KENAI PENINSULA REINDEER
Though the reindeer is versally regarded as an
inhabitant of snowy countries i eding on lichens or moss,
mushrooms, grass and willow sprouts which grow even
on the poorest soils, the possibilities for successful rein
deer culture in the Kenai Peninsula are practically un
limited
The theory that reindeer thrive only where there is
an abundant of growth of so-called “reindeer moss” has
been exploded as it has been proven by many now engaged
in the business that reindeer thrive where any of the na
tive wild game, moose, sheep, goats, caribou and deer
exist.
At present the reindeer herds of Alaska, estimated
to contain more than 600,000 deer, are raised principally
in the Seward Peninsula and the lower Yukon and con
tiguous valleys bidding fair to become the Territory's
most extensive and profitable industrial enterprise. in
supporting the world demand for meat, the exportation
of which is already an industry of great commercial im
portance.
We can see no reason why Seward and the Alaska
Railroad should not share in this trade. The Kenai Pen
insula with its 18,000 square miles of land embracing mil
lions of acres of accessible grass lands in the valleys and
on the mountain slopes affords a promising field for rein
deer men. Official documents relating to Lapland show
that on an area of 14,000 square miles there about 400,000
head of reindeer, sustaining in comfort some 26,000 peo
ple.
The Kenai Peninsula, where native grasses are abund
ant and nutritious, should sustain a population of more
than 30,000 people with a half a million head of reindeer.
In anticipating the future development of the reindeer
industry in Alaska it behooves the government to favor
ably consider this section of Alaska as a region offering
best opportunities for promotion of reindeer raising with
all benefits of roads, trails and rail transportation with
Seward as the gateway through which the dressed car
casses and by-products may be shipped to the States.
HOT DOG VS. COLLEGE
George J. Deck of Buffalo was poor but ambitious
when at the age of 18 he determined to have a college
education. But hot dogs blocked his way.
Casting about for some means of earning his way
through college, Deck tried running a hot dog stand and
met success beyond his fondest expectations. Business
was so good that he could not take time to go to school.
Soon he opened additional stands, all of which prospered.
Recently he bought out six competitors and now has
what virtually amounts to a “hot dog trust” in his home
city, with a warehouse, a bakery, a butcher shop, a fleet
of 12 trucks and 16 hot dog stands. His annual turnover
is more than $500,000 and he draws from his business a
salary equal to that of the President of the United States
—$75,000 a year.
But it looks as if he will have to worry along without
a college degree. Still he holds a very desirable, if not
dignified, title. He is known as “the hot dog king.”
Yesterday, in calling attention to the fact that Lowell
Point was still a Naval Reserve, we said that many Seward
persons would probably be pleased. This was hardly right
as some persons had desired to homestead dowm there.
The word we should have used was “surprised.”
The next thing will be reducing the head to accom
modate Eugenie’s pet sky piece.
Now it’s shellacked hair. And next will be sign
painters turning hair dressers.

! CHICAGO, Oct. 23. —Some hope
| is expressed in Chicago that the
j tense situation caused by the fact
that the money to pay off civil
service workers and city school
teachers became exhausted six
months ago when city authorities
glimpsed some $6,000,000 as being
available to be used as partial pay
; ment until more funds are avail
! able.
The money has been available
! through the dissolving of an obli
gation by the city. It is said that
the city needs $17,500,000 to meet
abligations incurred.
WHS Iff DENIED
PERMISSION INCREASE
OF FREIGHT RATES
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 23. (JP)
—The Interstate Commerce Com
mission denied railroads permission
to increase freight rates through
out the country.
Suggestions were made, however,
for special increases in rates upon
designated commodities during a
limited period. The suggestions
were conditioned upon the submis
sion for approval between carriers
for pooling the revenue derived
from the suggested increases.
This action was taken by the
Commission, it is said, for the "pri
mary purpose to enable railroads
to meet their fixed interest pay
ments as they mature.”
The Seward Chamber of Com
merce met at its regular weekly
meeting yesterday at noon in the
Seward Grill.
