Unlimited possibilities and opportunities arc to be found in the /'relic regions, was ih* message given the students of the summer scluol at the University of Washington by Viljahlmtir Stefansson, the explorer, who has made the closest study of conditions, and whose observations have been the most practical e\er given the world on this subject. Stefansson decried the action of others in picturing life within the Arctic Ciicle as one fraught with hardships and sufferings. He comnared the prairies of the Arctic with those of the Dakotas, vast plains \her<! one could find the gra es and flora that are supposed to thrive only in »he temperate climes.

The securing of reindeer cows from the Laplanders, who were brought to Alaska to teach the care and herding of the deer to he natives by the whites, will result in scientific herding, and an immense yearly increase may be expected .from now on. “The United States Government in their original contracts to supply the natives n. Alaska made the sale or transfer of any female animal to a whits person prohibitory, but failed to in licate the like clause in their cortracts with the Laol .Jers, with j the consequence that the whites, who saw tlie commercial advantages in the raising of reindeer, seized upon the opportunity to secure their cows from tlie Laps. Now a company which ' been formed in Nome for this purpose has four immense herds, which are doubling in size practically cverv two years. Inside of the next ten yea =, if careful breeding is followed, there will be at least S.OOn.OQO of the animals grazing upon th$ tund'-as of Alaska, which is about tne limit that can he properly taken care of there. There are only 100,non "qtiare miles in Alaska suitable the grazing of reindeer, but the northern part of Canada has a million square miles, and no doubt steps will be taken to introduce reindeer in this area.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH FLEET A PROBLEM
By WINTHROP L. MARVIN, Author of “The American Merchant Marine; Ita History and Romance." Washington, D. C.—The farmers of this country at present are shipowners on a large scale. They own shares in a corporation that controls 2,200 great merchant steamers built since the war began. Most of these farmer-owners have never seen the ships In which they own a share, and a good many of them have never seen the ocean. They are tied to an enterprise that somebody else runs for them. But they are footing the bilN, along with the manufacturers, the workmen, the merchants and the miners of the country, and these bills are likely to prove staggering unless some way Is found promptly to make the most effective use or disposal of these 2,200 vessels. This Is the substance of a situation that has arisen us a result of the government’s emergency shipbuilding activities in the war. The suffering world cried for ships, and the American people heard their cry, and built the ships Money was poured into the shiphuild Ing program. Yards were created where none existed before. Armies of workmen were Irained in the trade of shipbuilders. An enormous output was attained. Suddenly the war came to

Do yon know that thfre are a million and a half farms In the Philippines and that 9<1 per cent, of these fanns are owned hy Filipinos, In other words, that out of the 11,000,(XH) Christian Filipinos, 8,000,(XX) of them at least live on their own farms, with houses of their own, independent of any absentee landlord or foreign master? That 9t per cent, of the urhati property consisting of houses and lands is owned by tlie natives of the Philippines, and only 9 tier rent. Is In thie hands of foreigner*? Yet these are farts cabled by Acting Governor Oharleg Emmett Yeater to the War Department from the risent census estimates.
