DEMAND FOR REINDEER MEAT
IN u. S. SEEN BY ALASKAN
C.. J. Lomen Says Industry Will Grow to
Great Proportions-Heavy Ship
ment Already Sent Here.

Not only is the reindeer industry
one of the most promising and i'm
portant of the Alaskan industries, but
it bids fair to become one OF the
popular enterprises of the United
States. according to Carl }. Lomen,
an Altskan pioneer in the develop
ment of reindeer herds for 1000 con-
sumption, who is now in Washington.
He appeared before the ways ana
means. committee of Congress and
gave an interesting and detailed ac-
count of this industry while adVocat-
ing a duty on the Importation OIL REIN
deer meat. He contends that rem
deer meat is destined to become one
of the popular foods.
More than a quarter of million
hounds of reindeer meat were shipped
to the United States from Alaska last
year, and. according to Mr.. Lomen,
the shipments this year Will undoupt-
eddy exceed million pounds.
Meat Growing in Favor.
Increased consumption of this meat
is only a matter of education ana
time. according to Mr.. Lomen. II Is
growing more popular IN the states
each year, and with continued popu-
larity and improved FACILITIES for
handling and shipping and with the
constant decrease in the production
of the American cattle, the reindeer
is bound to become an important FAC
tor in the American household II the
vision and calculation of TINS Alaskan
nioneer and authorities of the bio
logical survey and the bureau of
education count for anything.
These two government agencies are
cooperating in aiding the develop
ment of the industry, and during the
twenty years since the first reindeer
we're imported into Alaska from ST.
IBERIA. the development has been such
az TO be hooked upon as remarkable.

in the far north has been a godsend

When asked how the reindeer meat
compares with other meats. Mr.. Lo-
men said: 81 can answer that by
quoting a gentleman living in Wash

1t is better than venison. I class it
with beef and mutton. 1t has dis

Mr. Lomen went to Alaska twenty
one years ago as gold prospector,
but after five exciting and trying
years in quest of the yellow metal he
conceived the idea of going into rein

future would become not only prof
