JACKSON REPLIES
TO CHURCHILL
Missionary Defends His Conduct
of Alaska Reindeer
Bureau.
By Cable to The Doily Gateway.
Washington, I). C., Aug. 24—Shel
don Jackson replies to the charges
made by Special Agent Churchill of
the interior department against his
conduct of the reindeer bureau in
Alaska. He says the reindeer which
were given to Eskimos were bestowed
as compensation for services and went
to natives who served five years ap
prenticeship in caring for herds at the
missions. The reindeer were given
them when earned in pursuance of
contracts with the government. Those
given to Laplanders were as compen
sation for teaching apprentices how to
care for the herds.
Answering the criticism of the dona
tions of money to the mission school at
Sitka Mr. Jackson says this was done
in pursuance of a policy established in
the administration of President Grant
and continued under every administra
tion since.
