 So far as meat is concerned in Alaska the H. c. of l.. is about to receive a solar plexus and it is the reindeer that will deliver the blow. Heretofore, and even now, the ma
 jority of people look upon the rein deer as sort of a myth, used only by Santa Claus in making his annual Christmas rounds and by lovelorn Laplanders when they speed across couple of hundred miles of tundra to spend the long Arctic evenings with some fur-clad Lapess. But the reindeer is be- coming very much of a reality in our far northern possession, and in the not distant future reindeer meat will be extensively used, not only in Alaska, but wherever transporta- iton rates permit of it being in- troduced.
 It was in 1892, twenty-eight years ago, that the first reindeer
 were brought to Alaska. During that year and the following eleven years-until 1904-reindeer to the number of 1,2S0 were imported from Siberia. From that nucleus the number has grown to at least 125,000; and many in position to know assert that the number will reach between 135,000 and 10000. The primary object of the intro- duction of reindeer into Alaska was to make the Natives economically independent, and this purpose has
 been accomplished to a very de- cided and gratifying extent. The idea originated with the Federal Bureau of Education, which has the care of the Alaska Natives in charge. By a system of apprenticeship a Native serves four years in learn | ing to care for the deer and re- ceives 6, 8, 10 and 12 deer as his pay for the first, second, third and fourth years respectively. At the Ohu ol hio dppItHtiCcouip Hc io d full-fledged herder and assumes charge of his own herd. After it attains sufficient size, he in turn, is required to take on an appren- | tice. Thus the system of distribu- | tion among the Natives is perpet-
 uated. and any Native desirous of owning deer can either acquire them i by becoming an apprentice or he
 can purchase them outright from another Native.
 But under the reindeer rules and
 regulations prescribed by the Blu
 reau of Education, Native owners
 of deer are prohibited from dispos-
 ing of female deer except to other
 natives. The result is that the in
 dustry is largely restricted to the
 Native people although a number
 If independent owners are now get l szaSH sSDuAn
The Alaska daily empire., 1920-03-24

ting large holdings an animals
 There are no restrictions on this lat
 ter class and they are at liberty to
 dispose of their deer as they see fit
 That the experiment has proved a
 great success among the Natives is
 conceded by all familiar with the
 operation of the reindeer system in
 Alaska. The deer furnish the Ma
 tives with food. clothing and trans
 portation, and where local mar
 ket is available. considerable
 source of income through the sale of
 meat and hides.
 So thorough has been the distri-
 button of reindeer among the Ma tives that the government now holds title to only about three per cent. of the deer in Alaska, nearly sev- enty per cent being owned by the Natives and the remaining twenty seven per cent. by Laplanders and whites The Lapps are not restrict ed in the disposition of their stock,
 which they acquire as pay for teach ing the Natives the art of herding. It is from the Lapps mostly that the white independent owners have secured the nucleus of their present rapidly multiplying herds. In fact, so rapidly have these herds grown that the industry has now reached the stage where an outside market is necessary in order that the sur plus reindeer meat can be disposed of.
 While so-called reindeer moss constitutes the principal diet of rein deer in localities where it abounds, 1t has been demonstrated that they i do well on general forage such as
 grass small brush, buds and leaves.
 In fact, deer are doing well in every section of Alaska where they have been introduced. The first deer i'm ported into Alaska were placed or Seward Peninsula which is sur rounded on three sides by Kotze-
 bue Sound, Boring Sea and Norton
 Sound But at present vast herds are thriving at various points in the Yukon, Tanana and Kuskokwim valleys. The Bureau of Education contemplates starting other herds in
 the Copper River valley and in var ious other places in the near future Contrary to general belief, the

reindeer are not highly prolific. The female deer usually give birth tc but one lawn a year. If there are twins. one or both of the lawns usually die The rapid increase of deer. therefore. is due to the re- markable hardihood of the lawns, where there is but one, as they are strong and very fleet of foot when but few hours old Early fecun- dity also tends to rapid increase, as a yearling reindeer usually repro duces. It seems that even when very young the reindeer are practi- cally immune from cold-and they need to be in Interior Alaska where 60 degrees below zero is not un- usual.

tors. who are voted for by all citizens

1t is also instructive to note that in
Russia the voters consist only of all
over Is years of age who have ac-
quired the means of living through
manual labor, and also persons en-
gagged in housekeeping for the former:
soldiers of the Army and Navy. and
members of the above classes when
incapacitated. That is to say, all mer-
chants, all ministers, all who have an
income from capital or property. all
who employ hired labor. such as man
ufacturers, and every farmer who en-
ployes even one helper, is cut off from
all voice in the Russian Government
Mr.. French, in his pamphlet, sums
up his analysis of the Russian system
as follows:
1. The people have no direct vote
or voice in government. except the
farmers in their local rural soviets and
the city dwcllers in their urban So
viets.
?. The rural. county provincial, re-
gional. and All-Russian soviets are
elected indirectly, and the people have
no direct vote in the election.
8. The people have no voice in the
election of executive officers of the
highest or lowest degrees.
