than for a
year ago.
The railroad is going right alous.
Au appropriation of $9,000,00u will
lielu quite noticeably. It will also
tperate to swell the aggregato of
railroad supplies and materials that

And In a "world of romance
Tliey wander hand and heart,
Each smile to fraught with sweetness
Each tow that's whispered low
Has DO million meanings
That only; one may know.
When Wooda-ow goes a wooing
The world stands ga<plng wide;

Eucti whispered tow la printed,
Each Bmlle to photographed,
To show to 90 millions—
