THE ruling of Doctor FiuCgan in the
l. Lancaster school case is likely to
attract national attention and to be
uoted in similar disputes wherever they
may arise.
The opinion which the state supcrin-
tendent of public instruction hands
down with his ruling lays down the
principles of sound educational policy
and defeLds them with such convincing
arguments that it will be difficult for
the Lancaster teachers to justify their
course even to their own reason.

maintains that during the lunar day

can only be accounted for by the
growth OF vegetation.

Portland, Me.-Maine last fall had
its first open season on moose in five
years and it is the opinion of Willis

game that another open season will
just about exterminate all the moose
in the Maine woods.
Moose had so increased in some
counties" he says in his report,
where they had not been hunted for
four years that they had become
quite tame and appeared often in the
settlements. But they fell an easy
prey to the hunters who had them To-

Deer hunters, according to his re-
port, had a big season also. Resi-
dents of the state took out S4,3l3
licences and non-residents received

REINDEER STEAK A
NEW MEAT SUPPLY.

San Francisco San Francisco next
summer is to have plenty of reindeer
steaks, chops and roasts, and while
the price may be As cents a pound
wholesale at first, it will go down as
the supply becomes more plentiful
through cold storage handling
1t became known that Jafet Linde-
berg of this city is the controlling
owner in the firm of Lomen & CO. OF
Nome, Alaska, and that through that
house he has planned to ship next
summer 5000 frozen earcasses of the
reindeer to the meat markets of this
city, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago and
New York.
Sells for IS Cents.
Lindeberg experimental in a small
way very successfully in this bust

price wholesale at Seattle was As

With continually increasing large
shipments to America cold storage

being owned by the natives.
This year | will build cold storage
plants in several American cities and

cases to them in properly equipped
vessels from Nome" he said recently
I'm many respects the reindeer is
one of the future meat supplies of the
United States. Twelve years ago there
were 1920 reindeer in Alaska. Now
there are 100000 There will be
million of them in very few years,
as they double in number every three
or four years. No females are killed;
only the surplus males are picked for
the market
