10 the ArCIlC ocean.
Thus was begun trek of over
5000 reindeer across the northern
vastnesses that took five years and
two months to complete!
Once the cattle had set out from
Alaska, preparations were begun
for their reception at the Canadian
terminus place with the some
what sneezy name of Kittigazuit.
Here, on the Arctic rim, is situated
the government corral or inclosure
while 60 miles inland along the
eastern branch of the Mackenzie is
to be found the main reindeer
station with housing accommoda-
ton for the staff and warehouses
for supplies. Three Lapp herders
were brought with their families
from Norway in 1881 to train the
natives in the handling of the
deer when they should arrive, and
by 1888 a reindeer reserve, $500
square miles in extent, comprising
both summer and winter grazing
areas. had been completed.
1t was the spring of 1888 before
thSherd ever reached Canadian soil,
but they were still some way from

dian Department of Mines, and Re-
sources has sent officials to these
remote regions to report on the
fawning and round up, which take
place between April and August.
Ottawa, some 4,2O0 miles away, is
kept advised of events by radio.
About 1900 new babies" are born
every year, from April to June, in
the specially chosen faWnlng
grounds. These are situated on
Richards Island, just off the Arctic
mainland.
Late July or early August is the
time of the annual roundup when
the deer are corralled-that Is, put
through the corrals or pens. They
are counted and certain number
marked for slaughter. The meat
goes to the herders and the mission
hospitals and schools of the district.
A limited quantity is sold.
All these activities form part OF
the plan Of the Canadian govern
ment for developing the art of rein
deer husbandry among the Eskimos
of the North.
Credit for establishing the indus
try as a life-giving force in the
Arctic regions belongs to DR.. Shelton
Jackson, United States general agent
of education in Alaska. In 1890,
while on an investigation visit to
the chief villages on the Alaskan
and Siberian shores, DR.. Jackson
found that the condition of the Alas
kan Eskimos was very poor. Their
cousins across the Bering Strait in
Russian Siberia, however. made a
comfortable living from their REIN
deer herds. Alaska had none of
these animals and the natives sub
sisted meagerly on such whale, seal
and walrus as they could catch.
DR.. Jackson made the long trip
back to Washington, bent upon in
PRODUCING the domestic reindeer
from Siberia to Alaska as a source
of food and clothing for the native
population. Congressional approval
was won in 1893. but in the inter-
vening two years public subscrip-
tions of over $4,000 gave the indus
try its beginning. The initial pur-
chase-16 reindeer-Was made in
1891 and I'll were added the follow
ing year.
The animals were brought from
Cape Serdqe and South Head in
Siberia to Fort Clarence, Alaska, by
the United States revenue cutter
Bear, the same gallant ship in which
DR.. Jackson had made his historic
inspection trip, and whose captain,
Michael Healy, had Endorsed the
plan with conviction.
Siberian herders came with the
reindeer to their new habitat. A
base of supply from which new CEN
ters would radiate was established in
1892 and named the Teller Reindeer
Station in compliment to Senator
Henry M. Teller of Colorado who
had given his support to the plan
from the start.
DR.. Jackson was then authorized
to visit Lapland and contract with
a number of Lapps to come to
Alaska as instructors 10 the natlVe
Eskimos, the Lapp being recognized
as the best herder.
Between 1892 and 1902, Alaska
saw the importation of 1890 REIN
deer. From this number the pres
ent herds, variously estimated be-
tween 100000 and 100000, are de-
scended.
The care of Alaska's reindeer re-
manned with the United States Bu-
reau of Education till 1929. In that
year it was transferred to the docket
of the Governor of Alaska, but in
July, 1897, it was taken over by the
Office of Indian Affairs, Department
of the Interior, in order to complete
program of work among the
Alaskan natives.

Shower Comfort

Some people prefer tub bathing to

the former more relaxing. A mas
culine shower addict has solved this
difficulty, for himself at least. He
puts a short-legged bath stool in the
tub or shower cubicle, sits on it
restfully and lets the shower splash
on him in complete comfort. He
says the sitting method has a
further advantage. When the soap
slips from his hands, he doesn't
have to stoop 70 far to recover 1t.

Post unlovely human utterance is
he common mispronunciation of to-
Ry's word, 'pro-gr'm" The grunt-

The gram of program and tele-

To say ''pro-gr'm" and "tele-g grim"
as absurd and incorrect as it
ould be to say "mono-gr'm, dia-
