having gone barefoot through the snow

they are irascible, and. they say there
Is no love lost between them. Hiram
Maxim lives in England, believe.
Hudson Maxim has lovely home on
the shores of Lake Hopatcong, in New
Jersey, and owns an immense tract of
land on which he has built fine homes,
which he refuses to sell or rent except
to celebrities of one sort or another.
Consequently he has gathered about him
an interesting colony of notables one

ALASKA REINDEER.

On June 80. 1912. the last time an
official count was taken, there were
3S,476 reindeer, comprising 81 herds,
scattered throughout Alaska OF the
3S,416, 24.06S, or 60 5 per cent, are
owned by 633 natives: 1915, or 9.S
per cent, by the United states; 4511,
or III per cent by the missions, and
6l2l, or 16 per cent by the Lapps.
At an average value of s25 a head,
the 24,06S reindeer owned by the ma
tves represent capital of S601.700
The total income of the natives from
the reindeer industry during the year
ended June 80. 1912. exclusive of the
value of meat and hides used by the
natives themselves. was s44.SS5.O4.
The reindeer industry affects the en-
tire coastal region from Point Barrow
to the Alaska PENINSULA region ap-
proximating in length the distance
from Maine to South Carolina. A line
conencting the 81 herds would be
more than 5000 miles in length
There are 633 native owners of
reindeer, whose immediate families

obtaining reindeer products in ex-
change for their own wares. Accord
ingly, the total number of natives af-
fected by the reindeer enterprise may
be estimated to be about $500. There
yet remain to be reached by the rein
deer industry in Alaska, the upper
kuskokwim and the Copper river re-
gions and the coast east of Point
Barrow; also Nunivak Kodiak and
the Aleutian islands. The establish
ment of herds in these regions will
complete the means for gradually
stocking with reindeer all of the un-
timbered regions of Alaska adapted
for that industry. During August,
1911. 40 reindeer from the herd t
Unalakleet were delivered to the de-
partment OF commerce, 25 were plac-
ed on st. Paul island and Is on st.
George island. In June, 1912. the
reindeer on st. Paul island had in
creased to 40 and those on st. George
