Alaska's Success
 With Reindeer
ZHerary DIeeSf)

The announcement that a ship ment of thirty thousand pounds of Alaskan reindeer meat has just been received at San Francisco calls attention, says The Trade Record issued by the The Nation al City Bank of New York, to the remarkable success of our rein deer experiment in Alaska, where the value of the reindeer herds, established a few years ago, is now counted by millions of dol lars.
 In the early part of our owner ship of Alaska, it seems, the Els, kimos were chiefly dependent up- on the whale, walrus, caribou and seal for their animal food, but with rapid destruction of these by the white mans rife, the supply of animal food, an absolute essential in that climate was greatly reduced, and the ex- istence of the Natives thus threat ened.
 This condition was brought to the attention of the public in the United States in the early nine ties by Dr. Sheldon Jackson who had been sent to Alaska by the Government to establish schools among the Natives, and he con- ceived the idea ofintroducing the reindeer, then unknown in Alas ka, but proving extremely useful in Siberia and Lapland. We read further:
 "As a consequence of this es- tablishment of the reindeer in- dustry in Alaska a quarter cen tury ago, the number of reindeer now scattered through that terri tory is about 40, ,0O0 and their value between three and four million dollars.
 So literally are the reindeer herds now supplying the Natives, their owners, with meats, milk, butter and cheese, that their owners are now able to spare

 T never saw so many wild ani- mals along the winter trail as on this trip. Near Minto we saw a black bear, and eight miles south of Pelly we saw band of wolves. They had tramped down a large space on the hillside until it was padded.
 After leaving Wheeler's until we got to Steele Fork we were in the midst of caribou, and saw thou sands of them. "-Dawson News.

Murderer
 Eats His Dogs

Baker Lake-To perish in a dri- wing blizzard after escape from the law, and mad flight for life over Arctic snows, was the fate of Ouan- Walk, Eskimo, murderer of two companions, according to informa- tion received here.
 In his battle for life the fugitive slayer resorted to his dogs for food when supplies gave out, and es- saved his last dash for freedom on foot into the face of an Arctic bliz- gard, where he finally cheated his pursuers in giving up his lite to the storm.
 Ouan-Wak was accused of the murder of two companions, cap tured by the Mounted Police and imprisoned at the post on Chester field Inlet. In the early winter he broke jail and fled southwest tow ard his home on Lake She-K o-Tig- You-Ak.
 Before starting he outhtted him. selt with supplies and dog team, stolen from the post, vestiges of which were found in hls last igloos far out on the trail.
 The Mounted Police started in pursuit, and both fugitive and pur- suers were retarded in the death chase by blizzards and the cold. Evidences showed the murderer S supplies were giving out, and that he had reached desperate straits be- fore making Baker Lake. Six weeks after his escape the police learned from the Natives at Baker Lake that Ouan-Wak had arrived just ahead of them, nearly starved. He remained one night at the post and set out on his long flight the next morning in a raging blizzard.
 The police tracked him closely from this point, and 75 miles south of Baker Lake found his last two igloos situated 10 miles apart. Here they identified articles stolen from Chesterfield Inlet.
 In the last igloo his pursuers found Ouan-Wak had killed his dogs for food and used the sleig h tor frewood. Tracks leading from the igloo showed the fugitive made his last attempt 10 reach the Eski- mo settlement, 75 miles distant, on foot.
 Without food, and wearled by the long flight, he was unable to withstand the rigor of the trip and in the blizzard which overlook him he perished.

Nelson Advises Branding Foxes
 For Protection
Organized Robbery h. dicated by Complaints

Branding and registration of foxes by Alaskan fox farmers as a means of checking depredations on their stock by thieves is recom- mended by Dr. E. w. Nelson, chief of the Biological Survey, in a let ter recently received from him by United States Attorney Shoup. MT. Shoup said that he had taken the matter up with the Biological Sur. vey as the result of numerous com plaints received by him from tox ranchers of their animals being stolen.
 Ut seems apparent from the complaints received at this office that org ganized robbery of the fox islands IS being carried out at least fairlysuccessfully," said MT. Shoup. We lave done what we could but under the circumstances we are naturally unable to protect all the islands on which fox farming is con- ducted and to do so would require a good sized fleet of patrol vessels which we do not possess.
 "As the Alaskan fox farmers do not carry out system ot branding their animals even where we might think we have located stolen ani- mals. such animals being without marks of identification, there is no means of verifying our suspicious. In fact, it is practically impossible to make a case unless the thief should be caught in the very act of robbery.'
 In his letter to Mir. Shoup, Dr. Nelson explained briefly the system which he believes will prove an aid in checking robbery of fox farms. He recommends the marking of young foxes by tatooing the ear. This method, he said, is commonly used by the Canadian government inspectors on Prince Edward Is- land, whose duty it is to inspect foxes and pass them for registra- ton. The tatooing is performed by an instrument which is made by placing very fine needles in design which forms the brand. The needles are dipped into ink and then pressed on the ear of the animals. Many firms, including several on the Pa cihc Coast, manufacture the above instrument.
 pr. Nelson has prepared an Alas ka game bill for introduction in Congress within the near future and said that he would include marking and registration clauses in that measure. It is hoped, he said, to get Congress to act favorably on the measure at its regular winter ion.-Empire.
