STEFANSSON’S MEAT PLAN
Outside advices state that Stefans
son, the Arctic explorer, is planning
to have Canadian caribou or reindeer
shipped to the. markets of the central
part of the continent. He plans to get
the supply from the area north of
Edmonton.
The news may sound chimerical to
some. To those who know the North
and have observed or studied the
achievements in other regions the
Stofansson undertaking will appeal
as full of promise. The region from
Hudson bay to Bering strait tcefhs
with reindeer, and in places there are
thousands of the animals in single
herds. Yukon has her share of them.
The domesticated caribou or reindeer
of Lapland live on similar mosses,
and are of great commercial value in
northern Siberia, Lapland, Norway
and Alaska. Canada under intensi
fied systems of production will be
able to outstrip any records to date.
Possibly half of the landed area of
the Dominion is suitable for the in
The American government took up
the reindeer industry twenty years
ago systematically, and her experts
estimate thdt Alaska alone has graz
ing grounds sufficient to support ten
to twenty million head of stock of
the kind adaptable to the Arctic and
sub-Arctic realm. This estimate in
cludes the possibility of raising the
ordinay cattle and sheep, which now
already is done on some of the milder,
strips of tho Alaska coast.
Alaska already has somewhere be
tween 75,000 and 100,000 reindeer,
which make her natives wealthy and
independent. Many of their animals
are being sold in the Alaskan markets
for meat, and considerable shipments
have been sent south to Seattle and
other markets.
Lapland sends to market annually
22,000 reindeer out of her total herds
of 400,000 thus sustaining 26,000 peo
ple in comfort. It has been estimated
Alaska could be made to Increase her
reindeer herds to two mllliion, and
thus sustain 100,000 population. This
would be more than twice the poula
tion of Alaska today.
Yukon could he made equally pro
ductive with Alaska, Scandinavia or
Lapland, In proportion to area. Stef
ansson deserves much credit for hav
ing come forward with his meat pro
ject for Canada. Grenfell and others
have undertaken similar work on the
Atlantic side of the Dominion. Stef
ansson is attempting to exploit a
much wider and more hospitable and
promising portion of the Dominion’s
Arctic grazing rounds. Tho govern
ment should give him every encour
agement. He advocates the domesti
cation and the preservation of the
musk ox. He states that without
attention on these lines musk ox is
doomed to extinction.
Governor Riggs of Alaska has taken
up the suggestion of Stefansson, and
recomended the musk ox be intro
duced into Alaska. Yukon’s member
of parliament recommends the same
to the Dominion government. The
Yukon will do well to support this
movemnt. It is fortunate that a man
with the wide experience and fame of
Stefansson is back of this great and
promising movement to develop the
grazing lands of the North. He can
get a hearing from the masses. He is
breaking the trail for making the Arc
tic and sub-Arctic the one lasting and
permanent grazing land of the con
tinent. Let Yukon appreciate this and
do her utmost to take advantage of
the good work.—Dawson News.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
One by <me Wickersham’s support
ers are leaving him, recognizing that
so long as he is a power in territorial
politics we can hope for no progress.
—Valdez Prospector.
The Republictn party "in Alaska
should have started twenty years ago
to raise a “Moses.” If such an indi
vidual would arise out of the devil
clubs of the First division, sand flats
of the Third division, niggerheads of
the Fourth, or the tundra of the Sec
ond division about ninety-nine per
cent of the Republicans of Alaska
would fall down and worship. The Re
publican party in Alaska needs or
ganization, pep and honest intentions.
It needs party men who will support
the party and the party nominees. It
needs leaders who lead in stress of
weather as well as sunshine. It needs
—well they used to call it drum head
executions in war times.—Juneau Dis
patch.
Alaska is getting together in the
same old way on the transportation
question. One town wires that it is
just the thing and another wires that
it will kill the country. The legisla
tors can vote for or against the meas
ure and get in bad either way.—Doug
las News.

In Silk Attire the Flapper Goes
So fpr as clothes are concerned, the
enrth and the fullness thereof belong
to the flapper. A few years ago she
did not aspire to silks, or, if she did,
her longings were likely to go uncon
sidered. But silks have been coming
her way for several seasons, and the
war let down all barriers In its way.
This spring finds the younger girls
sure of new silk frocks, among them
many taffetas. Everyone, for that mat
ter, will wear taffeta—from morning to
night—nice negligees are made of it
ns well as afternoon and evening
frocks.
But silk is not the only privilege
which grown-ups are willing to share
with the younger folks. The tunic ap
pears on a few dresses for girls and is
very pretty for them when it is as clev
erly managed as it is in the frock
pictured above. Here it is slashed at
each side of the front, forming an
apron-tunic, with small, silk-covered
buttons, set in prim rows on it. Two
rows of these little buttons on the
simple bodice are rather oddly placed
at the sides of the neck opening,
where a white crepe de chine collar
shows a departure from the usual
neck finishing. The sleeves are plain,
with turned-back, flared cuffs, and the
skirt quite full and gathered into the
belt. Organdie at the neck, wit j #
narrow feather-stitched hem Is even
prettier than georgette for the collar.
A sash, ending in a knot and short
ends to the left side, is of striped
taffeta. This gives opportunity for
dashes of vivid color on the plain
blues, brown and greens that are cho
sen for these quaint and dressy little
frocks, and is just what they need to
give them life. Besides these taffetas
for daytime wear the flapper rejoices
in pnrty frocks simply made of taffeta
in light colors—pink, blue, maize and
pale green. Much pretty stitching em
bellishes them.
Hand Work Reappears.
We can look for all sorts of hand
work now on everything; indeed it is
safe to predict vhat trimming and
then more trimming of every sort,
braiding, stitching, embroidery, cro
cheting, every sort of fancy, even the
long-ago punch work—is- about to ap
pear again. One of the recently Im
ported French trotteur suits bearing
out this idea shows u fine stitching ot
white silk threads on a dark blue serge
and holding in place bands of black
patent leather.
