the missions was therefore both q mon
ey saver to the government and valua-
bile In aiding hte natives to support
themselves. And as in Labrador there
are the Moravian and Grenfell missions
the same policy could be adopted. The
spped of the deer Is attested by their
work on the Alaskan mail routes where
they do much better than dogs. Be-
tween Eaton and Nome. a round trip
of $50 miles. over a rough country
without roads or trails. the average
time for the deer to cover the route is
thirteen days. while 1t takes the dogs
eighteen or twenty. Last winter twen-
ty-four round trips were made on two
mail routes. and third. of fifteen hun
dred miles, was also covered. Their
endurance is proved by an experiment
undertaken in 1898 by w. A. kellman,
who left the breeding station origin
ally established by DR.. Jackson at
Port Clarence. drove his deer south
ward one thousand miles OF, the rough
est and barrenest country in Alaska
within three months. the deer subsist-
ing on lichens and moss which they
dug with their hoofs from beneath the
snow.
Such are the animals which DR..
Grenfell proposes to introduce into
Labrador, and with the advantages he
has in the experience of DR.. Sheldon
Jackson and the success of the move
ment in Alaska, there is little II any
doubt that the project will be quite as
successful in Labrador as it has in AL
aska. 1t is understood that the New
foundland government will. if the
scheme proves feasible, provide such
financial aid for it as is within it's
power, and 1t may be reasonably con-
cluded that within few years the
foundation will be laid for an econo-
mic revolution in Labrador which
should in time do for the Esquimaus
and other settlers there what the rein
deer have already done for Lapland
and Siberia.

whose efforts thus far to ameluraIe the
land have won him such we'll deserved
recognition. His newest project is to
introduce the reindeer into that coun-
try as transport animal in place Of
the savage man-eating dogs which at
present perform that duty THERE.
These terrible dogs have a large

Of wolf and dog. and they make excel
lent draft animals, provided they can
be kept in subsection. But this is diff
ficult, as their natural ferocity is al
ways breaking out. and woe to the man
who becomes the subject of it. Only
few days ago the shocking news was
received here that these ravenOus
beasts had killed and partly eaten
five persons in Labrador within few
weeks. One was fisherman. aged
thirty-five years. who went into the
forest alone with a specially vicious

to bring out firewood, and was set up
on by the creatures and destroyed,
though he fought desperately with his
axe against them. killing two. splitting
another's head and wounding several
and it required the united efforts of
six of his comrades to get the mangled
body out of their snarling fangs. An
other case was the killing and eating
of an elderly man. his wife and his
grandson by pack of dogs, by which
they were being conveyed to a station
some miles distant The dogs returned
home thirteen days after starting. and
their harness was entangled with bits
of human clothing. Search was made
for the victims, but without avail. The
third case was that of woman who
met the same fate while on her way to
visit a neighbor residing half mile
from her home. The dogs attacked
her on the way. pulled her down and
tore he into fragments.
These are only the latest cases. DR..
Grenfell himself records the fact that
last December the matron of his hos
pital at Battle Harbor was thrown
down and attacked by them. and but
for the fortunate arrival of a man with
an axe would probably have persisted.
He, too, notes that at Hebron they

COUNTY UNIT BILL.

The whisky people have the
strongest LOBBY at Frankfort they
have there had in many years, the
main object being to defeat the
county unit bill now before the
Legislature. This bill provides
that all votes upon the question Of
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors must be taken the entire
county, thus preventing the people
of any particular precinct or locality
having saloons, to the entire coun-
ty. In other words, a vote to
keep saloons out of a town would
have to be taken by all the pre-.
cincts in the county, thus making
the entire county dry. That the
proposition is a good one, all lovers
of law and order will readily agree
but the whisky people are fighting
it, as it means black eye to their
business.
