Alaskan Indians
Killing Dogs, Food
Supplies Being Short

Chicago, Jan. IA. z. MaiD-
Indians in Alaska's interior are
being forced to kill their dogs
because American canneries have
cut so sharply into their food
supply that they have nothing to
feed them, Bishop Peter T. Rowe
Episcopal bishop of Alaska, reported
here. Bishop Rowe is on his way to
Washington to present the Indians
case to the government.
A closing order against commercial
fishing on the great rivers of Alaska,
effective Sept. Of this year, was is
sued last December by the bureau Of
fisheries for the protection of the In
dams, but Bishop Rowe says the cam
neries are working to get the order
rescinded and he is making this spe-
cial trip to the states to fight a re-
versal.
practically all the Indians of the
interior, some 10000 or SO. are facing
very hard winter this year." Bishop
Rowe said. 1.-THE canneries at the
mouths of the principal rivers are u.s.

and threaten to put an end to this

1.-THE only other hope for food the
Indians have is the moose and cart
bou and sections of Alaska are bare
of them.
'"rhe situation the Alaskan In
dams face is very serious. They are
not under the Indian bureau of the
United States, are in little contact
with the government. and have few
to speak for them"

ANNUAL LIVESTOCK MARKET REPORT
Brighton. Mass. Jan. /. 1922.

Brighton, Mass. Jan. I, 1922.
The livestock market during the
year Of 1921 has been full of dis
couragement to New England ship
pers. Unlike the preceding year
when profats were good and the de-
mand active. the market has been
dull for the greater part Of the time,
and losses frequent.
The sharp decline in prices curing
the last two months Of the year of
1890 did not recover during the past
year. The market did nbt again
break as abruptly. but there has
been, with slight fiuctuation, a grad
ual falling off in prices. until at the
close Of the year of 1891, livestock
for slaughter was selling at the low
est prices since the year Of 1911,
when the range was much the same
as now. While prices have come
down with jump since the close Of
the war. the readjustment has not
been proportionate. Livestock deal
ers are still paying more to place
their stock on the market. Freight
rates continue high. and yard charges
continue high, and it costs more to
buy in the country than it did ten
years ago. The farmer is justified in
asking higher prices for his stock,
while both labor and feed ana all
that goes to the production Of live
stock continues at present prices.
There has been apparently a surplus
OF livestock in the west. and the
Boston slaughtering plants have been
able to buy at the western markets
freely, Of good stock. at low prices
In consequence their store houses
have been literally supplied through.
out the year. with dressed meats. and
wholesale prices Of dressed meats
have been much lower, although lit
tie of the decline has been reflected
: in the retail trade.
, During the year of 1921 the ex-
portation Of livestock has been re.
stunned from the port of Boston, and
although not reaching as large
amounts as was expected. there has
been about $4,000 head OF cattle and
Si3 sheep sent across the water, be-
| tween April 5th and December a.
1921. These receipts were wholly OF
western and Canadian stock, ana are
included in the total receipts Of cat
tie for the year, received at boston.
Offerings OF choice beef cattle have
been in light supply at the Brighton
yards, as not only has the dema nd
been poor. but this class Of stock
has been very scarce in the country
since the close Of the war. Fancy
steers and oxen sold at the beginning
of the year of 1921 at 9m11c per ID
These prices were followed by a grad.

The hog market fiuctuated con-
stantly, hardly holding two weeks at
the same quotations. and was for the
larger part OF the year unsatisfac.
tory to New England shippers. who
claimed that there was not enough
profit to pay for handling this line Of
stock. Receipts from New England
states showed a material decrease.
there being only about one-half the
year. which also showed 4 decrease
from recent years. Western receipts
at the packing houses have been of
good volume, and have made up the
bulk of Boston's supply. The market
was fairly strong in March, when
live hogs sold 1917 q 11lac, and dressed
hogs at 1914 g141ac. The lowest
prices paid come in the first Of De-
cember when live hogs sold at 6ls q
closing prices of the year being a

held more steady than any other line
Of livestock. Sheep selling at 4@6c

at 1o@12c high and 5@9c low. Re-
ceipts Of sheep and lambs for the
year were heavy, showing consider
able Of an increase compared with
those Of 1920. The bulk of the re-
ceipts come direct to the slaughter
houses from the west and Canada, but
during the fall there were fairly lib
eral shipments Of Vermont and
Maine stock
The mich cow trade has been quiet
but fairly steady for the greater part
of the year. The drop in prices be-
gan after the first month Of the year,
and the decline in prices was sharp,
dropping almost at once about $50 per
head in the average weekly sales,
after which the market showed no
farther decline. Through the year
average sales Of fancy graded mich
cows were made at s1009150 with
some few extra going ut SITS per

with poor and ordinary mixers at $40
