REINDEER FOR CANADA.
700 Coming to Be Bred With
Caribou.

THE PAS. Manitoba, October IL
Word has been received here that 70U
head of reindeer have been purchased
in Denmark on behalf of the Canadian
government. to be brought to Canada
for domestication with the wild carl
bou of the barren lands.
The experiment is the result Of
Vilhjalmur Stefanssons scheme, as
outlined to the Canadian government
some time ago. whereby he proposed
to form company to supply the
world with meat from the caribou of
the northern wastes.
Stefansson estimated that there was
ranging ground for an unlimited
stock of reindeer and caribou in the
far north country. and expressed the
strong belief that this industry would
flourish from the start.
AS means of transporting the meat
out Of the country it is likely that
the government will complete the
Hudson Bay railway, this being an
important link in the scheme.
