TELLS OF ESKIMOS

other government agents had preceded
us in this request. Before we had a
reply from our letter that summer a
revenue cutter put into port with a
shipment of reindeer on board. We
were overjoyed to know that the pro-
hibition of the law had been removed
and set about getting more.
in 1892 came the first large i'm
portation. We brought in 1000 that
year and from these grew the present
herd, scattered throughout Alaska and
numbering over $4,000.
THE reindeer policy was gradually
evolved. We impress upon the Laps
and Eskimos that the reindeer are ex-
clusively their property and care. For
instance. they are not allowed to sell
female reindeer to white men, so that
the brood animals are to be perpetu-
ally in the custody and ownership of
the natives.
The herders are free to breed their
animals and sell their calves or stock
Of any age or sex to the other natives.
Reindeer are food. clothing and
transportation to the natives"

Lopp was Hoosier schoolmaster,

I'VE had some trouble with them at

Iutely just and fair with them, their
attitude changed.
THAT first winter we learned that
the Eskimos wanted to own reindeer,
but that the revenue officers would
not permit the importation. Some of
the natives even owned reindeer in
the Siberian herds across the straits.
And 1t seemed shame that they
were forbidden to bring their property

Siberian heights could be seen over
the water on clear days.

Fru Ella Anker, one of the leaders OF

In explaining the divorce law Fru

clear that this law which has done SO
much to solve the divorce evil in my
country was one of the direct results

The law was passed by a Liberal gov

parties. 1t is based on the principle
that mutual love between the husband

bind the two together any longer. The

the means for divorce. Our law pro-

preliminary to divorce when both par

one requests 1t on such grounds as to
make 1t probable that mutual good

between husband and wife, the law
grants a divorce without inquiring
into the reasons, but as security that
the step has been well thought over
before action, it provides that year

So he opened fire, dangerously wound

DR.. Mulcahy and his assistants tried
to draw together the end of Renzula's

could not do SO exactly. So they
drew the ends as closely as possible
and fixed them In place by suturing
them in the spinal canal.
