any map. They form one Of the prin-
cipal range districts in the state. To
the west of these mountains is a long,
narrow strip of desert country, low
lying valley plains about 200 miles IN
length, running along the Rio Grande'
northwest into New Mexico. THESE
valleys are not defined on any map
published.
The Diablo country consists Of un-
dulating plains. with peaks of various
sizes and kinds, extending into the
Sacramento mountains OF New Mexico.
The railroad follows valley secured
out of the vast plain, extending north
west into New Mexico and southwest
into Mexico. The traveller from FL
raso to the New Mexico line is always
either upon or In sight Of this plain for
about 25O miles. The surface is so
smooth, except where it is broken
rarely by peaks, that it seems as level
as floor. The plain is inclosed on
all sides by wall Of higher mountain

people have asked me what the
future Of the industry Is likely to be"
said DR.. Nelson. II have replied by
asking them the question: If 1880
reindeer in % years produced the
present 100000 animals, what is like
ly to be the increase from 100000 ami
mails in the next % yearsT The in
crease Is almost unbelievable. In 9TH
81: words, the industry, properly han.
adled, should have a great future.
'sThe Alaskan firm which has started
the industry exported 1000 head to
Seattle last year. The firm has es-
tablished four small cold storage
plants at points on the Alaskan coast
where the reindeer can readily be
driven down for slaughter to be re-
frigerated and loaded for shipment.
II believe Alaska contains available
range to maintain from four to five
million of reindeer. The estimate has
been made that it would take care
of 10,000.000, but think that is too
high.
Five million reindeer would give
an average output of about 100000
reindeer year. Dressed for market
an animal now averages $50 pounds.
Ii, nitrh@ hn
value of reindeer meat, the fully de-
veloped reindeer industry in Alaska
should yield approximately S43,OOO.OOO
year. Reindeer have been in Alaska
% years and their increase under
crude methods of handling has been
almost startling. Under proper scien-
tific supervision and modern methods
the industry should develop very rap
idly,
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 experimental herd Of reindeer cows
for the purpose of building up a high
err grade Of reindeer. having greater
weight and increased hardness. / be-
lieve it will be practicable In less than
ten years to have the reindeer Of Alas
ka running from 25O to 300 pounds
to the carcass, instead Of $50 pounds
as at present.
"The increased weight would In.
crease the value Of the fully developed
Alaska reindeer industry enough to
bring the potential output around Co.
600. 1000 at present value. 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
government for great area for rein
deer grazing in Baffin's bay region. He
Informed me that in the Scandinavian
countries of Europe about 200 900 rein
deer are killed for meat each year.

Austin, Tex.-According to DIR. Rob-

has just finished a study of the topo-
graphical features of Texas and is
making a report on the subject for the
United States geological survey, until
recently all existing maps give an in
accurate idea as to the geography of
the state, particularly with reference
to the courses of the Rio Grande on
the South and the Red River on the
north. Mr.. Hill says that all current
maps Of Texas locate the Rio Grande,
which has always been accepted as the
boundary between this country and
Mexico, inaccurately. The maps in
clude In Texas strip of territory av-
eraging Is miles In width and IS miles

World war, when special surveys of
the border were made by the War de-
partment, nothing was known Of the
Rio Grande district. These maps. since
published by the department, revealed
the mistake In current maps.

There Is no map published showing

NOT PURELY PSYCHOLOGICAL

NOT "PURELY PSYCHOLOGICALr
WASHINGTON, Aug. 70. = Con-
trasting the industrial depression of
1914 with the situation today the
Republican Publicity Association has
this to say in a statement issued
through the president of that organ
ization, Honorable Jonathan Bourne,
Jr.:
Following the Inauguration of
the Democratic administration in
1913 and the enactment of a demo-
cratic tariff law. there was q period
Of decline in industry due largely to
the fact that the United States was
increasing its imports and decreas-
ing its exports. giving o employ
ment to foreign and less employment
to American labor. There were
long lines Of unemployed getting free
food from bread wagons and soup
carts. President Wilson's explanation
Of the depression was that 1t was
purely psychological There were
5000, 900 men out of employment.
at is said that there are four mil
lion men out of employment now,
but the Republicans make no claim
that it is a purely psychological
condition. We admit that the pres
emit condition is due to a number of
very definite causes, chiefly reaction
from wal conditions, but accumulated
by the waste and extravaganza of the
Wilson regime, the heavy taxes
necessitated by the extravaganza, the
deflation policy adopted by the DEM
ocratic Federal Reserve Board. the
scrambling of the railroads by the
McAdoo management, and the
paternalistic policies pursued by the
Democrats during all their eight
years OF rule.
1.-THE present condition is not
purely psychological, and neither
was the depression that followed the
adoption Of a free trade policy in
1913. There was a very real cause
for the depression that afflicted the
country during the first two years
of the Wilson administration-and
relief came only when the war fur
nished this country with unpreced-
ented markets at unprecedented
prices. with no competition from
abroad. The Democratic admins
tration was not required to do any
thing to get the nation out Of its
difficulty then.
There is also a real cause for
present conditions, but apparently
nothing but hmard work, sound leg
tslation, and wise economy on the
part of the administration and the
people will restore the country to
prosperity"
