NOME REINDEER PROMOTER
PUT INDUSTRY ON FEET
Carl Lomen returned to Nome re
cently from 'the East, where he spent
the winter in the interest of the
Reindeer industry of Alaska and re
ports very favorable results from his
visit to New York and other eastern
cities. Mr. Lomen’s trip says the
Nome Nugget will serve to boost
the Reindeer industry in the States
to the highest degree as well as ac
quain the outside public with lots
of true facts concerning Alaska.
Mr. Lomen reports an organi
zation has been formed in New York
known as the Lomen Reindeer &
Trading Corporation. Among the
Eastern directors are: Mr. H. B.
Walmsley. well known Eastern at
torney who was formerly associated
with Joseph Choate an attorney
for she Dupont Powder Works;
Edwin J. Clapp. Financial Editor of
the New York American and Archi
bald B. Roosevelt, who needs no
introduction to the public.
Mr. Lomen states that his propo
sition at first met with many ob
stacles which took both time and pa
tience to overcome. Owing to the
face that many people on the out
side did not have any idea what the
domesticated Reindeer was, every
detail had to be gone over carefully.
Some of the people approached on
the subject of the Reindeer indus
try never had any idea that -.he
Reindeer could be domesticated
They were under the impression
that during the winter months a
herd of Reindeer came down from
the hills and a number were shot
down by employees of the reindeer
industry and the meat shipped out
side, when they were informed of
the reindeer being kept together in
herds the year around they were
immediately imeres:ed and -the re
sults that Mr. Lomen obtained are
proof of this fact.
Mr. Lomen states that Reindeer
meat is being served at all the
leading Cafes and Restaurants in
New York. The Ritz Carlet-on, the
Waldorf Astoria, and many others
of such prominence serve the Rein
deer meat now. An overflow ship
ment of Reindeer meat was shipped
out on the steamer Victoria this
spring, this being the remainder of
a shipment that could not be sent
out last fall. The Company ex
pects to have six thousand Reindeer
ready for shipment ;o outside mar
kets between now and the first of
January. Mr. Lomen states “This
is a known industry, the pioneer
work of introducing the reindeer
meat into the States is over; the
future of the industry is assured.”
He also states that he has been able
to line up meat sales contracts on
the outside. All the eastern ship
ments will be made by the Panama
Canal to New York, as that is the
largest market in the States for the
product. The placing of reindeer on
the market in the States is not in
competition with other meats but
will serve to overcome the shortage
of meats of other variety.
The following is a paragraph of
an obstacle broadcasted by Mr. Lo
men by radio while in the States.
The domesticated reindeer of Alas
ka is not native to America, but was
imported from Siberia by our Fed
eral Government. The reason for
their importation was to make of
the Eskimo, who are wards of the
Government, a self supporting peo
ple. The total importation into Al
aska was 1,280 animals, brought over
during the decade 1892 to 1902.
By 1905 the herds in Alaska num
bered some 10.000 reindeer and to
day are estimated at 260,000 ani
mals. In addition more than 125,000
have been butchered for food and
clothing.
M. W. Diedrick, proprietor of the
Alaska Beverage Company, manufac
turers of all kinds of fruit punches,
sodas, ginger ale, syrups near beer
and distilled water, came down from
Fairbanks today to visit with his
Nenana customers and to introduce
several of his newest products. He
will return to- the upper town this
afternoon.
STEAMSHIP STARR TAKING

The good ship Starr will carry a

Katmai River valley and thru the '
pass, in to the Valley of the Smokes 1
where they will make permanent
camp, from which point the party
will enjoy the wonders of the tem
blor-swept region.
The party is under the personl di
rection of L. G. Folsom, of Los An- j
gelos. Mr. Folsom was principal of
the Kodiak Schools between 1913 J
and 1919, and accompanied the
National Geographic Society expedi
tion into the region and has been all
over the ground.
The members of the party are

Seward on the Starr before breaking
up, several journeying to the In
terior.
Mrs. L. O. Erickson and daughter,
Elizabeth, will visit throughout the
interior while Mr. Erickson and son
make the western (trip.
Mrs. R. J. Sommers left for Nome
Saturday evening after a visit of
several weeks in Xenana as the
guest of her sister Mrs. A. B. Phil
lips. She is making the trip down
the Yukon on the Government
