among them assures us. however. that
they seem to be perfectly contented in
their round little huts with conical
tops and one narrow doorway.
TO begin with, they have strange
garments made of sealskin. or the
skins of reindeer, bears, foxes. and
even dogs. Beneath their outer suits
they wear more fur clothes. with the
hair turned inside. and stockings Of
reindeer skin. The boys and girls
look almost exactly alike. and at this

The capacity of the reindeer for
team work is remarkable. His hoofs
are very broad and do not penetrate
the snow crusts His average weight
is about 400 pounds. He will swiftly
draw Il sled carrying 600 pounds, and
with this load can cover thirty, fifty
and even ninety miles a day The rein

or at any stopping place he is turned
loose and at once breaks through the
snow to the white moss. which serves
as food. 1t costs nothing to feed
them. AS the white settlements in

Alaska, and in many places remote
from railway and steamboat Transport
tation. the reindeer express will be one
of the most important factors in terri
tOrial life.
