LIVESTOCK ARRIVE
 IN FINE CONDITION;
 LANDED ON ISLAND
NUCLEUS OF WHAT IS TO BECOME
 FINE INDUSTRY ON GRASS

Ten Hereford hefers blooded bull and 50 purebred sheep are now enjoying luxurient grass on Sitkalidak Island, according to Jack McCord who returned from the Westward on the Admiral Evans, which brought the livestock to Alaska.
 All of the livestock arrived in ex shape than when they were placed aboard the ship in Seattle, says MT McCord.
 The animals are the nucleus of a herd which Mr. McCord expects to grow into a big paying proposition, and which will be added to from time to time
 It is MT. McCord's belief that sheep and cattle production is destined to be- come one of the greatest industries of Western Alaska, especially in the Aleutian Islands He has succeeded in convincing a number of Utah and California capitalists of this fact, and the present venture is capable of go- ing through with anything it under takes.
 Thus with the $500 sheep already upon the islands and the herd just placed form the farthest west ranches in the world.
 The larger herd of sheep will be sheared for the third season this year and gauged by last years results the clip promises to produce 50,400 pounds from the original flock without counting the lambs. The wool last year brought from 50 to 50 cents per pound, commanding premium over other wools owing to it's fine texture, due to favorable climatic conditions.
 Statistics, says MT. McCord, show that the annual loss, due to natural causes, is only 2 per cent, which dem- onstrates that grazing conditions are ideal and that weather conditions are entirely suitable to Livestock propa- gation.
