ALASKA'S REINDEER
lCarl J. Leman, *u the Nat’oiia* lev
praphic Magazine.)
The Alaskan reindeer is not high y
prolific. The female deer usually
birth to one fawn a year, and it there
are twins, one or both or the young is
liable to die.
The rapid increase of reindeer n
Alaska is due to two facts: One is the
remarkable hardihood of the fawns,
which only a few hours aftrtr bi-th
are st’ong and fleet of foot. The con j
trust between tho self reliant r
deer fawn and the weak, knobby
kneed colt or ca’f is striking and lin>
much to do with the tendency *n
spite of a low birth rat*\ As tb*
social worker would say. the infun'
mortality ;s sbght.
The other factor in the rapid ir
crease, and an i!lu*trat;on of th ‘ fact
that early fecundity is not entir»*’v
fact that yearling reindeer frequent

The reindeer has been aptly named.
Of all ungulate, ruminant and gr*
gnrous animals, it is one of the me :
part cular in the selection of its foul.
It pastures during summer on tend*
moss 'S, lichens, mushroms, al^ae, and
gras es. Its typical home is Lapland
In the Lap tongue the word “teir.o '
means pasturage, so that the wo*

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACT
URED FURS IN THE NORTHWEST and all we ask of you Mr. Shipper
is to gi>c us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that
we pay more for furs and make quicker returns than you can get any
where in the country. We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and
have built up a very extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all
parts oi the United States, Canada and in a great many European Cities.
By shipping to us you are not on y helping an Alaskan industry but
you are helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely as we buy direct from the trap
per and trader and sell direct to the consumer, thus wc are able to pay
you a better price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS
THE SAME DAY SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
II so desired when your shipment amounts to $100.00 or more, we w ill
wire our bid and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense
* and we will ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fail with yourself as well as with us and
make us a trial shipment, the result will make you a steady shipper.

I temporarily at least, by possibility
I that the matter will find its way inti
(court, there to determine the rcspec*
ive rights of the persons in question
The story in b*iof is that Purnival
last week purchased Lot 3, Block i
ommonly known at the Chief Kia
jroperty for some person or person
vhose names have not been made pul*
ic. That yesterday N. P. Olson wc::;
o the property , the front of wh <•’
s tide lands, drove some stakes, e.;
dently with a view to putting a plat
onn there to claim the property i
•is own. Fu mi vail later went to In
>roperty, after he learned of Olson*,
ction. engaged men to start driving
>iles of h s own and finally did eon
truct a platform there, which seem
o be the legal necessity to hold tid<
unds property, or which has been *
ery common practice.
Olson appeared on tho scone with a
wolver and d’ove Fumivall’s work
oen away. Chief of Police Augu'u
•root took Olson into custody, ch*'*
og him with pointing a gun at e-' j
ther. He then let him go on his own
•'cognizance, after taking possession
f th ' revolver, a .38 calibre automat
\ Olson then went back again and
%-ith his hands as weapons a gun
hove the men off, hitting one Lynch
s he was leaving, all of which is a!
mitted hv Olson. The chief of poVcr
hen took him into custody again and
he was later admitted to cash bail
he sum of 810 which he furnished, to
-ether with the promise that he wend
ot return to the property to caus*
’ irther disturbance.
The Fu mi vail force then proeeedc ’
•ith th°ir work of building the plat
