MACDONALD TO VISIT

His Visit to America Is
Pilgrimage to Memory
of Dead Wife

London. April 9 P)-Behind the
prosaic news that Ramsay MacDon-
aid, one time British premier. is
sailing for the United States today
aboard the steamship Aqutania, lies
a love story which turns the voyage
into a pilgrimage to the land he Wis
tied thirty years ago during the days
of his greatest happiness.
Since then honors of state have
been hcaped upon him. From the

worst hated man in all Britain, Mr..
Macdonald reentered public life. be-
came prime minister. q Confdant of

But through it all, he has been a
lonely figure. for one person above
all others with whom this dour, but
romantic, Scotsman would have
cared to share his honors passed
from his presence fifteen years ago,
but not from his life. Two rings
that he wears on his left hand are
the symbol of the lasting dedication
of his devotion to a woman's MEM
DRY.
1t was n wedding trip that first
took the MacDonalds 10 the United
States and it was a hostess in that
country who gave such perfect
courtesy to Mr.. MacDanold and his
bride that he has never forgotten it.

to London. toilcd and studied I'M

 LIVESTOCK COMPANY

Jack McCord, who has just arrived from his New York offices, was the guest yesterday of the Seward Cham Der of Commerce. of which he is a member. He told of his thrilling neck and neck horse race with the tightest filibuster the United States Congress has ever known in history to get his bill passed singlehanded within an hour before adjournment, which means much in the development of Alaskan agriculture.
 Under the new laws, MT McCord has leased the entire island of Sitkali- dak and part of Kodiak, totaling 130 square miles, which area he is stock ing with animals to be purchased in the Yakima country, consisting of 50 ewes, two rams, 10 heifers, a bull and a team of horses. He will accom- pany these animals to the Westward on the Evans on behalf of his own McCord Alaska company of New York City.
 After his return in few days, MT. McCord will wait in Seward for the s. s. Starr for Dutch Harbor where he will meet coast guard patrol cut ter to visit all the islands in the Aleutian chain. He also will be ac- companied by Messrr. Steffen and Sproat, representing the Agricultural Department and the National Wool Growers association, respectively, all making classifcations of these islands with such reports as being official for their own respective interests.
 According to the present figures, Mr. McCord states that with the 70 per cent increase of spring lambs from the 5,6Oo plus $500 more on their way from the Cascade mountains, the sheep population will be about 12,OOo on Unmak Island, where the headquar- ters of the Meutian Livestock com pany are located.

 The prevailing slogan: When you think Alaska, think Alaska Steamship company" is we'll taken for indeed the distribution of such a magazine is ex- cellent advertising for Alaska as we'll as Seward.
