,. RAISING REINDEER I'm ALASKA. >.

Siberians had herds of reindeer 10 fall
back upon when game was scarce.
The following winter DR. Jackson
brought the matter before Congress, and
asked for an appropriation with which
10 import a few deer into Alaska as an
experiment. The Government could not
see the wisdom of this plan. but several
private individuals raised S2,O00, with
which the experiment was begun. Later
the Government relented and made an
appropriation, which has been increased
till its amounts TO $4,000 annually.
The next difficulty was TO persuade the
natives OF Siberia 10 part with any Of
their deer. After the expedition had
sailed for fifteen hundred miles along
the Siberian coast IL al last succeeded
in finding a native who would barter the
deer for American goods. Cash he
would not accept. This trouble has been
overcome in a measure, though there is
still reluctance on the owners part 10
spare any of their stock.
The profits of reindeer raising are
enormous and the work is simple. A doe
which will cost its owner less than a
dollar a year for the first fo.,r years
will at the end of that time sell at the
mines for $50 TO $iO0 for meat. II it
be trained 10 the sled 1t will be worth
twice as much. They are prol &c, and
after they are two years old will add
fawn TO the herd every year for ten
years On account of their timid and
Gregarious habits the reindeer are easily
herded. and one man can easily manage
1000 head The COW gives a teacupful
of very rich milk about the thickness Of
cream. which makes delicious cheese and
mixed with water forms refreshing
drink.
Though the Alaskan deer cannot equal
those of Lapland in speed. a pair of
them can pull load Of 500 to 700 pounds
at the rate of thirty-five miles a day and
keep it up for weeks. They can travel
The Washington times., 1906-04-29

at night as well as in the day so that
during the long Arctic nights they make
transportation possible, whereas a dog
team does not. They can also be used
for packing and for riding when one be
comes accustomed 20 the motion
The United States Government loan a
certain number OF the deer TO the mis-
sions or TO people who have shown
their ability 10 care for them. At the
md Of three or five years the Govern
ment has the right TO call for the re-
turn of the original number The Con
gregational mission at Cape Prince of
Wales was granted the loan of 100 deer
in 1894. Since then il has paid them
back and has 1000 head in its own right.
The possession of a herd at each mis-
sion station means much II estah-
fishes the permanence of the mission,
for without it the natives are from
home large part of the time in search
of food. And since the advent of the
miners the tendency is to leave their
homes and go 10 the mining villages,
where they live by begging and i'm
morality. This life would soon result
in their extinction. II also gives the
missionaries the ability 10 reward in
dustry by establishing those so inclined
in the reindeer industry and promoting
their well being.
The herd also means a supply of fresh
meat for consumption where the food is
mostly salted or canned. This is no
small benefit TO comfort and health
The reindeer also provides the mission
aries with way of reaching the out
lying settlements.
What the camel is to the desert the
reindeer is to the Far North The full
development OF the mining interests in
Alaska cannot be realized until there
are sufficient deer in that region TO
supply the miners with food and other
necessaries and connect him with the
outside world
The Washington times., 1906-04-29

- HOUGH it is not more than fifteen
years ago that the reindeer was
transported from Siberia to Alas
ka the enterprise has passed the
initial stage Of experiment. Despite the
doubt thrown upon IL. the scheme was
prosperous from the very first. and
though it's original motive was purely
philanthropic. it has become a valuable
industrial enterprise.
The beginning and growth of the idea
is not generally known. DR.. Sheldon
Jackson. while making a trip of inspec-
tion Of schools in Alaska in 1S90 was
impressed with the fact that the natives
in Alaska were rapidly losing the
sources OF their food supply. The
whales were going farther north each
year. beyond the reach OF the natives,
who had no vessels TO aid them in the
pursuit: the seals were rapidly being ex-
L--:-.tinated, and the Eskimo n1cSt often
travel fifteen or twenty miles in the
winter to catch even one. The wild carl
bou. which had formerly been so easily
captured. had been frightened away by
the methods of modern hunters. and
was seldom seen. And not only was the
food supply becoming a serious question,
but that OF clothing as well. for the
whalebone. ivory tusks. sealslins. and
oil had been the coin which purchased
the warm reindeer skin for clothing
from the Siberians across the strait
1t did not take DIR. Jackson long to
decide that the United States would
soon have to choose between feeding
10000 natives or letting them starve to
death, the former alternative being ex-
pensive because OF the distance from
any source of supplies The idea Of maxi
ing the Eskimos seif-supporting came
to him from the fact that the Sfberians.
Just across the strait, living under
exactly the same conditions. were able
to care for themselves. The difference
between them lay in the fact that the

Tended both in parliament and in

they were with tongue and pen.
Anyone in political life was likely
to find himself involved in a con

or dead shot Clemencean never
avoided such encounters. And he
was known as a foeman worthy any

type should have come to the top
during the trouble times that fol-

and a darling of French society.
His wit makes him a delight TO all
who come in contact with him, and
he seems to be equally at home in
the forum. the editorial chair, and
the drawing room.
But his career has not been en-
tirely unclouded. The smoke from
the great Panama scandal obscured
him in 1898. He lost his seat in
the chamber and for about ten
years remained in olIscurity.
Strangely enough it was another of
the great French scandals. the
Dreyfuss case, that restored him TO
public favor, and that promised at
first to make an absolute political
corpse Of him. He threw himself
into the case with all the ardor Of
his temperament. into the unpOpu-
lar side when it was most UnpOpu-
lar. and probably himself contribut-
ed much toward bringing about
more just and reasonable public
opinion, which eventually restored
him to public favor and sent him
TO the senate.
Physically he is described by T.
P. OConnor as follows: Il spent
three pleasant weeks in his society
once at a continental resort. and I
had an opportunity of studying his
intensely interesting and striking
personality. He looks what he is.
