“The trip was a very enjoyable
one to me. The weather generally
; was fine and the officers and men
; of the snip most capable and cour
teous. I was at Unalaska and Bris
t 'l Bay 15 years ago and have not
n there since until making the
believeable. Those who had their
Kor.i-'k Island region where the
salmon run this season was abnor
mally light, the country to the west
has enjoyed a fair degree of pros
perity. At Unalaska particularly

j “Everyone reports that the herr- ;
jing came this year into the harbor
jat Unalaska in numbers almost un
believeabie. Thos who had their
| gear on the ground at the time the
run began made small fortunes, i
And the herring came in equal
numbers in all of the bays and har
oors on Unalaska Island. About
! 3*1,000 barrels of herring were pack
jed, but all with whom I talked say !
| that these 32,000 barrels do not
constitute one percent of the herr- j
ing that appeared in the waters of
fthe Island during the run. The
herring are very large, which indi- ! |
rates, since herring do not mature
until between the ages of five and
eight years, that they are old fish.
The run did not last long, but suffi
cTnt fish were taken in ponds to
lest the plants for weeks. At the
.time we left the Donna Lane was
packing fish that had been in the
■ ponds for more than five weeks,
J “I believe that within the next
.generation the Aleutian Islands will
! all, or nearly all, be devoted to
' sheep and cattle ranching. A be
ginning has already been made.
iFcople who hvae not been there do

waters of the Japan current. In
latter September , when we left
there, the hills and valleys were as
green as in midsummer. The snow
fall is light and usually does not
remain long on the ground. The
grass is plentiful and nourishing.
Men who are familiar with the re
gion estimate that it will support
’,000,000 sheep, besides cattle and
horses. The sheep ranchers say

United States.
