AX OLI) STEAMBOAT MAN
WILL SPEND WINTER HEBE
After running up to Skagway and
o'her Alaska ports 28 years, haying
come to Dyea in "86, since which
time he h:is been pilot ard master
oa the Yukon river, operating any
where from the City by the Rapids
to St Michael from '98, Capt. E.
D. Ralston has settled down In
SkagAvay, and lias rented a home on
Ninth avenue, between Broadway
and State.
Ralston's career in tho north has
been oue of the most interesting
• rom a navigator's point of view,
that it has been our good fortune
to meet. Before "gold was even
dreamed of in the world-famed Klon
dike, he was master of the old
■s hooner "Charlie" running, whan
the wind and tide were fair, between
Ketchikan, Juneau and Dyea. He
h-o- ot\ more Piints,
hays and fishing stations than any
other man iu the North. In '87
he ran his boat up into the Skagway
flats, and had to await .high tide to
get off. Ves, he know* all about
the run.
Tho call of the East took tbe cap
tain from the north from '88 to
'95, but the lure of the North wa9
too strong, and he came back. He
located in Circle City, where he
tried to make a living as a land
lubber, but nix, he had to have the
water, so back to his first love he
went, but this time it was not the
briny deep, but the bars, rapids
and skoals of the mighty Yukon
which claimed hla attention, Since
that time ho has seen the miner
come and go, some with well filled
pokes, while others had only the
memory of "what might have been*
had kind fate shown them the prec
ious yellow metal.
About twenty years ago, tiring of
ble«6ed singleness, he took unto
himself a first mate, and since that
time, according to his own words,
she is the captain, crew, and all itha
rest of the officerB on the matri
monial sea.
For the next few weeks. Captain
Ralston, with Mrs. Ralston, will take
an outing at Tenakee springs, where
they will hunt and fish, after which
they will return to Skagway and
spend the balance of the winter,
waiting for the ice to go out in the
spring, when he will again 6tand his
tri, k at the wheel and become one
of the army or navigators on the
Y ukon.

P. H. GANTY, GROCER
REINDEER BOUGHT
BY NORTHERN MEN
Jafat Liudsberg, president of the
Pioneer Mining company; Dr. J. H.
Mustard, a physician, and O. J. Lo
men, an attorney, both of Nome,
ha*a acquired & herd of 1,300 rain
deer and that observant attitude
that has come to be known as a
"policy of watchful waiting." Their
watchful waiting la directed specifi
cally towards the beef trust. They
are waiting for the monopolists to
start to aeroplane the price* of
porterhouse steak until it attains
an altltud* far beyond the reach of
everybody but chorus girls and Pittw
burgh millionaires. When that dread
day arrives, the Nomeites will go
into the trust-busting business on
a sc ile so magnificent that the puny
efforts of the tenters of the demo
cratic party will be but a mere cir
cumstance by comparison. Inci
dentally they expect to reduce the
com of high living.
The 1,300 deer are (Traxing on a
peninsula about 500 miles north of
Nome, near the Selewlk river, -where
they are watched by a white man
and a band of Eskimos. The door
will not be killed, except scch as
are not needed for breeding pur
pose®, and as the number of the
animals double every two and a half
yeats, the pastoral lots expect the
herd to become as populous as a
Texas cattle ranch within a few
years. • ;j -S
The herd was purchased from
N'els Nlllma, one of the first Lap
lund reindeer herders to arrive In
the North. For his services to the
government several yea-re ago, he
was given a few animals without
restrictions as to their sale. Un
der th« law reindeer herders are
not allowed to sell female reindeer
to white men—deer raising being al
most exclusive Eskimo iauu»t., _
but Nlllma's contract was made be
fore this law went into effect.
Practically all of the natives <n
Western and Northwestern Alaska
have gone int# the reindeer busi
ness. It is one of the few things
which the government has done for
their Russian wards. So successful
has the business become that the
natives have been elevated from
the blubber-eating to the pastoral
stage of existence. About 1,200
reindeer were brought Into Alaska
about fifteen years ago and they
now number about 42,000. Doub
ling their number every two and
a half years. after the surplus
males have been killed for food, it
will not be long before the north
ern reindeer becomee an important
factor in the affairs of the meat In
terests of the United States.
Reindeer meat has a flavor that
Is a croas between beef and mutton
and-it has all the succuloncy and
Juiciness of both. To the northward
of the Yukon, and In many of the
valleys of Southwestern Alaska,
there are mlUlcn* of acre* of tun
dra that is oovered with reindeer
moss, which makes ideal grating
grounds. The percentage of loss
In reindeer fs much less than In cat
tle, and on.# herder -with a few
dogs can cats for a fcerd of 1,000
deer.
No shipments with the exception
of & few surplus males, will
made by the Nomente* for at least
three years.—3. J. Underwood In
