REINDEER FOR CANADA
The announcement that 5,000 reindeer will be trans
ferred from Alaska to Canada carries with it a signific
ance anything but favorable to the Alaska ranger. Once
these deer are placed on ranges around Lesser Slave Lake
and the moss areas about Lake Athabasca, the reindeer
markets will pass to that section of the American con
tinent. With the Edmonton and Dunvegan and the Alber
ta Great Waterways railroads penetrating the Lesser
Slave Lake and Lake Athabasca country there is rail con
nection with the consuming centres of Canada and the
United States. Owing to the fact that Canada is a great
cattle producing country, preferential tariff is offered to
secure an adequate beef supply for the United States. No
distinction may be made in the case of reindeer. Canada
like Alaska, has great areas of reindeer moss. Once the
nucleus herd increases to sufficient dimensions, the Do
minion bids fair to outstrip Alaska.
The situation is significant in that it discloses the
difference between the manner in which private capital
tackles a problem and the way a government bungles it.
Had the reindeer herds of the natives in the Arctic
been accessible to rail transportation during the present
season orders for thousands of animals could have been
filled.
But maybe it is another case, like TheAlaska Rail
road, where the federal government puts an Oregon boot
upon industry and commands the Alaskans to work out
their own salvation thus handicapped. And maybe it is
believed that the Eskimos are capable of entering the
marts of trade and holding their own against the white
man with his thousands of years of business training.

ed Winslett’s pass giving Stanford
the ball on its own 40-yard line. Af
ter two plays Hoffman punted to Tay
lor, who soon punted, Hyland catching
it fair on his own 37-yard line. Hoff
man passed to Shipkey for a 21-yard
reverse. Hoffman and Bogue put the
ball on Alabama’s 29-yard line and
Shipkey went six yards. Hoffman
passed on for a gain of 10 yards to
Shipkey. Bogue passed to Walker
who touched down. Bogue converted
as the period ended. Stanford 7, Ala
bama 0.
Alabama tied the score in the last
four minutes of the play when Wins
lett blocked Wilton’s punt and the
ball rolled back to Stanford’s 14-yard
line, where Wilton recovered it, but it
was the fourth down and Alabama
took the ball and pushed it over.
The game was marked by Hoffman’s
passing and succcessive ground gain
ing, Stanford’s fumbling and the crim
son’s comeback. The punting was
worse than poor thruout the game,
both teams being skew under the hot
sun. Stanford made 350 and Ala
bama 117 yards, Stanford 12 first
downs and Alabama six. ^n the
third period Hoffman pushed the ball
to Alabama’s 14-yard line, where
Bogue failed to place kick. When
they got the ball again and returned
it to the 26-yard line, they were pen
alized 15 yards and lost the ball on
an intercepted pass on the 20-yard
line. In the fourth down, Shipkey
recovered a punt and Taylor fumbled
on Alabama’s 16-yard line. Bogue
carried the ball to the seven-yard line
but lost on downs. Stanford backed
up under penalties and fumbles.

shuffled out of the path of “Topsy,”

who came smack up against Simon La
gree as she dodged the lupercals of
Erin’s Isle.
And there were dainty maids galore
who “rolled their own” and plied the
lip-stick like a calciminer, who later
sent some romantic youth scurrying
to cover when he learned he had been
holding his male school chum in fond
embrace believing it to be the balm
of his aching heart.
The ballet girl from gay “Paree”
made the same discovery when she
found that the crush she had prom
ised to make on the tall youth so Im
maculately groomed and with such
perfect manners was the girl who
borrowed a pinch of powder at the
last dance.
Characters representative of almost
every walk of life were represented.
When it came to awarding prizes,
the judges had their work cut out for
them as there were so many deserving
of consideration, yet the trophies were
limited.
