REINDEER MAN IS
EN ROUTE TO THE INTERIOR
Dr. J. L. Reed, accompanied by Tony
McDonald, arrived in Anchorage yes
terday afternoon over the trail from
Seward and stopped at the White
House last night. Dr. Reed is the fa
ther of the thought in the reindeer in
dustry on the Yukon and has recently
returned from an extended trip to the
states where he made arrangements
for the shipment of a cold storage
plant to be erected at Marshall city.
The plant will be shipped from Seat
tle around by St. Michael and he ex
•pects to have it in operation next
summer- The plan is to raise and
slaughter reindeer for the market th^t
has created a '.'great afemand for rein
deer meat. The proposition has all in
dications of being a commercial suc
cess and will no doubt be followed by
additional plants and a renewed activ
ity in this growing industry that
promises to become one of the terri
tory’s many assets.
Dr. Reed is driving a fine team of
11 dogs and left this morning for Idit
arod and the Yukon country. He was

tan appearance of Anchorage and
