Wastes, Andy Bahr Reaches Edmonton. (The writer of this dispatch, the first to interview Andy Bahr on his return to civilization after completing an unprecedented drive of reindeer jrom Western Alaska to Northwestern Canada, is the author of “I Cover the Water= front” and other books.) BY MAX MILLER. EDMONTON, Alberta, April 3 (N.AN.A).—For the first time in al- most six years, Andy Bahr is walking around on paved streets, and at night is trying not to count reindeer in his sle=n. ‘The little man, who on the Christ- mas of 1929 departed into the wilder- ness from the west coast of Alaska with 3,000 reindeer and who this| month managed to deliver 2,370 of theam to the starving Eskimos of Northwest Canada, arrived here to- day in a snow-coated plane from the rim of the Arctic Ocean. | The storms which for five years had | pursued him and his herd along the | Arctic wild lands seemed reluctant to | see him go, and so grounded his plane | time after time in its effort to bring him back to civilization. Tgnores Weather. “Bless me.” he said, on stepping out of the plane to a snow-coated field. | ““Bless me, but this is a big city.” The | fact that the temperature was about | 30 above at the time received no com- ment from him whatsoever. Also, & | stff northwester was holding the hangar-sock out at a stiff right angle. Yet, no.wonder that polite conversa- tion ahout the weather failed to hold | his interest, since, during one Winter of his drive, the Arctic rim had un- | | dergone its severest weather in 17 years, according to Canadian authori- | | ties. Bahr's face was frozen during this ordeal. Not {frost-bitten, but frozen. So were all the fingers on his left hand. These were the days when even some | of his Eskimo help had been obliged to turn back on him and Tun back to cover, and these were the perpetual Arctic nights when 50 and 60 below | was a matter of course and when Andy | tramped the gloomy wilderness in triple pants 2,000 Pairs of Boots. His luggage consists almost ex- clusively of one huge canvas bag.| | filled for the most part with wornout | | mukluks, Eskimo boots. and he dumped | them all out on the floor in his warm hotel room. “Good-by to you and to you and to you,” he said to the mukluks, which were, for the most part, in a bad | shape from rocks and ice. | “My boys and I went through at { least 2,000 of these while chasing those deer. And, by 2,000 pair, I mean 2,000 pair.” Dan Crowley. the American field | superintendent for the Lomen Rein- | deer Corp., which sold the deer, came into town with Bahr. Crowley also |is a little dazed in being back in a | | warm room again, as he has been up staking a trail from | frozen island to frozen island across | | the hundred-mile stretch of ice com- prising the MacKenzie Delta. He shared in the last frenzied dash to get the deer across, a job requiring three days and two nights. Both men do not mind at all, then, taking a breather here in town. But| |they do wish people would not stare | | at them so. Bahr’s blue Lapp eyes are | 50 filled with crow’s-feet from squint- | ing than an accordion could be made | of them. But he refrains from scowl- ing, even when told for the first time that his $60,000 property in Seattle | has been lost by mortgages during his | absence. While delivering riches to | others he completely lost his own. Glad He Saved Life. | “Why should I mind?” he said. having lost my life while up there.| ‘When asked if he intended to re- | turn North, he smiled a bit and said: | “Well, not until after supper, any- w." He arrived still dressed in deerskins, | of course, but clothing stores here were providing for him, even though the day was Sunday. During those five years he had mended his own >lothes mostly, using reindeer sinews for thread. But the skins are so worn now that they have the appear- ance of a mangy dog. About the first thing he did after | dumping his sack of mukluks on the | carpet was to climb into the bathtub, and there he remained almost an | hour, trying to soak the Arctic off of | him. He has been warned that, on reaching Seattle, a big dinner is to be given for him and Crowley. But when told that reindeer meai was to | be served the guests as a novelty, he | merely smiled that strange little Lapp smile again over a thin goatee. Short-Legged Driver. “If you think Andy looks short naw,” Crowley said, “you should see him when he has three pairs of pants on and three parkis, and running after a deer. He does not seem to be running at all, but rolling. But maybe | that's his secret for getting so far in a day. He rolls instead of runs.” And for a fact, one can well be- lieve it, as Bahr's legs are short al- | most to the point of astonishment. | On entering the hotel, and all bot- tled up in his reindeer skins, Bahr immediately searched for a place to get away from staring eyes. He had | quite forgotten all about such items as elevators, so started up the stairs. | Crowley says he would just as soon | never see a reindeer again, but Bahr is of a different mind. “I've been with reindeer all my life,” Bahr said, “so a few more will not hurt me.” And for a fact, he was born in the open on a reindeer range 61 years ago. This was in Lap- land, his parents having been reindeer | people also. Retains U. S. Citizenship. He was brought to the United | States in 1898 to heip care for the | reindeer imported from Northern | Norway at that time as food for the | hard-smitten miners of the Yukon. | On his journey through Seattle at that time, he slept in the city's park | with his deer, L “But even if my money from deer is all lost,” he said, “I've still got my American citizenship.” It was acquired about 10 years ago. But most of the other Lapps who came over with him at the time have returned to their native homes, and some of them with fortunes equiva- lent to the one he lost by investing it in two apartment houses. “But if I ever get any money after this,” he said, “it will go into reindeer, you bet. Every man to his own busi- ness, I guess.” (Copyright. Ne Tin Output Jumps. Tin plate production in Germany ! broke all records h* year, North American 1035, wspaper Alliance. Inc.)
