REINDEER MEA'JJ MAV RELIEVE
FOOD SHORTAGE
Reindeer step.ks may some day
take the place of beef, if the meat
shortage becomes more Berlous. Un
der proper management Alaska may
become the source of large food
supplies, William T. Lopp, chief of
the Alaska Division of the United
States Bureau of Education believes.
Thousands of surplus male reindeer
are to be had In Alaska every year,
according to this authority, and
while small shipments have been
made from time to time there has
been no systematic exportation on
a large scale.
In a recent Interview Mr. Lopp,
who has been working with the na
tive Eskimos for 25 years, gave in
teresting statistics showing the suc
cess of the United States Govern
ment in the work of converting a
nation of hunters and fishermen in
to a pastoral people. This the Gov
ernment has done through th© im
portation of reindeer Into Alaska
from Siberia and through the en
couragement of 'ie reindeer in
dustry through the Alaska Division
of the Bureau of Education.
"Of the total of 98,582 reindeer
now in Alaska Territory 67,448 are
now owned by 1,568 native* Es
kimos, all of whom are expert herd
ers, trained through the apprentice
ship system instituted by the
schools,' said Mr. Lopp. "Reindeer
with a total value of $1,686,200
are now possessed by natives form
erly destitute.
"Reindeer meat is said to be as
nourishing as beef, and it would
contribute toward the conservation
of live stock, since the reindeer live
on a white lichen, which would
otherwise be useless, and there are
no expenses attached to their main
tenance beyond the la Dor of herd
ing and tthe cost of shelter and
butchering."
A DIME BUYS A CHICKEN POK
FRANCE
Miss Lucy Hewitt, an American
girl, is engaged in a novel war re
lief effort which she describes as a
^lan "to re-chlckenize France,'*
the American Committe for De
vastated France reports.
Miss Hewitt sells chicken Duttons
for 10 cents a piece. The buttons
say, "I have a chicken in France."
Each button represents the price of
an. incubator egg and 1,000 eggs
represents a full incubator.
During the evacuation of the De
partment of the Ai3no the refugees
wer# sent by thousand^ to the south
of France, but the incubators and
the cnickena provided through the
efforts of Miss Hewitt were as
sembled on a farm, where 600
refugees children are caring for
them, under the supervision of
poultry men who were once soldiers
and are now disabled.
"It costs ?400 to establish a poul
try farm," 6ays a letter from the
committee. "This includes the
wooden barracks provided by the
French Government, four Incubators
of 1,000 eggs each, and th© Balary
for one year of a former soldier,
who will care for the installation.
'M'ise Hewitt has established; 1.3
poultry farms since Easter and she
intends to ^continue until France is
once more 'rechickenized' and he*
comes the poultry-raising country It
was before the war. Ten cents
seems a small investment toward
helping Franca to feed her civilians
and her army, and incidentally, our
Army. It is one way of helping
France to help America."
The weather being propitious, the
attendance up to the reports so
far nn.t other thijiu» being equal
there will De no issue of the Alas
kan. on Tuesday next as the Office
force wish to do their bit in help
ing out the Red Cross. It is hoped
that the business houses will close
on tnat day thus allowing their em
ployees to enjoy a day's outing
which is rare enough In Skagway.
It is rumored tnat the White Pass
offices will allow as marny of their
force to go as can De spared.
A number of soldiers and wives
ox soldiers from Ft. Seward were
sight seeing today, stopping over
while the Peterson made the round
trip to the Post.
The Prince George of the G. T. P.

ternoon, arriving In Skagway at 7
a. m. Friday the 9th, and sailing
south at 6 p. m. Saturday.
John Clekak has been transferred! ]
