This price was over forty per cent high-| er than any other skins sold. ] The Chilkoot Fur Farm located at Haines, and owned by Stans- field Brothers, has made a re- markable record the last several years. Starting in the fall of 1924 with a very small amount of stock it has rapidly expanded and is now considered one of the larg- est fur farms in the Territory. One of the owners said: “The fur farming industry in Alaska has a big opportunity for| the future provided the ranchers are given some backing. Within sev- eral years the industry will Tepre- | sent an investment of many thou-, sands of dollars and will give em- ployment to a large number of families. However in order to com- | pete with the lower cost of feed enjoyed by States fur farmers, it is necessary that ranchers be al- lowed to catch, or buy from fisher FROZEN FISH e e————— HAVE GIRL BABY Mrs. Gilbert L.
