men who are anxiously watching
war clouds in north China. Since

A HON HUNT
WOLF ISLAND. Missouri, Jan.
21, (A5)—Lion trailers are no more
to be trusted than horse traders,
it seems. Denver M. Wright, St.
Louis novelty manufacturer brought
two lions guaranteed to be jung
le bred, and hard boiled African
cats to a party here. He invited
some friends to his home on the
island for a hunt, but when the
lions were turned loose yesterday
they crashed thru the barbed wire
runway intended to guide them in
to the brush, and then played
around on the sand, roaring their
appreciation at being given liberty.
Despite the fact they refuse to
act like lions, Wright said he
won’t shoot them until they do.
The sheriff who said he would
put a stop to the hunt, failed to
appear.

LOMEN REINDEER DRIVE
NEAR COMPLETION

OTTAWA, Canaan, January 20,
tiP;—Thomas G. Murphy, Miniate/
of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, re
ports that telegraphic advices have
'been received from Aklavik to the
effect that the reindeer being driven
into Canhda by the Lomen Rein
deer Corporation have now reach
I ed a point oppoeite Herschtell Is
land, and that ail is well with the
herd and the personnel of the
drive. lie expects delivery to be
made at Kittigazuitt Peninsula
within a few months
After completing negotiations
with the Lomen Reindeer Corpor
ation for the introduction of rein
deer into the Northwest Territor
ies, the Canadian Government im
ported from Norway a number of
Lapps* experienced in tire handling
of reindeer. The government also
stationed Mr. A. E. Porsild at
Kittigazuitt to erect proper build
ings, corrals, etc. for future rein
i deer headquarters.
, This fall the Minister of the In
terior Instructed Mr. Porsild and
several of the Lapps to proceed
westward to contact the reindeer
drive and assist the Alaskans on
the last lap of their journey. On
December 4 the party from Klttft
gazultt joined the reindeer drive
at the west end of Icy Reef. Mr.
Andrew Bahr, In charge, of the
drive, declined their assistance hut
consented that they remain with
the drive. The news of his action
was indeed pleasing to the Cana
dian government as well as to
those Interested in the Lomen
Reindeer Corporation, as it was.
assurance of Mr. Bahr's confidence
in. his ability to make delivery
with his present organization.
•%...M*v~iPorsild reports that feeding*
conditions for the deer, from their
present .location to Kittiga/uitt.
are very gppd. He anticipates no
difficulty in driving the herd
acVoSs the. Mackenzie River delta,
as lie has found sufficient feed ou
the islands there to sustain the
deer while crossing. No catilfou
have bean seen in th i section to
disturb th§ deer, and snow condi

as everything promises well for
successful completion of the en
terprise. _j___——
N>w t the Id) Mikvtrtk is
nearug Its close, H is interesting
to consider the motives which
prompted the Canadian'’ govern
ment to undertake the Introduc
tion of reindeer into the North
west Territories. These reasons
are set forth by Director Op S.
Finnie of the Canadian, Depart
ment of the Interior in one of his
earlier reports.
Game animals of the For North
are more or less migratory, and
the Elsklino. before the white man
came into the country, migrated
with the animals on which ,h» de
pended for a living. At certain
times of the year he hunted seal
on the ice far from the coast; in
the spring. when .the fiah came to’
the rivers to spawn, he abandoned
the seal hunt and came to the
rivers to put up fiah; and in the
fall when the caribou migrated
south he followed them inland
until sealing again became profit
able on the ice.
During the last fifteen or twen
ty years, due to the demand for
fur and the consequent high prices
a chain of trading posts have
