SHEEP RAISING PROGRESSING
Industry Successful Thus Far; Com
panies Expect Increase Herds
In the Spring.
The experiments in raising sheep
in the Unalaska region have pro
gressed quite satisfactorily thus far,
Dan Ross, deputy U. S. Marshal of
Unalaska, a visitor in Seward, in
forms the Gateway, and if this win
ter’s results are satisfacotry to the
two companies who are carrying for
ward the experiments, indications
point the industry will he enlarged fo
a considerable extent.
A rough estimate given of the
number of sheep now owned by the
companies is placed at 1000 sheep for
the Aleutian Island Livestock Compa
ny, and for the Western Alaska Live
stock Company, about 700. Last
year’s increase was close to 100 per
cent ,it is stated. The country is
apparently ideal for the industry and
winter forage, is found in abundance.
Dr. Smith of Portland, Ore., heads
the Western Alaska Livestock Co.,
and a Mr. Moore is head of the Aleu
tian Island livestock Co. Several
hundreds of pounds of wool was ship
ped to the States last Fall. An un
official report is to the effect that
providing the sheep pass thru the
winter with any degree of success,
5,000 sheep will be landed on Unimak
Island next spring. This is the third
year of the companies so it is con
fidently expected the above report
will be carried out. Little snow falls
to the Far Westward and there is
ample native grass.
Mr. Ross said there were about 150
men, women .and children, in the
Unalaska district, the bulk of them
natives. During the summer months
they are employed in the fishing in
dustry and in the winter "the majority
of them trap. The islands are well
stocked with red, Silver and cross
fox.
The San Juan Fishing and Pack
ing Co., had a boat in the district
during the past season and caught
lots of fish. Cod and haMbut are in
abundance. Few other fishing boats
were around. The larger vessels fish
farther North and about the only
time the residents of Unalaska see
them in when they pass by.
The Alaska Commercial Company
conducts a large oiling station which
has a capacity of 50,000 barrels. Inis
plant is located at Dutch Harbor, a
half mile distant. Aside from the
A. C. Oo., which company carries a
stock of general merchandise capa
ble of existing for an entire year
without replenishing, there is an
other trading store owned by O. K.
Queen. Both establishments are do
ing well. During the summer months
and part of the winter there are two
restaurants running, two pool rooms
and a barber shop.
Unalaska is headquarters for the
Bering Sea patrol of coast guard cut
ters. The post commander and his
staff live ashore. The towrn is also
the headquarters for the B. of F.
Eider, which vessel plies to and from
the Prilibof Islands. There is a
large Naval radio station where five
or six men are stationed. The Ter
ritorial school has two teachers and
the enrollment is placed at 35.
J. E. Orloff is in charge of the Greek
Catholic church. Rev. Lambert and
his wife are stationed in the old mis
sion building.
“Unalaska is one place in the Ter
ritory which is absolutely free from
bootleggers,” Mr. Ross stated yes
terday. Everything is quite and or
derly and practically no trouble of
any kind is encountered.”
Mr. Ross left on the S.S. Alaska
for Valdez on business of an official
nature. He plans returning to Sew
ard next Saturday on the Alameda
and will return home on the next
westward sailing of the Starr.
Jack Lodge, cook for. the Alaska
Road Commission crew on Kodiak
Island lasit summer, departed from
Seward Saturday on the steamer Al
aska, Seattle bound. Mr. Lodge is
returning in spring.
A number of girls at Columibia
University have adapted small tur
tles as pets, since dogs and cats have
been barred from the institution.
