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

BIG SOUTHPAW NEVER
HEARD OF CRAWFORD
Got Acquainted With Him When
He Hit Terrific Smash.
I Otic hears a flock of odd stories
| listening to a bunch of ball players
j talking shop. Ray Chapman pulled
! one that was a gem.
“Did you fellows ever hear about
, Babe Ruth, the big southpaw of the
Boston Red Sox, when Babe faced the
! Detroit Tigers for the first time?"
asked Chappie.
Nobody bad beard it. so Ray con
tinned;
“Ruth was on his first western trip
with the Sox and was not allowed to
start a gHine until the team reached
Detroit, the last stop before going back
to Boston, and RuUi worked the final
game. He won it, 3 to 2, but in the
iast half of the ninth with a man on
first a Tiger put the business end of
his bat against a fast one and sent
the ball a mile a minute to the right
field stands for a home run. The next
batter was easy plckiug, and the game
was over.
"Upon his return to Boston Ruth
met a friend when the train pulled
into the Back Bay station. This friend
grasped Babe by the hand, reruark
! ing; ‘Well, 1 see you bent the Tigers.
; Did they hit. you very hard?’
“ ‘The team didn’t, but one guy
slammed a bail almost out of sight

PLAY GOLF, SAYS BOBBY.
1 —-■
Best Sport In the World to Develop a
Chap Properly.
Value of outdoor sports for fitting
American youth for possible service
for Uncle Sam is shown in the case of
Robby Jones, fifteen, hoy golf chnm
pion.
When Bobby was six bis health was
poor. He didn't seem to possess the
vitality of bis playmates. His condi
tion distressed bis parents. Bobby took
up golf nnd says lie has not been sick
a day since.
As to golf. Jones says it is the best
sport in the world to develop a chap
properly.
"It beats swimming and other
sports.” says the boy champion. “Be
sides giving me good bodily health, it
has helped my eyesight a lot and made
me more eager to pay attention to my
school studies.
“I advise every boy in America to
play golf if he can get the chance.
"I used to get up every morning at 6
o’clock and go around the course.
”1 am going to stick to golf as long
as I can swing a club, and I believe I
will always be in good shape phys
ically.”
The Yanks Miss Him.
The jinks has found the Yankees
early this season and put his brand
on the old reliable clouter, Frank
Baker. A fast inshoot thrown by Her
bert Pennock, southpaw twirler for
the Boston Red Sox, caught the fam
ous slugger on the left hand, frac
turing his thumb. Baker was com
pelled to retire and will be out of the
Yankee lineup for at least two weeks.
The coast towns generally have or
I ganized ball teams and started prac
I tice. Cordova and Juneau especially
have started out under favorable con
ditions and the fans are wildly en
thusiastic over the season’s prospects.
Despite the cold weather Manager
Mills had the Commission team out
last evening for a two hours’ prac
tice. The diamond was slow and to
day’s light fall of snow will make fast
j practice impossible for a few days.
C. G. Wilford worked out at first
1 base last night with the Commission
team and was going good. He will
probably fall heir to the initial sack
for the season.
Charley Herzog, the star second
baseman for the New York Giants
and one of the mainstays of the team,
| fell in the Pennsylvania station last
j week and suffered serious injury to
j his spine. Herzog attempted to kick a
piece of chewing on the tile floor and
I his feet slipped from under him and he
i fell heavily. Herzog will be sorely
i missed by the Giants who are going
j fine this season.
Len McIntyre, pitcher, has been re
j leased to the Spokane club by Frank
! Chase of the Pacific Coast League
1 team.
Tommie Thompson telephoned in
I from Potter creek this morning that
I they have started work on the base
j ball diamond and will have it in shape
for the opening game,
i Leo Van Dever is working out with
| the Turnagain Arm team. Leo was
