 Take-Off of Plane From Tditarod

after being away about an hour, re- turned here, bringing what was con- sidered most reassuring news. He was unable to land at Ophir, but in his circling around that place he had seen one figure, wearing goggles and attired like an aviator, whom he felt sure was Nieminen, while another in- dividual not many feet distant re- sembled Lottsfeldt. Cheerful news; everybody pleased. Dorbandt soon off again to Ophir. Returns not many minutes afterward with news that he was mistaken; that the man with goggles and aviation suit" was none other than Pete Carlson, and that nothing of the missing men was known at that place. Disappointment on all sides. Dorbandt and Young again take off to do more scouting, and return later in afternoon. No re- suits. Hopes lowered.
 Saturday came weather and people still gloomy. Dorbandt, accompanied by Ulch, goes beyond Ophir to Bea- yer hills, while Young, accompanied by Milton Rice, covers the winter mail trail from Ophir to Iditarod. No results. Hopes fading, dejection on all sides.
 Sunday somewhat colder; fairly clear day and everybody anxious. Dorbandt leaves Takotna about 10, Young leaving Iditarod at abod, the some time.
 Just at the time when affairs looked the bluest, when all were be- coming low-spirited, the Dorbandt plane was heard and seen coming over the peak toward town, afterward learned to be travelling at a speed of about 160 miles an hour. A quick landing. As the plane landed, Carl Lcttsfeldt was seen pushing his way out of the door, seemingly % ,.dn't

Matt Nieminen, pilot of the Alaska Airways, and his two passengers, Carl Lottsfeldt of Takotna and Fred Lusher of Flat, had an experience bordering on the thrilling on Thurs day last, the likes of which it is most certain not one of them will care to go through again. Takotnans also went through three days of intense anxiety.
 First, it may be stated that Pilot Ed Young, flying from Fairbanks with an Alaska Airways plane, and Pilot Frank Dorbandt, from McGrath, with his Pacific International plane, had that day made their way through to Flat, although Pilot Young was unable to land, and both f1iers re- turned to this place about noon.
 Word received here from Flat a little after noon stated that Matt Nie- minen had left that place with his two passengers at 11:30. It was also revealed that, due to foggy condi- ,tions, he would follow the Iditarod- Ophir mail trail.
 Under ordinary or any way favor able conditions Nieminen should have landed at Takotna before 1 o'clock. The hours of the afternoon passed, night came, and to Takotnans his whereabouts was mystery. Word from Iditarod stated that he had not returned to that place. Apprehension was manifest, although general hopes prevailed that the party had met with some slight mishap and would land here on the morrow.
 Friday came. Dark and foggy; another poor day for flying. Leav- ing his three passengers at McGrath, Pilot Dorbandt came up early to join Ed Young in search, the latter, ac- companied by Charlie Ulch, scouting over area between here and Flat. Then came a ray of hope. Dorbandt,

 Reindeer?
DEPARTMENT STUDY. ING PROBLEMS CONCERN
 ING ALASKA'S HERD.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Secre- tary of Interior Wilbur today ap- pointed q committee to advise him with relation to boundaries, carrying capacities and range rules, and dis puted ownership and other problems which have arisen from the rapidly increasing reindeer herds of Alaska. The members of that committee are: Senate John B. Kendrick of Wyom- ing, Representative Scott Leavitt of Montana, and Assistant Attorney General Charles P. Sisson of the De- partment of Justice.
 The purpose of the present exam ination into the reinC eer situation in Alaska is to make it possible that the reindeer industry should be placed on logical and sound foundation. 1t will be recalled that the Government in 1891 introduced from Asia 10 reindeer, which, to that time, were not known on the American side of bSIlHS oII GAL. 4uc LOCeal ltilpoi ldblon from Siberia amounted to1,280 by 1901. They have been distributed among the natives up and down the west coast of Alaska to localities as far north as Point Barrow. The na- tives, mostly Eskimo, proved tllem- selves capable of developing herds, and the result is that there probably are at the present time 100000 reindeer in this area. They have brought food and fur clothing in plenty to the people of these far northern areas.
 Most of these reindeer are in the narrow belt lying along the exten- sive coast of Alaska. The reason for this is that. the natives, before the deer came, subsisted chiefly by fish ing and because of this lived along the coasts. So great have grown the numbers of these reindeer, however, that some of the mosteavailable lands have been stocked to their capacity, and range problems have developed. Reindeer raising, likewise, has be- come business comparable to cattle raising in the early West, and is de- manding organization on a.sanew basis.
 Ernest Walker Sawyer, represent ing the Department of the Interior, last summer went to Alaska, cover ing the reindeer area by airplane and visiting many of the villages that formed headquarters for this new livestock industry. The grass and moss upon which the animals subsist is abundant in great areas of the in terior and deer are being moved there. Already some of the Eskimos have abandoned their homes on the Arctic coast, migrating to iaterior points, and taking up perman,..t res idence, and more are to follow. The development of the reindeer industry in interior Alaska depends largely upon accelerating this movement and upon developing the possibilities of utilizing these ranges. Their use, it is held, may turn out of benefit to individuals from the States possess ing the pioneer spirit of earlier days.
 Reindeer breed so rapidly and de- pendably that it is estimated that a herd of 100000 may provide 30O,OO0 individuals a year for slaughter and still maintain it's number. MT. Saw yer believes that Alaska is now ready to yield that number of reindeer car- casses every year.
 Some tens of thousands of reindeer carcasses are now being shipped to

WOUNDED BEAST
IS CHASED BY PAIR
HuntSmen Lose Trail of AMI
NAL Resembling Panther in
Woods Near ForestviIIe.

The Capital last night was without a
report of the panther" in its midst.
although police and huntSmen were still
on the alert for the alarm that would
send them into the fields of Northeast
washington and nearby MARYLAND with
guns and dogs.
A wounded beast, reported to resemble
panther, was chased for more than a
mile over the fields and through the
WOODS OF Prince Georges County yes
teroay morning by z. L. Fowler and a
hunting companion, but the trail was
lost when the animal is reported to
have doubled on its tracks in the woods
back of Forrestville, Md.
Fowler reported sighting the beast
near the farm of G. L. Fowler. between
Forrestville and Richie Station. He
and his companion, he told Capt.
Charles T. Peck of the eleventh pre-
cinct, followed tracks as big as a mans
first, marked with occasional blood
stains. The tracks, Fowler told Capt.
Peck, were made by some large cat ami
NAL. Fowler said that he took the trail
when he noticed the beast, several hun
dred yards away from him back of
Fowlers farm. in neighborhood previ-
ously marked by depredations.
From Leonardtown, Md, so miles
away, today came the report that a
marauding wild beast, believed to be the
phantom panther. the night before last
killed pet Persian kitten belonging to
Lionel Mccormick of Bushwood, Md.
Mccormick reported that he heard a
noise outside his store Friday night and
ran to the door to see fleeing tan-col-
ored beast. The lifeless form of the
kitten was lying in the roadway.
Mccormick, with Edwin Plowden. IT..
took the trail of the beast and followed
it to Church Swamp, mile away.
There the trail was lost.

of the animal.
Last Wednesday another pig was

IN the pigpen of Policeman Ed Scott,

and ammunition belts filled in readiness
for any emergency, however.
Sues County for Hogs.
Only one cloud has fallen across what
otherwise was developing into a quite
promising panther perspective.
Harry Fowler, whose hogs were raid
ed some time back, and who had been
one of the outstanding advocates of the
panther theory, caused widespread cha
grin among members of the puma posse
as the week came to a close by filing
a claim for $50 damages with county
authorities
In so doing Fowler put himself on
record as believing his hogs were killed
by nothing more junglelike than q
stray dog. That's his final story, and
he is going to stick to it, and the best
part of this theory is that the county
pays for hogs killed by dogs running al
large.
