REINDEER STEAKS
CHEAPER THAN BEEF
HIGH COST OF LIVING STRIKES
ESKIMO LAND.-REINDEE
WORTH $25 EACH;

An Eskimo industry as. the subject
of a magazine article would, not sc
long ago, have been regarded as some
what of joke. The war, however
reached away into Alaska, raised the
price of living, created an industry
brought about prosperous times, with
the natural consequence that Madame
Eskimo, says writer in The Sunset
Magazine, is very different person
age from what she used to be.
"Three dollars for porterhouse!'
he protested. "Say! Who do you
think | am-Rockefeller? ?" His atti-
tude was that of one who was not
going to let anybody put anything
over on him, even if he was in the
Far North, a curiosity-seeker in the

Beefsteak, three dollars, raindeer

gun more than twenty years ago with

mos of northwestern Alaska had been

reduced by the invasion of the white
man, had reached stategic point
from which it could give old H. C. L. a
kick in the ribs.
The amount of reindeer to be ship
! ped this year, to be sure, will not be
sufficient to make an appreciable dent
in the price of other meats, but con-
sidering that reindeer double their
number every three years, besides
leaving ten per cent of the entire
herd for the market, it will be seen
that these northern animals soon will
become a factor in the economic af-
fairs of the nation. The range-lands
of the North are practically unlimited.
Many Eskimos who became ap-
prenticed herders fifteen or twenty
years ago are now quite wealthy,
owning a herd of several hundred
deer, worth upon the hoof about $25
each, and it is one of the anomalies
of the country that some of them have
thousands Of dollars worth of meat
walking around on the tundras and
yet are short of flour and other food.
Reindeer-herders know not the meat
less Tuesday,. but for many of them
every day is wheatless These condi-
tions, however, prevail only in places
where the herders are situated at
great distances from the centers of
white population Deer-men living
near the mining find a ready
sale for their product.
Reindeer meat is juicy and tender;
it's flavor is somewhat between beef
and mutton and not "gamey."
With plenty of meat to sell, the
Eskimo has become prosperous, but
affluence has brought to him some of
the troubles of his white brother.
Time was when Mrs. Eskimo was
happy if she had piece of walrus or +
burning lamp..ih an igloo constructed

Gorge. Mukluks of walrus-skin were
plenty good enough, and chewing this
tough leather to make it flexible was
a work of contentment. A parka and
trousers of hair-seal were considered
the hall-marks of class.
But that day of simple contentment
is past If Mrs. Eskimo's husband
or son owns reindeer herd, she must
have a don-to-date range to cook
upon. The old igloo has been convert
ed into cold-storage room, or dog
kennel. The living house must now
be large and commodious, with more
than one room, and it must be lined
with nice planed lumber brought at
great transportation cost from the
United States She must have sew
ing machine of the latest model She
must have skirts and underwear of
wool, like her white sister, and her
coat must be of the finest fawn-skin,
trimmed with ermine, or wolf, or
wolverine, or Arctic fox. The tops Of
her mukluks must be of differently
colored reindeer hides and gay with
beads and other gewgaws. In few
cases she has been known to insist
on white-topped kid shoes with high
heels. A good story is even told
where willy trader did good stroke
of business by showing line Of
beautiful pink and white corsets.
To be sure, Madam Eskimo doesn't
yet yearn for grand opera. But she
makes frequent trips to the big cities
of the North, where there are crowds
of people, and stores, and candy, and
canned music, and moving pictures. |
Will Madam Eskimo demean herself |
by chewing walrus leather these |
days? Not much! She chews gum I
instead.
The time has arrived, continues the |
writer, when the reindeer men must /
find a market for their surplus steers
beyond the local habitat, and with the I
price of meat constantly advancing |
in the United States, the introduce
ion of this choice new article of diet
should be more than welcome.

derson, R. F. D. 4, Moscow, the fol
lowing very interesting letter:
"Nov. "a, 1918.
Dear Father: Today is the day
that we are all supposed to write
i father a letter, so here goes this one
to you.
"Well, am still in the hospital but
am getting along fine so expect te

be on my way before long, at least
| hope so.
81 will tell you what fronts / was
on in the drives. The first one was
at Scissors the 18th of July, and that
was quite a battle The second was
at st. Mihiel, where we broke the old
Hindenburg line. The third was at
the Champagne front, there it was
hard pushing but we made them go
in spite of the hard fighting, and the
fourth was the last one, in the Ar
gonne forest, along the Mouse river.
There was where l was wounded, so
| left the company there, and the
morning after left them they cross
ed the Mouse river and went on to
the big railroad center called Sedan,
and they were there when the armis-
tice was signed.

didn't do any driving there to amount
to anything. One Of them was at
Chateau Thierry, and the other one
was a short distance from Metz.

ones that is on its way to Germany

see that the Huns don't start some
thing, and following them up, for
wouldn't trust Hun as far as could |
see him, for they have all kinds of
tricks, but still they were beaten at
their own game. All | can say is
that Uncle Sam has good big army
and they are a bunch of fighting
men, too. One good thing is that
Germany has to give up all her u
boats and other battle ships SO she
hasn't got much to float around with
