SEVERAL THOUSAND SHEEP TO BE PLACED ON RANCH
 ON UNIMAK ISLAND

A. L MdChlutOSu Ol Ouludk lSl- land was in wrangell a few hours last week on his way to the States. He will return north in a short time bringing with him several thousand additional head of sheep for his ranch on Unimak Island.
 The Seward Gateway has the fol- lowing to say regarding MT. McIn- tcsh and the business of sheep rais- ing in Alaska:
 "Mr. Macintosh has had over forty years experience raising sheep and is satisfied that western Alaska will in time be one of the greatest sheep countries in the world.
 His statement is based on fact. that due to the settling of land in the west, much of the grazing land is being fenced, and the available land is becoming so restricted that the profitable raising of sheep will shortly be impossible. In addition to this the absence of brush south and west of Unimak Pass and the absence of dust and dirt, makes the wool taken from sheep raised in Alaska much heavier and cleaner. Mr. Macintosh stated that the manner of herding sheep in the west. necessitates the continuous at- tention of a herder for each flock, and usually a dog, which in circling the flocks, drive them through the brush so that in years time much wool is lost on account of being pulled out by burrs and other types of weed. In Idaho the average sheep will produce six or seven pounds of wool. whereas the aver age so far for Alaska has been from eight to twelve.
 "The raising of sheep to the Westward has passed the experi- mental stage, and according to Mir. Mackintosh sheep in Alaska graze on grass up until February; sheep slaughtered during December. Jan uary and February are in fine shape and can compete to advantage with the States raised sheep, which, during these months have to be fed at great expense. MT. Mackintosh spent five years in the Falkland islands studying sheep conditions, and through an accident noticed that the western Alaska islands are located in practically the same lati- tude north. MT. Arlington who is also associated with this organiza- tion, and who at present is stopping at the Sexton hotel, was sent to Alaska and spent four years study ing conditions before sheep were placed on the islands.
 "Mr. Macintosh is very much enthused over the work of the Sew ard Chamber of Commerce in their endeavor to have legislation pro vided for the protection of the men going into this business, and stated that from Shelikoff Straits to Uni mak Pass, every valley has suffi' cient grass to support band of sheep, and if proper assistance would be given this industry by the government. settlers could be in- duced to locate on these sites, and that country in time would easily take care of hundred thousand sheep giving over million pounds of wool annually, and would rank among Alaska's largest exports"
