REINDEER FAIR PROVED
DREAT NATIVE ATTRACTION
The Reindeer Fair held at Mary’s
Igloo by the Bureau of Education
was an interesting and very|4mpori
ant event. It attracted delegates
from various sections of the Penin
sula, the northernmost being the
delegation from Buckland headed by
Thomas Sequeena, a native of some
substance, who has a herd of his
own numbering fifteen hundred, and
who is a most remarkable man in
every way. The Industrial Worker
is indebted to Dr. Neuman for most
of the particulars concerning this
great event among the natives.
The delegates were housed ana
fed by the government, approximate
ly a reindeer a day being slaughter
ed to provide meat for the party,
and they came from Nome, Wales,
Teller Shismareef, Lane river. Buck
land, Douglas and the Igloo.
The delegates were housed in a
huge circus tent and it was in this
that the delegates recited the story
of the trip with Lopp, Jarvis ana
Bertholdt to Barrow in the early
days with deer. Most remarkable
oratorical aptitude was shown by
the delegates especially Sequeena on
this subject. The speeches having a
historical value were taken down
when translated by the interpreter.
One of the most important con
ests was the lassoing contest in
which there were sixteen entries.
This was won by a Shismareef na
tive who lassoed five deer in the
given time. The contest took place
in a large valley, the feat consist,
ing in throwing the lariat arounu
the deer's hind leg.
A show harness contest was di
vided into three classes. Lapp Style,
won by a Shismareef native, the
Single Tree style won by an Igloo
native and the new style won also
by a Shismareef native. A wild deer
race broken since September was
won by Eddie Soogayok, five miles,
time: 19:38.
Various forms of halters was also
the subject of a competition. O'.a
Style won by a Lane river native.
New Style won by a Nome native.
A two deer racs of five miles,
driven team fashion, was won by a
native named Koppok, time: 14:5b.
Koppok is an Igloo native The
decorated harness contest was by
Thomas Sequeena with an exquisite
design made of ptarmigan feathers.
The decorated collar contest was
won by the Nome deor. The har
nessing, hitching and driving con
test was by a Wales competitor,
time: one minute and twenty-five
seconds. The ten mile race with two
deer was won by an Igloo native.
BLISS TOOL STRIKE.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 27.—-It is stat
ed that if the machinists and work
ers strike in the Bliss tool plant
continues, the Bliss company will be
unable to fill their war contracts.
It was stated that they tiad boon
able to keep their plant going with
strike breakers but the closing down
of four shops today shows that this
is not the case. The largest three
shops and a smaller one are now
closed with the doors locked and the
.
machinery idle. It is stated that the
strike may be settled and a com
'mitteo of business men is trying tj
get all together for that purpose.
The situation seems more favorable
today than Bince the strike started.

pull. One deer hauling 2209 lbs

A sled lashing contest whereir
the load is placed on sled, coverei
j with tarpaulin and made snow proof
also created great interest. Tin
I “'load” consisted of one large box
I one stove, one sleeping bag, ont
stove, one clothes bag, rifle, an<i
snowshoes. The sled after being con
(pletely lashed was then rolled ovei
i and over in the snow and if an\
j snow entered the competitor wa;
disbarred. This was won by a Nome
native in one minute and seven se
conds.
Prizes were also awarded to the
best bread makers, snow shoing
race, long and accurate throwing of
lariat, best sleeping bag, tow line,
snow shoes, women’s race with one
deer, best racing sled hard wood,
flat sled hardwood, birch wood sled,
snow shoe race leading deer, best
banners, cloth pennants, reindeer
pennants, etc.,
Some difficulty was experienced In
getting wood for the stoves in the
big pow wow tent, until the offici
als bethought of a skilful plan
wherein they offered a prize for the
natives cutting and chopping into
stove lengths a number of trees
marked by them. They got all the
wood they wanted in short order.
Mr. Shields had full charge of the
Fair. He was presented with a
beautiful carved tusk with reindere
by the Wales natives. Dr. Neuman^
made an examination of the dele*
gates and found all men generally
of superb physical build and pro^
portions.
The visitors from Nome had a
somewhat stormy experience and
were obliged to remain several days
after its conclusion snow bound at
various stations.
One of the most interesting ani
mal at the fair was a domestic cross
between reindeer and carbou. The
animal was very gontle and could
be ridden by anyone and had a great
liking to be petted.
