Therefore lie it resolved, That on Ih -
half of the A retie Brotherhood we
hereby convey to the relatives ami
friends of our late brother our deep
sense of or eat sorrow and the loss which
this Brotherhood feels in the removal of
our member by death in his early man
hood. Not only was our deceased
‘brother a loyal member of the Arctic
Brotherhood, but he endeared himself
to all by his benevojence and integrity,
in all things exemplifying to a singular
degree his belief in those principles
which teach universal brotherhood. This
Brotherhood therefore feels that by his
death each member has sustained an
individual loss.
Besolved, further, That a copy of
these resolutions he forwarded to our
deceased brother's relatives and also to
Miss Susie Brice, who favored him with
her friendship and wise counsel; also
that a copy he printed in the Vlaska
l’orum and in the Yukon Valley News

Herd of Reindeer
Now at Tanana
Tin' herd of I’l’S reindeer formerly sta
tioned near Hetties has heen put in
charge of theTanana mission, with Rev.
,1. L. lTevost as superintendent. The
herd is being pastured twenty miles
north of Tanana.
Two Laps and three native apprentices
care for the deer. Of the herd 100 have
heen loaned to one of the Laps by the
government for live years, 100 to the
mission for three years; the rest are the
property of the mission. Females com
prise the greater part of the herd, and a
rapid increase i* looked for. Probably
17o will he added to the number the
coming spring.
Pasturage is practically unlimited.
Vast areas of moss lie between Tanana
and the upper Koyukuk ; and if the deer
become so numerous that it will he best
to divide the herd and place a portion of
it at Fort Yukon, there also plenty of
feeding ground exists. Indeed, eastward
for hundred of miles into Canadian ter
ritory is great stretches of ideal reindeer
country.
Any ordinary depth of snow that pre
vails in this country does no serious
harm to the deer. Hard-crusted snow
wood shut them out from their food
supply, but that does not prevail here.
POSTPONEMENT.—On account of
* the busy season on the creeks
the Jolly Companions have post
poned the grand ball and cake
walk from Feb. 22 to March 30.

ANDERSON AND CARSE
Accused of Selling Goods Without
License on the Yukon Above
Fort Hamlin.
Fairbanks News. Jun. IS.
The question of whose business it is to
collect the money for federal licenses has
been raised again by a communication
just tiled with the clerk of the federal
court. It is dated from Ham part and
says that a man named Anderson is sell
ing tobacco eight miles above Fort ‘
Hamlin without any license, and that
the same is true of James (.'arse, mail
carrier, who is selling goods without any
license forty-five miles above Fort :
Hamlin.
The communication is on file and it is
likely that nothing further will lie done.
The clerk has often stated that it is no
part of his business to go out and collect ,
money for federal licenses, the prose- j
ruling attorney takes the view that he i
has nothing to do w ith the matter until
a complaint is sworn out, and the dep
uty marshal does not feel called upon to
take any action until a service complaint
has been given them to lie served.
