REINDEER STEAKS AHEAD
i From the San Francisco Examiner)
Reports from Alaska are cheering for it expects one of its leading
assets to double in value in 1932. The reindeer on the Alaska tundra,
which is as large as Texas, have increased to 650.000 and a mild winter
auge's a plentiful crop of young reindeer, with more steaks for Alaskans.
Not a single reindeer was on that vast expanse until the govern
ment- brought over a few^ from Asia 40 years ago for the Eskimo along
the Bering Sea. So phenominal has been their increase that the Gov
ernor has had to appoint a council to cope with the problem of the sale
cf reindeer meat
Some markets have been distributing it for almost 20 years. But to
the public the delicacy is as unknown as mangosteen or whale cutlets.
Gourmets vow it is tastier than prime beef.
A well known Alaska prospector believes in smoking, not only as a
source of comfort, but also as a harbinger of good luck. The story is
told that a few years ago he lit his pipe and threw the burning match
into i hole in the ground. The flame revealed a shining interior w^hich
investigation showed to be lined with gold particles- From that pocket
tire Sourdough has since taken about $50,000 worth of gold.
vght tons of peanuts have been stolen from a Georgia warehouse.
It may be only a coincidence that peanut politicians are becoming
more active.

SEWARD AIRPORT HANGAR
FINISHED SATURDAY BY
THODY AND SENFT
Construction work on the Sew
ard Airport hangar was completed
Saturday by Thody & Senft, con
tractors. when they fininshed hang
ing the big hangar doors.
During the period of construc
tion the contractors were delayed
somewhat by the unusually bad
weather conditions and heavy
snows which blocked the road
to the aviation field but«aside from
this the hangar was built in rec
ord time.
The contractors can. with justifi
cation, feel proud of their work as
it was stated locally last week by
IL. McGee, of Barnhill & McGee,
Airways that the local hangar was!
j unquestionably one of the best, if i
not the best, in Alaska.
It is expected that one of the
Barnhill & McGee Airways planes
will be based at the Seward avia
tion field within a few days and
that the basing of a plane here
will no doubt mark a new page in
the development of Alaska aerial
transportation.
As plane runaways inside the
hangar were not specified in the
original contract it is expected that
they will be built at some later
date, or at a time when the Sew
ard Airport Association sees fit.
