Importing Reindeer Meat.

(Nationa Business Revewl
 Alaska, the greatest possession of the United States, is as unknown to the average citizen q: French Madagascar.
 To brine home the true facts about Alaska and to make United States ctizenry aware of t5 potentialities. Carl J. Lomen. President o the Lomon Reindeer Corporation, whose New York offices are at 26 Cortlandt Street, has brought to the United States, Kirogluk, an Alaskan Es kimo reindeer man, representative of his people in the hope that Krogluk, or Teddy" as he is famiarly known will be able to stimulate 2 keen interest in the Eskimo people Of Alaska
 KirogluiI. whose home is in the ice bound re- gons north of the Arctic Circle, in town callea Kiana on the Kobuk River, is local trusted employee of the Lomen Reindeer Corporation and he possesses something of the western man spirit for travel and adventure. Just now he Is in New York City whose greatness seems to have impressed him as much he has impressed New Workers.
 When the Federal Government introduced the reindeer their motive was to better the con dition of their wards, the Alaska Eskimos whose food supply thought to be in danger because American ships were destroying So many whales and walrus an important part of the native diet The success of the experiment has made avall- able for the EslEimos not only an abundance ol the most wholesome and palatable food but also "a large surplus of meat to sell and plenty oi skins for the warmest and best winer clothing
 The Alaskan Eskimos just now changing from hunters to reindeer ranchers who nave nc need for charity but who do need the develop ment of an outside market for the surplus ei their herds.
 The growth of the reindeer industry has sur passed every prophecy and dream of the founders The 12SO head imported from Siberia during fbe decade 1S92-1902 have grown to 675,000 in addition to 250,0O0 used for food and clothing
 Reindeer meat is finer in a texture than peel and more tender. It has not the sharp taste oi yenison or other game meats. It's flavor, though distinctly it's own, may be described as between that of lamb and the breast of mallard duck
 The reindeer is a grazing animal most par ticuar in the selection of it's food, and reer rom disease than cattle sheep. Alaska has enough grazing land to permanently support about foui million head, of which one million can De mar keted each year. Reindeer will not be eompetl- tor with the old standard meats, but rather sup pemental.
 The American people may well be proud oi the reindeer industry It is Alaskas most org inal contribution to the economy of the worid and is likely to remain one of her greatest
 The Lomen Reindeer Corporation has been a poneer in introducing this savory meat and mas achieved universal recognition for the excellent ouality of it's products. It is principally due to the efforts of this firm that all hotels ana res taurants are serving reindeer meat
