C, April 6.— A Reindeer Council of five mem- bers to administrate the Alaskan industry will be established in the immediate future according to the final report of Secretary Wilbur's committee made public today. Secretary Wilbur has instructed Gov. George A. Parks that the recommendations will be placed in effect forthwith. Couneil Members The Council is composed of the Governor; Chief of the Alaska Di- vision, Indian Office; Superintend- ent of Reindeer in Alaska; an Es- kimo representative, and a Lomen representative. The Council is to formulate range rules and develop a market and fair prices to the Natives, and ap- point paid Superintendents for each of the five principal ranges, also order an early round-up of rein- deer throughout the Seward Pen- insula. Urges Withdrawal The report urged the Lomen rein- deer be withdrawn from the Teller district and part of the Buckland Range to avoid a conflict of inter- ests. The report also demanded that all mavericks be marked by property owners in the first round- up. The Wilbur committee held that the future of the reindeer indus- try depended largely upon range supintendents. Secretary Wilbur has sent to Gov. Parks supplemental recommenda- tions. Sawyer’s Suggestions Ernest Walker Sawyer asked that at least two Eskimos instead of one, be on the Council for the first year, each with half a vote, and they are to be chosen by the na- tives from the Teller and Buckland districts. The committee said carelessness of natives in marking their animals led to “unfortunate” conditions and further said “prompt action that) will avoid serious results is now adequate for the supervision and fostering of a friendly spirit among all and to bring order and pros- perity to this interesting and valu- able industry.” —er . i TODAY'S STOCK | | QUOTATIONS i L) .
