THE REINDEER.
As the idea is to benefit the Esqumsus.
and not the white man. our government
has forbidden the sale OF reindeer 10
any one but an Esquimau Since the
reindeer provides the Esquimau with food
clothing and shelter. besides being his
carry-all, Uncle Sam performed a most
praiseworthy act when he introduced the
reindeer into Alaska.
There gre few leisure moments in the
life of the Esquimau. He works almost
from the time Of his birth to the time Of
his death. And when he becomes a con-
sumer and not a producer. he calmly
announces that he will be ready to die on
the new moon. We are referring now to

Governor Clark recently asserted that
the residents of Alaska generally were
willing to accept any measure which
would lead to the development OF the
