The pastors of the city met in
annual organization meeting at the
ME-. church Monday morning. The of.
ficerS elected were: Rev. DeLong,
president: Rev. Upson, secretary: Rev.
Hartman, treasurer. The association
has arranged to meet bi-weekly at
which time they Will discuss current
topics, literature and other subjects
of Importance.
Outside of Center township there is
very little change in the majoritieS in
this county as compared with two
years ago. The precincts in this city
all made large democratic gains. A
few years ago the republican organi-
zation in this township which we are
told did not know Anything about pol
itics, was able to secure a republican
majority of about 10 in the township.
We took occasion time and again
during the campaign to remind the
voters that no better ticket was ever
presented than the republican county
ticket which has just gone down in
defeat. We want to reiterate that
statement, and say it is no time for
Encouragement. a republican or
ganization will yet be made in this
county that, will win republican vic
tories.
The democrats elected O'Keefe and
Lemert Notwithstanding the efforts Of
Mr.. Metsker to prevent their election.
Every democrat in the vicinity of Ply
mouth was pressed into service and
there is no telling what the plurality
would have been had the force not
been hampered by the young editor.
As fast as MetSker could fix sample
ballots for pretending friends the
workers would secure them and will
have them framed and laid away un-
til judgment day in the near future.

Our Reindeer Industry.

Alaska. There were none in 1890:
only l43 in 1892; 1000 in 1896, and
1928 in 1900. DR.. Sheldon Jackson s
last report shows that the reindeer i'm
ported from Siberia and Lapland are
thriving in Alaska, and the fact that
there were last year 1000 births in
the herd answers the objection that
the reindeer would not take kindly to
Alaskan climate and conditions, and
justified the claims of those who have
contended that the reindeer industry
would become one of the most impor-
tant in our great Northwestern terri
tory.
When Dr. Sheldon Jackson went
to Alaska, in 1890, for the purpose of
establishing schools, he found the
Eskimo population dying off from star
vation. The whalers and walrus
hunters had so diminished the food
supply on the coast that the country
was in danger of becoming depopulat-
ed. DR.. Jackson recommended as a
system of permanent relief the i'm
portatiOn of domestic reindeer from
Norway and Siberia.
His theory was that if the reindeer
could be domesticated in Alaska there
would be rapid increase in the herds
and the animals would furnish the ma
tiyes with transportation, with cloth
ing and with food.
1t was difficult to make congressman
believe this. and the first importation
of reindeer was made in 1892 at pri-
vate expense, the government furnish
ing revenue cutter to bring the an
imals over. Later congress made ap-
preparations to forward the work and
now the government has 5000 REIN
| deer in Alaska.
The deer have been need to forward
a system of industrial education.
They have been loaned in herds of 100
or less to the several missionary sta
tion or industrial schools where young
natives are trained in the manage
ment and propagation of reindeer. the
stations to own the increase. Deer
have also been transferred to natives
on the same plan. In 1900 the govern
ment had 644 reindeer: 1,1S4 were at
mission stations, and 1.495 in possess
sion of native graduates of the in
dustrial schools.
OF the 5000 reindeer now in Alaska,
all except l 200 are native born. The
latter are larger and stronger than
the Siberian or Laplander deer, and
many of them are being used in gen.
eral transportation, on mail routes,
and for domestic use. The reindeer
mail service, taking in routes of 1, 200
miles into the wilderness, has been a
notable success, and the freight routes
between mining camps have been SER
viceab1e and profitable.
The Importance Of this is that the
successful introduction of reindeer in
Alaska opens up great commercial
industry. The wealth Of Lapland is
in its 400, 1000 reindeer, from which
are sent everv year %, 900 carcasses to
the butcher shops Of northern Europe.
Alaska, with capacity for 5000, 900
reindeer, could supply in the course of
twenty years the American markets
with meat, without interfering with
the activities of Alaskan commercial
life,

that fashion, not only because 1t is the
most becoming for a photograph. but
also because 1t is at the moment the
most popular of all styles in photograph.
