asking them the question: If 1,2S0
reindeer in Is years produced the pres
ent 100000 animals, what is likely to
be the increase from 100000 animals in
the next % years. The increase is al
most unbelievable In other words, the
industry. properly handled, should have
great future.
The Alaskan firm which has started
the industry exported 600 head to
Seattle last year. They have established
four small cold storage plants at points
on the Alaskan coast, where the rein
deer can readily be driven down for
slaughter, to be refrigerated and loaded
for shipment. l have recently been
studying the possibilities of the Alaskan
reindeer industry when well developed.
/ believe Alaska contains available
range to maintain from four to five mil
lion reindeer. The estimate has been
made that it would take care of 10000
900, but I think that it is too high.
Five million reindeer would give an
output of about 100000 reindeer a
year. Dressed for market, one now av-
crages $50 pounds. Taking this weight
and the present value of reindeer meat.
the fully developed reindeer industry in
Alaska should yield approximately $43,-
100000 Il year.
"There are big herds of wild caribou
about the Mount Mckinley region. some
bulls OF which dress up to about 400
pounds. We plan to capture some bulls
of this stock, and use them with an ex-
perimental herd of reindeer cows for the
purpose of building up a higher grade of
reindeer. having greater weight and in
creased hardness. | believe it will be
practicable in less than 10 years to have
the reindeer of Alaska running from
go to 800 pounds to the carcass, in
stead of $50 pounds, as at present. The
increased weight would increase the
value of the fully developed Alaska
reindeer industry enough to bring the
potential output around S60,000000 at
present values. That is more than the
fisheries of Alaska produce.
"Stefansson, the arctic explorer, was
here recently. He is interested in the
lease granted by the Canadian govern
ment for Il great area for reindeer graz
ing in the Bafin's Bay region. He in
formed me that in the Scandinavian
countries of Europe about 100000 rein
deer are killed for meat each year.
We are talking about helping to
build up Alaska, and here is one thing
that is right in sight today-a fine, big
industry for Alaska. and l do not know
of any other like it in the immediate
future. The future looks so promising
that the expenditure which we contemp-
late is trifing compared with what the
outcome is likely TO be"

Would Raise Larger
Reindeer i'm Alaska

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Santa
Claus's reindeer have promise of becom-
ing a factor i'll the meat supply of this
country, as they are in Scandinavia
where reindeer meat last year sold at
q higher price than beef or mutton. The
government is going to aid in putting the
infant industry of Alaska on its feet by
experiments in increasing the reindeer
weight to about double the present aver,
age, scientifically breeding them, locat,
ing ranges and scientifically studying
their diseases and grazing problems
Provision is made in the agricultural ap,
preparation bill of this year for that
purpose.

WHITE SOX PLAYERS
ON TRIAL MONDAY
Evidence That Everyone Connected With
Conspiracy Was Double Crossed
Is ENnncfeI

CHICAGO. March 12.-The trial of
Chicago White Sox baseball players
charged with throwing the 1919 world
series, which begins Monday before Judge
is expected to bring forth evidence that
almost everyone connected with the al
legged conspiracy was d0uble-crOSSed III
some way.
The loss by Charles \. Comiskey, owner
of the club, of his championship team
and of players valued collectively as high
as S300,0OO was looked upon at the time
of the jury investigation as double-cross-
ing unparalleled in baseball history. les
timOny given before the grand jury and
which probably will be introduced during
the trial, indicated that the alleged plans
OF the gamblers charged with fixing the
series and OF players charged with throw
ing it, also went astray in several respects
This testimony, given by witnesses, was
to the effect that the gamblers double
crossed certain players by not making
good on promised brides certain players
in return dOuble-crosSed the gamblers by
winning game on which the gambler
had pyramided previous winnings and
thus lost many thousands of dollars for
the hNers. and that some players even
doublecrossed each other
Chicago lost the first two games of the
series and on these two games various
gamblers were said to have won many
thousands of dollars. Claude Williams
and Joe Jackson, in their grand jury
confessions, said that the players were
promised certain amount of money after
each game, but only Cicotte, Jackson and
Williams confessed to receiving money.
According to some of the evidence, certain
players became very angry when the
gamblers failed to make good on the
promise of payments after each game and
having thus been dDublecrOssed by the
gamblers did their best to win the third
game of the series
The gamblers, it was said. pyramided
their bets, betting on the second game
against Chieago-all they had won the
hrst. The combined winnings were placed
on Cincinnati to win the third game and
when Dick Kerr came through with q t.
q victory, in which he was aided by in
dlcted players, the gamblers lost every
thing.
Felsch, Weaver. Risberg and NIcMulliu
MAINTAIN that they never entered the con.
Splracy and never received money. Jack
son and Williams deny they threw games
although admitting they received money
CIcotte confessed to receiving money am
to one intentional misplay Gandil has
never surrendered, but in press statements
was quoted as denying that he took am
part in the deal. He was named by vii
lams as the man who gave him $1,000
however, $1,000 for himself and $500,
for Jackson.
