Reindeer Herd Now
Near French Joe’s
The big herd of reindeer is at pres
ent* camped three miles from French
Joe’s place, according to Frank-.-Lange,
who arrived here yesterday direct
from the camp. New grazing ground
is now being sought for the herd, it
being the intention to drive the, herd
across the South Fork, where it is
hoped good feeding grounds may be
ocated. As soon as a suitable location
s met with, owing to the approaching
fawning season, a new camp will be
3stabUshed and tne herd given a mucb
:ieeded rest.
Mr. Mozee, in cLargeof the big herd,
•and Miss Float who is traveling with
her own herd of deer, accompanied by
>vo of the herders, will, after the
awning camp is established, proceed
> ihe Broad Pass section, in going
over which route other suitable feeding
ground will i>e located for the summer
drive.
On approaching Peluk a mistake was
made in crossing the .South Fork near
that jKiint, wherd burnt timber was
encountered, it being necessary to
drive back to the main trail. Three
deer were lost on t he first day from
Salmon, alter which perhaps a dozen
more were lost, according to Mr.
Lange.
Mr. Lunge will return to the rein
deer camp within the next couple of
lays, taking with him about 1100
touinds of supplies for the herders

Freig ht Rates to Alaska j
| Highest on Globe, Says !
Delegate Sutherland
* ————. i ■
Th,e following telegram, relative to
freight, rates from Seattle to Nenana
and Fairbanks, but dealing particularly
with the water haul, was received by 1
the Nenana Commercial Club from
Delegate Sutherland
“The Pacific and Alaska Steamship
companies are demanding for water
haul share- on threugh freights to In- j
terior Alaska $15 to Seward and $17 to
Anchorage, the entire rate on groceries
being $42 to Nenana and Fairbanks.
This is a holdup for the highest war-!
time and present rates, despite the fact'
that their wage scale has been greatly
reduced, also cost of fuel oil and alt
commodities that enter- inter repairs,
supplies and alteration expenses. In
addition thereto, they have eacli re
ceived about $60,000 its mail subsidy,
which is about $50,000 sn excess of
what they have been receiving eaeh
year.
“i suggest that the merchants and
miners of Fairbanks and Nenana pool ,
| their freight shipments and ask for.
j bids front independent boats* San Fran-’
i oisco, Portland or Seattle to Seward. I
! Steam schooners are carrying freight!
from California to Puget Sound for!
pe: ton. and- I believe they would
carry your freight for about half what
the Seattle-Alaska companies are usk
| itigr. The ttn>e .to destroy the Alaska
freight monopoly is when the railroad
: is teadv to carry freight, and 1 believe
that the possible saving on freight:
i rates warrants a strenuous light. ;
Alaska is Lhe only spot on the globe to |
which ocean freight rates have not]
been reduced since the war Will do'
anything in tny power at this end.
