RECORD GOOSE FLIGHT
 REPORTED FROM FLATS

The biggest flight Of geese on record was recently reported on the Copper River flats by Dr. W. H. Chase. member of the Alaska Game Commission. They were of the white-fronted variety known locally as "yellow-legs.
 Dr. Chase said reliable esti- mates on the flight placed the number of these birds in the flats at 100000. Coming from the northern breeding grounds in the early Fall months, the white fronted greese drop into the Cop per River flats and rest up and feed for a few days. They then go south. it is believed flying almost directly across the Gulf of Alaska. Few of them have been reported in Southeastern Alaska areas.

SHEEP RANGING SUCCESSFUL IN
 THE ALEUTIANS
U. 5. Agronomist Makes Optimistic Report on
 Possibilities there

Sheep ranging Tn the Aleutian Islands has been proved to be sue cessful and, after certain problems have been solved will be even more markedly successful, declar ed Dr. H. w Alberts, Chief Agro- nomist in Alaska, U. s. Depart ment Of Agriculture. He has just completed a months study of grazing conditions in which he covered the Aleutians thoroughly.
 There are many thousand square miles of excellent grazing land in the Aleutian Islands where the ranging of sheep has proven success. There are still many problems to be solved. When this has been done. it will be even more successful Dr. Alberts said.
 Covers Wide Area
 His investigations took him in- to all parts of the Territory in which there are agricultural. dairy ing and grazing industries Leav ing here last March, accompanied by Mrs. Alberts he travelled into interior Alaska. Kodiak and to the farthest west of the Aleutian group of islands. While he was inves tigating conditions and discussing problems with those engaged i'll these enterprises. Mrs. Alberts was aided by doing extension work, advising farmers and ranchers' wives on household matters, home building, etc.
 Dr. and Mrs. Alberts returned to Seattle late in August on the Navy transport Vega, which had been on it's annual trip to the Pribilof Islands for the seal skins taken by the Bureau of Fisheries. Mrs. Alberts went to Los Angeles to visit relatives and friends while Dr. Alberts proceeded first to Sit ka. his headquarters.

Problems Mentioned

The most serious problem which eonfronts the industry, Dr. AL berts concluded, is that of ade- quate transportation The lack of dry feed during winter months, the rainy seasons making it virtu- ally impossible to cure hay, is another source of difficulty. There are but two fields in which hay can be successfully cured, the western end of Dutch Harbor and Umnak Island which are now oc- cupied by the Aleutian Livestock Company and the Western Pacific Livestock Company. Labor diff faculties are also present Located so far from centers of population. there is no source of labor sup plies to handle the shearing which lasts but a short time each sea- son.

ate on islands some distance from established transportation lines and away from points that have regular mail service because they can afford to own and maintain their own boats. Transportation is somewhat expensive as harbors are not always good. Sheep own- ed by the larger outfits were found to be, in excellent condition and the ranging industry is thriy- ing.
 Small Ranges Open
 There are opportunities for many small outfits a tthe heads of bays where abundant feed in the form of silage can be put up for winter use" he said. "On the hillsides adjacent there are suit able areas for grazing of small floeks of animals.
 Small outfits cannot be isolat- ed from established transporta- ton lines. They must have some means by which provisions can be brought in and the annual wool clip can be shipped out. It ap- pears that enough small outfits will eventually locate on such bays in these islands so that it will be a paying proposition for a commercial boat to make month- ly calls to serve them. Until this development takes place, it will be necessary for them to limit their operations to the vicinity of ports which now have a regular transportation service.

inspection of the work at the Mata- nuska and Fairbanks Experimental Stations.
 Ideal for Dairyine
 Tn his studies in the interior, af- fecting the Panama and Matanus- ka Valley farmers, Dr. Alberts paid attention to a number of problems affecting crop marketing, the selection of crops capable of being grown profitably and ad. vising them as to what lines of endcavor held out the most prom ise for financial reward.
 These sections are the big dairy ing regions of the future for Alas ka, eaid Dr Alherts.

It has proven sue eessful and more and more farmers are turning their attention te dairying. Conditions are favor able for substantial development of this industry on an eyer-increas- ing scale.

He closed the station maintained there for several years and re-opened the old station at Kalsin Bay, 15 miles south The work done in the past at Kodiak, consisting Of experiments in dairying. was sus- pended.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN. Conn. September 10
Corporations listed on the New York
Stock Exchange have gained million
common stockholders within the past
five years. A survey of the stockholders
lists indicate that most of these new
owners are permanent investors,
"strong-boX holders" who get their div
idends quarter after quarter.
This information supplements the re-
cent estimate by Stone & Webster and
Blodgett that investors in common
stocks in the United States have in
creased thirtyfold in Is years, from
100000 in 1918 to Is 100000 in 1923,
while the population increased only %
per cent.
Along with this increase in indi-
vidual holders has come the rise Of
American investment trusts. OF these
investment trusts there were only eight
in 1913. only II in 1918 and 30 in 1924.
The bulk of them have sprung up
within the past three years and the
number is constantly increasing.
