adds stability -to' any menu. - It
possesses all. of the qualities of

to purchase 171 head ot reindeer

Today, it is estimated that
a quarter of ,a jniliioft reindeer

Dr. Sheldon Jackson's Intention
In introducing Into 'Aiasjta these
reindeer, was ; that it might . help
improve : the living . condition ot
the Eskimos. . There is an aggre
gate .of, 2 Q 00 00 square miles of
territory in Alaska that is ideally
suited to reindeer,, pasturing, apd

for any other use. ; , Allowing ,32
acres for each animal, it , is estim
ated that there ,is enough grazing
land to. accomodate 5,000.000 ani
mals. It should, be remembered.
too, that this industry is the only
one which can .maintain a stable
population, in most ot this region
When' fully developed , this In
