J Sidney Rood acting general

vice left Nome February 10 by
Wien airplane piloted by Frank
Whaley to attend a handling of
reindeer at the Pastolik corral
and to fly the range to estimate
the uncounted remnant of deer
not gathered in the roundup. On
his return he will stop at Gol
vin where a handling of Lomen
reindeer is under way.
Chas G Burdiok in charge of i
the Reindeer Acquisition Pro- i
gram left Nome in the Mirow tri
motor Stinson piloted by Jack
Jefford February 10 to discuss
the sale of deer to the Govern
ment with various non-native
owners throughout the Kusko-1
kwim and Bristol Bay areas. ’ j
At Unalakleet Sam Kendrick
Norton Sound Unit Manager was
picked up and taken to the round
up of the Pastolik range where a
large number of non-native own
ed reindeer will be tallied in the
near future. These are owned
principally by Frank Williams,
Chas. Traeger and the Lapps at
Unalakleet.
A stop was made at Akiak to
contact owners in that area and
two days were spent on the
Quithlook range at the Akolak
otuk corral where 13,000 rein-!
deer were being handled and in
flying the range to estimate any
uncounted remnant missed in the
roundup.
John P Snow Bethel Unit Man
agcr made the trip to Bristol Bay
with Mr Burdick to assist in de
termining numbers of reindeer
on the Naknek range. The Pio
neer Reindeer Company of Ak
iak and Pher Thuuri are sole
owners of this herd which con
tains 6,740 head of deer.
The southbound flight was
made along the foothills where
very little signs of reindeer were
observed. The return trip was up
the Togiak River over the div-,
ide and down the Eek River to
Eek where results of a recent
roundup were secured from the
local reindeer superintendent
Art Anderson.
Figures computed at the Ako
lakotuk corral showed for the
first herd handled the fawn crop
was less than one-half per-cent.
A larger fawn crop in the remain
ing herds brought the percent
age of increase up to two per
cent. Wolves on the fawning
grounds are blamed for this
small increase which otherwise
would have been 50 percent or
more. Fawn percentages are bas
ed on the females in the herd
and not on the total number
which would include the males.
Mr Burdick advises that neg
otiations are progressing very sat
isfactorily and many deals are
being closed at an average val
uation of $3.00 per head. He ex
pects all deer will be purchased
by April one and then the pur
chase of cold storage, abattoirs,
range cabins and orrals will
start. The entire acquisition pro
gram should be completed early
in June.
A northern trip is planned
early next week to attend a hand
lingof reindeer at Theresa Creek
on the Deering range and to de
termine numbers of all the rang
es within that area. Flying will
be done in the tri-motor with
Jack Jefford at the controls.
