LAKE STE AGNES, April 26. (P)- The three aviators who were the first to make the Westward crossing of the Atlantic in a plane are at last free from the isolation of Greenly Island and headed toward the acclaim which the world has waited to give them.
 They are expected to arrive here at o'clock this afternoon. They took off in the Ford relief plane leaving the Bremen behind on the little island unable to take the air because, of lack of skis.
 Bernt Balehen pilpted the relief plane An hour later he was sighted over Harrington; at II o'clock over Natashquan, 235 miles west of Green ly Island. His plans were to circle the lake until he observed a signal whether the ice was strong enough for the plane to land; if not he was to continue on to Quebec, 80 mles away.

WYOMING SHEEP MEN INTEREST ED ALASKAN RANCH EXTENT
 OF SUPPLYING ANIMALS

With the establishment of perma- nent and profitable livestock industry on the Kodiak group which now seems assured, and which is backed by Out side capitalists and stockmen, feel that we are fashioning an entering wedge that will eventually open the way for Alaska development in sev- eral directions We are proceeding slowly but the results already achiev- ed, with nearly 15,o00 sheep and d number of cattle thriving and multi plying, show that we are on the right track. It Is the fore-runner of a vast agricultural development limited only to the hundreds of islands along the Alaska Peninsula where grazing areas are available. The profits are not immediately forthcoming but after three or more years of experiment, the sheep have demonstrated a heavy woodworking facility and the increase in lambs is comparable to Outside re- cords. It will not be long before we have 50,0OO to 100000 head, grazing the year around with wool and cold storage lamb shipments direct to New York and Boston markets"
 Such was the enthusiastic prognos- tication of Jack McCord, ,6head of the McCord Alaskan Company of New York and Seward, before he departed yesterday on the s. s. Admiral Evans for Sitkalidak Island. He goes to this privately leased estate, off the south east corner of Kodiak Island, to sup erintend the construction fo landing dock and prepare for the summers campaign. The McCord Alaskan Co.,, has already established itself there with number of cattle and sheep and a blue fox farm. The chief business this summer is preparation for the re- ception of 1000 head of high grade sheep that will be shipped from Wyo- ming the cutting of hay for reserve feed supply, the construction of neces- sary buildings and the laying out of plans for the Furnishing of fresh beef and mutton for the fishing colonies around the Kodiak group.
 McCord is largly responsible for getting thru Congress the necessary grazing and fur farm regulat ton that will make this development possible.
 Tt was while I was engaged at Washington" he explained, 'that I succeeded in interesting certain Wall Street financiers in the idea of help ing to develop Americas last frontier I explained that we were now getting back to Asia where the course. of en- pire had it's start and the idea appeal ed to them.
