That is fur farming Gold and fish can speak for themselves as the records of the years reveal. They are established. But the raising of fur on farms in the north is just starting and it can become one of the Territory's fore- most industries if properly nourished. The Territory has started out in that direction by providing for fur farm experimental station which is soon (o be put in operation. A site already has been tentatively selected near Petersburg. It is on the forest reserve about seven miles out of Petersburg on what is known at the lower fork of Twin Creek. It is connected with Petersburg by an excellent road and affords a sloping area extending to salt where excellent dock facilities could be erected access to the property by boat. A supply of electricity a down water is available from the Petersburg power lines which| run through the site at the roadside There the Territory hopes to erect buildings and maintain an experimental fur farm where those who are venturing into the industry can be given assis- tance in the countless problems which arise in the successful of fur-bearing animals in cap- tivity It is a step in the right direction toward bringing this infant business into an industry of major pro- portions, and if it can be succored through serious consideration in the comprehensive Alaska plan to be prepared it will result in untold benefit to the Territory. growing & AT Most Alaskans are well aware of the fur farming possibilities just as they are aware of the many other potential resources of the Territory yet undeveloped. That is the primary reason why the fundamental por- tions of the Alaska plan should be prepared in the Territory; by the Alaska Planning Commission and with the aid of the citizens of Alaska who are familiar with the Territory and its needs THE UNPREDICTABLE JOE Not in a long time has a prize fighter come along who gives the “experts” as many headaches as the present champion Joe Louis who last night success- fully defended his title against Tommy Farr of Great Britain ‘When Joe was coming up, the boys appeared to sense a budding champion and they started up the chorus, “a greater hitter than Dempsey,” and “another VITAL ‘ ARE SHELLED N One-H ANCHORAGE, allowing | : the last week or two the parent body has proved that it still retains considerable vitality. This was most convincingly shown in its victory over the |C.I.O. in the poll conducted in the Philadelphia bak- ling industry, which means that the C.IO. will now | withdraw from that field. ! | The new gains of the AF. of L. doubtless to some |extent reflect recent losses of the CI1O. The setback jof the latter organization in the steel industry has “indicated that it may not invariably win its strikes. | | Its methods in recent strikes, moreover, have alienated | ymuch public opinion, including that of workers.

If the poll of ,the American Institute of Public Opinion is to be taken at its face value, William Green of the Ameri- | can Federation of Labor is preferred by a vote of two | to one over John L.
