STEFANSSON SEES
RICH BARREN NORTH
Expects It to Become Great
Grazing Field for Musk Ok
and Reindeer.
ALASKA HAS BIG FUTURE
Explorer Gets Charles P. Daily
Medal for His Polar
Researches.

Vlhjalmur stefansson, who earned
fame by discovering the blond Es-
kimo" and several islands in the
Arctic Archipelago OF British North
America, at the Engineering Society
building surprised a large audience
who had come to sec the Charles r.
Daily medal presented to him last
night for valuable Polar exploration
with the statement that the so-called
barren North was not barren. but
that he expected the Canadian Gov
eminent to turn It into one Of the
greatest grazing regions in the world
for musk OK and reindeer.
John Greenough, president OF the
American Geographical Society who
bestowed the medal upon the explorer
on behalf OF that organization, SOM
pared Stefansson to Livingstone, in
that both men had distinguished them
selves from other pathfinders by cut
ting loose from civilization entirely
on their expeditions.
Makes a Prediction.
Stcfansson,. after announcing that
he intended to disabuse his hearers OF
many common misconceptions, said:
Northern Canada is the coming
great grazing land Of the world. 1t Is
called the barren ground. only be-
cause there are no trees there. Alaska
! too, Is going to be not primarily a
gold, coal, copper OF pulp producing
region, but a grazing land. This will
come about through the development
of great herds of reindeer and musk OK
Twenty wears ago the United States
bought a herd OF reindeer, which
doubling in size every three years,
has now increased to 100000 deer and
which last year brought return OF
IS per cent. on the investment in the
way of hides and meat. Reindeer meat
is now being sold all over the Pacific
! coast and even as far eastward as ST.
Paul. 1t Is Just as good as mutton
and is liked better by those who
know II.
Value of Musk or.
But even better for such purposes
| Is the musk OK. which ought to be
called the polar sheep. The fat OF the
musk OK makes about 100 pounds of
tallow and the COW produces about ten
pints of milk. This milk is the. same
as that of a Jersey COW in taste. and Is
rich in cream.
! According TO experts to whom |
have shown the wool Of the musk OK
! It is better in quality than that of the
domestic ship and Is twice as heavy.
II am now proposing to the Cana
dian Government to buy musk OK for
grazing in northern Canada, and II the
Government does this. as I believe it
will. this territory. as large as the
| United States. will be turned into a
grazing region comparing favorahly
with any great cattle raising land like
| Argentina"
The explorer pointed out that the
/ northern lands produced plenty Of

will. The instrument was filed here
to-day.
The only conditions made by Major
Straight in bequeathing outright most
OF the estate to his wife is a request
that mutual agreements for aiding
certain institutions be observed.
Would Aid "New RepubIic."
Chief among these is the desire Of
Major Straight that his wife provide
during her lifetime and for ten years
after her death for the financial sup
port of the Ne,o Republic, II magazine
OF which he was ono OF the founders.
In the event that Major Straight had
survived his wife a sum of $500, 900
was to be used for the carrying on OF
the publication.
Major Straight also remembered
Cornell, through which he had worked
his way. by requesting his wife to
do such thing or things for Cornell
University as she may think most fit
and useful to make the same a more
human place" He expressed the de-
sire also that his wife aid in the
Americanization of immigrants to the
as in her judgment will educate them
to understand the responsibility Of
American citizenship"
Major Straight's reliance on the in
telligence and business sense of his
wife is also shown by the fact that she
is appointed sole trustee and executrix
OF the will and guardian OF their
three children, Whitney Willard,
Beatrice and Michael.
Trust Funds for Children.
Jewelry and personal effects are be-
aueathed T. the children, but he
makes no iron bound provision con-
corning the amount of money to &c
to each. The will suggests, however
that trust funds he created for each
of the children until he or she is
| twenty-one. At the age of thirty each
child shall have a portion OF the estate
turned over to him outright, accord
ing to Mr.. Straight's plan.
| Mrs. James F. Sanborn, formerly
Hazel Straight, a sister OF Major
Straight. is bequeathed 100000 out
right. The sum of $4,000 is placed in
trust for Albert w. Fielder during his
life or until he desires to dispose OF
lit. Trust funds OF $4,000 are desig-
mated for George Bennett, valet of the
Major, r. Z. Kincaid and George H
Rennick. Every employee Of the Wall
