Where are they?
Can you tell right at this moment where to find your
bonds, stock certificates, insurance policies and other valu
able papers, often needed in a hurry? Perhaps they are
in your desk drawer—or they may be in your office safe
—or possibly lying carelessly around the house.
If your valuable papers are in any of these places there
is a risk of loss as well as uncertainty of quickly finding
them when needed. But if they are in one of our safety
deposit boxes you are aways certain of their location.
They are accessible to you instantly, and to you alone and
they are safe from fire, theft and carelessness.

DR. PALMER COMPLETED 4-YEAR
LOOKING INTO EXTENSION
OF REINDEER INDUSTRY
That the reindeer industry will
take its place among the important
activities of Alaska is the opinion
of Dr. J. L. Palmer, who arrived in
Juneau recently after devoting four
years t o scientific investigation
among the Alaska reindeer herds
and the possible fields for the ex
extension of reindeer raising. How
ever, it is Dr. Palmer’s opinion that
the industry has reached the limit
of its usefulness As carried on by
the Eskimos and the cooperating
Bureau of Education. Its expan
sion, he believes, must be through
while people and the utilization of
large capital. A beginning has been
made in this newer and promising
development by the Lomen Brothers
of Nome and the Wachter Brothers
wholesalers in meat.
There are now about 300,000 rein
deer in Alaska, said Dr. Palmer, and
their numbers are doubling every
three years after furnishing the Eski
mos with food and skins sufficient
for their needs.
The Lomen interests, with ample
Eastern capital, have established four
cold storage plants, at Nome, Teller,
Egavik and Golovin, of capacity for
2,000 carcasses each. Waechter
Brothers have a cold storage barge
at Teller. Both are shipping this
year, and the close of navigation
will see several thousand carcasses
sent to the Outside markets. Dr.
Palmer says there is a good market
for all the reindeer that can be
shipped out in good order.
Dr. Palmer says now the Bureau
of Education is seeking to extend
the industry. To that end there are
herds at Cantwell in the Broad
Pass country, owned jointly by the
Government and private interests
where there are 800 head, along the
Yukon from Kockrines, where Waech
ter Brothers have a herd, down to
the mouth of the river, along the
Kuskokwim at Iditarod, and at three
places on the Alaskan Peninsula and
the Aleutian Islands. In all those
places satisfactory results are being
obtained.
One of the things which it is
hoped will extend the industry is
the likelihood that lichen (reindeer
moss) is not a necessity in the rais
ing of reindeer. It is a mistaken
notion, said Dr. Palmer, that rein
deer eat only moss. The fact is
that the moss is a winter food which
keeps them alive during the months
when they cannot get grass and
outer food. They do not get fat
on the moss. They fatten and be
come fit for the market on the grass
they get in the summer time. It
has been demonstrated that they
can be fattened on hay and grain1
in the winter time without moss. j

out as It is expected, according to’
Dr. Palmer, it will greatly facilitate
the extension' of the fields in which
the reindeer may be profitably
raised. It will also remove the per
plexing problem of providing for the
renewal of the lichen pasturage fields
after they have been consumed. It
takes from fifteen to thirty years
for lichen tp regrow.
The Bureau of Education is now
cooperating with the Alaska Agri
cultural College and School of Mines
in experimenting with the expan
sion of the reindeer industry to the
Tanana Valley and the great interior
Alaska, said Dr. Palmer. “This is,”
he said, “because the further expan
sion of the reindeer industry must
be toward the Interior. The coast
country is fast being stocked to its
limit.”
“The Eskimos will soon he rein
deer poor,” continued Dr. Palmer,
“unless they can find an outlet
among the white people for their
increase. They already have all they
can use unless the white people can
provide a market for them.”
The Government is still planning
on experimenting in crossing the
reindeer with woodland caribou.
Where crossing has resulted from
caribou joining the reindeer herds
it has been found that the size of
the animals has been increased and
there is greater hardihood. However,
the experiments have not yet been
conducted under circumstances that
are wholly satisfactory. It is be
lieved that the size of the reindeer
can be increased from 50 to 100
per cent, by systematic crossing with
the caribou. At the present time
reindeer weigh about 150 pounds
when dressed for market, while
woodland caribou have been known
to weight 400 pounds under the same
circumstances.
The expansion of the reindeer in
dustry to the Interior of Alaska,
within safe driving distance to the
Government railroad, would give the
producers an all the year market,
and obviate the necessity to keep
the meat frozen throughout the win
ter. At the present time the rein
deer have to be killed in the fall
and put in cold storage immediately.
If they could be driven to the farms
in the vicinity of Fairbanks or the
Matanuska Valley and fed during the
winter, they could be killed as the
market might demand.
Dr. Palmer wTas sent to Nome in
1920 to investigate the reindeer in
dustry and culture. He has devoted
his whole time to the task assigned
him except for one trip out to Wash
ington, two years ago.
