years runs into big figures and Dr. Nelson is of the opinion that the ani- mals will be so plentiful at the end of the next five years that Alaskans need not look elsewhere for meat There will be plenty reindeer meat for and at price that will remove the temptation to kill moose and caribou for the local markets.
 One method of improving the herds will be to cross=breed them with the caribou of the interior by capturing and placing young caribou bulls with the reindeer Dr. Nelson's assistant MT. o. J. Nitric will make Fairbanks his headquarters for the coming year and will spend most of his time Investigating the great caribou herds for which this region is famous. This will be for the purpose of getting information to be used in the breed ing experim rents. The reindeer being killed for shipment out of the cOun try now dress about 150 pounds each and it is believed the weight can be brought up to nearly or quite double that amount
 The Loman Brothers company at Nome now own nearly 30,000 reindeer This company is building a cold stor age plant at Golovin bay and another at Egowik, a few miles from Unalak leet to prepare the carcases for ship ment to Seattle. Next season will see the beginning of regular exportatior of meat from Alaska which within 2 few years will not only solve the meat
 problem of this territory but vii make a notable addition to the food Isupply of the United States.
 Tn addition to being chief of the biological survey, Dr. Nelson is charged with the administration o1 the laws regulating the taking of fu1 bearing land animals and is also in charge of the administration of game laws, of witch, by the way, he says he has found evidence of considerable violation, particularly with regard tC the safe of menat out of season.
 This is not Dr. Nelsons first visit to Alaska since he lived in St. Mich ael from 1877 to 1881 from which point he made long trips into the in- terior and along the coast as far as Point Barrow. Ever since that time he has been keenly interested in the territory and desires to do all that lies in his power to promote the develop ment of the country.

TEST GOOD ROAD MATERIALS
Secured In Experiments BY
Public Roads Bureau.

IT is believed that the bureau of
public roads, United States depart
ment Of agriculture, through Its test
ing division has done more than any
other single agency In developing the
intelligent use of bitumens In road
construction. For example. expert
ments conducted under service con-
dltions by this bureau decided wheth-
er n soft stone could be used in
bituminous macadam and bituminous
concrete; whether rocks having n
marked cleavage could be used to ad-
vantage In such construction; what
quantities Of bitumen give the best re-
suits when used as surface treatments
on waterbound macadam and what
kind of covering material and what
quantities should be used In any case.
A large amount OF detailed techni.
cal Information valuable to highway
engineers generally has been secured
by the bureau In the course of Its
research and experimental work. The
ability Of the highway engineer to
construct roads which would accom-
modate automobile traffic has, in no
small degree, been the underlying
reason that the automobile industry
has developed to its present enormous
proportions.
In 1916 the passage of the federal
aid road act marked new epoch In
highway construction In the United
States. The war then in progress EN-
phasIzed the need of further develop
ments In road building. The bureau

other ends to short stick few
inches apart. Then with the tubing
held taut the stick Is revolved slowly,
twisting the two tubes together, the
rags being fed between the tubes as
they are twisted so that a quantity of

This process is continued until about
a 20-inch length of the tubing has
been twisted. The ends are then cut

In the pipe cap, and soldered there,

PROPER way TO
"BREAK IN" CAR
1t Should Be Carefully Handled
and fabricated for the
First 500 Miles.
GIVE RADIATOR ATTENTION
Examine Storage Battery to See II
Properly Charged and Full Of
Distilled Water-First Learn
How to Stop Auto.

When your new car Is delivered, re-
member that all working parts are
new, fitted very tightly, and should
be handled slowly until the car Is run
several hundred miles. II Is advisable
to drive slowly anf carefully for the
first 500 miles, giving such parts as
motor bearings, pistons and various
other parts fitted tightly chance to
wear In somewhat. See that your car
has been gone over thoroughly for oil
and grease; particularly the motor,
transmission, rear axle and all grease
cups.
Flush Out Radiator.
The radiator should be flushed out
and filed with clean water, as sedi-
ments of solder or other foreign mat
ter sometimes remain In new radiators
and may work into water pump or
other working parts, causing damage.
Have the storage battery examined
to note that same Is properly charged
and full enough of distilled water.
Often new cars remain In storage be-
fore delivery is made, which would
cause battery to run low from stand
Ing. If battery is used in this weak
ened condition 1t often happens the
entire battery is ruined.
Don't let the man who Is teaching
you how to drive your new car go until
he has explained carefully all of the
necessary functions of Its operation
and care. The spark lever is mounted
on the steering wheel for n purpose.
Learn to use II properly. Shifting Of
gears and the release of the clutch
must also be known to operate your
car correctly.
Learn Hew to Stop.
Don't forget to become thoroughly
acquainted with the brakes, as II is
more important to know how to stop
than II is to know how to run.
After you have driven new car
about 200 or 300 miles, 1t should be
gone over and all bolts and nuts test
ed to see that they are secured and
tight. Thereafter your car should
have such inspection about every
1000 miles.
Your new car should not be kept In
barn or stable and exposed to
fumes, etc. Remember. while the car
Is still new the varnish Is soft, or
still green, and II exposed to such un-
favorable conditions will turn dull.
Mud should not be allowed to remain
on new car. for new car will show
spots more quickly than an old car.
Road and traffic rules are all-im-
portant. Don't fail to post yourself
on them. Your dealer will gladly In
form you.
One of the most essential points In
the proper upkeep of new car is how
to keep It oiled and creased. Study
the chart of fabrication, which is
furnished with all makes Of automo-
biles, and be sure to, follow instruc-
tionA This alone wiIlsavoid the pay
ment Of big repair bits.
