Reindeer

are shipped in refrigerator cars to
markets.
We find there are two general
types Of reindeer, the short, stocky
animal and the long, rangy, big
framed one. It is the latter that
possesses the harder and more SYM
metrically branched horns and the
one shown drawing the Christmas
sled through the air.
Reindeer herds or single animals
have fixed and dependable habits.
Herders find there Is little difficulty
in knowing what their charges will
do, If they take the trouble to learn
what they have done previously
under the same circumstances.
Thus, if permitted to do so, they
seek favorite haunts during certain
seasons of the year. 1t may be
food, shelter or to avoid their pests,
the mosquitoes and flies. Reindeer
move against the wind, especially
in fly season, and they travel as
much as 20 miles a day at this
time.
The food problem seems to be a
very simple one, if the animal is
seeking its own food supply. Lichens
in winter, green herbaceous vege-
tation in summer. Grazing several
hours, resting the same number,
is the routine of methodical life
established by them for their own
good, as a law of their tribe.
The Lapps, who are experienced
herderS of reindeer, taught the
Eskimos how to herd and rear the
animals brought to Alaska for
them. The native Eskimo Is an
intelligent person, though he does
not have much imagination when
1t comes to instigating something
new, neither is he a good business
man. Fishing and hunting being
the two things dear to the heart
of the Eskimo, the white man and
the Lapp own most of the animals,
though the Eskimo is coming to
realize what wealth lies in store
for him, if he will but concentrate
on reindeer raising.
Swimming is one of the things
these animals excel in, and in sum-
mer they love to find moist ground
on which to walk and find their
food.
Dark-coated animals are always
the choice, as they seem to work
better and are stronger than those
wearing much lighter shade. They

do not mind the harness they must
wear. With regular hours for eating
and rest, the reindeer has proven
to be fine animal for cross -coun-
try trips. Reindeer have unusual
antlers. They do not match! Male
and female have them and this
does not happen among any others
Of the deer family.

Reindeer
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

The fantasy of reindeer coming
through the air, drawing a sled
laden with gifts, has given place
to a reality, an airplane not only
mounting the clouds, but actually
landing in a field and unloading
its precious cargo
Reindeer are playing today a very
important part in the life of man,
and the reindeer industry In Alaska,
though still young, has shown that
with good management it will be-
come prosperous undertaking and
will have much to do with the sue
cessful development of the Ter
ritory.
We can today see what has been
accomplished over a short period
of time. The original stock in 1892
consisted of 1890 animals imported
from Siberia. From that time until

LIFE OF EIGHT
YEAR OLD BOY
SAVED AT CLINIC
WAS IN BADLY TOXIC AND
WEAKENED CONDITION
FR ON FOUR Assessed
TEETH BEFORE OPERATION

April report for the Community
Clinic given by DR.. James B. Par
ramore, director, shows 203 cases
treated and a dental case, which
was very unusual.
A boy of eight had been suf-
fering for several days with a
general mouth infection occasion
ed by four badly abscessed teeth.
He was referred to a local dem
fist for examination and was adj
ViSed that the four teeth be eX-
tracted at once. There are no
funds available for dental work
at the Clinic, but with the case
pressing and the family unable to
bear the expense, one of the To-
cal dentists volunteered the work.
1t was necessary to administer
ether teathe child in order to per-
form the four extractions at one
time, as ne had been unable to eat
solid food for several days and
was in very weak condition.
The operation was entirely sQe-
cessful, and probably saved the
life of the child in his weak and
toxic condition.
There were 224 prescriptions
filled of which 139 patients paid
a small sum to partially cover
the cost of drugs. The others re-
ceived theirs gratis.
Home visits to morbidity cases
continued. This service affords
the patients the opportunity of
receiving instructions in home
care for the case in question. At
the same time case-information
may be secured by the nurse in
charge whereby the clinic doc
tors may give medication and re-
lief to the patients until such
time as the patients may be able
to visit the clinic for thorough
examination.
There were ii visits in tuber-
culosis cases. Continued work in
this field includes X-ray pictures
of chests of patients and examina-
tions of Social Welfare workers.
New nurses at the Clinic is

duty daily, except Saturday after
noon and Sunday. for office con-
ference and other nursing service.
