REPORTS ON
BROWN BEARS
AND REINDEER
The use of reindeer meat in Alaska
wiM not become general for many
years- says (iovernor Higgs in his re
port on the Alaska game laxv- submit

States department of agriculture at
Washington, (iovernor Riggs ilea's

ing information in connection with
these animus. Th<* report in part fol

“A great deal of stress has been
laid on the possibility of supplanting
the use of game by that of reindeoi.
now being successfully raised. This
idea is n<» novelty* and is gradually
being worked out- but the use of rein
deer meat w’l! not become general in
Alaska for many years. At Nome and
on * he Seward peninsula • and even
far up the Yukon river Marshal1*
reindeer meat is becoming one of the
<tapl< articles of diet* hut the herds
are not yet of such size as to allow
wide distribution of meat.
“As a member of the Alaskan engi
neering commission I endeavored t >
procure reindeer meat for the con
struction camps at Xcnana. Freight
rates on live deer* original cost* atten
dance and feed en route* and slaugh
tering and dressing, brought the price
of the dressed carcasses to approxi
mately r»0 cents per pound for a whole
carcass. Reef was being landed in Xe
nana at that time for 31’» cents per
pound for the whole carcass* hene°
the cost of reindeer bleat was prohib
itive. The cold storage barge company
refused to quote a rate on dressed rein
deer* as all their facilities were in us*
for the tran pot tat ion of beef. Natur
ally they did not desire to enter into
any business other than their legiti
mate line.
“There ate now approximately 120*
000 reindeer in Alaska. The surplus of
the herds is being used in their im
mediate vicinity* and small shipments
are lw*ing made to Seattle from Nome
on an attractive freight rate. Ship
ments of reindeer have been made
from Seattle to San Francisco and to
St. Paul* where the meat has been
sold as a luxury. Eventually herds
will slowly move into other parts of
Alaska and serve a most useful pur
pose in relieving the drain on the
game supply. Reindeer can not be
driven readily from one part of the
country to another, as many so fondlv
imagine. The drift of a herd is slow;
the country is either mountainous or

“I'rown" hears are included among
the game animals in the present Alas
kan law. and as such receive protec

concur with the general opinion of
the resident* of Alaska* that all boai>
.should be eliminated from the list »•
game animals* and that protection
should he withdrawn nom mem.
Hrov. n bears on Kodiak island have
killed domestic stock and menace the
possibilities of establishing stoekrai**
ing as an industry. At present
cattle have to be kept in fenced area .
because of the danger from hears. It
will he difficult to establish stock
raising anywhere in Alaska where
brown bears exist. When salmon
run up the rivers boars feed on them*
and thus • to a certain extent* reduce
the supply. Hears have killed and
mangled many people in the wood
and this source of danger to life and
limb should he removed. The extei
mination of hears, therefore* would
improve the possibilities ot developing
Alaska.
“I have made an investigation to
ascertain the opinions of sportsmen
and others outside ot Alaska for ti e
purpose of understanding their rea
sons for wishing to continue the pro
tection of these bears. lhey asset
that where bears menace bona fi< >
stock-raising they should be destroyed.
On the other hand* however* they in
sist that many of the reports of hea s
injuring men are exaggerated* and
that while many reports have prove 1
true* yet. considering the proportions
of deaths and injuries to men by boai •
as compared with the numbers of pc >*
pie who traveled in the regions where
bars exist* it must be true that dan*
gerous bears are most exceptional* and
that the chances of injury from them
are very much less than from acci
dents from numerous other naturd
causes. They admit that bears kid
salmon* hut believe that the toll ot
salmon thus taken is not of much sig
nificianee in reducing the supply. Thev
believe that the greater part of the
regions inhabited by bears is a wi'
demess* where the animals can do no
harm* and that the reported danger<
and damages by bears do not apply t *
much of the area where they live; that
if protection were withdrawn from
bears and their skins were thus com
mercial iz°d it would soon lead to th**
extermination of the animals in the
coast regions; that the profit accru
ing from trading in these skins would
then cease* and an asset most valu
able to Alaska would be lost foreve;;
that Alaska and British Columbia wi’l
piove the last refuge of the big brown
bears; that previou/to the war from
$15*000 to $20*000 was spent by Out
side sportsmen each year in Alaska
for the sport of hunting these bears,
and that in the future the money to
be expended for this purpose will
largely increase. They also assert
that by thus attracting outsiders to
the country* many of whom are
wealthy and interested in the wilder
ness* an occasional one will invest in
the resources of the country, as some
have done already; and that people
who have hunted bears sometimes
write book and thus advertise the
country and make it known by report
to others. Thus* indirectly they be

“Alaskans do not understand tlx
