The Reindeer in Ala,ka.

WASHINGTON CITY. Dec. E.-tSpecial. l.
There is one little protected industry
which the government has of its very own
and in which as yet it has no competition
that is the Importation and propagation
of reindeer at Port Clarence. Alaska, for
domestic purposes. One Miner w. Bruce,
formerly a news gatherer on the Omaha
Bee. gifted with a fertile Imagination and
author of marvellous story OF an ice
covered city discovered by him in the in
terror OF Alaska, iirst conceived the idea.
He succeeded in getting an appropriation
from the government for the purpose of
going to Siberia and buying a herd of
reindeer. There were philanthropists in
the interior department in those days. and
$4,000 year was appropriated for the
maintenance of these animals and es-
pecialiy of their keepers. The following
Endorsement of the work accompanies
suggestion of an increase in the amount
of the annual appropriation to $4,000:
"The experiment. of introducing domes-
ticated reindeer into Alaska as a food sup
ply and for other uses, begun IN 1891. has
thus fer proved successful. The herd es-
tablished at Port Clarence numbered last
fall lis deer. They stood the winter re-
markabiy well, showing an increase of
seventy-nine fawns and bat eleven deaths,
while in their native Siberia many thou
sands of deer had died of starvation. 1t is
found that the actual expense of support
ing the station for one year amounts to
$1,000. 1t would seem wise, therefore. to
provide larger sum for the purchase of
animals in order that the country may be
rapidly stocked with them"
Notwithstanding this specious plea
there will be no increased anpropriation
and it is more than likely that the rein
deer now in Alaska. as we'll as Mr.. Bruce,
may hereafter have to shift for themselves.
