' ; , ' EDMONTON. ’ T., J. Howard, manager of the Dominion Reindeer Company of. Vancouver, stated recently in Edmonton that his firm will this summer move their immense reindeer herd from their range in Alaska to feeding grounds in Canada on the shores of Hudson Bay. Over 30 years ago the herd owned by the Dominion Reindeer Company consisted of 1280 reindeer. This small herd has increased to its present total of 11,600 animals. Mr.’ Howard estimated about 18 months would be required to move the immense herd overland across the Barren lands and oil to the shores of the Hudson Bay. He stated that it was expected the natural increase of the herd in tho' next ten years would bring the number, to approximately 100,000. Permission has been received by the com*' pany to establish the herd on Canadian soil. In the markets of the United States each adult reindeer is valued at about £6/10/-.
