represent $945, 700 worth of wealth.
Missions, Laplanders and the govern
ment owned 20,444 reindeer, valued
at $501, 900. The total income of ma
tives from reindeer from 1893 to 1914
amounts to $287,410; the total in
come of missions and Laplanders for
the same period was SIS, 432, making
total valuation and income from the
herds in the Il years of $1,822,642
From this must be subtracted the
total government appropriations for
the reindeer industry from 1893 to
1914 of 100000.
Thus the profit from the invest
ment for the 81 years is $1,520,642
or just 503 per cent on the invest
ment! Seems as if our Uncle Samuel
was pretty thrifty little investor?
And the profit that can't be count
ed in dollars and cents is the fact that
the reindeer industry, in its 81 years
of existence, has turned the natives
of Alaska from collection of pow
erty-stricken nomadic hunters into
civilized, thrifty men, having in these
herds assured support for themselves
and opportunity to acquire wealth by
the sale of meat and skins to the
white men in Alaska, as well as OPP
portunities to ship meat and skins
to the states,

And yet this is just what Uncle
Sans bureau of education has done
for the natives of Alaska; the Eski-
mos, the Aleuts and the Indians, for
whose education it is responsible.
In 1892 the bureau imported into
Alaska from Siberia III reindeer to
furnish an industry to supply food
and clothing to the Eskimos and
other natives who were eking out a
precarious existence upon the rapidly
disappearing game animals and fish.
Importations continued until 1902,
when total of 1880 deer had been
brought from Siberia. At the same
time natives of Lapland were brought
in to teach the natives h = to herd
and care for the reindeer
There were at the end of 1914, &C
