WOLVERINE ON
ISUND CAUSE
LOSS TO CATTLE
ESTIMATED 4,000 CARIBOU ON
UNIMAK ISLAND; CATTLE
ARE THRIVING
There are at least four thousand
caribou roaming about Unimak Is
land, arrivals in Seward from the
Westward assert. A trapper, claim
ed it took him fully three days to
work thru the herd which was forag
ing about over a long stretch of
miles.
Cattle raisers are meeting with
marked success ow'ing to the adapta
bility of the region for this indus
try which, it is (believed, "will in
time assume huge proportions.
There is a good abundance of
good, nutritious grass growing ail
over the island that make tine hay,
and which will sustain life without
grain, if necessary. Hay can be i
put up in abundance and with little I
ijlltILtri tauuc - '
raised with great profit. The cli
mate thurout the year is to all in
tents and purposes the same as that
of the mid northwest
It is known there are two wolver
ines one the island and to these
animals is laid the havoc which has
•been created among the cattle and
caribou herds. Cattlemen and trap
pers, as well as numerous other citi
zens, have been hunting .for weeks
for the wolverines but up until the
time of the departure of the steamer
Starr, some days ago, no success
had been met with. It is believed
the animals floated across to the is
land from the mainland on an ice
cake. No other guess can be haz
arded for the distance is far too
great for the wolverines to have
swam.
