Itelndeer for Alaska,
Krlss Krlngle and certain Northern
races have done something to exploit
the reindeer, but it has remained for
Alaska to demonstrate all his numer
ous possibilities. For many years the
Alasknns, both whites and Itullnn-,
have used the reindeer for a multitude
of purposes, and during the past four
years Uncle 8am has taken a hand at
developing the usefulness of this little
understood animal.
Congress, In 1893, made a small ap
propriation for the purpose of "intro
ducing" the reindeer Into Alaska. As a
matter ot fact, the Alaskan Indians
had been driving reindeer for several
years, but It was necessary to use the
magic word "Introduction" to get the
bill through the Senate and House.
Long before that, too, tho reindeer
itedge was the most popular means of
locomotion In Lapland. But Congress
mutt always be unique.

"To the Laplander," writes a man
who has traveled through most north
ern countries, "the reindeer Is Invalua

ox and h;s sheep In one animal.

Then tha Secretary of the Interior

the head keeper of the reindeer ranch
that unlesa the herda were Increased. In
stead of diminished, tha ranch would
be aliollshed and. consequently the
Dead keeper ami hla assistants would
lose their comfortable beths. That set
tled It. Head keeper and assistants
turned over a new leaf from that time

of the herda had been due to their care

Herniary suddenly Increased their

that from that lime on the reindeer at

rich Copper lllver country, which. It Is
predicted, will be the centre of mining
Interests after thl winter. It would
be easy to establish a reindeer mall
service between the mouth of the Cop
per Itlver and Dawson City, for the
animals could easily cross the divide
at Hcolal I'oss and go by way of the
confluence of the Yukon and White
river to the Klondike region. Trading
stations might be built along the route,
and these could be made very useful a
baes of supplies for the argonauts. In
deed, It is reported that a bid for the
purchase of half the reindeer on. the
Government ranch haa been made by
a leading trading and transportation
company of New York, and that the
proposal Is now under consideration by
the Interior Department That this has
not been done before seems incredible,
for those same reindeer are worth In
Alaska ten times as much aa the best
of horses, which are practically useless

When this Santa Claus sort of
courier system gets Into working order
It Is planned to keep relaya of deer at
varloua points along the Yukon. They
will ba ready for action Just as relays
of horses used to help along th stage
coach. The reindeer ar very fleet and
will pull enormous loads. Aa they feed
on the moss and bunch grass found
everywhere In the Yukon country,
they will b able to keep alive without
any other fodder. In Siberia the rein
deer la all needful. It la the-native's

men who establish and maintain a

assisting the efforts of the Govern
ment, are likely to find a fortune.

they have ben for some time. Much of

" review; of tho coso Is rendered
comparatively simple, by the) publicity
already given It, fur never, perhaps, has.
tho action. o members, of a, building'
eommlaaloai ren so vigorously fva
nounced by both public and tecum
press and professional organisations,
and by their own president, thetr ItgaJ
counselor and their professional aoV
ler. as has the behavior of tho foar
commlsnloners whose vote has ansmllt
th Ilarrlaburg competition."
Of course the question now Is prac
tically settled that no capltol will a
built In time for th nest session of the
legislature. Th commission haa jugglarl
and manipulated thla matter of th
arrhltecta In aurh a way that It wDI
cost the state not les than 10t.(V)t.
The failure to have the capfte4
erected In time for the next legislature
mean Juat thl much financial loss tat
the people of the state. This Is the ptn
alty that the state pays for brlosT
operated by bosses.
