Local supenintendents of reindeer herds, and natives, have during the past winter made strenuous efforts to recover the numerous herds of stray deer that have been roaming over the country for some time. and have re- ported that many of the strays have been recovered Wales estimates that they have brought in at least two thousand deer. Contrary to general opinion, the conditions prevailing have not been due to laxity on the part of the native herders. but to the fact tha. there has been and still is, an al9dm-
 ing shortage of competent kerders.
 The recent epidemic was responsible, for the carrying away of practically all our best and reliable reindeer men in the villages where the disease pre-: vailed. and thus the industry has ir such places fallen into the hands nf men of little or no experience, with but a few ipani men to instruct them in the business of taking care Of the reindeer. However the situation Is gradually improving and we look for a speedy return to normal conditions.

 Forgive my sad and thoughtfrl mein. And this atrocious verse. For things are not what they seem. Some times they are worse. of pesky skeeters now I write. Of skeeters old and young. read to the end, and then you might. Find that you've been s,ung. They attack us in our seats of thought. In high and lowly places. They bite us where they didn't ought, For shame We hide our faces. The dear old sacred head so bald, It only makes them grin. No bit abashed. nc whit appalled,. They plunge their sabres in. No sentiment or love ere burns. Within the little devils. They're soul less. hcartless. unconcerned. And glory in their revels. They veiw their vic- tim and reck not, If they bust their little necks. In searching out likely spot Embarrassed not by sex. There's reason in their every plan. For logic none excel. They turn the humblest. poores, man. Into a bowling swell. Creative too intheir. own way, With genius galore. They made bumps grow I'm sad to say. Where none have grown before. Our futile efforts at defense. With dope or flimsy veil. Give cause for laughter loud immense. For alas they only fail. The mesh that shrouds the face so sweet, The barrier and tdead-line, Somehow. somewhere admit the skeet. Who in- vites his friends to dine. The pest that dwell within this land. Are we'll bred, fat and sleek, Red blood. blue blood. it beats the band. How much they drink a week. Within each skeeter's little tum. There's yank and foreign rations. Wen soon be hearing that each one. Has formed a league of nations. But if you would this pest abate. I'll tell you what to do. Bedeck yourself in armor-plate. Or smear your face with glue.

The Bureau of Education has add ed another village to it's long list of real up-to-date progressive communi- ties that of Shishmareff. As re- sultof our representatives, work at that place, large number of furs were brought to Nome and sold. the proceeds being sent outside tos pur- chase a stock of goods to enable the natives at that place to open a coop errative store during the coming year. The skins were disposed of only q very short time before the big slump in fur prices and a good sprice was obtained for some. The natives of Shishmareff have in years past been compelled to travel many miles in or der to purchase the necessities of life, but it was only during the past year. when fur prices reached the top notch, that they were able to spare sufficient funds for them to purchase stock of goods. The cooperative stores under the Bureau of Education have been uniformly successful, in spite of the fact that several of them were start
 ed on the proverbial 'shoe-string. :" Wales in particular which started only q few years ago began with q capital of about five hundred dollars, but is now one of our most success full stores in this district, and this year will have a large and complete stock.

FATAL SHOT FOLLOWS
ALLEGED WHISKY DEAL
Henry Abramovitz Arrested After
Death of George Moore From
Wound He Received.

George Moore, thirty years old, AZ
Capitol court southwest, is dead, and
Henry Abramovitz. eighteen years old,
Vendome Hotel. is under arrest for
alleged murder, as result of a
shooting on H street between Half
and 1st streets southwest, about $50
o'clock last evening. The shooting
followed trouble between the men re-
sulting from whisky deal, which.
1t Is stated, involved the sale of a
quantity of liquor to Moore.
Less than one hour after the shoot
ing Detective E. w. Boyle of the
second precinct arrested Abramovitz
at 9Th and F streets.
Abramovitz was turned over to po-
lice of the fourth precinct and con-
nned in the station, where several
persons present at the Staying also
were held as witnesses. Police say
Abramovitz claimed weapon was
drawn on him and that he fired be-
cause he thought his life was endan-
gered.
Colored witnesses told the police an
entirely different story Of the cir
cumstances. 1t was learned by De-
tectives Morgan and Flaherty, assist
ing police of the fourth precinct in
the Investigation. that Moore and
visited lunchroom in South Wash
ington and borrowed $50 with which
to purchase whisky.
From the lunchroom they drove to
the Vendome in an automobile, police
were told, and there they saw Abram-
ovitZ. Soon the whisky. twenty pints,
was obtained. and two automobiles.
that in which the colored men rode
and one in which Abramovitz had the
whisky, started for south Washing
ton. Not far from where the shooting
occurred, it is stated, Moore and
Abramovitz entered an alley to con-
clude the whisky deal. the former
having complained that the whisky
was barrel stuff and not bonded
liquor. as he had been promised he
would get.
1t was said by colored witnesses
that the two men came from the
alley and that Abramovitz drew his
weapon without apparent provocation
and fired two shots. Jumping into
his machine. they stated. he drove
rapidly away. Taylor and another
person named Payne picked up the
body of their friend and drove to
the fourth precinct police station.
From there the body was taken to the
morgue.
DR.. W. Browne Carr, deputy coro-
ner, started an investigation of the
tragedy, and it is probable that Dr.

expected to return to the city today,
will conduct an inquest at the morgue

POLICE SEEK TRAIL

AT LEXINGTON, KY.
New York Murder Theory Is
Based on Threats Made
by Girls Relative.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. June 16-Whethel
new light will be shed on the myster!
surrounding the murder of Joseph B
Elwell, sportsman and whist expert
depends on reports expected today
from detectives who were sent to Lex
ington. KY, to follow up what the
police considered the most plausible
clue to the identity of his assailan'
yet brought forward.
According to Edward Swami. dis
trict attorney, who personally has
taken charge of the investigation, re-
liable information was given that Mr.
Elwell left Lexington June i. sud
denly as a result of threats on his
life by the father or brother OF
prominent girl of that city. Mr.
Swami declined to name the Lexing-
ton family.
Examination of numerous friends OF
the dead man, both men and women,
has caused detectives to abandon the
idea that he was killed by any one
because of jealousy.
"Of this one thing we are con-
vinced," said Mr.. Swami "The muir

Police Theory of Visit.
The hunt for the supposed Ken
Theory that the girls relative came
to New York bent on vengeance, and
finding Elwelrs address in the tele-
phone book, waited his opportunity.
1t is believed the slayer saw the post
man deliver the mail which Elwell
received about o'clock in the morn
ing, and as soon as the postman was
out of sight the man rang the bell.
The police think Elwell admitted
the stranger and together they went
into the reception room where his
body was found by the housekeeper
about $3.50 am.
Four letters were found on a table
near the chair in which Elwell sat
in his pajamas. and a fifth. opened
and blood-stained, lay on the floor.
The police believe the murderer shot
the sportsman after briefly stating his
mission.
