Reindeer Ranches Proving Successful i Canadian Government Opti- mistic Over New Indus- try of the North By William Bleasdell Cameron Three thousand reindeer, the prop- erty of the Dominion Government are, at the present time, being pilot- ed across the 1,000-mile stretch that separates Western Alaska and the Mackenzie River delta, in Northern Canada. If all goes well the goal will be reached by the fall of 1931, and with it will end the first stage In the launching of an ambitious pro- ject. Will the venture succeed?

Immense herds of wild carlboi 1 that had arranged their sweeping expanses, coupled with the reports of explor- ] era as to th character and extent of the vegetation found upon them. The reindeer, as has been said, Is a close relative ot the caribou, and If the latter flourished there It was reasonable to conclude that the rein- deer would do likewise. These wild herds hav been photographed at I such close range that "wild" seems a misnomer, and many have seen pictures veritable forests of horus over a living sea. A recent Govern- ment report gives their number as having been estimated at 30,000,000. Warburton Pike, an early adventur- er upon the Barren Grounds, tells of standing for hours at a stretch with the caribou streaming past on either hand, so near that he was able to pick out those In primest condition Tor slaughter. This herd was six days in passing his camp, and he re- marks that ha could not believe the buffalo ou the plains 1n the period of their greatest abundance were more numerous than were the caribou at that day on the Barren Grounds. The cost of raising reindeer Is trifling, estimated at $1 per head. A handful of herders will look after a herd of several thousand, merely circling them at Intervals to prevent them from straying.
