Urges Ranches for
Reindeer and Oxen
In Northern Canada

Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 1S.-Viljal-
muir Stefansson, the noted arctic -ex-
plorer, who returned from the polar
regions several months ago, and who
has spent the summer in the Cana
dian Rockies writing a book, is re-
turning to Ottawa to urge the fed
eral government to favorably con-
slider his recommendation for REIN
deer and muck-oxen ranches in the
unsettled regions of northern Can
sda.
Stefansson spent several weeks in
the northwest territory on his way
back 10 civilization. He holds that
the country is perfectly adapted to
the reindeer and musk-oxen industry
and declares that the government not
only can use this plan to open this
territory to settlement, but that it
can put reindeer meat on the market
and help reduce the high cost of
living. Much of the unrest in Can
ada has officially been charged to
! soaring prices for necessities, par
ticulariy food and clothing.
..'It's an old story-the tale of the
reindeer in Lapland," said Stefansson
upon his arrival here from Lake
Louise. Chicago packers often
boast that they can every part of
the hog, including the squeal. Why,
] Laplanders had this idea thousand
years ago. The reindeer provides
them with food, fuel, clothing,
household materials and implements
for hunting"

HINES TELLS WHY
Government DID
NOT RAISE Rates
Benefit Would Have Been for
Private Ownership at End
Of Federal Control, Says
Director.

Reasons for the refusal OF the
United States Railroad administra,
ton to raise rates in spite of pres
sure brought to bear by the Asso-
citation Of Railroad Executives for
the raise, are given in a statement
by Director General Walker D.
Hines, received by John Mellen,
traffic agent for the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad here.
The statement, which is signed by
R. H. Ashton. regional director for
the northwestern group of rail-
roads, is an answer to resolution
passed by the Association of Rail
road Executives Directing to the
attitude assumed by the director
general that the administration
should not undertake to raise the
rates.
Director General Hines is. quoted
in the statement in part as follows:
1.-THE suggestion of the railroad
executives that the administration
should make increases in rates can
mean only one thing-that the ad-
ministration shall make these in
creases during federal control for
the exclusive benefit of the railroads
under private ownership after the
end of federal control"
Referring to a suggestion by rail-
road executives that rates should be
increased because expenses had
been increased under federal con-
troll, the director general is quoted
as saying that increases in expense
of operation are not due to federal
control, but due to the same reasons
which increased the expenses of any
other industry.

Opera Will Link Omaha
With Big Music Capitals
Verdis Masked Ball' Rarely Given Outside of
Worlds Great Lyric Temples Bonc and Destinn
to Add Glamour to Representation Here Next
Tuesday.

early puritanical days of our colon
les, but there are few grand operas,
especially those composed before
Wagner changed the complexion Of
the lyric drama, without some ludi-
crous phases.
The opera was success from the
start. II marks what some are
pleased to call the last part of
Verdis middle period. "Rgofetto,"
"Trovatore" and "Traviata" and
many other had preceded it and the
only ones to follow were LA Forza
del Destino (The Force Of Destiny,)
Don Carlos" aida" Otello" and
"Falstaff."
Some critics do not recognize the
three Verdi periods" advancing the
idea that the various changes in
style found in his work merely mark
the successive development of his
marvellous genius, and the effort on
his part to meet the refining taste
of the public that is observable in
each decade of his creative activity.
But we need not bother about this
argument here; it is sufficient that
the notable operas of all three of his
periods" have lived and, that we
shall hear one of the finest of them
here.
Interest will be added to the per-
Torrance of "The Masked Ball"
here by the appearance of Alessan-
dro Bonci, the famous tenor, who
has been absent from this country
for several years, and Emmy Des-
tim, the dramatic soprano who has
just reached America after a long
interment in Bohemia. She now
calls herself Ema Destinova, which
is Czecho- Slovakian.
