and will therefore continue to exercise
that duty and obligation even though

Another Alaskan product that has
been brought forward Is reindeer
meat. 1t Is tender and has the taste
of wild game. but is as good az beef.
Tho reindeer weighs ON an average of
$50 pounds when dressed. 1t has
been estimated that there are more
than 100000 reindeer in Alaska, and
that herds aggregating $4,000 have
been purchased and will be marketed.
One Of the advantages of reindeer
is that 1t costs nothing to feed them.
Prices Of feed grains for cattle are
high now. Reindeer live on nchens,
which would otherwise be valueless.
The only expense for maintenance of
reindeer is for the labor OF herding
them. and the cost of slaughtering
them.

MEAT BAN LIFTED
The Territorial Food Administrator
Passes Glad Tidings to Fairbanks
Office.

Advices received from Fairbanks
this afternoon state that instructions
have been received from Territorial
Food Administrator Gunnison to re-
move meatless days temporarily from
the food saving program in opera
ton there. The ban is to be lifted
during the month of April, in &C
cordance with similar action taken in
the States.
This action is taken in conse-
quence Of the accumulation of a
large quantity of meat throughout
the United States. When this sur
plus has been used, the country will
be again placed on a limited con-
sumption.

PIONEERS DECIDE
INVEST IN BONDS
Sum of One Thousand Dollars viii
Be Subscribed By Lodge of
Oldtimers.

The members of Nenana igloo,
Pioneers of Alaska, have decided to
invest portion of the treasury
funds in Liberty Loan bonds, and
when the sale is started the igloo
probably will be among the first to
apply to make application for the
gilt edged security which Uncle Sam
is about to offer the people of the
United States. The sum of $1,000
will be invested by the Pioneers, that
amount having been decided upon
at the regular meeting of the or
ganization, held at Union hall last
night.
The report of the treasurer of the
igloo showed that the lodge is in
splendid condition financially and
can easily spare the amount which
will be invested in bonds.

was attached to the register under
protest and hopes soon to be able
to produce substantial evidence Of
his citizenship.
Halger explains that he was ad-
mitted to citizenship at San Fran
cisco in 1906, but later lost his
papers. And now he finds that the
records were destroyed during the
San Francisco fire and it is i'm
possible for him to get notification
of his citizenship from that source.
He intends, however, to get a state
ment from the office where he took
out his first papers, and then to COM
plete his citizenship a second time,
before Judge Bunnell.
Inasmuch as he had nothing to
show that he is a citizen, he was ad-
vised to sign the register at the post
office and did so under protest.

feeling against anyone who might
make derogatory remarks against
the United States. Mr.. Murphy fur
Their stated that the verdict of the
jury would have great effect in
stamping out further sedition in the
territory of Alaska and urged them
to consider the testimony carefully,
as all the main points of the charge
were corroborated by the witnesses,
not single witness being offered
by the defense in the matter of the
charge.
J. Hampton Miles, for the defense,
then took the floor and made stir
ring appeal to the jury. He stated
that he wanted justice done, and
that he did not believe that the man
was in his right mind. He wished
to have verdict brought in to the
effect that the man should be ex-
amined by a lunacy board.
The courtroom was then cleared
and the jury returned an unanimous
ballot of Guilty as charged" Upon
motion made by the defense, the
sentence was stayed until ten clock
this morning, in order that the at
torney might have time to confer with
the accused and make notice of ap-
peal if Lund so wished.
Lund was not on the stand in his
own behalf. but confined himself to
Interruptions every once in a while,
charging the witnesses with being
liars, and saying that he did not
know what they were talking about,
that they must have read that stuff
in a magazine.
]. Hampton Miles, for the defense,
appeared this morning at ten o'clock
and waived notice of appeal. Com
missioner Mcdonald then set the hour
for sentence at two o'clock this
afternoon.
Mr.. Miles made an appeal for len
iency on the grounds that the COM
planning witnesses wer, in two in
stances, citizens of foreign coun-
tries, but the judge stated that he
had no hesitancy in imposing the full
penalty, which is one year in the
federal Jail and a fine of one thous-
and dollars. Lund is now in the
custody of the marshal.
