Alaska before the American public with
great prominence. One of these was
the information that the miners in the
Yukon valley were without a sufficient
supply of provision to last during the
coming winter. After weighing various
plans the government found that the
only possible solution was to take the
reindeer trained to harness, that were
in the neighborhood of st. Michael, and
with them freight provisions to the
miners from the abundant supplies
stored at ST Michael, located on the
coast of Bering sea, sixty miles above
the mouth of the yukon. Hence orders
were issued by the war department late
in September directing Lieut.. Col. Ran
DALI U. s. A, in charge Of a detach-
ment of troops at st. Michael, to take
charge of the reindeer and with them
send food to the starving miners on
the Yukon. These arrangements were
no sooner consummated than tidings
came from the Arctic coast of Alaska
that eight whaling vessels, carrying
crews aggregating about 400 men, had
been unexpectedly caught in the ice,
and the men were in danger of starva-
ton.
Many plans We're proposed for a re-
lief expedition, but it was found that
no plan was practicable that was not
based upon the reindeer Accordingly

formation has been received here that
the states Of the Greater Republic Of
Central America are about to extend
their union so as to give il all the at
tributes of a sovereign nation. AT
present the three countries forming the
union, Nicaragua. Salvador and Hon

diplomatic relations with the outer
world while each country maintains its
own separate government Of internal
affairs. This has created the impress
sion that the greater republic was
merely an alliance Of three republics
but not republic in itself. 1t has been
the chief cause Of trouble in sending

The Importance of the reindeer in the
development of Alaska cannot be over
estimated. This is true whether looked
upon from the side of humanity, utility
or commercial value. The native peo-
pies occupying Northern Alaska were
brought to a condition of semi-starva-
ton through the persistent destruc-
ton of the whale by the whalers and
the rapid killing off of bearing ami
mails through the Introduction of
breech-loading firearms. The days
when they can support themselves and
families comfortably by fishing and
hunting are past, and a change in
their method of subsistence has become
absolutely necessary. This change can
be secured by the Introduction of herds
of domestic reindeer and the education
of the native population in their care
and management.
A careful computation, based upon
the statistics of Lapland, where SINH
lar climatic and other conditions exist,
show Northern 2nd, Central Alaska to

The great mining interest of central
Alaska cannot realize it's fullest de-
velopment until the reindeer are in
troduced in sufficient numbers to do
the work of supplying the mines with

miner speedy communication with the
outside world. 1t now takes from fifty

One of the most startling discoveries
of this end of the century is that nil
crobes required to make frst-class
butter. Bacillus No. Al /, is the scien-
tific term, or artificial culture. Z This
startling microbe theory was first adj
vanced by a person who came from
Denmark to lecture on the art OF but
ter-making. The theory, which was.
received with scorn, is now advocated
by many scientists, and many creamer
les now invest in the culture. 4 In
one state alone, Iowa, twenty eight
creameries are using the culture. One

creamery. June butter, as is we'll
known, is in flavor about the best pro
duced during the year, and the effect
of bacillus No. Al upon June butter
| was therefore especially interesting.
EARLY in June, when the amount Of
cream collected by the creamery was
very large, two large watts full of cream
were collected. One of these was in
oculated with No. Al and the other
was uninoculated. They were then
both allowed to stand in the same
room, at the same temperature for the.
same length of time, to ripen, and we're
subsequently churned. The effect of
No. Al even here was striking. Both

expected, an excellent quality of but

nounced and more agreeable than that.

superior to that made without it. This.

had the slightest hesitancy in deciding
that No. Al made the superior quality
of butter. Experiments in improving
the quality and flavor Of butter have
been made with over 100 different
species of germs, but it was not until
