That reindeer culture In Alaska
will solve the Eskimo problem If
undertaken for the furs, hides and
flesh and not for transportation pur-
poses, is the opinion of Charles Eli
oft, who has returned from a six
years stay in that territory and who
left for Minneapolis last night after
| short visit in Portland, says the
Oregon Daily Journal.
Mr.. Elliott has made the reindeer
subject a study while in Alaska and
has come to the conclusion that the
efforts Of the government to raise
| the fleet-footed animals for sled
hauling power over the SHOWS of that
country is destined to failure owing
to many adverse conditions.
In the first place dogs are superior
to reindeer as draft animals for many
reasons. They are easier to handle,
eat less and more easily secured food,
require less care and are fleeter of
foot when in front of a sled than are
the reindeer.
Take Too Long to Forage.
For travelling long distances across
the ice and snow fields" said Mr.. Ell
liott, "dogs are the best. They are
more easily handled and mind their
drivers better than do the deer, which
make up their minds to start in a cer-
tain direction and are changed into
the desired course with difficulty.
Again, when reaching a station with
a team of dogs meat is always easily
procured. The dogs eat their rations
and curl up and sleep, waking in the
morning fresh for the next days work.
With the reindeer 1t is different, as
they have to We led some distance
from the town or camp and allowed
to forage around for a small ration
of moss, sometimes taking the most of
the night to appease their hunger,
the result being that they are tired
and sluggish when they take up the
trail the following day, and on long
trips break down If pressed too hard.
"The effort Of the government to
solve the reindeer and Eskimo prob
lem by the DECREASING industry in
the hands of Laplanders is about rs
practicable as 1t would be to import a
band of foreigners to make wooden
shoes for American consumption,
continued Mr.. Elliott. THE Lapland-
ers brought for that purpose are a
drunken crew. of primitive minds.
Their methods OF handling reindeer
are outdated and not practicable to
American use. 1t is true some are
becoming wealthy as a result of their
business, but the Eskimos are secur-
ing little or no benefit from their
work which could be done by white
men with profit.
Use Animals i'm Other Ways.
1.-The use of the reindeer for meat
fur and hides would be profitable
business and in my opinion would
solve the Eskimo problem"
MIR. Elliott left last night for the
east, where he will deliver a series OF
illustrated lectures on Alaska. He 1,
from Iowa, and since going to Alaska
has had his name changed from
Charles Elliott Ryberg to Charles Ell
lott on account Of the confusion re
sulting from the difficulty of pro
nouncing his patronymic.

WARNED BY THE SPIRITS.
Strange Phenomena Brought to Light
After Wyoming Murder.

A dispatch from Rawlins, Wyo.,
concerning the murder of a well
known Mormon bishop last week,
says:
A strange incident in connection
with the killing Of George Terry. the
half-breed member of the Shoshone
council who was murdered two weeks
ago, was a letter which was found on
his person after his death. Terry was
a Mormon bishop and the letter was
from one of the elders of the church
at Sale Lake, doubtless in reply to a
letter sent by Terry, telling Of strange
sights he had seen in the heavens.
The letter stated that the lights
Terry was seeing in the heavens was
his daughter who was trying to warn
him he was in immediate danger OF
his life. This letter formed an almost
uncanny notice to Terry that he was
to be killed.

Each succeeding year discloses
more clearly the magnitude and power
Of cotton raising IN Oklahoma. AL.
ready it has reached nearly half q
hundred million dollars. with a fair
prospect OF being doubled In less than
a decade unless the present market
price Is seriously affected.
The market price of course depends
upon the supply and demand. that Is.
when IL can break away from the
gamblers The effort OF cotton farm
ers along the line OF freedom is al
ready bringing its reward and will do
more
One OF the great markets that has
received careful attention of the cot
ton farmers who export through the
gulf ports has been the Asiatic field.
II has been the idea that when the
Panama canal was opened It would
give cheap rates from Galveston to
Asia and rebound to the great benefit
of the cotton farmer. Therefore any
rival in that field Is worth noticing.
The Jap is the man.
Last year they purchased and
planted American cotton seed in
Korea From one field OF 175 acres
they picked 100 bales, weighing 10000
pounds. The British board of trade
Journal says of this cotton that,
"The fiber is said to be fine and
soft. with exceptional luster and well
suited for mixture In the spinning of
fine yarns. 1t is valued at $t1.29 per
100 pounds. The people interested
hope to produce 1000 bales next sea
son and 10000 the year following.
Estimates give 175,OO0 as the possible
number of acres of cotton lands in
Korea. and the yearly yield of these
as 1OG. 900 bales of 500 pounds each.
Experiments made in 1906 resulted in
iC0 pounds to each acre. The land
experimental on was well and care
fully cultivated by intelligent Korean
coDlies. No such intense cultivation
could be carried out on a very large
scale, still, If Japan can get 100000
bales of upland cotton per annum
from Korea, II means just that much
less in her purchases in the United

No charges were filed with this
committee against any delegate. The
habitual mud singers simply had
nothing to say, when there was an
opportunity to say it, under oath.
After two months of close scrutiny

the railroads are having trouble in
working suckers for money Second
the railroads are losing their political
