WHY
V-' i *
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there. i :
By buying over the G. M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that cpmes from nding behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful, in . all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.

REINDEER MEAT
FOR ANCHORAGE
• > [i
Louis Jensen who left here Septem
ber 10 for the purpose of investigat
ing the reindeer industry around Lake
Iliamna with a view to obtaining ani
mals for meat markets, returned on
the power boat Pet last Thursday ev
ening. In the party with Mr. Jensen
were Isaac Berg and George Moor.
They landed at Iliamna bay on the
west shore of the Inlet and proceeded
across the portage to the lake, the
biggest lake in the territory. They
made a complete circuit of the lake to
locate reindeer. They observed about
1500 herded by the Indians but were
unable to find a sufficient number of
steers to justify slaughtering and
bringing a boat down from Anchor
age for the carcasses.
While in that section of the coun
try Mr. Jensen learned of herds of
reindeer around Bethel near the
mouth of the Kuskokwim numbering
many thousands. From Lake Illamna
to the pasturing grounds of the rein
deer by winter trail is a distance of
about 260 miles and it is the inten
tion of Mr. Jenson to go into the Beth
el country during the winter and drive
out several herds. They will be butch
ered at Iliamna bay and the dressed
product will be transported to An
chorage by boat.
Mr. Jensen was entirely satisfied
with ills trp and expects to start for
the Kuskokwim as soon as the trails
permit, which would be about the
middle of November.—Times.
