MEAT

Will a large part Of the meat supply of our descendants
come from Alaska and northern Canada-meat of the reindeer
and caribou? Stefansson, the arctic explorer, thinks so.
Our government is getting around to = similar ldea. III
predicts, in a bulletin, that reindeer meat will soon have
a large sale and be available in many parts of America. 3
In Alaska alone, there are more than 100 herds OF rem,
deer, running wild, varying in size from 400 to soo0 mead
a herd. Plenty Of free grazing land for them up there, Stu
more m Canadas Yukon and the northwest territories stretcn-
ing eastward to Hudson bay. =
Reindeer and carbon ranching is springing mp as q Il brhv
industry, growing swiftly. 20
The first reindeer were imported into Alaska about Gov
years ago by the ~farsighted Rev. DR.. Sheldon jackson. lie
took him 20 years to import 1880 head. From these sprang
the great herds of today.
Wilfred Grenfell, the author and medical missionary, ]
introducing reindeer into Labrador. She writes us that .
reindeer weighs more than two sheep, and That $ooOoOV
worth of reindeer meat will reach Chicago this year from
Nome, Alaska.
Sometime ago the chief of the U. S. Biological Survey told
a Congressional committee that in 20 years Alaska will b
exporting 100000 reindeer carcasses a year.
The purpose of building up this industry, OF course, 20
provide cheaper meat. But transportation is a big Obstacle.
For instance, the reindeer that will be delivered In Chicago
for 5000 600 this year will sell for $4,000 when they leay
Nome. The difference, 100000 is transportation cost.
Another handicap is that reindeer meat has a gam
flavor, like venison, which few people like. At least, it's q
cultivated taste.
We cannot dodge the high cost of food by raising tt at the
far corners of the earth where land and labor are cheap.
Reindeer and caribou meat may be cheaper than beef, pork
or lamb now, but as soon as the demand is created up VIII
90 the price. Profteers will see to that. Like leeches, they
will follow the meat industry north, the same as they now
follow the gold rushes to exact extortionate tribute.
The day is coming, however, with our rapidly lncreasE
population, when America will need the reindeer and carlbo.
of the far north as well as all the meat ANIMALS we can raise
at home. Therefore, the reindeer and caribou will not enter
into genuine competition with our domestic hogs, steers and
sheep. ALL will have a full market
We're developing a complicated civilization when we have
to 90 toward the north pole for enough to eat.

O. How fast does a parachute
drop, supporting a mani w; y.
A. The resistance that a falling
parachute offers to the air is greatly
Influenced by its shape. The modern
one man parachute. made OF SILK,
varies from Is to 80 feet IN lame
ter. Is slightly concave on the lower
side and offers sufficient resistance
to the air, SO that when carrying q
man. the>rate of descent will not be
more than Is to 20 feet per second.
Q. What is meant by 16 to r.
A. A gold dollar contains 1922
grains of gold. A silver dollar con-
tains 371.25 grains of silver. The
ratio refers to weight, as the silver
dollar is approximately 16 times rs
heavy as the gold dollar and the ra-
ito of 16 to l means that our a l
uation of monetary metal provide
that a unit of gold be worth as
much as 16 units of silver.

fifty years ago. There was a section
enumerating what articles should lie

iment. The enrolling clerk in copy
ing the bill accidently changed the
! hypen to a comma. making it read
"alI foreign fruits, plants. ETC." In
consequence for a year until Con-
| gress could remedy the mistake, all
oranges, lemons, bananas, grapes
and other foreign fruits were ad-
mitted free of duty. The misplace

CITY PLAN AN s

New Brunswick is in the midst of a campaign for the election
OF city commissioners. One of the issues is city planning and
coming. Mayor Morrison, who is a candidate for reelection, has
declared in favor of such an ordinance. The other candidates for
re election nave net declared themselves, but say they have an
open mind OF the subject. There are new candidates in the field,
however, who are openly in favor of the city plan idea.
The election in New Brunswick will be watched with inter-
est. The candidates who have come out in favor of city planning
and coming declare that the most progressive communities either
have or are going to have a city plan, and it is recognized that
coming is the only way business and residential sections can be
protected.
Most commission government cities have adopted city plan
ming and coming because the commissioners, being elected from
the city at large and being, in most instances, a non-partsan board
50 that they always have the interest Of the taxpayers at heart
wiihour regard to what effect their actions may have on any poiti-
cal ralty, roO ie that having a definite plan for the city develop
ment is the only way satisfactory progress can be made.
Perth Amboy, struggling along under its aniquated charter
and with its cumbersome, irresponsible government, is likely to
find itself utterly lost in the race if it does not bestir itself and
do something to relieve the present situation here. We have a city
plan commission, it is true, but it is seriously handicapped for lack
Of funds to work with. 1t has done a wonderful work with the
money that has been appropriated for its use. The preliminary
report submitted to the Board Of Aldermen at the close Of last
year together with the special report on Fayette street show
what can be done in the way of properly developing a city.
1t is safe to say that if the voters of New Brunswick elect
the men pledged to city planning when the new commissioners
idea in earnest and the city will profit enormously.

OUR EQUINE POPULATION
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j.. Haskir

and horses have developed the fact
the short haul in cities frequently is
more economically made by horse
drawn vehicles.
Where the Horse is Superior
Take a milk wagon, for instance.
1t must stop several times in every
city block. The constant gear-shift-
ing and use of brakes in a motor
vehicle would multiply the wear and
greatly increase both the fuel cost
and the depreciation. Also, the auto
mobile engine lacks that fine intelli-
gence which the horse possesses. The
horse on a milk wagon route knows
his masters customers as we'll as the
master and, without direction, will
move from house to house stopping
M starting at the proper times and
places. Thus the time which the
slower pace of the horse loses, is
made up by his intelligence in start
ing and stopping on his own initia-
tive. h same is true in many other
varieties of delivery. The horse re-
spends to the voice. but not the
motor.
The largest trucking concern in
New York City employs $500 horses
and 1900 horse drawn vehicles. It
employs 500 motor trucks.

 Tho decision of the Mayfiower As sociates, Inc, which owns the fish erman, to have her converted into an auxiliary vessel, became known to. day, when the schooner was lowed here under bare poles to have 10o- horsepower engine installed and to have h'cr lofty masts and slender spars cut down ito take a reduced sail area.
 Under her new conditions the May. flower, her owners expect. will stock enough fish and be able to run to market and back in all weather fast enough to make her high sailor ci the Bost3n-Gloucestc fleet.

JUNEAU FANS WANT POLLOCK
 MANILA OVER
Collier and Manila Likely to Meet in Capital City
 Early in April.

 N. R.

Joe Collier on April 10. Mr Walker put N'le prope 'tion up to Harry MOrrell, Manila's manager, who said the Eli pino would be glad to meet Collier. and stated to Walker the terms un- Ter which he will sign. The terms, while not made public as yet. were, according to Mir. Walker. such as Juneau promoters. Therefore, 3t Manila weashers tho gale of the 16th, he will no doubt have an opportunity to make a bow to a Juneau audience.
 Solder Woods also received wire from the same source. asking for his measurements. weight. e.c and in quiring if he would come to Juneau for tho same date, providing a suit able opponent can lbe signed up It would be supcrflous to quote tho Sol dieT's reply, for the place where he will not go when the hand of adven- ture beckons. is yet to he found Therefore, should the llrster of the Filipino be dimmed to any appreei- able extent on the 16th, MT Collier can be accommodated by a man who always argues in the affirmative.
 It is practically settled that the third man in tho ring when Manila and Wood meet in the second frame of their fourhanded argument will be Joe Hill, who is we'll known to all the fans as a boxer with string of arguments packed away in the old kit bag, and also man with consid- erabe experience as referee. He had tendcred his services as sparring partner fer the Soldier, but discon- tfnued .hem when it became apparent that he would be chosen as arbiter.
