REINDEER MEAT ON MARKET.

The federal government thru it's policy
inaugurated in 1892, to import reindeer
m Siberia to Alaska, has caused to
built great industry, which is now
beginning to bear fruit. In that year
the first importation to that territory
was made. This importation continued
for ten years, and in 1902, 1900 had
been brought over. From this nucleus
the present Alaska reindeer service
grew. In 1915, according to govern
ment reports, there were total of
7O,243 animals distributed among seven
ty-six herds. Of this number 1868,
or 66 per cent, are owned by l ,14O
natives; 3,408, or 5 per cent, are owned
by the United States; $3.50, or 10 per
cent, are owned by the missions, and
1922, or 10 per cent, are owned by
Laplanders and others. The total in
acome of the natives from the reindeer
industry for the year 1915, exclusive of
meat and hides, used by the natives
themselves, was 1897.
The reindeer have now been dis
tributed over practically all of Western
Alaska, extending from Point Barrow
down to the Aleutian Islands. The
Copper River valley and the upper
Kuskokwim were the next to be stocked
with the animals. Most of the larger
islands of the Aleutian group have been
stocked with small herds, and the only

BILLS ARE HELD UP

The two bills upon which action of
the semiofficial lobby at the state
house has been conferred for the past
week are now tied up, one in
the house and one in the senate, with
very little chance that either will be-
come a law
These bills are the Coburn bill
for four years terms of county Of
ficials, which extended the terms of
all sheriffs, clerks, and auditors for
two years, and the Epps bill for an
eighth judges in the Supreme court.
The eighth judge bill has been
tabled in the house since last Friday.
when by 81 to 40 vote the whole
proposition was sidetracked.
The four year county official
bill was recalled by the senate We'd
nesday morning from the enrolling
committee. after it was all ready to be
sent to the governor for his signature
Both bills were therefore held up
after having passed both houses of
the assembly. and when it seemed
jalmOst certain that they would be-
come laws.
The final status of both bills may
be determined today. Both are
badly tangled up in parliamentary
rulings, and their final disposition
is still a matter of conjecture
Speaker Pitt, who has deferred
formally making his announced rul-
ing that the action of the house in
tabling the eighth Judge bill was
out of order, said yesterday after
noon that he would proably act to-
day.

WILL ORGANIZE COMPANY
OF SOLDIERS IN ATLANTIC

Chas W. Hoadley of Atlantic who
has the rank of captain in the Iowa
National Guard has received word
from the office of the adjutant general
of Iowa that Atlantic can have a
company in one of the three new
regiments of the national guard to
be accorded in this state, and an
effort is being made to secure the ex-
preston of the business men as to
their moral support of the project, in
preparation for laying the ground
work for the organization of the COM
pany. If Atlantic secures a company
it will be a part of the Fourth regi-
ment which is one of the three ad-
ditional regiments to be added to the
guard of this state. Those who are
behind the movement are seeking to
speed up the matter so that Atlantic
may have Company "a, the first one
in, unless Adair, which is also seek
ing to organize a company, gets in
ahead, in which case Atlantic's COM
pany would be ''B." providing it is
the second one in.
The business people generally to
whom the form of agreement has
been presented are pledging their
moral support to the company if it
is organized.

CUMNIINS, POSITION

Senator Cummins, one of the
twelve who opposed the armed neu-
trality bill, said he believed there
was another way to meet the situa-
tion but he desired to have a united
nation and therefore would vote for
the war resolution. The Iowa sena-
tor said he had opposed the armed
neutrality bill because it gave the
president war making powers, and
would still oppose with equal car
nestness at this time an effort of
that kind
'The congress, however" he con-
tinued, sis now exercising it's right
full constitutional function. When
congress has determined, every 10y u
American will find instant undivid-
ed allegiance to its decree. There
will be no division. And no man
will be permitted to outrun me to
make America strong and victorious
in the struggle that is before us.
Il still believe there is another
better course than declaration of
war. If l believed there was a fair
opportunity to fight for that better
way, l would not hesitate to take
time to submit my reasons for it's
adoption. But l know, and every
man knows, that war will be de-
clared and l intend to give evidence
OF unity among the people by sub
ordinating my judgment to that of
my fellows in congress. l want the
world to know that when this gov
eminent has acted through its con-
situtional authority. every man and
woman too. who loves the old flag
will stand by the government, by the
country"

u. S. HAS ARMY OF 100000
Iowa Under Present Rule Could Fur
nish About 10000

The Uuited States has 21,071,076
men available for military service.
They constitute the total male popu-
lation of the country between the ages
of / s and As years. This is a tremen-
dous army reserve, surpassed only by
Russia of all the great powers in the
world war. But with present stand
ards of physical fitness demanded by
the army and navy three-fourths of
this vast total would be rejected for
service.
Uncle Sam would be fortunate
to get an army of 100000 men
unles she greatly moderated
present physical requirements.
The corn belt states of Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Kansas have
the highest physical standards in the
country. Acceptance in the army
and navy here average one to every
three applications. The eastern sea-
board district with its populous cities
turns out the poorest human speci-
mems. But one man out of every eight
that apply for enlistment is accepted.
IOwan's Contribution
If every male citizen of Iowa
available for duty could be placed in
an army it would number 49S,S29
men. Deducting the expected rejec-
tions the Hawkeye state force dwin-
dies to 1926.
The north with 100000 men
has more than double the number in
the South. The eleven states west of
Kansas and Nebraska total less than
New York. where 2,223.633 male citi-
zens are liable for service in the army
of the republic.

YOUNG PEOPLE ENJOY
BANQUET AT CHURCH

The young people of the Methodist
church, most of whom are affiliated
with the Epworth League enjoyed a

weather prevented many others from
attending who had signified their in
tentions of being present. Dr. Hager-
man, of Des Moines had been engaged
to make an address to the young
people but he was unable to reach
Audubon in time to keep his appiont-

TO PROVIDE PAY
FOR MARRIED SOLDIERS

Howard J Clark of Des Moines a
brother of r. p. Clark of Brayton
Wednesday urged the appropriations
committee of the Iowa senate to
provide funds so that the families
of married men who enlist at the
call of the president for war service,
may be properly cared for.
The members of the committee
appeared to be favorable toward an
appropriation. One tentative sug-
session was that the fund be suffi-
Glen; 20 pay $50 month to the wife
of every enlisted married soldier, and
$40 month for every child.
The plans being followed by Canada
was talked of The province now is
paying certain sums each month to
the families of enlisted men, with an
additional allowance of $40 month
for each child.
