RAILROAD RESTORES
FIRST KANSAS CAPITOL
FORT RILEY, Kas., Aug. 31. (/P)—
The first capital of Kansas, now a
roofless structure of crumbling stone,
will be .restored to its aspect of 75
years ago.
A western railroad will assume the
|entire expense of restoration, costing
! $20,00. The building is located on
the Fort Riley reservation near here.
Hand-hewed lumber, like that in
the original building, will be used in
ithe reconstruction.
The building was completed in
1855. The lower floor was used for
the house of representatives and the
second floor for the territorial coun
cil, as the senate was called in those
days.
E. J. Beck, Westward district sup
erintendent for the Bureau of Educa
tion, departed for Valdez on the

CHICAGO COMPANY TO
PUT ALASKA REINDEER
ON MARKET IN STATES
Blazing a reindeer trail from the
Kuskokwim down to the Herendeen
bay country in Bristol bay with the
aid of six reindeer is the task which
Paul Kegstat has just completed.
Four of the reindeer died due to the
poor foraging through the regions
traversed. The other two survived
but only on account of being trained
to eat shorts. These are now hap
pily grazing and waxing fat at the
journey’s end.
The reason of blazing the trail was i
to select the best route to bring I
down from the Kuskokwim a herd of
10.000 belonging to the Laplanders.
Mr. Kegstat will also bring down his
herd of approximately a thousand at
I the same time. He is now enroute
[back to the Kuskokwim for the ani
*mals. But on the return trip, with
his many assistant herders, he will
follow' an entirely new trail along
which route there is abundance of!
forage. The route just blazed was j
shorter in length and it was for that i
reason the past trip with the
six reindeer wras made. The Lap
landers herd, upon arriving in the
Herendeen hay country, will be trans
ported across to Unga Island on
barges. The island is covered with
luxuriant grass. Later, it is said, the
Laplanders, who own approximately
60.000 reindeer in the Kuskokwim,
propose to bring them all dowm to
the new country and for one reason
only-, that transportation of the car
casses may be made throughout the
entire year instead of during the
summer season as in the past.
To the left of Herendeen bay a
Chicago company will construct a j
cold storage plant, also a huge |
slaughter house, pens, and dwellings
for the workmen and herders. Furth
er than this no additional informa
tion could not be obtained by The
Gateway with the exception that the
Chicago company will take the meat
directly East, featuring it along the
Atlantic coast down to Florida.
Mr. Kegstat 30 years ago was in
the government service at Sand
Point in charge of the custom house
office there.
Those w'ere the days wiien sealing
activities reigned supreme along the
Westward coast. But for many years
past he has devoted all of his time
to reindeer, at one time being super
intendent of Lomen Bros., herds
further north.
SOVIET PUS GROUP
OF JEWISH REPUBLIC
REGIONS OF KHERSON
MOSCOW, Aug. 31. (JP)—Nuclei lor
a group of Jewish soviet republics
within the Soviet union have bfeen
laid in the regions of Kherson, Khar
kov, Minsk and Odessa.
The Bolshevik government intends
ultimately to give these regions full
local autonomy, allowing the Jewish
settlers to create their own district
soviets and administrative bodies.
The dream, of thousands of Jews for
within the boundaries of their native
a “National Home” of their own
Russia is thus made a reality.
The colonization of Jews in the
new areas will include, of the 3,000,
000 Hebrews in Soviet Russia, only
about 1,000,000 'whose extreme pover
ty and social situation makes it de
jsirable to give them opportunities
for agricultural and industrial devel
opment in the new “republics.” To
date, the government has alloted
more than 250,000 acres of free lands
to the Jewish colonists in the Kher
son, Kharkov and Odessa regions.
