WRITER'S TOO SELF-CENTRED
Err In Making Members of Their Own:
Profession Heroes, Is Charge
Made by Critic.

Someone is always explaining what
IS the matter with American literature,
American drama and even American
poetry, and the latest diagnosis is that
they are suffering from in-breeding.
The critic who has made this dis
covery says that the literary and dra-
matte world has become too self.cen-
tered; Is going around In a circle In a
manner which produces wheels within
wheels; and for this reason authors
and piaywrights are forever flying Off
at an inartistic tangent and produc-
ing jazz literature and drama.
The favorite hero Of the novelist Is
the novelist, and he writes too much
about his early struggles with a cold
and hard-isted world; the dramatfst
takes the poor. oppressed writer of
plays. or for a diversion, the poor but
gifted actor. as his hero and draws
out their life story of Encouragement
and suffering and final triumph to n
fearful length.
The poet is even accused of prefer
ring TO write Of poet rather than Of
anybody or anything else Oh earth of
the poet whose SORROWS have pressed
SO heavily upon him that he is forced
to CRY out in sounds which, being inter
pretcd, are poetry. To one who gives
this criticism consideration there
seems to be something in it-May

OUR SUCCESSFUL
REINDEER EXPERIMENT

The announcement that a shipment
of 10000 pounds Of Alaskan reindeer
meat has just been received at Sar
Francisco calls attention. says the
Trade Board issued by The National
City Bank of New York, TO the re-
markable success of our reindeer ex-
pertinent in Alaska, where the value
of the reindeer herds, established a
few years ago, is now counted by
millions of dollars.
In the early part Of our ownership
Of Alaska, says the banks statement
the natives were chiefly dependen;
upon the whale, walrus and seal Tor
their animal food, but with their rapid
destruction by the white man the
supply Of animal food, an absolute es
sential in that climate, was greatly
reduced, and the eXisstencc of the ma
tives thus threatened. This condition
was brought to the attention Of the
public in the United States in the
early nineties by Dr.. Sheldon jackson.
who had been sent to Alaska ay the
Government tc establish schools
among the natives, and he conceived
the idea of introducing the reindeer,
then unknown in Alaska, but proving
extremely useful in Siberia and Lap
land
Personal appeals by&Dr. Jackson
to the public in the United States re-
suited in contributions of So, l46, anc
lG head of reindeer from Siberia were
landed in Alaska in 1891, followed by
about $50 in later shipments during
the year. Congress then made several
small contributions, and by 1900 the
total number of reindeer. imported
into Alaska from Siberia had aggre~
gated about 1900. Importation was
then suspended AMI colony Of rein
deer masters" was brought from Lap
land to instruct Alaskans in the care
of the 1920 animals thus supplied to
them.
AS consequence of this establish
ment Of the reindeer industry IN
Alaska a quarter Gentry ago, the
number of reindeer now scattered
that territory is about 100000
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, that
their owners are now able to spare
large quantities for the white popu-
lation of Alaska and limited quantities
for shipment to the Pacific coast
cities and thence to the great trade
centers of the country, so that at GER
tain seasons of the year" reindeer
steaks" may be had in the markets
of the great cities as far east at the
Atlantic coast.
The especial value, adds the bank
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1921-09-14

statment, of this reindeer enterprise
in Alaska was found in the fact that
it turned into food form natural
growth formerly unutilAed, and al
the same time encouraged a fixed
habitation and domestication Of in
dustry on the part of a population
formerly nomadic through its depen-
dence upon the oceans frontage for
its supply of animal food. The rein
deer, which thrives upon the formerly
unutilized moses and lichens of the
Arctic "Tunda,' which he digs from
beneath the snow in the winter, serves
not only as a food supply but also a
draft and pack animal in transporting,
mails and merchandise, while his skins
furnish clothing and shelter for the
natives.
'The Alaskan reindeer herbs, the
descendants of the. 200 reindeer i'm
ported from Siberia quarter century
ago. are not only thriving upon a
formerly unutilized domestic produce,
hut supplying meat milk, butter anu
cheese to the natives of Alaska and
also the white population OF Stewards
Ice Box" as Alaska was designated
at the time of it's purchase from Rus
STA. Alaska has sent US since its
purchase nearly billion dollars worth
of precious metals and merchandise,
including gold, silver, copper, furs,
fish and meats, and taken in exchange
nearly half billion dollars worth of
the product of our Farms and factor
les. The shipments from Alaska to
the United States in the fiscal year
just ended amounted to over sixty
million dollars. her takings of cur
domestic products, nearly thirty mil
lion dollars. The total value of gold,
silver and merchandise sent from
Alaska to the United States in the
eighteen years since an official record
of this movement was established ag-
gregates 805 million dollars, making
it quite apparent that our total trace
with Alaska since its purchase for
$7,20G,000 in 1867 has aggregated
more than S1,500,000,000, of which
over S1,000,000,000 was the products
Of Alaska sent to our own parts, and
about S 500,000,000 Of merchandise
sent for use in that area.-National
