SEWARD VISITOR PLACES
BIG FAITH IN REINDEER
TO REDUCE MEAT COAST
Dr. E. W. Nelson, chief of' the
I biological survey, U. Si Department of
I afiicuiturc, with headquarters in
Washington is visiting Seward on an
•Inspection trip through Alaska in
connection with the federal work un
der his administration. This includes
die laws and regulations for the pro
le rtion of the land fur bearing ani
ru.ls of Alaska and thosd protecting
Im? migration of wild fowl such as
ducks and geese under a treaty with
Great Britain to prevent the exter
mination of valuable birds in the Uni
ted States and Caifoda.
One of the most important objects
of I)r. Nelsons visit to Alaska is for
the purpose of establishing at Una
lakett a reindeer experimental sta
t,!; ii tor the purpose of helping devel
op this promising industry. The ex
perimental station and labratory well
equipped with modem appliances for
1 study of the diseases and parasites of
reindeer and for a careful investiga
tion of the grazing problem which
must be solved in order to work out
plans for grazing allotments for the
be ds under different ownership. The
beards are already so numerous o-n
i *
the Seward peniqsula that the earlist
possible allotment of grazing areas
is needed. Twenty-eight years ago
the first reindeer were brought from
Si I eria and a total of only 1280 were
( in!"educed during the following ten
years. The descendenta of this small
introduction now number somewhere
from 150,000 to 200,000 aniinais. With
the attention of the government now
plans to give the industry even the
extraordinary results already obtained
may be excelled.
There will be plenty of reindeer
meat available, in the course of a
/t1 y short ilKie, to supply all the re
! quirement' of Alaskans in the meat

BIG PROFITS
N EGGS
I ^ * v
There’s big profits in raising poultry for egg production under the
wonderfully successful Alderwood Manor system. V ,,
Just beyond the borders of the great seaport city of Seattle, the Puget
Mill Company, since 1853 prominent in the industrial development of
l the State of Washington, has founded a great poultry community, known
\ as Alderwood Manor;
\ In the center of the 18,000 acres of ideally adapted logged-off land, this com
\ pany has built at a cost of $200,000.00 a most remarkable Demonstration Farm and
Poultry College, where community settlers have the unusual privilege of a free ed
ucation in poultry raising, home gardening, fruit and berry cultbre. It is through
this free educational system that the Puget Mill Company is already rewarded in
seeing hundreds of inexperienced men and women achieve rapid success in. raising
poultry for egg production.
In the brief span of three years thousands of 5-acre farms have been sold to city folks who
have tired of the uncertainties of payroll existence. More than 350 homes and poultry plants
have been built to date and hundreds more planned and ready for the builder.
Alderwood Manor presents a most uunusual opportunity to those who' realise the insecur* '
ity of city life and who wish to engage in business for themselves.
tv,to ,fnrv of wrresses at Alderwood Manor is both inspiring and fascinating. How men and women who had the cottage to
J* thwart SS? a smaWount of ready cash are already making good in a b.g way.
The Puget Mill Company will aid you in every way; sell you five acres on easy, long time payments with a low rate
interest; help you to build and stock the place.
If interested, write for the complete plan and the story of the New Life of the Land, which U free to those

; increase in the number of reindeer
has been sufficient to encourage the
belief that the future meat supply of
the territory is assured. There are in
the territory at the present time 200,
000 reindeer, in addition to which 100,
000 have been killed. What the in
crease will be during the next 201
years runs into big figures and Dr.
Nelson is of the opinion that the ani
mals will be soon plentiful at the end
of the next five years tliat Alaskans
need not look elsewhere for meat
There will' be plenty reindeer meat
for and at a price that will remove the
temptation to kill moose and caribou
for the local markets.
One method of improving the herds j
will be to cross-breed them with the
caribou of the interior by capturing
and placing young caribou bulls with
the reindeer. Dr. Nelson's assistant
Mr. 0. J. Murie will make Fairbanks
his headquarters for the coming
year and will spend most of his, time
investigating the great caribou herds
for which this region is famous. This
will be for the purpose of getting
information to be used in the breed
ing experiments. The reindeer being
| killed for shipment out of the coun
| try now dress about 150 pounds each
land it is believed the weight can be
1 brought up to nearly, or quite double
\ ^
I that amount
j * The Loman Brothers company at
I Nome,now own nearly.30,000 reindeer.
This company is building a cold stor
age plant at .Golovin bay and another
at Egowik, a few miles from unaiax
leet to prepare the carcases for ship
ment to Seattle. Next season will see
the beginning of regular exportation
of meat from Alaska which within a
few yeaips will not only solve the meat
problem of this territory bat will
make a natable addition to the food
supply of the United States*...
4 La addition to being chief of the
biological survey, Dr. Nelson is
charged with the administration of
the lawsregulating the taldng of fur
bearing Idhd animals and is also in
charge of the administration of game
laws, of which, by the Way, he k^i
