George Cohn, William L. PROPOSED FUR BILL EXPLAINED BY FUR FARMER Industry s Fast Declining Declares Mr. Haltiner of Hound Island 1 Anncuncing that a bill requesting the appropriation o: approximately 1 830,000 for the establishing of a Ter- {ritorial fur farm and experimental station is sdon to be introduced in the Territorial Legislature by Sena- tor Henry Roden, of the First Di- Ivision, Fred Haltiner, Hound Island fur farmer, and one of the main | supporters of the bill, discussed the great need such an establishment {would fulfill. Mr. Haltiner, who with his wife and baby has been in Juneau in connection with the bill for the past week, and who, accompanied by his family sailed south on the Princess { Norah, has been raising foxes on |little Hound Island in Keku Strait ifm- the past five years. | While south, for about a month, Mr. and Mrs. Haltiner will visit {with his parents at Paulsbo, Wash., and with Mrs. Haltiner’s parents at | Wenatchee, Wash. | Greatly Needed Such an experimental station as | proposed, has long been greatly jneeded by all raisers of market furs |in Alaska, Mr. Haltiner said, and Earl Ohmer, Petersburg business man and cannery executive, besides being most prominent in action | toward the securing of the present |legislation, has 1ong been working Harmon, N. Datofl, toward the same direction. Of the approximately 400 fur far- mers on various Alaska islands, | nearly 100 per cent are behind the ! proposed measure, as is shown by i by Mr. Ohmer, a short time ago. i Principal Purpose ! The principal work of the proposed station would be the diagnosis of and development of means of combat- ting parasites that infect all fur islands after they have been in use for a few years, and kill a large | pencentage of the young stock. | Another problem needing solution operator at Skagway, who has been | 5y, grew a sweet potato weighing is that of pen-raising animals and ‘yet having them develop market- {able fur. As conditions now are, Mr. Haltiner declared, each new \island is good for only a very few years of production before it be- Ay $4.00 For Your Old Iron ON E ITHER Hotpoint—Westinghouse—Coleman NEW STYLE AUTOMATIC IRON $6.95 regular LIGHTER $1.00 Old Iron FASTER $5.95 You Pay EASIER Take Advantage of This Saving Alaska Electric Light & Power Co. e <- U.S. Of SHELDON SIMMONS Chief Pilot Alaska Air Transport, Inc.

Of the five years that Mr. Hal- tiner has been raising blue fox on Hound Island, the past two have shown marked decreases in the pro- portion of the increase that sur- vives. Has Expei’mental Pen Mr. Haltiner has, himself, built an experimental pen, in an effort to avold the parasites by pen raising, but the penned animals have not developed salable coats of fur. Not being himself a trained veterinarian, Mr. Haltiner has been unable to solve thé problem. Besides, he said, | the cost of experimentation by indi- vidual farmers is prohibitive. The proposed ‘measure would es- tablish an experimental farm on an island to be located by a neutral commission. Two trained veterinar- ians would be required; one to con- duct the farm and another, provid- ed with sufficient transportation funds, to be on call to visit the in- dividual farms and examine their | oroblems. Veterinarian Needed If the full amount asked in ihe ap- propriation bill is not available, it would be of immense help to the in- dustry if $15,000 would be appropri- ated to secure a vetérinarian, pro- vided with travelling funds, on ex- clusive call to the fur raisers for diagnosis. As the situation now is, Mr. Haltiner said, Dr. Jules Loftus, territorial veterinarian, has not suf- ficient funds at his disposal to an- swer calis."Besides, he has the entire territory to cover in connection with all types of animal problems, and is seldom available for calls, neither can he conduct experimental work. The station would have to be es- tablished in the section where the animals are raised in order that its findings would have value. Else- where climatic and other conditions would be diiferent. Under present conditions, the carcass of an ani- mal that has been diseased must be embalmed and sent to Washington, D. C. for diagnosis of its infection. Besides the great cost involved, the carcas$ usually gets there too late for accurate research work. A diag- nostic laboratory located in the fur section would be of invaluable as- sistance in combatting the parasites that now soon infect the ground where the animals run at large. Decline Threatened If some step is not soon taken, | declared Mr. Haltiner, the fur in- dustry, vitally important to Alaska. especially Southeast Alaska, will in the next few years see a serious de- cline. There is no reason, he cén- up till it is more flourishing tha~ ever hefore, Though needing initial support, | he said, there is no reason why the | experimental station should not soon | become self-supporting, if not pro- fit-making, through the sale of im- proved breeding stock as is done With agricultural experiment sta- tions in the States, such as that at ‘ashington State College, The station could be of great value to the University of Alaska as & training field for graduate stu- dents, and the cost could thus be cut, Mr. Haltiner declared. One ex- | perfenced ‘travelling veterinarian would then suffice, he said, and the students could carry on the experi- {mental and research work under | his direction. Forward Strides Great forward strides could be | taken toward the making of the industry in Alaska the finest any- ‘where. as it is now a fact that Alas- ka blue fox pelts are the finest of any raised anywhere. Though they are inferior to the wild Arctic blue fox, the latter are fast becom- ing more scarce and most of the demand must be met by raising. An opportunity for the station would lie in the improvement of the pelts through the dessimation of proper feeding knowledge (each farmer now has his own individual beliefs regarding feeding) and through the solution of the diffi- culties now present in the Territory in the raising of silver fox. The sta- tion would conduct research not only in fox but in mink and other farmed fur bearers, It is inevitable, Mr. Haltiner de- clared, that the establishment of such a station as is asked, would greatly benefit the Territory and more than pay out, and that very soon. o Try The Empire classifieds quick results. e truly believe mfle—T i America’s Greatest Shoe Values { [ o and Prettiest Footwear DEVLIN’S D DEPENDABLE SEATTLE AND ALL Authorized U s.
