Eight Montanans
Start Cattle Ranch
In Big Delta Area
FAIRBANKS, OP) — Some hardy
Montana ranchers have hitched
their wagon to a northern star.
In a modern version of the
covered wagon era, they have
parked their trailer and pitched
their tents along the Alaska
Highway to cut a big scale cattle
ranch from the wilderness.
The party from Great Falls—
eight men and a housewife — is
headed by two sons of Montana
pioneers—A1 Remington and Ro
land (Red) Harper. Mrs. Harper
was the lone woman to set out
from Great Falls for the frontier
adventure.
Residents of the Big Delta area
telephoned that the well-equipped
“wagon train” had set up camp
at Clearwater Creek, about 107
miles south of this interior city.
It probably was one o'f the best
equipped groups ever to set out
on a northern homesteading ven
ture. The equipment carried on
the seven trucks included a saw
mill, shingle mill, power plants,
tractors—and two horses.
They also brought along a ton
and a half of grain and grass
seed and a ton and a half of seed
potatoes.
The men said, before starting
northward, they intend to build
homes and farm facilities and
then start the livestock experi
ment by bringing 70 head of beef
cattle north this fall.
Remington expressed confid
ence the livestock can survive
without shelter in the climate
where the mercury sinks to 50 or
more below in the sub - Arctic
winter.
If the animals survive the win
ter in good shape, and the ven
ture shows promise, they plan to
bring more cattle north next
spring.
Each of the men will be able
to acquire homestead rights to 160
acres under the federal land laws.
They will be able to get additional
areas of grazing land under lease,
if, in the gold prospectors’ lingo,
they strike “pay dirt.”
Korean Hill Named For Lighter
NEWARK, N.J., —A manu
facturing firm here'has been noti
fied by the Marine Corps that a
hill on the Korean battlefront
has been named after the cigarette
lighter it makes.
The name (Ronson hill) was put
on maps after a leatherneck went
on several lone patrols to retrieve
the lost lighter his girl gave him
before he left the States.

Charge of Moral Turpitude
Stricken In Disbarment
Of Ketchikan Attorney
JUNEAU, OP)—One charge was
stricken from the record and an
other was taken under advise
ment Monday in disbarment pro
ceedings in federal district court
here against Ketchikan attorney
W. C. Stump.
Opening a hearing here on
Stump’s motion to dismiss the
proceedings, Federal Judge Geo.
W. Folta ordered a charge of
conduct involving moral turpi
tude deleted from the records.
After the all-day hearing, Judge
Folta took under advisement the
remaining charge that Stump vio
lated ethics of the legal profes
sion.
The charge stemmed from a
dispute over a bill introduced in
the 1953 Territorial Legislature to
abolish the Alaska Development
Board, of which Stump was a
member. The bill passed the
House 18-5 but was killed in the
Senate.
William Boardman, Ketchikan
insurance man and Republican
representative in the legislature,
testified Monday that Stump con
tended he (Boardman) was re
sponsible for House passage of
the bill.
Boardman said Stump resented
his voting for the bill. He testi
fied the lawyer had told he would
see to it that Boardman would
lose the business of insurance
clients Stump had placed his way.
Boardman quoted Stump as
saying: “You are done for in
Ketchikan.”
V. R. Milligan, Ketchikan credit
bureau manager, testified that
after Boardman’s vote to abolish
the board, Stump told him he was
going to Juneau to “tell Board
man off” and that if the legis
lator didn’t change his attitude
Stump would cancel an insur
ance policy on which he paid a
$500 premium and would see to
it that his clients did likewise.
