ions of Alaska, ho brought with
proof of the fact that the northern
ranges of Alaska were once the na

drive the muskox from the ranees
tain Foster, but he is enthusiastic in
his belief that'they tould be intro
duced into the country with just
as successful results as followed in
the development of the Teigideer in
dustry.
One special ad vantage which would
be derived from the return of the
muskox to Alaska would be the in
crease. in the variety of the meat
supply of the territory. The de
velopment. of the muskox industry
woul also serve as a natural and fit
occupation for Indian herders, as
does the reindeer breeding at the
present time. Catpain Foster also
spoke very favortibly of the poten
tialities of this latlter industry,
which he regards as the solution of
the meat problem for Alaska, att<^
as one of the great potential resour
ces of the north.—Exchange.
