Aug 10th 21

of Nome, Alaska who holds the biggest
judical position in that county and
is known to every Alaskan. h He
is Lindeberg's (one of the big financiers of
that country) attorney and sees to a
wonderful future in the reindeer industry.
I feel quite confident in saying that
as formerly the great fortunes were made
from minerals, railways, + the exploration
of what land so in the future the
reindeer meat industry is the big thing.
Cattle ranching is rapidly becoming
unprofitable in the states + provences that
were meant for wheat. The reindeer stay
out winter + summer without shed or shelter
procures its own food. Two herders can handle
herd of 10,000. Stefansson has lease [??] of
Baffin's Land for 50 years. He himself
is primarily an explorer and is not out
for money but there is lots there.

Expect to hear from me end
of September. Will send two similar letters
one father one you in case one is lost.

Love to all
Allan.
