The carideer is the new animal. His descendants
will help in the meat supply of the world. He is half

and not so wild as the caribou. With the union of the

—Three men, four girls were in

bridge, spannig Bear Creek just
north of here, slipped off its base
and plunged an automobile into
water 20 feet below. At Mercy
Hospital physicians said all
would probably recover.

9 Ajccount of government exper
ments on Nunivak Island was
brought to Seward from the Ber
ing Sea by W. B. Miller, of the U.
S. biological survey. Nunivak is a
large island out in the Bering Sea
between the mouths of Yukon and
the Kuskckwim. When the experi
ment started in 1925 there were
200 reindeer femalos and a few
caribou bucks- Now there are over
2.000 of the new earideers; a big
ger and better animal than either
of his progenitors, caribou or the
reindeer. It seems that the rein
deer strain takes’on weight from
the woodland caribou and the cari
bou strain is reduced in wildness
.-+51 ;V)A handled easily bv
men and'dcgs. The resulting meat
carries a fine flavor.
Miller is as si step' to L. J. Pal

Survey work in Alaska and has his

Albert Aukon and Billy Komakake
of Golovin, who are taking train

him. They came in on the SS
Sterr from the far Westward Sat

train for the Interior. Mr- Miller
said he was anxious to observe the

ings and ascertain their reactions
to their new habitat as it is very

Reindeer were first put on Nun
| ivak in 1910 and the experiments
; woodland caribou from Kokrines,
i began in 1925. Ten of the big
! woodland caribou fro mKokrines,
! north of the Yukon and not far
1 from the mouth of the Tanana
| were brought to Nunivak and in
! troduced to the 200 female rein
deer after the reindeer bucks had
been removed. Since the reindeer
and the caribou are of the same
species but of diferent genus, they
mated readily. The offspring, the
carideer is a fine healthy, upscand
j ing animal weighing 25 to 50
i pounds more than his half bro
; ther the reindeer. There are nov;
2,000 animals, nearly all reindeer,
on Nunivak and the work of dis
tributing the new breed among

! is going on with the cooperation

vey. The crossing appear? to be
an unqualified success and more
caribou are to be added for breed
ing purposes as fast as they can

I MAKES ARMISTICE DAY AD
DRESS TO GOOD WILL
CONGRESS
I WASHINGTON, Nov., 12, </P)—
■ Renewed appeal for adherence
by the United States to the
World court in friendly efforts
to maintain peace, was made by
President Hoover in his Armis
tice Day address before the an
nual conference and Good Will
congress.
Wo Ad alliance for interna
: tional friendship through the
fhmehes, was pointed cut by
i the President. He said the v:w
i ieus treaties could be worked
out fer settlement of difficulties
| among the nations.
‘Tn the development of metli
| ds for settlement great hope
lies in ever extending principles
of international law o;i which
settlements based on the world
i court now strongly established.
Permanence is assured and
from it there is a steadily grow
ing body of pree'd nt decisions
| and acceptance aw in the
formulation which we should
have a part, not only for our
I own interest, but for the ad
i vancement of peace.”
| He referred to his own pro
i posal making foodstuffs immune
on the high seas in event of war
I and said not only for humani
tian purpose but because it
would make nations depending
on over-seas food, less anxious to
build large navies.
The President said “the pur
j pose of our government is to
cooperate with others and use
friendly offices in an effort to
maintain peace.”
He added that in the adopt
ion of the London naval treaty
one of the major frictions among
great naval powers, competition
in naval construction, had been
eliminated.
