Bliss of the department of the interior
today instructed the commissioner of
education to have the reindeer now at
Teller Station, Alaska, which have
been broken to work, forwarded to st.
Michaels to be held there for use In
forwarding supplies to the Klondike
country in case Of emergency. There
are about eight OF the deer which it
is believed by the administration can
be utilized in this way, and the opinion
prevails that they would be much more
useful than dogs, because they travel
much more rapidly, draw more and
can live on the little forage the coun-
try produces. The secretary says that
each reindeer will carry about 300
pounds and will travel a hundred miles
day. They are to be sent to St
Michaels in preference to other places
because of the available stores at that
point.
