By Warren Holloway

Through Alaska's roaring days of gold strikes, the era of railway promotions and the present day of development, Jack McCord, a sourdough with a friendly mid-western smile and a broad -brimmed Stetson, has lived in the heat of them all since he left his Iowa farm and entered the Territory in 1906.
 Today he is back on the farm. But not in Iowa.
 He holds an Island Empire where lazy cattle and sheep, bodies heavy with wool, roam the rolly hillsides. On one of his two islands, Sitkalidak, which scrapes the southeastern corner of Kodiak, his livestock feed on rich grazing land, 100000 acres encircled by the ocean. A mar row ribbon of water separates it from Kodiak's Three Saints Bay, the site of the first Russian colony in America, 17S4.
 The island is all his for in 1927, when Congress passed the Alaska Grazing Bill, he was giv- en 8 20-year lease to ranch on Sitkalidak and Chirikof islands, both old in Alaskan history. Since then his herds of cattle a. lone have increased to we'll over a thousand head; this, in Alaska, ''The Land of lee and Snow !"
 An overlooked feature of the Territory, despite the fact that three-fourths of Alaska lies with in the North Temperate zone and may be utilized for the grazing of dairy and cattle herds or for sheep or hogs, those estab- fishing ranches are receiving benefits today for their farsight- edness. What is more import ant, they are giving vital aid to wartime problems of food and shipping.

A few dairy herds are scatter ed in Southwestern and Central Alaska, but McCord's Chirikof cattle ranch claims the distinct ion of being the "Furthest- North-and- Furthest- West Cat tie Ranch in America" Of his beef and it's distribution, the who, what and where cannot be told in detail, but those who have eaten meat from his stock divulge no secret in telling of it's qualities.
 McCord left the plough in Iowa in 1906 to join the gold seekers of the Yukon. He was not there many years when he began to realize promises other than gold in Alaska. When the Copper River Railroad was built, he was among the leaders that did the feat. Rex Beach's Iron TraiT' depicts his role in the character of Dan Appleton.
 Through McCord's promotion, four companies, Standard Oil, General Petroleum, Associated Oil and Honolulu Consolidated dispatched geologists north in 1922 to study oil resources. The project poured millions of dol lars into Alaska.
 There were no ports on the Alaska Peninsula, the scene O the drilling, so the black-gold prospectors made their head quarters at Kodiak which un- derwent its first significant in flux of Americans. It was here with the party of geologists that McCord felt he beckoning of the farm.
 While at Kodiak, 1 visited the small government farm they had then on what is now Signal Hill. The caretaker told me that every bit of feed the livestock needed was contained in the grass It was hard to believe,

McCord CoIorfuI Alaskan Rancher

Although a small setup, it look ed wonderful" McCord became interested and talked to cap tain of a sailing schooner.
 "He described an island, Sit kalidak, just off Kodiak, with pastures of tall, naturally rich grazing grass, ideal as stock food I was anxious to see 1t. I chartered a halibut boat im- mediately and circled and visit ed the island. No one lived there. It looked to be even better cat tie country than I had inn agined."
 Schooled on the farm when 8 lad, McCord had not forgotten the training. He visualized an island ranch on Sitkalidak where the ocean could do the herding: where cattle could sip salt water when they needed salt. For medicine there is kelp and seaweed; for drinking water, cool lakes; for feed, rich native grasses.
 II wanted to settle right then and there," he continued. "but to homestead the island would have been impossible
 So McCord later went to Washington, where, as the rep resentative of Alaska's Chamb- CT of Commerce, he instigated the Alaska Grazing Bill of 1927, permitting ranchers to lease government land for livestock grazing. President Coolidge sent him on 8 special trip from Kodiak through the Aleutians to Attu to report the agricultural conditions of the region. In rec ognition of MeCord's services, Coolidge presented him with the pen he used to sign the bill.
 The same year McCori leased Sitkalidak and Chirikof, the lat. ter located approximately 100 miles southwest of Kodiak is land. He farms blue fox and cat tie on Chirikof, while on Sitka- lIdak he raises cattle and sheep
