After he had brought over the 171 animals, the government ap- prop priated money for additional im- portation and the present abundance is due to the proliflcness of reindeer. The objects 0! the reindeer industry, as stated by Dr. Jackson, apply in part to northern Canada. “To convert the nomadic tribes of fishers and hunters in northwestern and central Alaska into raisers of reindeer, to change their occupation from the precarious pur- suits oi hunting wild animals and of taking fish from the waters of inland rivers to that of herders and teamsters; to elevate a people, who, in their wild. uncivilized state. are the prey of un- iscrupulous transient immigrants into a self-supporting race, not enemies, but friendly allies and auxiliaries of the whit..- man.” thesepeopleinazreatvarletyoiways.

Gordon Hewitt in his val- uable book on “The Conservation oi the Wild Life oi Canada." The first reindeer, numbering about 171 animals, were introduced into Alaska irom 8i- heria_in_1892; in 25 years there were Unfortunate Experiment As the expense of the Laplander herders could not be met they could. not be retained. The people of the Although a vast area of subarctic Canada aflords as suitable range f01 reindeer as the areas in northern Europe and Asia where they have been utilized by man for centuries. and 'although reindeer were introduced into Alaska in 1892, their first introduction into Canada was of comparatively re- cent date and under distressing cir- cumstances. Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell. the famous missionary of the Labrador coast. realized their value. and by means of public subscriptions and a. grant from the Canadian department of agriculture, purchased 300 reindeer from Norway and Lapland. They were transported to northern Newfoundland in 1907 and in a few years increased to 1.250, but owing to lack of support by the Newfoundland government, their subsequent history was a sad one. Canada's Conditions Similar As the reindeer is the only draft animal in Arctic regions that is able to secure its own food while on a journey the question of cheapness and speed should bring it into common use. The Eskimo is very well adapted to the work of herder or teamster and thus became an important agent in the development or Alaska. After the es- tablishment of this industry on a firm basis ,the United States government reduced appropriations. A number of reindeer com anies were formed and steps were ta en to place the industry on a scientific basis. Outside markets were secured for the meat and for the tanned skins, and reindeer meat was shipped to various centres in the United States. A serious menace in‘ Alaska. however. is the warble-fly which per- forates the hides. This insect also at- lects a large proportion of the native barren-ground caribou. in northern Canada. mm mm "OI ALASKA 1'0 AIC'I'IC CANADA available, buttheaeanimalswillhave tobedrivenonioottheentirediatance, about leiies feeding themselves astheymovealonsanditisestimated torequireabouttwoyears.
