Koch says in the Los Angeles Times For
along with the coming of the reindeer there
follows the passing of that necessary pest of
the north, the Eskimo dog.
Three years ago. on the Labrador coast, a
trapper remarked that il men got to the
north pole il would be by the aid of these dogs.
Long. long ago, out of the wild somewhere,
an Eskimo got wolf and domesticated him.
The Eskimo dog, you know, is not, scientific
ally speaking. dog at all, but wolf. Then
there were others followed the example and
each man had a wolf-"a dog" to use the
cant now of the north-to draw his sleigh.
Now, Dr. Grenfell. the famous mission doc
of the Labrador, has taken up the matter
of substituting the dog with reindeer The
reindeer is a gentle beast. 1t finds its own
food through the deepest snow; il gives milk
and flesh and it's hide affords garments.
But to the story. as they put ii up there in
the Labrador.
ITO most folk" thoy relate the Labra-
dor boats. the importing of reindeer to the
great frozen peninsula of Labrador seems like
the proverbial carrying of Goals to Newcastle
In fact. most folk. to confess the truth. have
