DANCE GIVEN BY
 HAIDA WAS SUCCESS

The dance given by the officers and men of the U. s. Coast Guard Cutter Haida, was one of the most success ful held in Seward.
 A great deal of energy and talent was given to the decoration of the A. B. Hall; festoons of greens inter mingled with the international signal flags covered the ceiling and walls of the building, the stage being framed with green boughs, with beautiful American flag as a background. The music was fine, and very much en- joyed, as was the singing by the men from the cutter.
 A feature of the evening was the prize Polka" being deservedly award ed to Mrs. Peterson and one of the men of the cutter.
 Commenting on the Haida, by the people of Seward, Lieut.. Baker, speak ing for the officers and men of the Haida, said that they were very grate- full for the pleasant time extended them; and especially thankful to the Seward Chamber of Commerce for it's assistance in publicity, and finan- cially in making the dance a success, and that they hoped they could soon return, and express themselves in a better manner.
 It is needless to say that Seward never entertained nor was entertained by a finer body of officers and men than those of the Haida, and the wish of everyone was that they return soon, and remain longer.

Haida to Visit AEtak
 On Way Westward

At the request of the Red Cross, Captain Hottell, Commander of the Coast Guard Cutter Haida, will stop at Alitak and other native villages en- route to Unalaska.
 These settlements off the south end of Kodiak Island are off the regular lines of transportation. There is much tuberculosis and many eye diseases among the natives there.
 Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tyson, teachers employed by the U. s. Bureau of Ed ucation have done great deal to al leviate the sufferings of the people and to teach them personal hygiene.
 Dr. Marchane, the U. $. F. H. phy- sician aboard the Haida will make a careful examination of the adults and children while there.

J. (. BUSH WILL JOIN PERSONNEL OF THE
 SEWARD HATCHERY
K. A. DRAGER SUPT. IN CHARGE OF SEWARD HATCHERY RE-
 PORTS WORK PROGRESSING

Mir. Wentworth, Superintendent of Territorial Hatcheries, left Seward on the Yukon for Ketchikan to supervise the marking of ten thousand of the million young king salmon which will be released there soon.
 These king salmon were matched in Ketchikan from eggs imported from Oregon in exchange for one million hump back eggs. The exchange was made last fall. MT. Bennett, fish cul- turist at the Ketchikan hatchery, con- voyed the shipments to and from Ore gon. Eggs that are properly pre- pared for shipment and properly cared for en route suffer none whatsoever as the result of their journey as was full ly demonstrated by these shipments.
 Before leaving MT. Wentworth stat ed that he had added the name of J. c. Bush to the permanent staff and that MT. Bush had been assigned to the Grouse Lake hatchery at Seward as assistant.
 q am highly pleased to secure the services of MT. Bush," said MT. Went worth, "as experienced hatchery men are very scarce and those that are al so competent to fill executive positions are exceedingly So. The addition of MT. George Thompson, who goes to Cordova and MT. Bush, who goes to Seward nicely rounds out the perma- nent staff, as it gives me nucleus of experienced men who can direct and train the recruits that we will add to the organization from time to time"
 MT. Drager in charge of the Sew ard Hatchery, is highly pleased with the assignment of MT. Bush to Grouse Lake. MT. Bush is not only an ex- perienced hatchery man but is also a very competent man in general.No doubt some of the Sewardites are ac- ouainted with MT. Bush as he is no stranger to Alaska. In 1920 he was with the Bureau of Fisheries Hatch cry at Afognak, and in 1922 headed the party Investigating the fish work at Karluk. He is an overseas veteran with a very enviable record.
 A number of people have visited the hatchery since traffic has opened. The hatchery equipment is not completely finished but all will be in readiness for the spawning season as work is progressing rapidly.

Railroader Praises
 Alaska As Great
 Tourists Paradise

MT. John A. Callahan, we'll known Railroad official, who with his wife I has been for some time a guest at the Van Glider Hotel, sailed on the Admiral Evans for Seattle. | Mir. Callahan was very compliment tary in his remarks about MT. Lee H. Landis, the present General Man ager Of the Alaska Railroad, stating that he and MT. Landis had many years acquaintance having worked to- gether, years ago, and that no better Railroad man could be found; that unquestionably, under his direction the Railroad with the cooperation of the communities along the road, could not help but be success.
 Alaskans apparently do not appre- ciate, what great country they have said Mir. Callahan, they have become so used to their surroundings, that they do not realize that nowhere in the world can such magnificent seen, cry for the attraction of tourists be found. Alaskans should maintain in the states, a publicity bureau, where actual information on conditions would be given; it is impossible for any railroad company or other trans portation company to describe the possibilities of this section, for to do So would apparently show discrimin- ation against all other sections
 Mr. Callahan, himself, has made several trips to Europe travelling ex- tensively thru all sections offering attractions to tourists, including all the famous watering places" sum- mer resorts and points of special in- terest, but Alaska has them all and then some," said Mir. Callahan.
 He said Mrs Callahan and him self were so pleased with their stay, that they would probably return again in the near future, for lon ger visit.

MACINTOSH WILL
 BRING SHEEP FOR
 HIS UNIMAK RANCH
SEVERAL THOUSAND SHEEP TO BE PLACED ON WESTWARD
 ISLAND

Mir. A. L. Macintosh, who departed for the states on the steamer North western will bring up several thous- and additional head of sheep for his ranch on Unimak Island.
 MT. 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 be- coming so restricted that the profit able raising of sheep, and the gather ing of wool 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. Mir. Macintosh stated that the manner of herding sheep in the west, necessities the continuous at tention of herder for each flock, and usually dog, which in circling the flocks, drive them thru the brush so that in a 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 give six or seven pounds of wool, whereas the average so far for Alaska has been from eight to twelve.
 The raising of sheep to the Vest ward, has passed the experimental stage, and according to MT. Mackin- tosh: "Sheep in Alaska graze on grass up until February; sheep slaughtered during December, January and Febru- ary 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" Mir. Macintosh spent five years in the Faulkland islands studying sheep conditions, and thru an accident no ticed that the western Alaska islands were located in practically the same latitude, north. MT. Arlington, who is also associated with this organiza- ton, and who at present, is stopping at the Sexton hotel, was sent to Alas ka and spent four years studying con- ditions, before sheep were placed on the Islands.
 Mir. Macintosh is very much en- unused over the work of the Seward Chamber of Commerce in their endea- vor to have legislation provided for the protection of the men going into this business, and stated that Sheli- koff Straits to Unimak pass, every valley has sufficient grass to support a herd of sheep, and if proper assis- tance 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 a hundred thousand sheep giving over a million pounds of wool annual ly, with packing houses, an available transportation and would rank among Alaska's largest exports.
