• REINDEER MEAT
' CAN BE RAISED
AT BIG PROFIT
—.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 22 (by As
sociated Press).—New fortunes still
lie in the far North for adventurers
who will go into the Arctic sections
of Canada and Alaska and raise rein
deer for the outside world markets,
according to Vilhjalmur Stefanssoh,
Canadian Arctic explorer.
With the meat supply of the out
side world decreasing annually, some
day the bulk of the meat used in
Europe and America will be brought
down from tundra plains lying along
the northern edge of the world, the
explorer predicted here recently.
} “Reindeer carcasses can be landed
in Seattle at present at a total cost
of between $7.00 and $8.00 and bring
an average of about $30.00 each,
leaving a clear profit of about $22.00
for each animal,” Stefansson said.
At present a large amount of rein
deer meat from the Seward peninsula
section of northwestern Alaska is be
ing sold in Minnesota. The meat re
tails at a price a bit higher than
beef but it is expected to drop in
price as the supply increases.
Investigations are being made by
Stefansson for the Canadian govern
ment regarding the feasibility of
transplanting reindeer into north
eastern Canada for raising for out
side markets.
Over 1,000,000 acres of northern
Canada lie ready for the herds, Stef
ansson estimated. These lands are
rich with northern vegetation •which,
it is said, will support the animals
the year round, regardless of good or
bad w7eather conditions.
According to one scheme suggested
the reindeer would be brought across j
the Atlantic from Scandinavian coun- |
tries for the transplanting in north
eastern Canada. The northeastern;
* section wrould be selected because of
the fact that it is closer than other
parts of northern Canada to the mar
^ kets of Europe. It is said that it
costs more to transport reindeer meat
from northwestern Alaska to Seattle
than from northeastern Canada to
England.
Nome, Alaska, people who recently
formed a company to raise and ship '
reindeer have four large herds and ;
are considering taking an airplane j
north for use in herding the animals, j

VICTIMS ARE DRUGGED
AND THEN ROBBED
LONDON, July 25 (by mail).—
Criminals who rob their victims after
giving them drugged cigarettes are
attracting the attention of Scotland
Yard. In one instance a man in a
railway carriage was ^robbed after
he had smoked a cigarette given him
by a fellow passenger. A discharged
soldier was robbed of his money and
clothing and left naked by the road
side near a suburban village.
