| Building Beef
Industry With
Russian Cattle
PALMER, (A*)—They’re hunt
ing ibeef cattle with long-range
rifles on a wild Alaska island
once used by the Russians as a
penal colony.
It’s part of one of Alaska’s
newest industries—an amazing
meat packing enterprise whose
operators are slaughtering wild
cattle that have roamed unmolest
ed for nearly 75 years.
The islank is Chirikof, lying
west of Kodiak and about 100
miles south of the Alaska Penin
sula. Treeless but covered with
thick, high grass, it is roamed by
some 800 head of cattle, first
planted there in 1888 by the Se
midi Propagation Company.
. Now three men have formed a
company to “harvest” the beef
with an ingenious combination of
surplus army vehicles, expert
riflemen and airplane transporta
tion.
They aren’t bothered by stories
that the Russians used Chirikof as
a sort of “Devil’s Island” penal
colony before the United States
purchased Alaska, although there
still is a graveyard with evidences
that Russian prisoners may have
been left there to die.
The men are Harry Ryan and
Waiter Cooper of Palmer, and
Charles Waller of Kent, Wash.
Their company, with headquar
ters here, flies processed ibeef
from Chirikof to a Palmer cold
storage plant.
The “roundup” on the island
has most of the thrills of an Alas
ka big game hunt., Three beef an
imals in a day is a good bag for
two men.

Army surplus weapons carriers

%
j marshes and rough terrain. 'Driv
ing within two miles of the herds,
the men then stalk the wild cat
tle and shoot with telescope
equipped rifles. They usually get
only one shot before the herd
stampedes.
The beef is dressed on the spot,
hauled aboard the winch-equipped
weapons carrier and taken to a
slaughter house near the beach for
processing. Then it’s loaded on a
plane and flown 500 miles to Pal
mer.
Long smooth beaches provide
perfect landing fields for planes at
the island, where ships cannot
anchor because of shallow water
Operators of the project say
they have long-range plans to
build up the island as a first class
cattle ranch, introducing Hereford
bulls to improve the strati*.
Another lure of the island is
beachcombing along debris piled
up toy the Japanese currents. Ev
ery piece of lumber for the
slaughter house was picked up/ <m
