NOME, Alaska, Feb. 1.-THE
establishing of reindeer herds in
northern Alaska by the National
government, calculated as it was
to better existence of the natives,
has proved in many instances
their salvation, for by this mea-
sure the government has replaced
the native carabou as means of
meeting the native dependence
on the deer for clothing. food and
transportation.
The carabou, which has hereto
fore been the means of MAIN
tenance of Esquimos over a large
area, are becoming more and
more infrequent in its migrations.
At the present rate of decrease,
it must be but very short time
before the carabou is entirely
exterminated in the region of
Point Barrow.
The government experiment
of placing reindeer in north AL
aska was conducted under the
direction or the Commissioner of
Education and under the personal
|care of Rev. Sheldon Jackson.
The government agents pro-
Cured a small herd of reindeer
from Siberia and it was placed
in northern Alaska with Lapp
herders in 1889. Following that
herds were annually imported.
There were 1880 of the animals
brought into Alaska from 1892
to 1902. In 1903 they had in
|creased to about 5000. 1t was
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-02-11

stated last spring by A. ]. Lopp,
the superintendent of schools and
reindeer herds in Alaska, that
there were about 10000 DOM
esticated deer in Alaska at that
time. OF these the natives
owned about 1000. q
The government method of the
distribution of the deer has prov
en- thoroughly aficent. A Native
is apprenticed into the govern
ment herd for five years and
cash year is allotted a certain
number of the deer for himself.
| At the expiration of the period
lof apprenticeship. he receives q
small herd of his own. When
he receives his herd he must also
take an apprentice who must
remain with him for the allotted
time and receive herd in the
same manner. BY this system
each family will eventually be
provided with its own herd.
The reindeer herds have been
so conveniently distributed that
the mail drivers can procure
relays on their journeys among
the stations. The herds are
distributed along the coast as
far as Point Barrow, the north
ernmost point in Alaska.
The natives seem fully to ap-
preciate what the government is
doing for them and instances of
breaking or evasion of the rein
deer laws are very rare.

HOUSEKEEPING.

tools in good repair. The same
principle applies to housekeeping,
and satisfactory work cannot be

OF all hair, dust and strings by
use of an old coarse comb. Next
dust the inside of the box with a
cloth. Examine the two little pro-

from revolving; then place drop
of oil on each.
See that the rubber rims about

USES own CURE
Surgeon Who Advanced Radical
Theory Submits to Successful
Test.


Seldom 1t is that the medical
world is startled by theory as
radical as that advanced by DR..
H. g. Norman of Fort Wayne,
Ind, who declares that the disease
breeding large bowel should be cut
|out and the end short circuited. He
Says that this would practically
frender a man impervious to the
dead typhoid germ.
DR.. Norman has removed the
section of the bowel in several
patients that have come under his
care for intestinal trouble, and
lsays that in every instance the re-
lsults have been satisfactory. The
theory is not new, Metchnikoff
advancing it number of years
lago. But Metchnikoff had never
seen the operation performed and
never attempted it.
Strange as all this is, 1t Is
stranger to know that DR.. Nier-
man himself has submitted to
sinstra ileocoloctomy, the techni-
cal name by which the operation
| is known. A slight sufferer from

that they would grow acute as

The game warden's department has
been very active this year and been
rounded up and many fines collected
through the departments work, as
sisted 10y an ample corps of deputies.
Some of the recent apprehensions fol-
low:
Arthur Parks, of Marion, was re-

John Hanrath, of Frankfort, and Mr..
Nelson, of the firm of Rudolph &

and costs of 81, each for having in
their possession whitefish of unlawful
size. State Game Warden Pierce re-

Ontonagon county relative to hunter
he arrested for violating the deer hunt
ing law. The hunter deposited $25
with the deputy as bond that he
would appear for trial, and then it
is alleged, hurried out of the state
and cannot be located. The money
will be placed in the department funds.
Other trangressors of the state game
laws are finding active deputies, two
men having been fined $40 each and
costs for killing deer out of season; two
more S25 and costs for shipping par

stood fine bouquet of white carnations.
The rooms also bore decorations of
smilaX and carnations.

a bill of nearly $50 To foot besides his
hunting expenses.
A setter dog belonging To Deputy
Warden Harrington, of lshpeming,
was responsible for apprehending some
hunters anxious to ship coffin to
Milwaukee, containing 500 partridges.
The hunters represented that the coffin
contained friend who had been killed

NEW PRESS
IS INSTALLED
The Banner Made Itself a
Christmas Present Last
Week
S STONEMETZ MAKE
1t is a Dandy Two Revolution and
Rolls the Banner off at 1000
An Hour

AS stated a few weeks ago the
Banner had arrived at that point in its
history when a new press was absolutely
needed in order to put the office in
an up-to-date style and shape for TAX
ing care of the constantly increasing
business, and TO give the workmen
an opportunity of turning off the
work quickly and satisfactorily.
Knowing the needs of Of Belding as
a growing and hustling city, it's bust
ness interests and the demands of our
patrons in the surrounding country,
we concluded that the best was none
too good for the Silk City and deal
was completed with the Challenge Ma
chinery Company, Of Grand Haven,
for Stonemetz two-revolution cy-
Under press which was installed in
our office over the City Shoe Store
last week. 1t is certainly one of the
most complete and up-to-date presses
now being manufactured exactly
suited to the needs of an office out
side the large cities. 1t will print any
thing from a small statement to the
full page poster, and is especially
adapted to the printing of book and
catalogue work.
With the mechanical department
in charge of Mr.. Thomas White
house, formerly editor and proprietor
of the Lowell Journal, but now con-
nected with The Banner, assisted by
Fred MINER and Frederick Andrews
Bush, together with very competent
compositors, the office is in shape to
take care of all work that comes and
handle it quickly.
Our appeal to subscribers for cash
to help install the press met with a
generous response, but we are still
shy quite good many dollars, which
we could use very judiciously at the
present time and would esteem it a
very great favor if our subscribers and
readers will help us out.
The public in general are invited
to call and see the press in opera
ton.
