EUBANK LEAVING ON ALASKA TRIP, ALEUTIAN BOUND
Ogden Insurance Man to Make Inspection of Sheep Operations
OGDEN, Utah, June 20.-For the first time since war began with Japan, Carlyle C. Eubank is going to get a look at his sheep operations in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska.
Eubank, Ogden insurance dealer, said he will leave today for Seattle and then fly from there to Anchorage, thence to the Island of Umnak in the Aleutians. He plans to spend two weeks at Umnak.
Before the war's outbreak, Eubank had built up his flocks of heavy-fleeced sheep to more than 12,000, despite such hardships as carnivorous ravens and freezing winters. But after evacuation of his Eskimo herders from Umnak, the flocks shrank to 3,500 at the last count.
After the U. S. Army drove the Japs from the Aleutians, Eubank arranged for soldiers with stock experience to shear his sheep and some G. I.'s earned as much at $800.
