I have not essayed thus far to dis

It is my belief that they should be
included in the grant. I regard 1t as
fundamentally unsound in this Repub-

the equality footing doctrine, to allow
some of the States to enjoy revenue
from all of their lands as well as every
type and class of minerals, and deny
that right to other States. It seems
to me that such course violates the

HERD OF ALASKAN REINDEER TO BE DRIVEN TO CANADA

A herd of 5000 reindeer to be used as food supply for the local population will be driven from Alaska to the eastern delta of the Mackenzie River in the Ca nadian Northwest Territories commencing in October, the de- partment of Commerce has been advised by the Assistant Trade Commissioner at Ottawa, A. H. Thiemann.
 The decision to transfer this Iherd of reindeer was based on the report of R. T. Porsild and A.
 E. Porsild, who have spent sev- aral years in the Arctic studying reindeer grazing grounds. While it is planned to establish rein deer raising in this territory as Ia meat supply for the inhabit- ants, commercial possibilities have not been ignored. At the
 present time, however, the long
 haul and the high cost of trans portation of the meat to large
 consuming centers is a draw
