"In 20 years the reindeer industry
has made the Eskimo of Alankn
, civilized nnd thrifty men,” sn.vs the
United States bureau of education In
a bulletin Just Issued.
The reindeer industry began lr
Alaska In 1892 when the bureau of
education imported from Siberia 171
reindeer. The object of the Importa
tion, according to the bulletin, w-as to
furnish a sources of supply for food
and clothing to the Eskimos in the
vicinity of Bering strait. This im
portatlon was continued until 1902
and n total of 1,280 reindeer were
brought from Siberia. There are now
47,26fi reindeer distributed among (12
herds, nnd 30,532 of these are owned
by the natives.
This Industry has given to the
Alaskan Eskimo not only food nnd
clothing, but a means of transporta
tion superior to dog teams. Instead
of being nomadic hunters eking out
a precarious existence on the vast
retlmbered lands of the Arctic coast
region, “the Eskimos," according to
the bureau's bulletin, “now have as
sured support and opportunity to
acquire wealth by the sale of meat
and skins to the white men."
The reindeer industry is carefully
guarded. "No native Is permitted to
sell or otherwise dispose of a female
reindeer to any person other than a
native of Alaska.” This is done, the
bulletin states, “lest white men de
prive the natives of their reindeer
and destroy this great native Industry,
which the bureau of education bus in
the last 20 years built up and fos
tered.”
The reindeer service is an integral
part of the educational system of
the bureau of education for northern
and western Alaska. The district
superintendents of schools are also
superintendents of the reindeer ser
vice.
Promising and ambitious young
natives are selected by superintend
ents as apprentices in the reindeer
service, receiving six, eight or 10
reindeer at the close of the first,
second and third years respectively,
and 10 more at the close of the
fourth year. Upon the satisfactory
termination of his apprenticeship, the
native becomes a herder and assumet
entire charge of a herd.

BRUSSELS, June 8.—Even the
horrors of war cannot drown in the
soul of the Belgian peasant the joy
of witnessing a cock fight.- Promptly
with the advent of June the old-time
cock fights began again, but they had
to be ordered stopped.
The prohibition order, however,
has merely driven the cock fighters
into seclusion where they have to be
hunted out by the authorities. The
latter seek to stop the fights because
they invite gambling and rob the
farmers of money needed for other
things.
