REINDEER TO THE RESCUE

Rochester. N. Y. Democrat Chronice)
 If old and trusted friends the beeves, the pigs and the sheep should have to admit that they unequal to the job of supplying with meat, have another fourfooted ally ready to sacrifice himself for our nourishment-name the reindeer, This useful animal has not wide acquaintance in that he a picturesque inhabitant of the Arctic be friend in need if the problem in feeding Ameri- should become really acute.
 The reindeer is making himself at home in Alaska. Statistics regarding him have been printed by publication called the Alaska Railroad Record. The first reindeer to take up their abode in our great Territory imported from Siberia. During the next ten years 1200 of these curious emigrants came to from that desolae land where the Czar sent his political enemies. The 1915 report showed that Alaska contained 70234 reindeer which di vided into 76 herds. Sxty-six per cent of them owned by Natives, per cent. by the United States, 10 cent. by missionaries, and 19 per by Lap anders and others.
 Heretofore the reindeer born in Alaska have been used in establishing herds, and maintaining a sled service between various points The distribution of herds is now about complete and will soon have to busy themselves in finding market for their surplus animals. The surplus at present not very large, but every year 1t increases enormously. The time is not far off when Aaskans will ship thousands of pounds of deer meat to the United States there should be demand for it in American markets Here, then, is source of meat supply by no means negligible and which, incidentally, reminds Americans of the vastness and diversity of the country in which they live.

THE WATERFRONT CONTROVERSY

As far the legal circumstances Of the controversy the leasing of the Mann-.oiat- tuck and the James Eehrends water front property, The Empire will say nothing. They matters for the court to determine However, far as the question of public policy is concerned. view it, there is but side to the question:
 When this matter first broached there was none in the city pronouncedly in favor of the lease than Mayor Valentine, who the power of the court to prevent the consummation of that which he previously favored. He admit Ad the need for the property and had objection to offer to the cost-provded it could be arranged such way to permit the city to go through with it. He went far to have plans for the develop ment Of the Mann -Shattuck property prepared.
 Further than that, a large majority of the bus the tax burden will fall if everything goes as rlanned very strongly in favor of the lease with the option to puichase during it's life.
 The need fer additional docking facilities at the City Wharf is apparent that it is absurd to try to dispute it. The circumstance that Juneau has been able to considerable fishing business because she has promised the additional for the fishing fleet and the buyers of fish is ample ev dence in itself of the need and token of the of the development that will follow the ulfillment the promise.

HUNTING WILLY CARIBOU IN ALASKA GREAT SPORT
Williamsport, Pa, Grit.)

Five hundred miles from anywhere and only provisions for breakfast, dinner and supper except such live provender as the streams and the afford Under such conditions, which is the normal lot the field exploration parties in Aasi'a of the United States Geological Survey, the sight of a big animala caribou-feedng within possible rifle shot, stirs enthusiasm and cx- cement in camp the trail than any other pos sble happening. This is no hunting for sport, but such hunting the most thrilling kind of sport when the hunters stomach yearns for fresh meat-for a juicy twoinch steak of venison thrown into the big redhot frying pan and broed in it's own fat. And q caribou will furnish such steaks besides saddles and delicious stews-as much good eating as any beef
 The lordly caribou of Northern Alaska stands in little danger of extinction The caribou bears consd erable resemblance the reindeer, although he is very much larger, but his habits very similar. In fact, the with which the caribou maintains himself the vast tundras of barren grounds of Alaska and parts of caribou is the best possible ment that the reindeer will eventually become the meat animal of this Northern Country. The caribou stags have high branching antlers, not heavy, but fully spreading those of the elk, but his coat has fine thick, woody fur which protects him against the great cold of the North. His feet broad to almost be likened to snowshoes This is in fact what they during the winter season, while in the open portion of the year they enable him to travel through the great swamps at an easy pace otherwise impossible to attain.
