Uncle Sam has expended vast amount
Of money In endeavoring to popularize the
reindeer In Alaska. and in one sense he
has succeeded. As beast of burden IN
these regions the deer has no equal Its
skin furnishes the warmest garments and
bed clothing for the Eskimo and Its meat
is unexceled as food. Yet. despite these
several virtues. the deer Is far from popu-
lar with the Eskimo who would rather
share his bit of jerked meat and crust OF
black bread with his beloved dog than to
own the finest herd of reindeer In Alaska
that is. II he should have to care for
that herd and give up his dog.

not entirely discouraged and the various
