“With the proper breed of sheep and cattle suited i
to the conditions as found here, and the care that they
give them in the States, the stock-raising possibilities
of Westward Alaska are enormous/' said Fred G.
Manweler,, stockman of Washington, who has been ob
serving sheep and cattle on Kodiak and Sitkalidak Is
lands.
“If the stockmen of the northwestern United'
States get the real low down' on this country, I will
not be surprised to see hundreds of thousands of head
of scock raised on Westward Alaska ranges within the!
next ten years. It seems inevitable because the condi
tions are right,"

I Representative Britten of Illi
I nois predicted quite a “howl
| from prohibition fanatics for
I further waste and corruption in
| enforcement, an impossible law,
will receive little favorable con
sideration by the incoming Con
gress.”
Britten has long been an ad
vocate for modification. He as
sailed the Methodist Episcopal
board of temperance and public
morals for their recommendation
that 500 additional agents be as
signed to the prohibition depart
ment.
If the Methodists are sincerely
interested in the cause of tem
perance and public morals they
would recommend immediate
modification of the Volstead act
to permit the manufacture and
Sale oi non-intoxicating beer
which would satisfy millions of
our people now feeling intoler
ant towar dprohibition.”
He challenged the board to
’■'WKn public the date of the
.meeting and to place the names
7 those Prcrem who approved
i-ne request for 500 additional
agents and a $2,000,000 ad
