REINDEER AND NEW
 FISHING VENTURES ARE
 NUCLEUS SETTLEMENT

The Pioneer Reindeer Company expects to arrive in the Alaska Peninsula area this spring from the Kuskokwim with a large herd of reindeer, The Gateway is in formed by a correspondent at Snug Harbor, at which point the com pany will make it's headquarters.
 The company has between 45,OOO and 50,000 reindeer and it is the intention to concentrate the herd at a point near tide-Water and build cold storage plant, corraL, warehouses and wharf, large enough for a steamer to tie up at.
 This venture, together with the adjacent fishing banks off Shumi- gan Islands, considered the best on the Pacific Coast, is anticipated as being the nucleus of increased settlement.
 The deep water banks, running from 35 to 400 fathoms in the Shu- Migan Island area, have not been fished extensively excepting by few Seattle halibut boats during the middle of the summer. It is said some of these boats take only the halibut, throwing overheard possibly hundreds of tons of other kinds of fish, such as cod, rock cod, ling cod, red snappers, black cod and millions of Atka mackerel.
 A cold storage plant in Balboa Bay, the correspondent adds, would enable fishermen on the Boring Sea side of the Alaska Peninsula to dispose of their silver salmon and herring because owing to closing Of navigation and to the ice condi- tions, fishing could continue and the catch freighted over the port age, by tractors, to the proposed cold storage plant.

 The four persons and child being held at Crossville were quickly eliminated when the Lindbreghs viewed an Associated Press photo of the Crossville infant which was sent to Hopewen. The Lindoerghs said that it was not their child but the Tennessee authorities are hold ing the personk for further in vestigation.
 A telephone message was al legged to have been received rom the kidnappers stating the baoy was safe and happy and was in the care of a family.
 Newspapermen have been barred from the Lindbergh estate, so an airplane was dispatched to circle the home. It was reported much activity was apparent about the residence with many people and cars coming and going.
 Authorities now believe the kid nappers are amateurs for none ot the finger prints taken in the childs bedroom compare with those on file in the records.
