1 REINDEER MARY
ARE B* r”
Mary,' reindeer queen of the Far
Northwest, whose wealth has been
estimated in the hundreds of thous
ands of dollars, has caught the spend
ing fever and is now getting rid of
much of her money. She is becoming
■* extravagant, as are her white sisters
in the states.
How is she squandering her money?
Diamonds?
'*■ No, not diamonds.
Fine gowrns, expensive furs, Orient
al rugs?
Nothing in that line at all.
Then she must be buying automo
biles, or maybe she has become a dog
fancier?
Not at all. Just children! All her
reindeers and her growing cash ac
count mean but one thing to “Rein
deer” Mary—children, more children,
all of them adopted children!
MARRIED REINDEER HERDER
When but a young Indian maiden,
and extremely pretty Mary married
a reindeer herder whose name was
Charles Autisarlock. He had been
given a herd by the government, be
cause government officials realized
the value of the reindeer as a beast
of burden. It has been only in re
cent years that the government recog
nized the value of the reindeer as a
source of food supply. The great
jjWestem plains are gradually being
cut up into small ranches and, it is
said, the beef supply of America will
grow less eacn ye<u.
Alaskan reindeer meat, according
to government officials, will soon find
its way to the tables of thousands of
American homes. Reindeer meat is
similar both to venison and heef. It
has the wild flavor of venison, how
ever. The reindeer ranges in Alaska
are virtually unlimited and the rein
deer herds are yearly growing larger,
4 pay the government officials.
Autisarlock proved faithful to his
trust. His original reindeer herd grew
phenomenally, and shortly before his
death the Indian was called the
Reindeer King of the North. To Mary,
following her husband’s death, came
the responsibility of the herd. Under
her management it continued to grow
until now it is the greatest in the
world and Mary is the Queen of the
• Reindeer industry.
Wealth and health were hers, but
Mary was not happy. She longed for
children.
She adopted her first baby many
years ago and then found happiness.
Mary heard of a tiny Indian papoose
whose father and mother were both
dead.
“I’ll be its father and mother both,”
she said. “Bring it to me.”
TAKES ORPHAN BABIES
And so the first baby came into the
home of Mary. Since that time, to
this day, when Mary hears of an
orphan Indian baby, she lays first
claim to it.
"Bring them to me; I have plenty,”
she is reported to have said. And so
they have been bringing the orphans
to Mary for years. No one seems to
know definitely just how many chil
dren Mary now has. All of them are
legally adopted and will share in the
profits of the greatest reindeer herd
in the world.
Mary is supremely nappy. »ne s
spending her wealth on clothes for
homeless babes, upon the education
of her many adopted children and
for all their clamoring wants.
News has been received recently at
the Seattle office of the U. S. Bureau
of Education, Medical and Reindeer
Service, that Mary’s home was de
stroyed by fire. The house represent
ed considerable money, but the money
less didnt bother the reindeer queen.
SORROWS FOR PHOTOGRAPH
“Her chief sorroy was the loss of
a photograph, the only one she had
of an adopted baby boy who bad
died,” said J. C. Helwig of the Seattle
office. “Undoubtedly she would have
t0ven twice the value of the house to
save the picture. If there ever was
a natural born mother ia the world
it is Mary.”
There are now 150,000 reindeer in
Alaska. Of these, Mary owns a big
percentage. “Thousands and thous
ands of them” is the way government
officials speak of her holdings.
Each fall the shipment of reindeer
meat to Seattle grows in volume.
Next fall the greatest shipment ever
made will be sent to that port
Seattleites and people throughout the
country will be paying 25 cents a
pound for the food. One big reindeer
weighs 500 pounds, and as Mary has
“thousands and thousands of them,”
the chances are she’ll continue to
spend her money—on children, and
then more children.
