VAST HERDS IN THE NORTH Practically a Permanent Supply of Beef Assured by Domestication of the Xnlmal, According to Vllhjalmur Stefansson. Washington. Having nlrendy done remarkably well In reindeer farming In Alaska, Uncle Snm Is to ho asked now to try his baud with musk oxen, to the end Unit the national meat hill may bo cut down nm! a permanent supply of beef ensured. Explorer Vllhjalmur Stefansson brought back 'from the arctics n story of great pos sibilities In tho way of meat produc tion, lie told this story to members of the Canadian parliament In Ottn wn, and hns also laid his facts and conclusions before some of the Wash ington officials. Roth governments will be asked for appropriations to ex tend the reindeer Industry and to at tempt the domestication of tho musk ox. As Stefansson sees It, there nre at least a million square miles of natur al grazing ground In tho sub-nretlcs, suited In every particular to the needs and tnstcs of tho northern cnrlhou nnd the still more northern musk ox. Vast herds of these nnlmals, In tho wild roam over the so-called "barren lands." Why not tnke them under protection, turn their feeding ranges Into ranches and abattoirs and ship the meat to the hungry folks down south? The territory is Canadian, but the hunger nnd high cost of liv ing nro International; therefore, let tho two countries' co-operate In a Bcheme of conservation. Reindeer Meat Liked. Alaska and Labrador have proved thnt tho reindeer enn bo domesticated Into u public meat producer. Deer meat has been shipped from Nome nnd other Alnskan points to Senttle, Minneapolis, Chicago nnd even to New York, nnd people who have bought It have asked for more. Stef ansson now suggests that the business be tnken up seriously, Its herding and ranching extended to the great prairies of the Canadian North, and the supply of ment to tho whole con tinent begun on n renlly commercial basis. Hut he ventures still farther nnd urges a slmllnr experiment with the musk oxen. Now, the music ox, being a peculiar ly nrctlc animal, hns never before fig ured In tho American schemo of mar PIG, NOT BRITISH COLONEL - .Italy's Chamber Gets Laugh Over Story of Mistaken Identity of "Drowned Personage." Rome. In tho general debnto on the reply to tho king's speech. Count Frolu, who, although the cx-mnyor of fTurln, belongs to tho socialist group, denounced severnl nbuses In tho army. He declnred that while during the war the front trenches had not suf ficient automobiles to transport the pounded to hospitals, thcro were plenty of automobiles to transport of--fleers 'to theaters fln neighboring towns. When In Albania, Frola said, his Vcnerul had a pig farm from which he sent dally suckling pigs In auto mobiles, accompanied by an officer, o Santa Quarnntn, from which port the pigs were shipped on a transport to friends of the general In Italy. A dally telegram was sent from Santa Qaaranta to tbo general announcing HiKi! rtj' - u - A - JVvtvvVTM'' - keting. In Its own country, however. It Is greatly valued fr Its meat's sake, and explorers who have eaten musk ox roasts up there sny It U a pity that tho Eskimos should hnve a monopoly of so good n diet. The meat Is hnrdly distinguishable In taste, It seems, from regulation beef, nnd In nutritive value Is quite Its equal. There Is wool to he considered, too. The nverage sized musk ox carries 15 pounds of Just-us-good-us-shoep's wool, which It wears as a thick cold-proof vest under n shnggy hair topcoat. In fact, tho musk ox Is pretty nearly ns much sheep as cnttle. It Is two and one-half or three times the size of n sheep, running nbout 700 pounds, nnd Is In thnt same proportion n more prolific source of raw mnterlal for stilts nnd socks. Thick-set, with mnsslvo head and short legs, tho musk ox looks clumsy, but Is surprisingly nimble on Its feet. It travels usunlly In herds of 25 or 30, nnd Its feed Is grass, saxifrage plants nnd dwarf willows. Stefansson points out, ns an nrgument In favor of his subpolar ranching scheme, that the musk ox needs neither to be housed nor fed, being quite nblo to AN INDIAN'S - Face on Cedar Log Mute Evi dence of Affection. Proof of Truth of Romantic Story Found by Hunters After Many Years of Searching. Manistee, Mich. On an old cednr log In the village of Copemlsh Is mute evidence of nn Indian brnve's great love for bis squaw. The unspoken ex pression Is In tho form of it carved fnco of an Indian maiden, tho circum stances 'around which tell of a love as devoted as In any modern love story. Albert T. Sanders and his two brothers, John and Henry, nro ama teur hunters and trappers. Years ago they went to tho upper peninsula and enmped' on Ford river. They met nn Indian, John, then ono hundred and four years old, but active as a school boy. John told the following story: There was a young bravo who took his squaw from Marquetto and enmo to Ford rUer to trap. Ho was very much In love. He wns a good pad dler, but ho couldn't keep his eyes off his squnw. The ennoe rushed Into some brush near ttfioro and capsized. Tho brnvo escaped, but tho squaw did not come up. Tho young brnvo wouldn't go nwuy. Duy after day he tho arrival of the pigs, which were designated as "personnges." Once n pig was drowned, Froln continued, nnd tho telegram to the general read "personage drowned." Unfortunntely an English colonel wns duo to arrive, so the general lie llcved the victim to bi tho colonel nnd ordered nn Inquiry Into the drowning which lnsted in days.

Tho habltnt of this zoological non descript, which gives beef ns tender ns n prlzo steer's, milk ns rich ns Jersey crenm nnd wool ns good ns sheep's, Is tho very "top country" of America. The herds never come fnrther south than halfway down the coast of Hudson bny, nnd they do not go west of tho Mnckcnzlo river. . On the north they ronm along the nrctte mainland coust nnd on the Islands be yond. There does not seem to bo any good renson, however, why the musk ox could not be kept successfully within the nonrer bounds of tho "bur ron lands." or In Alaska, where trans portation facilities would bo more easily possible. Nearly enough like tho musk ox to be n dlslnnt cousin, the woodlnnd buf falo Is another denizen of the North that may some day be made the base of n now meat supply. His habits nre somewhnt tho same as those of tho arctic ox, but the country that ho In habits Is an nren of wooded land nt the extreme north of Albertn, west of Slave river. Through the forests of this region ronm small buffalo herds, whose total numbers probably do not exceed KOO head. They nre tho only survivors In n nntural state of the rountless bison that once covered tho western plains.
