REINDEER NOTES
As Supt. Johnson can not be here
as early as the first vreek in January
the Shaktoolik Fair has been post
poned for some time i:i Feb. Watch
the N. I,, for the new date.
Mr. Lopp, Chief of the Alaska Bu
reau of Education, accompanied by
Snpts. Shields and Johnson made our
village a very pleasant visit last week.
Mr. Shield’s trip was a pleasure trip
only; Mr. Lopp and Mr. Johnson
were here in the interest of the
schools and reindeer work. They had
much to say in praise of our gardens.
Mr. Johnson was particularly interet
ed in our celery.
Co isi lerable interest is being taken
i 1 the co ning fair. We anticipate
a good attendance ar.da grand time.
As to who will have the best sled,
harness,and well trained deer is now
a problem, but in a short time hieatli
the Spruce of Shaktoolik the blue
ribbon will tell the tale.
vSapt. Shields is very enthusiastic
regarding the reindeer future. He is,
perhaps, better versed in
reindeer driving than any other
white man in Alaska.
Simon Sngoonik has been engaged
to accompany Mr. Johnson this win
ter. Reindeer will he used in all their
voyages.
Without doubt the Reindeer Fair
inaugurated by Mr. Ropp is one of
the best, if not the very best plans of
broadening and deepening the Rein
deer Industry.
