tions, lighterage businesses. There are other concerns. like Waechter Bros., also engaged in killing. freezing and marketing deer.
 Market Problem Serious
 The nativeowned herds form the bulk of the total number of animals. If they are to realize on them, the question of market must be studied carefully. This subject is being given utmost con sideration by the Lomen company which is headed by Carl Lomen since the retirement of his fatb- CT from active participation in it's affairs.
 Some success mas attended it's efforts. In the metropolitan area of New York is found the largest present avenue of sales.. Several large steamships, including the Leviathan, use deer meat regu- larly. IL is being used in several transcontinental railroad lines. This year. the Lomens plan to kill and market 15,000 animals. This is far less than the increase on their herds will be. In fact, Judge Lomen said, when fawn- ing season, that has just started is over, it is expected the. herds will be increased by 10000
 The canning plant, installed last Spring, will be operated to capa- city. Expansion in the manufac- ture of by-products will be under taken, all of which will lessen the overhead and add to the eventual prosperity of the industry. Hides have increased in value from $1 to $225 and q market for all hides has been found. Last winter in New York reindeer flyers, which were formerly given away at the slaughter pens owing to a lack of market, were sold in New York at so cents per pound.
 Builds For Future
 Building for the future, the Lo- men company has been content to put it's finances into the busi- ness. In all the 15 years of it's work it has never declared a divi- dend, but it's position is regarded as much stronger now than ever before. It is attempting to build up the size of it's animals and the quality of the meat. On Nunivak Island it is conducting a cross breeding experiment with caribou, using large woodland bulls. Al ready there has been a noticeable increase in the strain produced, Judge Lomen said.
 Spends Winter East
 After spending the winter in New York and Washington, being called to the latter city on off cial business by the Department of Justice, Judge Lomen was visit ing in St. Paul when he was in structed by the Department to pro ceed to Juneau to assist the late J

ALASKAN DEER HERDS GROWING
 AT RAPID RATE
Judge C. J. Lomen Cites Figures Showing Progress
 Tn Reindeer Growing

Alaska now has 675,00O head of reindeer. according to the best estimates The herds double in size every three years. How long will it take for the animals to number 4.00O,O00, which is con sidered the maximum quantity that can be grazed in the Terri tory?
 That is the problem propound- ed by Judge G. J. Lomen, now sitting on the bench in the U. $. District Court here. For 15 of his 2S years residence ill Alaska, he has been actively engaged, until he went on the bench in the Sec ond Division, in reindeer breeding and grazing.
 Saturation Point Near
 We have got to the point where we can say that not many more years will elapse before We have all the animals that our for age resources will take care of When the 4,000,000 mark is reach ed, it will be necessary for us to kill off 1,000,000 annually in or der to keep them within the limit of forage safety" he said.
 Fifteen years ago, when Judge Lomen and his sons became inter ested in the reindeer industry, the hards were small. mainly owned by Eskimo or other natives. They were chiefly used for food and the owners were not largely concerned with questions of mar keting.
 Today the herds have increased The Lomen Reindeer Corporation, of which Judge Lo- men was first president, owns 130,000 head. It's own slaughter houses. cold storages, a canning plant, one steamer that plies be- tween Seattle and Nome, and smaller craft, large trading sta

PETERSBURG IN GOOD SHAPE, BANKER SAYS;
 STORAGE MAKES GOOD

Business conditions in Peters burg are better now than a year ago. fishermen are doing fairly we'll despite the low market prices prevailing, the new cold storage is making money, and bank deposits in the town have increased 15 per cent, according to T. s. Elsemore, President of the Bank of Peters burg. He arrived last night on the Admiral Rogers on business trip and will remain here until Friday.
 Last year was the first that the cold storage operated. It earned good profit, paying interest on it's bonded debt and a dividend to the holders of stock. Already this season it has earned sufficient to justify calling in portion of it's bonds. Some of the bonds will be redeemed, holders being paid a four per cent premium, MT Elsemore said. Although halibut prices are much lower than last year, the Petersburg fleet is mak- ing money. One boat, operated by four men, has earned $900 per man since the season opened. The boats gross for the season was in excess of $6,000.
 The Petersburg Packing Com pany is preparing for a normal pack, Mr Elsemore said It ex- poets to put up 100000 cases.
 MT. Elsemore was gratified with

Judge T. M. Reed in clearing up the local calendar. He was en- route to Seattle when he received word of Judge Reeds death.
 He communicated with the De- partment again and was directed to proceed here and continue the present court term. He said he did not know how long he would be kept here by the Department. He has a term of Court called for Nome shortly after the open ing of navigation.
 This was the first trip Judge Lomen had made to the States since he was appointed in the Second Division six years ago. In New York he visited with his son Carl, who is looking after the Lomen business interests there. In Seattle he spent few days with another son, Ralph, who was a member of the Alaska Legislature in 1927, and is now manager of the Seattle office of the Lomen company. A third son. Alfred, field man for the company in Seward Peninsula, was high candidate in the April primary election for nomination for Representative, and it is gen. erally conceded he will be el- ected next Fall. He has two other sons who are actively con- nected with the reindeer busi- ness
