PICTURES BLAMED FOR CRIME WAVE IN TAHITI

PAPEETE, Aug. 16.-Motion pie ture films depicting valiant deeds of handsome bandits ,arousing great excitement among native audiences, are blamed for the mild outbreak of banditry that took place during May. Early in the month four nat ives, imprisoned for various offensss, took to the hills back of Papeete, They descended from time to time on raiding expeditions, chiefly against Chinese provision shops, un- guarded clothes lines, pig pens and chicken runs. In the course of their plundering they obtained firearms and ammunition, and after that their armed forays caused some thing of panic among the house holders of the island.
 After many unavailing efforts to capture the bandits, the govern ment organized parties of natives to search the mountains systemati- cally. One of the parties found the four in remote valley, but they were not subdued until one of the fugitives had been killed and anoth- Yer wounded.

SEWARD GOOD LOCATION
 FOR HERRING SALTERY

Millions of herring are reported by fishermen running in the bay at the present time. These men claim that Seward could support a small saltery with ease, and this would give en- ployment to both fishermen and To- cal labor. At the present time no herring can be secured for halibut bait closer than Sawmill Bay, which makes for an additional expense in fishing.
 If several citizens would finance a saltery, such as is being erected at Seldovia, there is no question but that it would pay.

Sheep Raising Now Profitable Industry
 Unalaska Says Supt.

On her return trip from the west ward, reaching Seward August 4, the steamship Starr, Captain o. A. Johan- sen, brought IS sacks of wool, about three tons, the product of the Aleu- tian Livestock Company at Unalaska, with herds on Umnak and Unalaska islands. This wool was of extra long staple and absolutely free from the grease and dirt so common to sheep on the Outside ranges of Idaho, Ore gon and Colorado. There is also no shrinkage to the wool, this fact alone causing it to bring fancy price on the market.
 The Aleutian Livestock Company took in 1030 sheep to Unalaska Isl and on the steamship Oduna, Sept ember 29, 1923. The trip was made quite late in the season at a time of heavy gales, but the animals came through without loss, arriving in Chernofski Harbor eight days out from Seattle, and were landed on rafts of cedar logs, 250 head at a time. Despite their shipment at time when they were supposed to be breeding, the animals came through the winter on the open range, and the loss was negligible, considering the animals were not yet acclimated, or used to the range. Lanlbing time passed with small loss and shearing time showed unusually heavy fleeces.
 Unimak Island is ideal sheep range beng covered with succulent grasses to a depth of six inches on the hills to three feet in the valleys, several varieties of grasses being found but all suitable for sheep grazing.
 Climatic conditions are also per feet, the United States government report showing that during the past IS years the temperature reached seven degrees above zero but once, in 1918, the lowest temperature of other years being 26 above zero. The snowfall is very light, lying on the ground but few days. For Jan uary, 1924, but four days of rain were recorded.
 There are innumerable springs, small lakes and streams of fresh wa ter en the islands, and these remain open throughout the year No preda- tory wild animals of any kind are to be found, and owing to a lack of trees and brush, one herder can take care of from five to six thousand head of sheep.
 The experiments conducted by the Aleutian Livestock Company during the past six years have proven abso- lutely that sheep can be raised on these islands with native grasses alone as food during the entire year. It takes about $6.50 per head to raise a sheep in the States. MT. William R. Sprote, in charge of the Unalaska nefdS ana assistant manager for Alaska, climate that this sum can be greatly lowered in raising sheep on the Aleutians. The animals of the Aleutian Livestock Company sheared about 12 pounds per head this year, and will probably go even better than this when they become accli- mated. The meat is far superior to mutton raised in the States, and is free from the oily, muttony taste of sheep fed in the sagebrush districts. It is estimated that about ninety per cent Of the lambs will live to matur- ity on account of the equable climat- ic conditions.
