Reindeer are caribou, domesticated
through many centuries. The average
weight of a full-grown animal is $50
pounds, but by crossing with the larg-

of all domestic animals. The roundup
is simplified by the fact that the mos
uuitoes in summer drive the deer to
the sea coast, where they are protect
ed by ocean breezes Herding is made
easy by their attachment to their graz

Reindeer were introduced to Alaska in
1891. In that year sixteen were brought
from Siberia at the instigation of DR..
Sheldon Jackson. When Doctor Jack
son was sent to Alaska by the gov
eminent to establish schools among the
natives he found his wards threat
ened with starvation as result of the
slaughter by white men of the game
animals on which the natives had de-
pended for food He conceived the idea
Of replacing the fast disappearing
game with reindeer. the principal do
nestle animal of Lapland and Siberia,
the climate and vegetation of which
resembled that of Alaska.
Returning to the states and unable
to interest congress in the venture,
Doctor Jackson sought contributions
from the public He obtained s214S
with which the first animals were pro-
berian herdsmen were brought over to
care for them.
In 1892 $50 more reindeer were i'm

interested and small appropriations
made POSSIBLE importatons through the
next ten years until, in 1902, when the
Russian government put an embargo
on further expectations from Siberia,
1880 animals had been taken into
Alaska.
The Siberian herdsmen proved in
competent as teachers for the Eski-
mos, and fer a time the venture was
threatened with failure 1t was then
that Doctor Jackson went for advice
to Prof Rasmus b. Anderson of Mad

lent 100 animals from the government

of which an equal number of reindeer

Professor Tells Why
Red Grange Was Great

Here is a story, trifle late, but
perhaps, nevertheless a worthy ad-
dition to Americana. coming from IL
linoiS.
A professor in psychology, at Illi-
nois, spent two weeks studying Har-
old (Red) Grange, a man who for
merly played on the Illinois team.
After this exhaustive observation of
two weeks, the professor made a
statement to this effect:
Grange differs from the ordinary
football player il that he senses
where an opening will be. Most
players get the ball and run toward
hole in the line. By the time the
players reach the openings they find
them closed and they are smothered
under pack of tacklers. Grange
would sometimes run toward a mass
Of players, knowing instinctively that
there would bc break. He had q
sixth football sense that every coach
prays for and seldom gets"
And now you know why Grange
was a great back.

of support for themselves and an OPP
portunity to acquire wealth. They have
bank accounts, purchase American
clothing and food, have adopted i'm
proved methods of sanitation and in
some instances, have built frame
houses from imported lumber
Between 1918 and 1925 more than
l,875,000 pounds of reindeer meat was
shipped to the United States from Alas
ka. Two hundred Thousand pounds
was shipped in 1928, while by 1925, the
export had increased to $50. coo pounds.
The export for 1927 was expected al
most to double that of 1925. the amount
depending on shipping facilities. Rein
deer meat sells in Nome for Is to 20
cents a pound. 1t can be delivered at
Seattle for Is cents a pound, and. with
increased shipments and improved
methods of handling, even this price
can be reduced.
While the only reindeer on this con-
tinent now are in Alaska, and the ter
ritory's production is restricted by
pasturage 20 four million head, there
are millions Of acres in Canada where
