BIG PICTURE LAST
TIME AT COLISEUM
That Metro's presentation of "Thej
Four Iforsemeu of the Apocalypse”
the Rex Ingram production adapted
for the screen by June Mathis, rivals ]
the greatest theatrical offerings of
the legitimate stage, was the opinion
of John Calvin, Mayor of Cincinnati,’
after twice viewing the picture in |
Now York. This screen masterpiece j
is now showing at the Coliseum and j
Is on for the last time tonight.
“It is the greatest picture 1 have
ever seen," declared Mr. Calvin. “Its
dramatic power is something wonder
ful and it affected me just much as
though 1 was witnessing a spoken
performance. It stirs the emotions
and I am not ashamed to say that j
torts of tljat picture brought a lump]
to my throat and tears to my eyes, j
“Pictures like ‘The Four Horse-1
men’ are the greatest kind of adver
tisement to show that the movies
are capable of just as wonderful
dramatic effects as the speaking
Stage. It shows what tremendous
things the hig companies of tile mo
tion picture industry are doing to
advance the standard of pic tures."

noises in the ear and impaired hear

the arteries which brings on ok

may be traced to the tonsils.

With the growth of population and the increasing demand for furs
I throughout the world, the supply has steadily diminished and prices
have correspondingly advanced.
The United States government, in a bulletin issued by the Depart
. ment of Agriculture, says:
"The natuial production of first-class furs seems to be approaching
a sure end, and the demand for them requires that tho present supply
be supplemented through domestication of fur-beating animals, just as
live stock is raised today."
As an indication of the fur demand in this country, more than
1 $79X00.000 worth of raw and dressed fuis were imported into the;
United States in 1922
The Government. estimates that Americans spend in excess of
$100,000,000 annually for lur garments.
Fur fanning in Alaska is still in its infancy, yet there are more
than 150 fox farms in the Territory, representing an investment of
.'approximately $1,5GO.CCO.
i Domesticaticn of the Silver Fox was begun on Prince Edward Island
i in 1885, and despite inexperience and other handicaps Silver Fox farm
ing proved highly profitable almost from the start.
According’ to the Income Tax Report for the Dominion of Canada,
fox ranches en Prince Edward Island valued at $6,000,000 returned to
[ I their owners in the years 1919, 1920 and 1921 a net annual income
' cf $2,500,000. This is an average profit of more than 40 per cent peri
j annum.
The Silver Fox pelt compares with other furs as does the diamond
with other precious stenes. As larger numbers are produced and inti
mate knowledge cf their desirability becomes more general (through ob
servation and through advertising) desire and demand will increase and;
prices will undoubtedly climb to a higher level than they are today.
As an indication of the soundness of this statement, note this very I
important point. THAT FOX BREEDERS ARE ALMOST UNANIMOUS
IN THEIR HOPE FOR A RAPID EXPANSION OF FOX FARMING. If
these lcng-expcrienccd men taw any possibility of a decline in the J
profitableness of the business through such expansion, it would be natural
,ler them to discourage rather than encourage it.
Pure bred Silver Foxes, registered ftcck of prize winning strains,
of cither the Standard or Alaskan stock, costs in the East from $1,500
, to $3,COO per pair.
Alaskan stock may be purchased in the Territory for $600 per
pair, and ten or more pair will be delivered tc Juneiu at that price.
This difference in prices is largely due tc the many years of do
mesticaticn of the Eastern-bred stock; more vigorous culling, selective;
breeding, building up and advertising’.
A vixen of the same strain as the fexos offered at the price of $600
i per pair holds the following records cf increase: 1920, 300 per cent;
l; 1921, 250 per cent; 1922, 150 per cent; 1923, 300 per cent.
, This vixen is owned by a Juneau resident. She and her mate cost
1; their owner $1,400. and the 1923 increase from this one pair of Alaskan
l; Silver Foxes weic sold for $2,200 cash money before the eyes of the pups
1 were yet open. This sum represents the .sale of but five pups, the sixth
1 member of the litter being accidently killed. The owner of this pair ol
lcxes realized a piofit of more than 157 per cent on this, his first year's
t increase.
The future of the Alaskan Blue Fox industry offers as great an
opportunity tor enormous profits as docs the Silver Fox when the Blues
are mere thoroughly domesticated through pen raising. At the present
time the domestication of the Blue Fox is in the experimental stage.
VIlUlCc jjiuc diui iv Jiusj ut jjui umtciu iui fouu pci pail.
Under my co-operative plan I will ranch both Silvers and Blues.
( It has been proven for more than 35 years that Silvers live a life of
contentment in wire enclosures.
I am preparing to demonstrate that the Blue Fox can also be suc
cessfully raised in captivity, and & better animal will result from such
1 domestication. ,
r I have located a homestead on the Glacier Highway, ten miles from
i Juneau and within four milts from the Mendenhall Glacier,
c This location is admirably ruited ta the business cf fur farming.
In my opinion there is no better location in all of Alaska, taking
everything into consideration, than this particular/locality.
11 GLACIER FOX RANCH is a new company inr process of organiza
tion in Juneau, by Juneau people, to be incoipormed under the laws cl
' the Territory, with a capitalization of $50,000, divided in shares of
' i $100 each.
I am now taking subscriptions for stock preparatory to incorporating.
I am also taking subscriptions under a co-operative plan which
,.! insures the investor all the benefits of this lucrative business without
his assuming any of the liability of a stock purchaser,
i.1 The plan is this: You may purchase one or more pair of foxes, either
< Silvers or Blues. Turn them over to the GLACIER FOX RANCH to be
»’ cared for and fed scientifically by a man born and raised among the
- fox ranches of Piince Edward Island, with practical experience in the
* business.
The owner will be supplied with a Certificate shewing that the
foxes are registered in his name; a ranch plan showing the pen occupied
, by his foxes, and an agreement in writing granting the owner the
privilege of visiting the ranch at any time during the open season
- and inspecting his foxes.
i For the facilities provided and the services rendered the Corporation
r will exact 50 per cent of the annual increase from your foxes,
H You may remote your foxes at any time after the first increase,
1 or we will ranch the increase together with the parent stock under the
1 same terms.

Now, are you afraid to open the door? Peek through
j the key-hole then!! Watch out for the great Alaskan
s fox circus!!
