Indications point to a rapid approachment of a sit
uation wherein Washington, or the chief of the Bureau
of Education, will be called upon to decide the ultimate
destiny of the native reindeer owners of Alaska. Upon
the position taken by the Bureau will hinge the success
or failure of the reindeer industry as fostered by the
Federal "government as a means of livelihood for the
natives of the Arctic and sub-arctic.
Regardless of the present controversy in which
the Lomen Company has been charged with many things
of which we will take no stock until proven beyond any
doubt, Colonel Ohlson, general manager of the Alaska
Railroad is maturing his year-old plans calling for driv
ing herds to pasturage and feeding grounds near the
railroad, then, later, slaughtered and the meat shipped
to the markets of the world.
There seems to be ample reindeer and plenty of
pasturage; without question the more reindeer meat sup
plied the open market the larger will be the demand and,
In turn, more business for those concerned.
It would appear that King Solomon and not Henry
Ford originated the mass production idea.
Mexico should always elect a big man as president,
so as to have a better target.
An expert has made the clever suggestion that the
surplus of farm products may be reduced by raising
!ess stuff.
It should be a rule of the disarmament conference
that all warship blue-prints be placed on the table.
Proof Established
Seward Tropical Zone
A peculiar variation in temper
j ature was noted here the other
j day when Pilot Frank Dorbandt
i endeavored to fly to Anchorage
but was compelled to return to
the local field owing to weather
i conditions. While aloft, at the
| altitude of 11,000 feet, Dorbandt
and Cope began to get warm un
I der the collar and were not sur
prised when taking a glance at
I one of the many gauges and
j“doohickies” on the dash-board,
j to note the temperature had risen
i to 57 above zero.
And below them, a few thousand
I feet, wintry blasts of wind were
howling thru Seward and snow
falling by the bucketfull.
It was said that February Ls
j generally the only month of the
! year when earth temperatures
; and that of higher altitudes are
about the same.
Monday night comes the big
St- Patrick’s Day Ball and on the
following evening. “On Vacation”
the imported comedy from An
chorage. What more could any
one ask?
Mrs. Corliss, wife of the local
employe of the Standard Oil
Company headquarter staff, plans
leaving on the S- S. Alaska, for
[ Tacoma. During her absence Mrs.
Ogle will take over her duties at
Gordon’s.
On Monday night’s train the
, cast for “On Vacation” showing
at the Liberty theatre Tuesday
night, will arrive from Anchorage.
