SEA TRIP ON SMALL BOAT,
SAFE AND SOUND
KODIAK, July 25, (Special to
Gateway)—A shipment of wool to
the states this week from the Ab
berts ranch, four miles south of
Kodiak shows the tangible results
of stockraising on the island but
brings once more to attention the
difficulties that are besetting the
paths of these pioneer stockmen of
the westward.
Altho grass is growing waist high
in the uplands Mr. Abberts says he
is compelled to keep his 300 head
of sheep in the home pasture be
cause the large Kodiak bear are
ranging close and he has not yet
been able to stage a “protective”
bear hunt. The cattle continue to
range close to the ranch, fearing to
go into the hills, eating off the for
age that should be theirs for the
winter, in spite of the pronounce
ment that “the bear is not a killer”.
Abberts declares it is impossible for
him to attend to his ranch duties
by day and stand guard with a rifle
on the outskirts of his domain by
night.
He sees one bright spot however,
in the extension of the stockraising
industry out west because of the
remarkable journey of two of his
Romnay rams which were shipped
in January to Unaiaska. They
made this trip of nearly 1,000 miles
on the deck of a halibut boat in the
middle of winter, arriving safe and
sound. There they are reproduc
ing after their kind safe from the
menace that besets sheep and cat
tle in this neck of the woods.
