VESSEL SET FOR i
' MH VOYAGE
Supply ship for one of the
strangest “ranching” companies
in the world, the steel motor
ship, Aleutian Native, is ready for
jp her maiden voyage in the ser- j
vice of the Kanaga Ranching Co., ;
of Seattle and Alaska.
The vessel, formerly the Chief
of Portland, was recently pur
chased by Capt. Harold E. Bow- ;
man, president of the Seattle
company and taken to the plant
of the Lake Union Dry Docks:
and Machine Works, where a j
complete overhauling and re- j
building has been going forward.
Work on the ship will cost
more than $100,000 and included,
will be the installation of twin 200
h. p. Washington-Estep Diesels,
ton-Estep Diesels.
EXPANSION MOVE
The purchase of the new ship
is another move in the expan
4 sion program of the Seattle and
Alaska firm which averages a
fur “crop” of $250,000 a year, j
Last season two new vessels were :
built to serve as tenders among |
the islands on which the com- i
pany has its fur ranches and sta- !
tions and operating in conjunc-l
tion with the Iskum, heretofor the !
largest craft of the fleet. This
season the company has added
another station, Captain Bowman
says, one at Unimak Island, mak
ing four of these “ranches.”
Captain Bowman will command
the Aleutian Native, which will
be the supply ship for the smal
ler tenders in the Aleutian, and
Capt. Glen Dempsey, master of
the Iskum, will go as first offic
er taking with him the balance
of the crew of the Iskum. The
latter vesseel, due about August
18, will lay up for a few months,

BRINGS DOWN FURS
On her previous trip this spring
the Iskum brought down the
winter’s take of furs totaling 24,
000 blue fox skins and many
other valuable pelts. The total
value of these furs was more
than $250,000 and as many are
expected for the coming season.
The Aleutian Native has six
state rooms installed for the com
fort of officials and employes
bound to the far tips of the
Aleutian chain.
Captain Bowman said that the
Aleutian Chief would be ready
this month to sail with a cargo
of winter supplies for the com
pany’s stations. The vessel is
of particularly strong construc
tion and will be well suited for
the heavy weather, she may be
forced to encounter.
