On April 7. 8 and I*, at White
Mountain. a conference of reindeer
herders and owners, and Govern
Jneni teachers was held to discuss
matters relative to the reindeer in
dustry among the natives. More
than 115 delegates attended this
conference, representing the villages
<>*' Teller. Igloo. Nome, Solomon.
Golovin. Klim. Bonanza, and Shak
tootlk. The following subjects of
interest t*> reindeer people were dis
cussed: The Organization of Rein
deer Herds was discussed by Mr. K.
1. Range. Government teacher at
White Mountain. His remarks were
continml principally to the organiza
tion <.f the Council herd of which he
has charge, and under whose direr
tions the herd w>> organized. The
main features of the plan are one
mark and brand, and increase and
or. a percentage basis.
Corrals and corral building was
discussed by Mr. Elmer T. Forsling.
of 'he Biological Survey Bureau. Mr
i' I,. Range, and Mr. Misha S. Ivan
off. Government teacher at Shak
toolik Mr. Forsling pointed out the
necessity of adequate corrals in or
der to handle large herds to the best
advantage. His remarks were based
on his observations of many corrals
on Seward Peninsula and Norton
Sound and other parts of Alaska. He
urged the use of chutes in handling
deer and the entire elimination of
h.- explained in detail the construc
tion of corrals and chutes, emphasiz
ing especially a movable fence by
means of which a corrall could
quickly he divided into compart
ments to facilitate the handling of
large herds, and a V-shaped chute
through which the deer are to he
passed. Mr. Range discussed cer
tain corrals built and used by him
self and the Council herders, corrals
which have been used for counting
and rutting out deer as well as
branding, castrating and slaughter
ing. Mr. IvatToff described the type
o* rorr-M developed at Shaktoolik by
himself and the herders there. This
ttires with those discussed above, the
difference being that the chute is
double and placed within the corral
two equal parts. The advantages of
this are that a large herd can be put
into each division of the corral at the
same time, and be worked simultan
eously by two crews of men by
means of the double chute. Corrals,
of what may be called a modern type,
are rather recent and so far the de
velopment has been along the line
of the Loiuen Reindeer and Trad
ing Corporation corral at Golovin.
Breeding, Castrating and branding
were subjects discussed by Mr. Fors
ling. in which he. emphasized the im
portance and significance of the
proper selection of breeding stock.
at,d modern methods of emascula
tion. He also explained and urged
the use of the branding iron as the
best means of marking reindeer. Mr.
Range also recommends tho use of
the branding iron, having used it
successfully in the Council herd.
Mr. Dupertius explained the mar
keting on meat in general, and of
reindeer meat in particular, with the
view of giving the natives the right
ideas regarding the price they may
expect for meat when sold in large
quantities, as compared with the
price for meat sold in the local mar
ket. The natives have been under
the impression that they, themselves
can determine the price of the meat.
One of the objects of the discussion
was to correct this erroneous idea.
The subject of cooperative, stores in
each village was touched upon. It
is the plan of the Bureau to estab
lish cooperative stores in every vil
lage in which such an enterprise will
be likely to succeed, and make the
reindeer herd of the village a part
of the assets of the store, or rather
oi the company operating the store.
The keenest interest was evi
denced at every session of the con
ference. and everyone present felt
he had derived real benefit from the
discussions. It wras decided by un
animous vote that another confer
ence of this character should be held
April. 192S. at White Mountain.

“The marrying gnfue in Germany
