CLOUDS OVER JESS
ARE SILVER LINED
NEW YORK, Jan. IS. Tex Rick
ard has found a way around the age
limit Which has been invoked against
Jess Willard by the New York Box
n'ng Comm lesion. Rickard bethought
himself of the fact that the Jersey
commission never did adopt the 37
year age rule. Therefore, there is no
written prohibition of the light in
the Big Bowl on Boyle’s Thirty Acres
and the Jersey Boxing Commission
is inclined to stand for Willard. In
the meantime, however, Jets prob
ably will have to box one of the
other heavyweights If one can be
found who is willing to work with
him. which seems unlikely.
Notwithstanding the big man’s
demonstrated unfitness to cope with
Dempsey and his long retirement,
the objection to the match is grad
ually diminishing in strength. Wil
liam Muldoon, the New York com
missioner, author of the age limit
regulation, has re tan ted to t'l' extent
that he is willing to consider proof
or Willard's demand that he is
only 3<i.

FUR FARMING IN
MATANUSKA AREA
TRIED BY RANCHER
(Anchorage Times.)
Hughie MctCaughey arrived In A:t
chora.ge Saturday from his ranch ill
the Matamifcka Valley, and stale!
that on acocunt of having a poor
season and a small potato crop i. >
has fenced his ranch and convert!.11
it into a muskrat farm.
Published accounts of the hr:1 sl
ing of muskrats disagree so widely
that the habits of the animals might
bo supposed to differ in many parts
of tho country. It ia thought by
many that the muskrat has thre •
to five, litters in the course of a
year, having from three to eight
"kits" in a litter, which are born
blind npd naked, but develop rapidly
The muskrat ia chiefly herbtfer
ous. sometimes induling in animal
fooow. Compared with other furs v
email size, muskrat furs are of ex
cellent quality, the Alaska muskrat
fur being very dark and classified
as black.
The muskrat enjoys two homes in
the winter, one on the farm and the
second which he builds on the ice
out of moss. Swimming from the
■shore out under the ice he burrows
through the ice, and through his
pole pushes up mos- a little at 1
time until he has a circular house
built, averaging in size from the di
mensions of the old-fashioned tove
ipipe hat to tho slz.e of a large arm
chair, and in which possibly two to
i ten muskrats live.
A very peculiar trait of the nui.-k
rat. in t d by many trappers, is when
I the rat has to come up for air and
i none is nvailiable, the muskrat will
| come up against tho iee and blow an
air-bubble, then taking it back in
I again.
The present market price of the
ini skrat fur is from 75c to $1.50 a
licit. Front the financial success that
: fin -farmers in the States have had,
it is though Mr. McCaughey is the
Pioneer, in what has all the ap
! poarance of being a new and profit
■ ole industry in Alaska. At the
, ' rt time the muskrats have
[ bet11 built ninety-nix moss houses
, on hi t farm.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. -I’oscibii

this year in the gold exports from
Hie Unit. I States exc •"ling import
i- tiding discussed here on the baair
•f statistics on gold transfers for
the 11 month.- ending November :»• >
last. Those transfers made pub
lic show that gold imports by the
United State - for the 11 months ag
a related only $249,000,000, a di
croace of $411,000,000, or 02 per
c lit, from the figures fur the cor
■ ponding period of 1921.
India and Canada took most of
‘ho gold exported by the United
1 States in tlio period covered bv tli
figures, and it was shown again that
i the prosperity of both countries was
responsible for the purchases of
gold here.
Another factor affecting Am- rlean
gold 'imports is said to lie the ex
i hauatton of the Rub .ia.n gold reserve
and tho consequent reduction in
-hipmenls to the United Scutes by
France and Sweden.
The future action of Idle gold flow,
however, will die affect xl hy several
other factors, in the opinion of some
officials, who mention the ‘ invis
ible ex]iort" of gold, such as the
vast sums carried abroad by tile
over-increasing number of tourist.-,,
i the payment of interest to foreign
holders of pre-war securities and
insurance by foreign companies still
operative, and an anticipated in
< tease in merchandise exports to the
United Stales from many corner
of the globe.
There .is also, it s.ud, the pe
i ioitleal remittance by foreigners
now resident hen which must be ta
ken into consideration in estimating
the outward flow of gold.
