Eskimos are learning the care and
management of reindeer. The inten.
ton is from year to year to increase
the number of Eskimo apprentices
to the herders. The Eskimos who are
learning the business are all young
e AS soon as each of them has
demonstrated his capacity and learned
the business a small herd will be given
to him as a start in life. From year
to year the number of these native
herders will be increased, and some OF
them will be set up in business as
herders on their own account, and in
this way the herds will naturally be.
come more and more distributed
throughout the country, until at last
they overspread the entire northern
region as the northeastern corners OF
Siberia and Lapland are now covered.
There is no doubt that practically the
whole of Alaska is good grazing ground
for reindeer.
The Importation of reindeer is no
longer an experiment. The practica.
bility and advantages of the enter
prise have been demonstrated, and it
will be q great thing for Alaska when
the herding of reindeer is firmly es-
tablished there on a large scale. The
natives will have a permanent, regular
and abundant supply of food. and with
more generous nourishment, the
population is likely to increase in
numbers. Then achange from the CON
dition of hunters to that of herders
will be q distinct advance for the Eski-
mos in the scale Of civilization. Rein
deer easily travel 100 miles a day. and
their introduction will help to solve.
the question Of Alaskan t~ransporta-
ton.

PARTIsANsHP RUN MAD.

At meeting of the board of public
works held yesterday afternoon at an I'M
usual hour and after the announcement
had been made that no meeting would be
held. City Engineer Thomson was sum-
marty removed from Office. The removal
was made by the votes of Commissioners
Cochran and Wolfe, the two Democratic
members of the hoard.
No official explanation Il made to the
public Of the cause of Mr.. Thomson's re-
movai- The pubic are entitled TO such an
explanation. liz he has been an unworthy
Official the public should know il. If, on
the other hand, he has been faithful and
competent. an explanation of his sum-
mary removal is equally TO be desired.
Commissioner Cochran declares that he
voted to remove Thomson because the
pressure was too strong for him to resist.
Commissioner Wolfe declares that he was
removed for INSTRUMENTATION, the insub-
ordination consisting in his failure
TO resign when commanded to do
SOFT by the Democratic heeiers and
their tools in public Office. Secretary
Heifner. more candid or less cautious than
either of the commissioners, says that the
action of the board simply means that q
Democrat has got Thomson's place.
The explanations offered by both Coch-
ran and Wolfe are evasive. insincere and
unsatisfactory. Mr.. Cochran should tell
what the nature OF the pressure brought
10 bear upon him was, from whom it
came and why Ii was too powerful
for him TO resist Mr.. Wolfe should
explain why Mr.. Thomson's resignation
was called for in the first place. Or, bet
ter still, both should cease evasion and
prevarieation and admit that Mr.. Thou.-
son was removed because he stood in the
way of the complete contamination of the
plot TO prostitute the public service
OF this city TO the uses of the
Democratic party and TO make of our
municipal government a machine for the
enrichment of ward heelers at the expense
OF taxpayers. because he refused to intrust
public work to totally incompetent men,
whose only recommendation is that thew
may be depended upon to do such work as
Is required of them. open or shady, legal
or Illegal
This is craftsmanship gone mad. The
time has come for the people 20 demand
an explanation and an accounting from
the wreekers who have seized upon our
city Cover nment.

Mr. l. +. Thompson. of Summer, for
merry state senator from Pierce county,
declared in a recent interview In the Ia
coma ledger that he knew that one bank
in the state was paying six per cent. for
s9eDo OF public money which the Law re-
quges the land commission to invest in
bonds.
OF course. the reference 10 the land com
mission is purely gratuitous and 10 in line
with the senseless and malicious chatter
concerning that body which has been
heard for the past six months. The land
commission is not intrusted with the Gus
tody Of state funds or charged with
their investment Al the funds of the
state are under the control of the state
treasurer and ne alone Is responsible for
them. Mr.. Thompson ought To know this

To THE EpIroR: In an interesting afti-
Gle entitled The Vanishing Moose
writer in the January Censsry makes the
following statement. ''of the vast forests
that once covered the Eastern and North
western states scarcely anything - iei'.
While the remainder Of the article IN
douotediy contains much valuable mate
rial. thu above assertion will certainty
strike Washingtonians as being greatly NJ
variance with the facts 1t Is evident tnaf
the author of The Vanishing Moose can
not Be familiar With the resources OF the
great Northwest. and particularly With
the state Of Washington. or else ne
would not have rendered the above
swesping statement For instance. recent
carefully gathered statistics Of Washing
tons forsst resources place the number OF
standing feet of timber at 40. 600. 000. 900.
of which little over ]. 900, 600 feet are
cut and marketed each year. These fig-
ures are computed up TO and including the
year 1896
thst Washingto forests will become ex-
hansted only about 100 years hence.
OF course some little destruction OF the
woods goes on each year in the line OF cut
ting away and burning timber TO fit the
land for farming purposes; but this occurs
on tracts over which the machinery Of log
ging has already passed and claimed
everything fit for lumber purposes. As to
fuel. it is now pretty generally conceded
that almost as much coal is being used As
wood. especially IN thickiy populated
parts.
But of this little need be said. as only
data in relation to the present condition
of Washington's forests obtain at this
time in relation to the above cited article.
