Think of the vast fortunes made

from the cattle ranges of the middle western states by those who began in small way when the business was young. Many a man who Sta".cd with a dozen head of cattle is now mill ionair. Hrere is chance to do the same thing in an enormous virgin country. From the ease with which the natives tend their herds it is seen to be a simple matter; all the owner has to do it to keep track of them on the grazing fields while they multiply his fortune. Not native, or white, who has invested in reindeer has lost any thing, as the hardness of the animal seems to have removed all chances in the game.
 It seems to lss that this meat busi- ness should bring a better and quicker return than agriculture, and gives an unlimited chance for expansion. The country is ripe for the Cattle man" and it will be 90 or 100 years before the farmer begins to crowd him out as has happened in the States during the past 90 years. Here, the hcrdsman do esnt need even a dog or horse; noth- ing but camping outfit which he can pack around on the reindeer's backs: and he need not kill his own deer for his own use as the country provides plenty of game. Just some baking, flour. salt. etc. same as a prospcctor; aud Speaning of proSpectors manes us think of the added attraction of the business because of the opportunity the herdsman has to constantly pros pect while with his herds. Take your "grubStake" and get psospector' $ outfit, as many reindeer as you can, get into the Broad Pass country, and make money while you hunt the region over for the Mine. The longer you keep at it the richer you grow, mine or no mine.
 We believe the Government would make master stroke for the opening up of Alaska, if it would furnish each prospector a bunch of reindeer if he would agree to herd them for two or three years and sell only the increase. Enough of the men would stay with the business to make it paying ven- eure in exploitation.
 We prophecy right here that very shortly there is going to be big rush into this business on a great scale; but as yet only a very few have wak- ed up to it's possibilities for wealth.

NEW TUNNEL

;, NEW YORK, Oct., 23-- Construc- ton of vehicular. tunnel under the Hudson River between New York and Jersey City has been started with the breaking of ground for one of the sube's big airshafts. State, county and municipal officials from both states have been invited to participate in the ceremonies in Manhatten this after noon.
 Engineers expect to complete the structure by 1924. The cost, estimated at $29.0OO,0OO, is to be borne equally by the two states. Shore works, in- cluding shafts and approaches, will re- quire Is months to construct, afte" which actual work of boring under the river is to begin.
 Continued congestion at th fei rit $ between New York and New Jersey prompts the belief of tunnel engineers chat $500, 900 motor and horse-drawn conveyances will use the tube in 1924, with traffic showing steady in- .resase, reaching an annual figure of !2.0O0 ,0W vehicles by 1943. Tolls bas- .d on the ferry rates will he levied tor 20 years to pay for the tube. aad then it would be free for the use of all
 Four drivewayS, two in each direc- jon, will be provided. A sidewalk, two feet in width, also is planned. The tunnel, comprising twin cast-ircn tubs each with an external diameter of go feet. will be six feet wider than ;he Pennsylvania Railroad tubes uA- Ter the Hudson East Rivers.
 Traffic blockades, now common on ferries. would be precluded by. provid- ing at each end of the tube derrick equipped trucks to take stalled auto mobiles in ow. Three driveways in each direction will be furnished on the approaches. because slight inclines there are expected to slow down the movement of the vehicular queues. Ventilation to rid the tunnel carbon monoxide gases from autoao- bile exhausts will be furnished by four large shafts and also by an air duct under the roadway and an exhaust lbove. Smoky vehicles circulate pois- onous gas freely in closed places but chemists working on the tunnel ven- tilation system estimate that at the highest point of saturation there will be only $ l-2 parts of carbon iaonox- idle to 10000 parts of air in the tube. It requires S. parts of the gas to l0,- 600 parts of air they figured, to give a man headache.

REINDEER FARMS

We have just seen a despatch which states that the famous Arctic explor- CT Vilhjalmur Stefansson is in East- ern Canada now perfecting plans for the establishment of vast reindeer ranch some where in the north. He has just returned from England, where he is said to have obtained all the necessary capital. Mir. Stefan sson iS enthusiastic in the belief that tie barrer lands of the north will furnish ail the n.eat Tor North America n a comparatively short time.
 nf t., many great induStneS which are sure in the near future of Alaska, iS this one of raising reindeer to com pete with beef. The meat is as edible as beef according to those who have eaten it. and some claim that it is ev- cn more palatable Its food qualities have been proven beyond doubt, and no argument on that score need be ad- vanced. The other questions of the speed of increase: the area of the grazing land: the amount of care re- uuired and the markets for the meat arc now answered
 The. growth of the reindeer herds in Alaska during the past 10 years has demonstrated that the increase is even. if not better, than cattle; and even the limited surveys already show that reindeer flouriSheS over suf- ficient territory to support millions of head The recent report of MT. l.Opp that a: vast area of land adjOurning the Government Railway in the Broad Pass region Is suitable for reindeer grazing, adds to the known lands to the west and north. AS Seward must be the shipping port for the meat there will be great cold storage ware houses here. Undoubtedly the slaugh- tering time will be in the late fall just as the snow gets deep and the weather steadily below the freezing point. The reindeer will be driven to the railroad, killed and shipped by thrain load to Seward, where it will be sorted and stored in the warehouses to await the eoidstorage ships. Transportation of the meat was the chief drawback heretofore, but now that the lands near the railroad are declared perfect for the range of great herds, the last objection to engaging in the industry has been removed, and it is up to our enterprising citizens to get in on the ground floor of the meat business.
