of the coming meeting Mr. Polet
said:
Outlines Plan
“We will consider plans for a
program to support the depart
ment of the interior in furthering
and developing the reindeer in
dustry in the Territory, believing
the economy of Northwest Alaska
is interlocked with the systematic
development of that great indus
try which has been so rudely des
troyed by former policies.
“It is believed that if whole
hearted support is forthcoming,
results easily can be obtained with
cooperation of Washington. At
present there are large numbers

of reindeer in isolated sections,
such as Nunivak island and other
outlying localities, reduced to pro
tect grazing areas, which should
be used to create herds which can
be greatly increased by individual
herd and control—which will
raise the aggregate of animals and
return the industry to its former
status, when it boasted more than
a million reindeer. The propos
als will be discussed fully and
action probably taken aiming at
the results so much desired.
Fur Farming Plan
Mr. Polet is ardent in his be
lief that opportunities for trapping
and fur farming in the Second
Division can be made extra at
tractive, and with the aid to
_. _ _. . i
which war veterans are entitled
through various bovernment agen
cies, many of those who were in
the service will find permanent
and profitable occupations in the
area.
“There are several departments
in Washington which can cooper
ate with us in our program,” said
Mr. Polet, “and we hope to de
vise a plan which will be accept
able and workable. If we can
bring the reindeer and fur indus
tries up to the maximum in the
Northwestern Alaska, not only the
natives and war veterans, but the
whole of the Territory will share
the benefits and many will be
provided the livlihood and com
fort to which they are entitled.”
