LONG-HAlRED HORSES

An experiment in the raising of horses is now being made in the Yukon territory about 175 miles west of Whitehorse. Ow- ing to the abundance of fine lands avail able for pasturage in Alaska and Yukon should the experiment meet with success the raising of horses will become an enor- nous industry in these regions After the horses have lived for some time in these localities their hair grows longer, as a method of nature to protect them from the cold. Horses have even been seen with crop of hair as thick and long as that of the buffalo Twenty-Five brood mares were imported from Vancouver about a year ago and placed on the experiment ranch on Duke river All these animals have gotten through the winter well. Some horses brought from the Oregon ranges to do transportation work in 1911 included several mares, which foaled last spring, and their colts all lived and were harder ami mals than their ancestors. It is believed that when the horses are native to the re- gions their added hardihood will greatly in crease their availability for transportation purposes.

LAND REGULATIONS

The following information comes from the general land office, and may be of interest to those contemplating land en- tries:
 The regulations approved January 13, 1904 (32 L D. 424), pursuant to the re qurements of the act of May II, 1898 (30 Stat 400), as amended by the act of March 3, 1903 (32 Stat. 102Sl, provided that "no entry of any kind in the district of Alaska can, however, be allowed for land extend ing more than one hundred and sixty rods elong the short of any navigable water, which is twice the extent originally per mitted by the act of 1S9S and along such shore space of at least eighty rods is re served between all claims"
 In administering said acts in accordance with such regulations and the instructions herein contained To survey will be ap- proved and no application, selection, filing or location will be allowed under any law for such reserved areas other than for land ings CT wharves, as provided in section 10 of the aforesaid act of May l4 1868.
 The reservation between claims along navigabe waters is absolute, except as to landings and wharves, and precludes all forms of appropriation under any law, but the inhibition in the reservation between claims along "other waters" applies only to scrip land warrants and soldiers addl- tional claims.
 In order to carry into effect the will of congress respecting the limitation of claims along the shore line and the reservation of 80 rods between all such claims it is di- rected that where any claim is so located as to approach within eighty rods of the actual shore line, such claim will be con sidered as located on the shore for that purpose.
 The term ''navigable waters" is con strued by the act of May A. 1898, supra, "to include all tidal waters up to the line of ordinary high tide and all non tidal waters navgable in fact up to the line of ordinary high tide mark
 The limitation along the shore line IS, however, extended by the act of March 3, 1903, supra, to "along any navigable or other waters" It becomes necessary, therefore, to define what is included in the expression "other waters" In the opinion of ths department those words should be held to include all waters of sufficient mag nitude to require meandering under the manual of surveys, or which are used as a passageway or for spawning purposes by salmon or other seagoing fish
