Ohmer Action the Interior in granting title to the land at standing fur farm comes as encouraging news not only to and his associates, who own the company, but for the Territory’s general development In reversing the land office ruling which had denied title under the manufacturing site act, Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes reveals that he is cognizani of the need for encouraging private enterprise in Alaska and is not afraid to set aside a technical bar- rier when the interests of the Territory are at stake For years the Yukon Fur Farms has been trying to get title to the tract of land on which it has made improvements costing between $60,000 and $75,000. But its request has been repeatedly denied. When application was more recently made under the manu- facturing site act, the land office held to the regu- lation that fur farming must come under the lease law, although the manufacturing site act provides not only for manufacturing but “other productive in- dustry. Secretary Ickes has shown that he realizes a fur farming operation which this year will produce around $70,000 worth of mink fur, much of it premium on the world market, “productive industry” and there- fore entitled to fair consideration. is a Just how far the ruling goes or whether it applies only to the Ohmer case has not been ascertained.

Most of us at some time in our lives have done things which we later learned were ill-advised. That appears to be the case of Judge Black and the Klan.

H. W. ANDERSON. in bolstering the fur farming business generally in the north. Raising mink, fox and other animals in captivity for the fur market is an infant industry in Alaska. But the results obtained by Mr. Ohmer and other fur farms have proven that it can be successful, and should be encouraged in every way. The Terri- tory is seeking to promote the industry by the estab- lishment of an experimental fur farm to provide in- formation for the fur farmers. If the same kind of censideration which has been demonstrated by the Interior Department in the Ohmer request can be cbtained from other government departments, the fur farming industry will'get somewhere. If, however, the ambitious fur raiser is going to have to continue | forever operating under a permit with never a chance to get title to his land the outlook will not be sfll bright. | Right now there is much talk of a plan for Alaska | development. Might we suggest that the plan be di- rected toward promoting private enterprise which in time will make the Territory self-supporting and in line for Statehood rather than aevelopment through department control which has a throttling effect upon industry.
