Matanuska Reindeer
Ranching Co.
Will Bring Herd to Nelchina.
Only a few years ago the western part of the United States was j
j the home of the cattle rancher, and vast areas were used exclusively I
| for this paying industry, but soon the sheep herder began to crowd in
! on the rancher and they were followed by the diversified fanner.
! During this period as always the rancher has been making money, j
j and this business has made more millions than any other single in- l
dustry of North America; this was the case even when the average
price of a four-year-old steer was around $20 and feed and shelter
had to be provided for them during some of the winter months; if
under these conditions cattle ranching was a paying investment, how
much more so must the reindeer be here now, for what cattle was
* to the rancher of the west in those days the reindeer is to Alaska
now, and presents the same opening with the advantage as shown
by government experience of not having to be fed or sheltered in win
ter, as these hardy animals have shown themselves to be self-sustain
ing, and will bring 100 per cent more than the average steer of those
days, as the average reindeer would realize here today forty dollars,
the cost of herding is small as two herders can look after 500.
The Directors of the Matanuska Reindeer Ranching Co. have (e
i cided to bring a herd of reindeer to their Nelchina range, whicn is
! conceded to be one of the very best reindeer ranges in America, and
1 wishing to have the herd as large as possible, as the cost of bringing
j in a large herd would be much the same as a small one, and also
? wishing to get this delicious food product on the local market as
jj soon as possible, decided to sell some company stock, as this will
i enable them to bring in a larger herd.
i Call at our office, corner 4th and C Streets, and be one of the
5 original promoters of this paying proposition which means so much to
Anchorage and vicinity, and is one of the greatest steps towards
Alaska becoming self-supporting. Should you not have time to call,
write. ;

Owing to wet grounds neither of the i
local teams were able to practice Sun
day and every effort will be made to j
get the grounds in shape for practice [
by the middle of the week. The city
is overflowing with baseball talent
and the several new players have been
signed during the past week.
Both Managers Breek and Hansen
report progress with their teams and
it is a certainty tha* the Farmers and
Turnagain Arm boys each have quite
a following in Anchorage and neither
team will be without support when
they appear on the local diamond.
Dave Williams, Seward’s imported
player and well known to several local
ball players, lost his first game of the
season recently against the Seattle j
Giants. Williams was twirling for
the Boilermakers and while he lost
his game, 1 to 0, only allowed 5 hits.
If he keps up at his present rate of
speed Seward faans will have to dig
deep to get him for the Anchorage
Seward series scheduled for July at
Anchorage.

The New York Giants held their |
lead in the National league through- j
out the week, with Chicago a close j
second. St. Louis jumped from fifth .
to third place and Philadelphia took
the cellar position.
In the American league Boston [
passed Chicago and New York; Detroit i
passed the Phillies and Washington
stays a poor last.
Both Great Falls and Tacoma kept
up their winning streak, while Seattle
went from sixth to fourth with Van
couver trailing. While the season is
young it is safe to say that the race
in both major leagues will be equally
as close as last year and the pennant
winners will have to fight for every
game.
The amateur baseball season opens
in Seattle May I9th; the new City
ball park will be ready May 12th and
everything points to another success
ful season among the amateurs. The

new park is located on the identical
site of the first ball field in Seattle’s
history and is bounded by Fourteenth
and Fifteenth avenues and Jefferson
and Cherry streets. The grandstand
is being built at Fourteenth avenue
and East Jefferson street and will have
a seating capacity of 3500.
New Features Planned.
Many new features have been in
corporated in the plans and the park
is expected to be the most up-to-date
affair of its kind in the country. Four
exits will be provided from the grand
stands and bleachers and two addition
al exits direct to the street level from
the bleachers will make possible the
emptying of the stands in five min
utes.
Every possible comfort has ben ac
counted for, even to the providing of
a waiting and retiring room for wom
en. Separate locker, shower and dress
ing rooms for opposing teams for any
game will be installed directly in rear
of the pit of either team, so there will
be no need for the teams occupying the
same quarters at any time.
