in whose charge the reindeer
were placed for distribution to
the natives.
Certain Laplanders had also
received loans of reindeer for
their services as instructors in
herding. Why this was done is
not known, as the first Lap
landers did not ask this.
In 1914 a corporation began
% buy reindeer. They bought
1900 deer from the Laplander
Nilima, who received a loan of
80 deer in 1901, and from this
built up the herd he sold In
this year the corporation began
10 negotiate with the mission
having the herd loaned to them
at Teller which was the first
rei1>;zer station and distribute
ing point, end which was a key
point CT Port Clarence, one of
the few harhors on that coast.
The manager of the mission told
the president of the Company,
q. J. Lomen, that he had no
right to sell the reindeer fe-
males, that it was against the
laws and regulations and also
against the contract the mission
had signed with the Govern
rlent.
In 1915 the Corporation sue
ceeded in purchasing the herds
of the missions at Golovin and
at Unalakleet, both held for dis
tribution to the natives. In the
Colovin herd at that time there
were 1913 reindeer of which
1855 were still in the name of
the mission and 1858 had been
distributed to the natives. The
corporation assumed control OF
the whole herd, taking charge
of the whole, although warned
in writing by the superintend-

shown which is a notable con-
dition. In 1921 the agent of the
Corporation in charge at Teller
issued a letter to the natives
saying that they, the natives,
should put their deer in the Cor
poration herds, that other herds
we're not properly taken care of.
The natives say that the: "Lo-
mems come and ask permission
to put our herds together say
ing that we Eskimos will not be
able to look after our herds
properly, and also saying that
if we do not that one of the
herders of the California herd
Will be punished for it"

control of the whole herd and
have held it to the present time.
In 1916 the record shows that
46 native owners owned 1O47
reindeer, while the mission own
ed sos deer.
In 1923 there are "a owners
listed in the Teller herd called
CO-OWnerS, a name coined for
the native owners who own

The Teller Mission Herd.
In 1916 the Teller Mission,
overcome by the offer to pur-

Friendships Should Be "Renewed"

The Phoenix Gazette, in editorial published on the
afternoon of election day. offered good advice to
any citizens who grew pretty warm around the collar
during the campaign
Late Tuesday night several eminent speakers on the
radio offered substantially the suggestions con-
tanned the following editorial from the Gazette which
appeared under the heading LETS Be Friends Again:
Friendships, frozen in instances begin to
thaw out after election results known and
the period jubation and notwithstanding whom
you backing-passes.

in governmental affairs but he shouldn't take ms
.polics" so seriously to endanger friendships.
because can't bring all friends around TO
our viewpoint is to think friends are all
wrong or downright dumb They may hold the same
thoughts about perhaps they do Maybe we've given
them plenty of provocation to entertain such ideas.
Getting steamed up" real issues is sometimes
justified by the that might be done should certain
pieces of legislation pass be defeated But to lose valued
friendships just you think Senator Sorghum Dem
ocrat is better man than Senator Spebnder Repubi-
can is a serious mistake.

the benefit of the politicians In Republican states citizens

Any fairninded citizen will admit that both parties
at times have strayed far afed their policies since

MT. STERLING GETS
MAIL BY FREIGHT
I. 1. + i. + !. j. i. j. : j. i. j.

The village of Mt. Sterling believes
it has rather undeserved distinction
that does not make any great hit with
the population in general in the fact
that the mail is now delivered to Mt.
Sterling, along with Grove City,
Orient, Bloomingburg and Madison
Mills, by freight.
Not that it takes freight train to
get the mail to Mt. Sterling, but be-
cause the passenger train that form
erly brought in the mail runs no more
and probably never will run again, the
patrons of the Mt. Sterling postoffice
believe.
According to one resident of the vii
lage, the situation is most unfortun-
ate since freight trains have habit
of arriving from one to two hours
late, which makes all other mail trans
portation facilities in the village just
as late or later.
Reports from the village state thai
what will be done about the matter
is merely speculative and most Of tbs
citizens do not look for any improve
ment, at least under present condi
tions
