CHILD NATURALLY
A SAVAGE FROM
2TO16 YEARS OLD

Chicago. Nov. Livery child
from to 16 is a savage becoming
civilized" said r. Waite Joslyn, in a
lecture before the Society of Evolu-
tionists. THE impulse of every day
to dig caves, hunt, fish and fight is an
inheritance from our savage ancestors.
A child's fear of the dark is the rem
nant of the time when the dark places
were caves filled with wild animals"
Joslyn said rational men existed
SO. 900 years ago.

His deer are worth 100000.
I asked Mr.. Lopp as to the value OF
the reindeer for carrying freight and
passengers, referring to the fact that
the government once expected to use
them in transporting the Alaskan
mails.
He replied: "Such attempts have been
made. but they have not been success

deer are untrue. The ordinary deer
cannot 20 more than forty miles day.
and it cannot make more than twenty
five miles a day on long journeys. The
reindeer is not hardy. and five or SIX
days is as long as one should be driven
at time.
The trouble is that the deer has to
get it's own food on the way. II lives

which are not as great as those of hay.
You would not expect to drive horse
long distance on hay. and you cannot
drive a reindeer a long distance on
moss. especially if it has to travel all
day and hunt for its moss at night. AS
it is now. it is only in the coolest parts
of Alaska that reindeer are used as
teams. and there by the Eskimos only.

the two reindeer fairs recently estab-

parts of the country. One of these is
annually held at Akiak on the Upper

Marys Igloo on the Seward peninsula.
These fairs are like the great stock
shows of the United States. but their
stock lis reindeer. The Eskimos bring
their deer in from many miles around.
They compete as to the finest of the
animals. and also as to such matters as
lassoing. butchering, driving, feeding
and herding. They have races of many
kinds. and also prizes for the best kind

prizes are contributed by the merchants
of Nome. Seattle and elsewhere. The

Alaska who have had much to do with

schools of the territory under the gem
eral direction of the bureau of edu-
cation at Washington. Mr.. Lopp came
to Alaska more than quarter of a
century ago to engage in teaching, and
his first station was at Cape Prince
of Wales, which is directly opposite
Siberia. across Bering strait While
there he was engaged in teaching the
Eskimos, and had conceived the idea
of introducing reindeer to help them.
He proposed to bring deer across the
strait from Siberia. at about the same
time that DR.. Sheldon Jackson brought
his first deer to the Aleutian Islands.
A little later number of deer were
brought from Siberia and put in the
charge of Mr.. Loop. at a station near
Boring strait, and from then until now
he has had much to do with the REIN
deer owned by the natives. All OF the
reindeer herds SO owned are under the
charge of the bureau of education,
and today Mr.. Lopp may be said to be
tho patriarchal head of the industry.

with Mr.. Lindeberg and Judge Lomen.
They are enthusiastic to the pros
poets. Mr.. Lindeberg says that the
value of the reindeer now in Alaska is
two or three million dollars, and that
notwithstanding it cost the govern
ment only about three hundred thou
sand dollars to esta blish the industry.
He says the company has no desire to
complicate the arrangements which
Uncle Sam has to supplying the natives
with deer. According to the present
laws, the Fisk imos and Indians cannot
sell their deer. and private parties can
only acquire reindeer from the Lap
landers who brought the deer over and
the missions who have some deer Of
their own Independent Of those that
belong to the Eskimos. These laws will
probably be changed, with due regard
to the protection of the natives.
In my talk with Judge Lomen. asked
as to the by-products of the industry.
He says that the day will come when
the packing houses here viii have as
many by-products those of Chicago.
AT present they are able to sell the
skins and horns only. in addition to
the meat. but in the future the blood

They are great" said Judge Lomen.
The first deer were only sixteen, in

were brought across Boring strait from
Siberia. and the first reindeer colony
was established at UnaIaska in the
