The Racket Works It's Way Into
High Society-and Maybe New
York's 400" VIII Have a Very
Engaging Scandal Soon.

NEW YORK. March 22-There IS
much perspiring about the brow in
a circle Of very high toned New
Workers, and one society damsel in
particular, who have been engaging
in a social racket" OF the most du-
bious nature.
For. so it seems, one OF the most
powerful Of the local society writer's

ket is not summarily hit over the

Briefly, the situation is this. and

was so very-very exclusive and had

But-it so happened that a very
smart and shrewd matron, who
k1lGH 1lCI 1NCH 4OAhs saw q NAA1A4N<
for a nice little, well-paying racket.
She knew that there were scores
and scores Of climbers with money
who would pay anything TO
mingle with the who's-who. And a
few of these were allowed to come
to the very-very exclusive dances
from time to time.
Then the climbers began to re-
ceive a very amusing letter; the
sort OF letter that could only come
from typical New York snobbish
climberism. The letter told the
poor OATS that this young woman
who really belonged to the inner
circles, would help them to find
their particular social niche. If
they would but follow her counsel.
she'd see that they got along; they
would be taken into the inner circle
at the parties and given their big
chance.
And scores Of them kicked in
with plenty.
Thus it has gone on for some
time. There has been any amount
of whispering behind hands over
the inner circle" teacups. The
dowagers have grown indignant and
have actually written letters TO the

Canadian Government the price was $85 per head for one lot of 1000 deer. And when Carsten Pack ing Company (the Lomen selling agents in Seat tle) sells, it charges by the carcass 18 cents per pound; short saddles, .25 cents; long saddles PA cents; fawn carcass without hide, .29 cents; liv- ers 30 cents; Lomen roasts .35 cents; faWn legs, .35 cents. x.
 How They Are Financed
 In their finances is compelled to admire them. Just what the relations of the different companies is not clear, but of course will be easily explained loy the right people).
 There is the Lomen Reindeer Corporation, Delaware corporation, Ralph Lomen, vice-presi- dent
 The Lomen Reindeer Company, an Alaskan corporation, Carl J. Lomen, President Ralph Lo- men, vice president; Alfred J. Lomen field man. ager; capital $49000OO.
 The Arctic Packing Company, an Alaska cor poration, L. D. Suleleen, president Ralph Lomen, vice president
 The Interstate Sales and Publicity Company a Washington corporation who bought 100000 shares of the Lomen Reindeer Company stock
 The Arctic Transport Company, Ralph Lomen, president subsidized by the Alaska Legislature through the votes of the Nome statesmen, often times said statesmen are mere employees of the Lomen interests who are allowed vacation that corresponds with the term of the Legislature
 This year, quite lucky, Alfred L0men is slated for the Territorial Senate that is if the 100 per centers of Nome do the expected It is expected that Slim will be returned to help out in the House.
 The fine thing about the Democracy practic- ed in Alaska is that less than 400 voters of the Nome Division have the selection of the two sen- atcrs and four representatives, smaller number of voters than is contained in one precinct of Ju- Ketchikan.
 Their Grazing i.,.ls
 This group of patriots claim to control some EIGHT MILLION ACRES of grazing land And they claim to 25O0 900 head of reindeer or for that matter, if they claimed 100000 who would deny them?
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-06-15
WHERE DID THEY GET THEIR MILLIONS OF
 ACRES OF LANDS?

We have no doubt that, following the usual practice where large interests are concerned that the charges made by the Eskimos against the Lo- mems of Nome that the Lomens Will be exonerat- ed; the Eskimos will be told that they should know better than to make charges against million doars and that the publicity artists will continue to figure how well off these "ungrateful' Eski mos are anyhow.
 We have admired the versatility of these Lo mens The old man is on the bench and the 100 per cent Americans of Boston Tea Party lineage who live in Nome make wonderful echo even to the unspoken wishes of that fine gentleman (There being no mountains about Nome some thing must act as an echo).
 When Ralph Lomen was member of the Lower for the ''Lomen subsidy,' and he answered, "Of course On the face of the law, it is not for the Lomens altho I suppose they will get it." How different even from the despised Senator Grundy who refused to vote on the wool schedule because he owned wool factory.
 Then the Lomens became impatient With the sowness with which their flock of reindeer were increasing, and behold Lomen legislator got and passed law that gave presumptive ownership of little reindeer to whoever first branded it.
 Then somebody wanted to buy reindeer from the Eskimos and the question of price came up. That was easily settled by showing that the Lo- mems sell their deer to the Arctic Packing Com- pany for only $3 per head and that is the price the paternal government says that the deer are worth. Nobody seems to care that the Arctic Packing Company is another form of Lomen So what difference does it make if Lomen only pays
