st. Lawrence islnnd has the
promise of 100 reindeer. Mr.. Gam

sired SO much for transportation
purposes as to ward off starvation.
Not long ago nearly half the pop

but when the reindeer come
and are plentiful there will be no
starvation. Before the white ira
ders came and the walrus was kill
ed off the natives had plenty to
eat. Now, however, they may be
without a winters supply at any
time. Accordingly the reindeer,
which furnishes milk, meat and
clothing, and lives upon the natur-
al moss of the country, Is to be in
troduced. Last winter a friend of
Mr.. Gambell travelled 1000 miles
by reindeer. He left the govern
ment reindeer station near the
Bering straits, and drove across
over half of Alaska, coming out
near Cook Inlet and Copper river.
He enjoyed the trip and reports

the sympathy was well divided. The

defence of their position and did so, but
the Lindens after trailing the club until
the last frame of the first game came
on with a rush in the tenth bowling III

in against James Dunno, Jr., and James
Fitzgerald. The local team, started the
scoring and made 4 aces. Then Dunno
and Fitzgerald got in for a well-played
bunch of Z. Their rivals went Out for /
and the youngsters ran their string up to
10. Casey and Carney almost tied them
with a cluster of 4, but the other pair then
ran clean away and won by II aces.
The second game was a prolonged
struggle, and ten innings were played be-
fore Casey and Carney reached q to their
opponents 10. The veterans stuck to
their scoring streak and took the next
game by five aces: Dunno and Fitz-
gerald then rallied and ran out the next
game in four innings with a score of II to

for the purpose of acting upon a number
of matters which had been hanging fire
before the Board for some time. A pc
tition was received from the Fifth Ward
Republican Committee to divide the Sec

two additional precincts. The petitioners
stated that at the last election each pre-

Mayor Pagan vetoed a bill of $173.67, a

julius S. Steiber, who formerly kept a sa-
loon in Washington street. The license
of the place was revoked some time ago
and Steiber demanded that part of the

The games that marked the Jersey

Wheelmen and the Lafayettes, were of a

The Clio Wheelmen handled the ball with
excellent command and rolled totals tina
compared well with any of the season at
this resort for bowlers. The club showed
can be relied on in the future to make
matters interesting for any of the clubs
that attack them on thei roWn battle
ground. The Lafayettes made an excel

close at all times to keep their opponents
at work. The first game was won by the
