Mrs. Margaretta Cox, 10,
widow of former Gov. James
M. Cox, newspaper publisher
and unsuccessful Democratic
candidate for President in 1920,
persisted yesterday in a fire at
her suburban lakewood home.
Mrs. Cox was found un-
conscious in her bathroom. She
was dead on arrival at Miami
Valley Hospital.
She apparently had made her
way to the bathroom after
being awakened by the flames,
which burned her cheek and
earlobe and heavily damaged
her bedroom. She was alcne in
the house.
Smoke Inhalation Blamed
Fire investigators seemed
convinced today that smoke in
halation probably caused Mr..
Cox's death.
They searched through the
rubble of the second floor of
the house in an effort to estab-
lish the cause of the fire. Fire
men in a preliminary report
had said it appeared the blaze
may have originated by smok-

Kodiak mirror., 1960-08-06
By Miriam J. Angell

Several Sundays ago our family was momentarily complete, and in company with friends, we took the route to PaSagshak to call on Freda and Joe Beaty. Forty miles and six gates later we drove past the last fence and onto high meadow carpeted with lupin and wild flowers. A lush green valley slopes down to the sea from surround ing rim of jagged mountains. The Beaty ranch lies at the foot of the valley, few steps from the cliffs of Narrow Cape on Ugak Bay.
 Before the rustic entrance we paused to let Robbie Acheson herd six horses across the road and into a corral. They were as sleek and handsome as any we have ever

Life Not So Lonely At Beatty Ranch With Many Visitors Bears Included

our water supply is by gravity flow and must be watched.
 No, we have no permanent tenant workers. Our boys are here in the summers, we have lots of visitors and some who come to stay awhile and help out, but in winter, just Joe and I are here. It does get lonely, and love to have people come out Many peo- pie go to the fossil beds or to Boat Beach to look for glass balls. We have found a good many but I think the Navy personnel finds more than we do"
 Knowing nothing about ranches, beyond a good dose of Hollywood interpretations, we asked how, what and why Mrs. Beaty told us it is a good life, not without TO-

seen. We passed large barn, built almost entirely of giant driftwood logs, and found a space to park with as much difficulty as we sometimes encounter in Kodiak. Someone had said that visitors to the Beatys are legion; here was the legion!
 Mrs. Beatty welcomed us cordial ly and made introductionS to roomful of friends and relatives. In the comfortable, large living room a ham radio set has a promi- nent place. Did the family make radio contacts on regular sched- ule? "Oh yes, we have daily schedule with ACS. We report weather, and anyone who wants to can reach us then. Of course we can call out anytime If we needed help in a hurry we could get air service right away; Bob Hall can land on our strip or on the lake"
 We wondered how often the road to town was blocked in win ter. Normally we can get out just about anytime we want to. Our driving problems are the same you encounter: icy roads, and once in a while the pass gets blocked with snow. This was particularly true in 1856 when there was so much snow; for eight weeks we couldn't get out"
 We asked how long the Beatys have lived on the ranch and what brought them to Kodiak. We have always liked ranching. We had one in Montana and then decided to go into the furniture business in Casper, Wyoming. We soon realized we preferred the ranch and we drove up the Alcan to Falf- banks to look for one. Joe heard about one on Chirikoff and flew down to look it over but the weath- CT was souped in. Instead, he was able to fly over this one that he had also heard about, and we chose to buy. We moved up in June of 1853. There were a lot of problems right away: the washing machine didn't work, the power plant didn't work and there were new problems every day. Right now our diesel motor is in town to be repaired and there is always something vital to keep going; for example,

28 Women Will
 Be IBIue-NoSes'

TWenty-eight women, most of whom are members of the Officers Wives Club on the Naval Station, will become "Blue-NoseS" shortly after they depart for Nome on Saturday, August 6, according to Mrs. Barbara Richmond, club en- tertainment chairman.
 The flight, a special charter ar ranged through Pacific Northern AirlineS, will take the women to Nome via King Salmon on Satur- day, and return them via Bethel the following day.
 During their stay at Nome, Mrs. Richmond said, they hope to pan for gold at one of the sluices on the famous gold-producing Nome River, and will also take a side trip to the Eskimo village of Kot- zebue
 AS the Kotzebue trip will take them north of the Arctic Circle, she added, they will be eligible to receive the traditional "Blue-Nose" certificate.
 Those going on the flight are Dorothea Caldwell and her guest, Genevieve Rooster of La Jolla, Calf, Winnie Herman, Phyllis DootSon, Estelle Huber, Elaine Dandrea, Betty Breed and her mother-in-law, Irwina Breed of Corning, N. Y, Marge Claborn and Hope Carrithers.

nance and adventure, but there is more pure hard work than any thing else.
 We lease twenty-two thousand acres and we own twenty acres surrounding our home and build ings. We have four hundred and seventy head of cattle and we must have eight or ten horses. There is much riding to do and I ride with my husband quite lot. With cattle in this country, you must check constantly, and there is branding, breeding, calving and Slaughtering to do. We get so busy; sometimes I am just too busy to cook dinner.
 We usually let the COWS graze back into the valleys but this sum- mer we have not let them go so far back because of the bears. Last year we lost five head and the year before that, twenty-two. Those

bears always work when it is foggy and rainy and we can't catch them.
 n winter we run the steers out on the point. We don't bring cows in close to the house until time for them to have their babies and we have to feed and care for them.
 Its hard work, yes, but we love it here and this kind of life. Our sons love the ranch and Alaska; you know that they are both at home for the summer. Billy works at the Chiniak Station now that he is out of the Army, and Jimmy goes to the University of Wyoming. He's studying nuclear physics l have a few hobbies, crocheting, knitting, reading. I play a little bit of piano but cooking is about the best thing I do and 1 do lots of that, we have so many guests"
 We left Mrs. Beatty to visit with her other guests and went to find her husband. Joe Beaty showed us around the buildings and Slaugh- ter house. Substantial investment, long, hard years, constant vigilance and pride have built fine ranch. Near the house is the power plant that supplies twenty,four hour cleo tricity; not far from this, the great barn and network of corrals. Ad- jacent to the corrals is a low, red bunkhouSe; opposite this, the fam fly home. A short walk from these buildings is the slaughter house; to go there we crossed swift running stream which serves practical purpose in the slaughter process The slaughter house is immaculate and hare except for essential equipment. Here, one by one, the steers are shot, bled, strung up, skinned out and quar- tered, then wrapped in sterile canvas shrouds which have been dipped in hot salt water. Not the least of the steps to beef on the table is the inspection by govern ment agent who stamps out most of the Beaty cattle Good Grade.
 We tried some grain fed beef a few years ago but Choice Grade brings only two or three cents pound more than grazed Good Beef, so we gave it up. When we are slaughtering we scrub down the floors and walls constantly and no one in here can smoke or even chew gum. We send some beef by air to Anchorage-the plane lands on our strip-and we sell to Kodiak stores and to the Navy Base" We started back to- ward the house and, impatient to talk about bears, we asked about the cow-bear situation.
 Well, we started out with a herd of about two hundred head and we've built it up more than double that But those bears take an awful toll some years and then
