NEW YORKERS TO START
FUR FARM ON LARE SCALE
(Anchorage Times.)
What promises to be the largest fur
farm in the Territory will be estab- I
lished in the Kusilof district during '
the present, season by Perry A. Cole
and associates, who arrived in An
chorage on Saturday from the States j
to make their permanent home in the !
Territory. Mr. Cole has been engaged 1
in the fur farming business in New j
York for many years, and he and his |
associates have come to Alaska thor- j
oughiy familiar with the work in i
which they will engage here. There
are fourteen members in the party,
including children, and the number
will be increased to sixteen at an
early date.
The party will leave Anchorage to
morrow on the motorship Discoverer
to complete the work of establishing
the new enterprise. Mr. Cole’s son
Milton started the work during the
last winter and has th ework well
under way at the present timp, .al
though there is much yet to be done
to provide comfortable homes for the
several families..and .quarters, for the
many fur bearers which will become
part of the establishment. Seventy
silver foxes are being brought from
New York, and, in addition, the farm
will be stocked owith , Arctic foxes,
mink and muskrat.
Mr. Cole is accompanied by Mrs.
Cole and four of their children, Mr.
and Mros. Neil Brownn and three
children, .and Edward Zettle. They
have brought a lot of equipment with
them, including a complete Kohler
lighting outfit. and it is their inten
tion t» establish a modern community
on the Kusilof river. . A Territorial
school is to be-.established during the

“Well, madam, why don’t you wish
to serve on.the jury?” asked the
judge.
“I'm opposed to capital punish

“But this is merely a ease in which
a wife is ruing her husband for an
accounting. It seems she gave him
$500 to pay down on a handsome ''ur
eoat, and he is alleged to have lost
the money -at poker.”

The Crop That Failed. I
Representative Gilbert N. Haugen, !
of Iowa, said at a recent banquet in
Northwood:
“The farmer is plucky,; yes, too
plucky. He ought to grumble more at
his hard lot. Instead, in hi.v plugky
way, he laughs about it. j ‘
“A stranger from .the City told'the (
farmers in the general store at Croy- i
don Four Corners about a crop fail- '
ure, but an elderly farmer said:
“ ‘Yep, stranger, I went through
that crop failure, too. It wa’n’t noth- 1
in’, though, to the. crop failure of ’79. 1
Back in ’79 our corn crop sure did 1
fail us. Yep, it sure did. Why, we
had corn for dinner one day, and pap
ate fourteen, acres of it.’ ”
