DRIVING REINDEER
IN ARCTIC WASTES
Hardy Band Directs Herd
Over Unknown Tracks to
Save ESkimoS.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 29.-In a sky
scraper Office where Broadway and Park
Row merge, a lawyer was putting dots
Yesterday on a crazy looking map which
represented the last stages Of far
northern adventure involving 5000 REIN
deer and a handful Of hardy handlers.
The lawyer hopes to keep track OF
the reindeer until, sometime next year,
they can be delivered across the top
of the world ''in good condition" to
the Canadian government at the delta
Of the Mackenzie River.
Leonard Baldwin, advisor-in- general
to the Lomen Corporation Of Alaska
owners of the antlered herd and some
200 900 more like them. knows ms rem rem
deer well, but the trail they are making
through the Endicott Mountains and
along the Arctic Ocean no man ever
has treked before.
VIII Help Starving EskimOs.
Baldwin characterized the attempt as
"a great adventure and a greater
gamble" The stake is $4,000 which
Canada has contracted to pay upon de-
livery.
Slow as the journey is--it started
from the Lomen reservation IN western
Alaska in November, 1929--it is IN
purpose a race TO save Canadian Eskl-
mos from starvation, Canada VIII use
the herd TO props gate a food supply
which will replace the schools OF whales
depleted by years Of hunting.
1.-THE route covers 1000 miles OF al
most unimaginahay wild country through
mountains that only flyers have traV-
ersed before" Mr.. Baldwin said. Ana
as the herd moves only in Winter over
the frozen Arctic, speed is out OF the
question.
Thus far. the drive has weathered
several terrible billiards without being
deeimated. In fact, because the nerd
does not move in fawning time, nlrthS
have far exceeded deaths.
Only Short Distance Left.
THE herd is now far down the region
OF the Colville River valley or beyond,
on the southern coast of the Arctlc
Ocean. It is getting ready to press
onward again with but few hundred
miles to GO"
The leader Of the drive is Andrew
Bahr, Of Seattle.
"Bahr, who had retired in Seattle
with fortune made in Alaska, is prob
ably the only man in the North country
who can get the herd through" BALDWIN
said. His companions are adventurous
Laplanders and Eskimos"
There is no line Of communication OF
any kind in the whole region save al
settlements on the Arctic shore, he salo

FINANCING SCORED
, IN MARKETING ACT
Head of Commission Mer-
chants Calls Law Glazing
Class Legislation.

Characterizing the finance provisions
of the agricultural marketing act as
obviously unjust" Robert F. Blair,
Cleveland, president OF the National
League of Commission Merchants,
stated in letter received by Washing
ton members of the organization yes
terday that the act "is as glaring a
case of class legislation as is to be
found in this country's history"
He intimated that his organization
expects the next Congress to amend the
finance provisions of the act. The
league is an organization of distributors
in the fresh fruit and vegetable indus
try, taking in all the territory east OF
the Mississippi River.
Conclusions OF League.
Mr.. Blair states that the Commission
Merchants League has reached the
following conclusions:
THAT farmers and growers need help
and have needed ii for years.
THAT cooperative marketing was a
permanent development before the
Farm Board was established, and that
it will continue if and when the Farm
Board is abolished.
THAT the receivers and distributors
of fresh fruits and vegetables, as an
organization. ought not to appear IN
opposition to any movement which
substantial number of their clients or
customers believe to be in their pest
interest, unless the receivers and dis
tributors have something better to OF
fer-better for the producers ana
growers.
THAT the financial features OF the
agricultural marketing act are so obVl-
ously unjust that they cannot success
fully be defended even by the pro-
ponents of the co-operatives which
have proflted from them.
Sterilization Agencies Hit.
"That the so-caLed sterilization
agencies provided for in the law are so
I closely connected in management and
finance with the Federal Farm Board
that they are. in fact, Government
agencies.
'"That the lending of public money
TO one group Of citizens while denying
the same service to other groups In
competition with the favored group Is
as glaring a case of class legislation as
is to be found in this cCuntry's history.
Distributors are not IN oppoSltion 10

Bow Refuses Carroll

Clara Bow will not be the shin

sincere enough in his efforts to
land the Flatbush flapper. He
sent Ralph Farnum as his agent
on flying trip to the Coast, only
to find that Clara'S salary terms
we're up in the clouds.
What Clara asked for was
$40, 900 a week. What she ex-
pected to get was nearer $4,000.
What Carroll really wanted to pay
was not over $4,000. So she
didn't take the job.
