REINDEER HERDS FURNISH
 FOOD FOR THE NkTIvEs

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5-Twe herds Of reindeer have been placed lon St Paul and st. George Islands of the P1Sbilof group. where the fur seals have their rookerses. They were carried there from the mainland by the |. s. revenue cutter Bear. an Eskimo herder. oliver Angoiook, ac- companying the st Paul herd, which consists of 2i cows and bulls. most ly young animals. The number Of the St. George herd and other par ticulars have not been reported.
 This introduction or reindeer arose from the necessity Of providing the seal-hunting natives and the govern ment agents Of the Pribilof islands with other fresh food than that of the limited number of seals they are permitted to kill for their own sup port. and it was recommended to the secretary Of commerce and labor. who administers Alaskan fur-seal affairs for the government. by the bureau oi fisheries, which Is in immediate charge Of the administration Of the fur seal laws.
 The reindeer were secured from the bureau of education. department of the interior. which has charge of the domes6cated reindeer or the Alas- kan mainland
 Although large quantities Of can ned meats are shipped to the islands
 the 300 inhabitants. natives and other wise. usually have no other fresh meat than seals. and even that is obtainabla only during short period 1t the year.
 4 thorough preliminary investiga- ton was made Jy Dr. B. w vverman ju charge of the Alaska fisheries service Of the bureau Of fisheries, who found that the climatic and oth- TT conditions on the two islands were favorable to the project He report ed that the reindeer would be able Co feed on the grasses and mosses found on the islands
 The introduction of reindeer from Siberia Co the mainland of Alaska tn 1899, and their subsequent domes- Goation. have proved Of immense val Ue Co the. Alaskan natives; therefore, it is expected that the herds taken to the Pribilof islands win prove equally valuable. The flesh and milk are utilized as food, and the skins are good for clothing. The horns and boofs of the animals can also be us- ed. usually being worked up into use ful and ornamental articles. It Is also believed that the deer will lat er on be Of great value as aids to transportation
 The reindeer were shipped from St Michael Alaska. Although youn6 animals, al Of them were adults. and it is expected all tho COWS win fawu next spring. Since landing, they hay ranged the island pretty widely, near ly reaching the extreme western end, hut have. not gone close to the vil- iaEe.

the plans he has devised that the en-
tire session need not extend over a
period of one week
