OTTAWA, Bth December. One of the greatest treks of animals in Canadian history began in the Far North, where 3000 reindeer, purchased by the Dominion Government from a firm in Alaska, were started from Elephant Point on a fifteen hundred miles pilgrimage across to the Mackenzie River delta. They will not get there till early in the spring of 1931. The Government bought the herd for 195 - 000 dollars, and the contractors are attending to the delivery. The deer are designed to furnish food and clothing for the.natives of Canada's Farthest North.
