of the period of apprenticeship he
receives 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 a herd in the
same manner. BY this system each
family will eventually be provided
with it's own herd.
The reindeer herds have been so
conveniently distributed that the
mail drivers can procure relays on
thier journeys among the stations.
The herds are distributed along
the coast as far as Point Barrow,
the northernmost point in Alaska.
The natives seem fully to APP
preciate what the government is
doing for them, and instances of
breaking or evasion of the reindeer
laws are very rare.

NOME, Alaska, Feb. 9.-The es-
tablishing of reindeer herds in
northern Alaska by the national
government, calculated as it was
to better the existence of the ma
tives, has proved in many in
stances their salvation, for by this
measure the government has re-
placed the native caribou as a
means of meeting the native de-
pendence on the deer for clothing.
food and transportation.
The caribou, which has hereto
fore been the means ON mainten-
ance of EsQuimos over a large
area, are becoming more and more
infrequent in its migrations. At
the present rate of decrease, 1t
must be but very short time be-
fore the caribou is entirely exter-
minated in the region of Point Bar
row.
The government experiment Of
placing reindeer in north Alaska
was conducted under the direction
of the commissioner of education
and under the personal care of
Rev. Sheldon Jackson. The govern
ment agents procured a small herd
of reindeer from Siberia and it was
placed in northern Alaska with
Lapp herders in 1889. Following
that, herders were annually inn
ported. There were 1880 of the
animals brought into Alaska from
1892 to 1902. In 1908 they had in
creased to about 5000. 1t was
stated last spring by A. J. Lopp,
the superintendent of schools and
reindeer herds in Alaska. that
there were about 10000 domesti
Gated deer in Alaska at that time.
OF these the natives owned about
1000.

distribution of the deer has proven
thoroughly efficient. A native is
