 Kodiak island. In the following
 article Lloyd Swan tells his ex-
 periences there in his first at tempt at raising sheep locally.) l left the town of Kodiak in
 September, 1943 for Harvester
 island, eighty miles away, where
 1 had taken over ranch with 82
 sheep.
 There was small house and
 other old buildings when I arriv-
 ed and during the winter put Iup new buildings for the spring
 lambing and div ded the fields l with new fences. put up the
 buildings alone and also built a dock. I worked as much as one whole day getting in one piling as 1t all had to be handled by hand and brought up from the beach. It took four months to put in the dock, a necessary ad- iunct to develop the sheep ranch to enable getting in supplies and taking off produce from the ranch.
 1 took the stock over with no feed for the animals and ran them all winter on practica Iy nothing. 1 had IS bales of hay which was shipped in and used during lambing time but the stock carried themselves through the entire winter, an average one, without serious loss. I be- lieve we lost ? sheep, possibly from freezing, which is practical ly no loss at all.
 The first lamb came on April IS and we were entirely through with the band on May 12. After running all winter without feed the lambs and ewes were the pie ture of health. We lost about 12 lambs during lambing season but turne out every eve with a lamb, with four extras
 Climatic conditions on Kodiak island are mild, being less severe than Wyoming, Montana and high parts of Texas and other sheep raising places in the States. After every snowstorm the snow is blown off the higher places, leaving open feeding ground shortly after the storm. The only times we had to feed what little hay and grains we had was dur ing the times a storm was on and it was difficult for the sheep to get out. After each storm, which usually lasted only two or three days, the sheep went out on their own. ]
 Harvester island is separated by a strait from Kodiak island, and there are no predatory ani- mals on it to bother the sheep. They were not bothered by fox, wolves, eagles or crows. We had some doubts as to the dangers of eagles, so we experimented.
 As the first lambs arrived, we

 much as 8 pounds, m some case, others less, but averaging SIX pounds per pelt.
 Tare, which is an estimate of the amount of dirt, silt and for eign matter in the wool, and for which a percentage deduction IS made, amounts to very little. AL aska wool has less tare than any other wool, amounting to about two or three per cent, while in places in the States 1t runs as high as forty per cent.
 There is plenty of good, clean grazing country in this region, almost free of ticks. We do have a very few wood ticks, but there are not enough to warrant dip ping the sheep.
 So far there has been no sign of any of the diseases that ordln- ariIy affect sheep in mere South ern sections
 Jus. four months after the first day of the lambing season we sell ected a medium-sized lamb at random. butchered it, and when dressed it weighed IA 2 pounds. The meat from this lamb was the most delicious and tender I have ever eaten.
 The climate is such that we have plenty of time to put up all the available hay. A large part of the country can be hay land and I believe with blow and mower the amount of hay would be limited to what could be handled with the machinery. I had to cut ours with a scythe in very crude way and it ran a. bout two tons to the acre.
 1 went to- Harvester island in the face of the criticism of many skeptics, who maintained wealth CT conditions were not favorable enough for sheep raising and 1t was purely a new experiment.. But after seeing the situation through for an entire year It has been proved to me 1t can be done, and done cheaper than in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming or Texas. Here the crop of wool is bigger, cleaner and longer and stock is fatter.
 I believe Kodiak island, in general, has vast possibilities and decidedly more economical ad vantages than some of the sheep ranges in the States, especially in regard to quantities of feed needed over the winter season, which amounts to less here
 With a cold storage plant in Kodiak, for which plans are now being laid, the town could be a central point for butchering and shipping The only disadvantage | is the 1900 mile distance to rail head entry into the United | States.

Hotels, however. do not consider
servicemen primarily responsible for
the fact that their losses OF silver
ware, linen and other portables have
almost doubled since Pearl Harbor.
They blame it principally on three
wartime conditions: souvenir hunt

since rationing began-sugar cubes;
but they howl with pain when a door

now very difficult. One manager was
puzzled, though grateful, when a
key was returned recently from
Scotland, with letter saying that
it had been found in a wooden box
floating in Loeb Argyll. Only a fic-
ton writer could figure out how it
got there; or how the sugar cube

Steal? Oh, No!
MANY people have strange psy-
chology about pilfering. You'd be
perfectly safe in leaving your dia-
monds with them, but they feel
that it isn't stealing if they do it
from a corporation. Recently the
restaurant manager of one of the
country's swankiest hostelries was
invited to a private dinner party.
The table was set with silver filched

on the manufacture of hotel equip
ment, there has been a marked in
crease in the number Of fences oper-
ating in big cities - often formerly
honest secondhand dealers. This is
one of the principal reasons why the
sllverware thefts from the Horn and
Hardart chain of restaurants in
New York City have increased. since
Pearl Harbor, from S.. 600 to SIT 900
a month. Sometimes the mark is re-
moved from such stolen silver. but
often the dealers don't take this
trouble. Not long ago the sales man
ager of the Ambassador. in Atlantic
City, and the sales manager of the
Pennsylvania, in New York, went
into a Boston restaurant for lunch.
Each discovered that his spoon was
stolen from his own hotel!
Second to silver losses are those
of linen. though good deal of this
is owing to the carelessness Of guests
who pack up towels with their
clothes. Whatever the reason. it is
serious for the hotels, who face a
wartime shortage of these items.
The Managing Director of the Cali
fornia Hotel Association recently
Evening star., 1944-08-27

decided to do something about this,
He could not communicate with
every civilian guest whom he sus-
pected of walking off with hotel
property, but he might do some
thing about the soldiers.
So he wrote to the Ninth Service
Command. requesting that govern
ment laundry operators return to
his association any hotel towels they
found. Towels arrived marked with
the names of 384 different hotels
in 282 towns and cities. Many towels
had merely the name of the hotel -
and the harassed manager is now
wondering how he is going to re-
turn them to the original owners,
In Self-defense
HOTEL men slft garbage tor silver
that gets mixed up with it, and ar
range with firms which buy garbage
for hog feed to return pieces that
aren't recovered in the sitting. They
discourage the stealing OF such items
as pictures. lamps and rugs by using
styles too big to get into suitcases.
They give what help they can in the
police war against fences; and they
have succeeded, in some places, in
getting laws passed imposing heavy
penalties for stealing from hotels.
Hotel men feel, however, that
perhaps the best hope is an ap-
peal to the conscience of the
public. The mounting thievery
might be halted if people realized
that it was throwing a wrench into
the war effort Says Charles A. Horr-
worth. manager of the American
Hotel Association: 1--WE wish people
would realize how difficult souvenir
hunting makes it for hotels to carry
on. New supplies are very difficult to
obtain. For example, we urgently
need two million pieces of silverware.
eight million hand towels. five mil
lion bath towels - more than we
ever needed before. We feel that to
complicate our difficulties by Dor
rowing what we already have just
isn't cricket"
We think the American sense of
fair play will agree with him.
