ALASKAN INDUSTRY

Reindeer meat has been on sale in snxill quantities in Seattle and neigh boring cities for a number of years says the Seattle Times.
 Every year has witnessed an in . crease in the amount shipped to this city and. barring some disaster to the herds. the volume of this business viii swiftly increase during the next de- cade.
 There is practically an unlimited market for the meat. It is open to none of the objections that limited .he demand for whale steak. To the contrary. 1. is eagerly welcomed by the public as q change from beef, pork and mutton.
 Up to the present. the number of reindeer in Alaska has not been sufii : cient to nElke the business profitable on q big scnle. Little or no effor. has been devoted to popukarizing it or even to acqulinting the public with it's presence on the market.
 Within five years, however, a very considerable packing business should be developed in Alassta. with it's American headquarters in Seattle. Thousands of tons of the commodity should be brought to Seattle for sale locally and for shipment to other parts of the country.
 Even after discUunting The sanguine predictions of Ahskans interested in the industry, the fact remains that an immense area in the territory, pres- emily available for no other form of farming, can be devoted profitIbly to the raising of reindeer both for their meat and for their hides.

AmuMosEn IN THE ARCTIC

In attempting to reach the far north in .he Arctic regions by drift ing with the polar currents, Captain Amundsen is taking a leaf out of Nansen's book. The Norwegian ex- plorer, when he set out on his north polar expedition in 1893 in the Fran, driftsd northward for two winters from New Siberia Islands ani then left the ship and. triveling over the ice, reached 'fartherst north" at Ss degrees l3 minutes. II Is from the zarle islands :tat Amundsen proposes to dfdft into that great unexplored ice-region that lies about the pole due north of Boring Sen and of A'aska- the region where S,nffans'n has had so many notable adventures.

ACTIVITY IN YUKON

Yukon is feeling the quickening in- quarters this year. Prospectors have succeeded in opening fields of promise and capital is taking hold in the Mayo district. in :he Fo1tymile. in the Whitehorse district and within the bounds of the old klondike camp pro- per. Options have been taken on pro- perties elsewhere.
 In the Fortymile three large new concerns have been prospecting and have spent much money in works of n large scale this season. In the placer district tributary to Dawson several dredges have started this year on new ground. and newly organized companies have them in charge and plan further dredges for the near fu- t,ire. This is particularly true of the Indian river side of the camp.
 In the Mayo district a new dredge has started. and silver mining has been started by one company this year on a scale involving the outlay of half a million dollars. which is merely q starter for the work in sight
 In the Wh,tehorse district investors have been busy this year making ex- tensfve inquiries. Properties have been taken under option in the Twelvemile country. The Atlin district. while outside of the Yukon. is tributary to it. and Is nanifesting new enterprise with prospect Of getting much capital soon.
 These new enterprises all will en- gage quite a little labor this winter. The prospects for winter activities have not been better since the early days when most Of the placer dumps were extracted in winter.
 The people Of Yukon are confident and are mnnifestins their faith by helping prospectors get into the field Many who some time ago thought of going outside for the winter have changed their minds. They prefer to remain in the land of virgin conditions and to have the chance of sharing new riches and prosperity. Outside are strikes. and many other unsettled conditions.

claims along the Wapshe ensued. But

subject to indefinite delay, at least un.

closed q split in party ranks, oppon-

Idaho, declared he had talked with
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes and they did not share such
views.
Twelve Democrats voted for the bill.
while seventeen Republicans voted
against it.
In referring to the armament con-
ference, Senator Borah said he did not
understand that this conference will
involve the United States barterlng

full understanding and discussion. The

Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
was among those who raised the ques-
ton of the armament conference. He
admitted that the United States had
the legal right to pass the bill, but said
there were potent reasons" against &C.

sentiments.
Arbitration was urged by Senators
