Speaking of the meeting, K 1*.
Walker, chief th' Biological Sur
rey, who was pi i nt, staid today:
‘‘Tiie meeting gave consideration
to many subjects of importance to
the fur farming industry. Of these
tho most Important was the consid
eration and preparation of a bill to
provide for I lie marking of blue fox
skins, and otherwise to provide pro
tection for tiia fur farmer from
poaching.
"The meeting throughout was char
acterized by remarkable harmony,
gained by the firm bi liof of every'
member that they wore assembled
far tho good of the industry and that
no one had any ulterior motives or
unfair views. This was significant
and is a. good omen for a highly
successful and efficient organization, i
“Tlie spirit of the mo ting is strik
ingly shown by tlie fact that the
members naL only gave their time in
attending the me ting, but decided to
pay their own expenses instead of
charging them to the Association as
they were entitled to do. These ex
pem.es Included not only subsistence,
hut steamer faros as well.”
