DEMAND FOR LIVE REINDEER
With five hundred live reindeer already shipped
from Alaska and unfilled orders for five hundred more, in
dications point to a general demand having established
for these exotic animals in all parts of the country. The
first live deer were a novelty to the dwellers of the south
ern mainland, but there is evidence that the animals are
destined to follow the history of all things American and,
like sheep, cattle and other domestic ruminants, will fin
ally be transplanted to any portion of the nation desired.
One of the agencies that has had a strong bearing on
the thansplanting of reindeer has been the discovery that
the animals may be taught to eat something besides moss.
Being a browser, the deer appears destined to eventually
supplant sheep and goats as a source of meat supply, his
greater weight recommending him ,while the cost of rear
ing will be no more than that of herding goats and sheep.
Now that the reindeer has been proven adaptable to
other climates and feeds it may not be so difficult to con
vince the dweller of the States that the condition is reci
procal, in that Alaska is capable of assimilating and pro
pagating almost anything it desires.
MR. SUTHERLAND MALAPROP
Delegate Sutherland displays extreme bad taste when
he reiterated pre-election charges that the press of Alas
ka was bought up by his unsuccessful opponent. He there
by denies the right of another to disagree with him and
exercise choice in choosing whom he should support. His
re-iteration wth respect to the fisheries question sounds
like William Paul saying: “Go on, Dan; tell ’em my
opinion of the matter.”
It is said that Iowa’s corn crop is 20,000,000 bushels
below the five-year average, but most persons would be
better able to approximate that loss if it were stated in
gallons.
Well that story pinched out. Now if Mrs. Hall does
not decide to go into the movies or write a book, all is well
that ends well.
The Chief of Police of Chicago says “Corral all the
crooks.” It was thought he had his share.
Many members of Congress will spend most of th(
time during the present session in packing up their be
longings for the trip home.
