crossbred Yaks to Feed Alaskans

Crossbred Yaks to Feed Aiaskans.
No breed of dairy or beef cattle
has as yet been found hardy enough
to stand the winters in the interior
of Alaska without excessive expense
for food and protection against cold.
AS result milk sells for so cents a
quart and the beef that is consumed
in the country consists almost wholly
of cold storage meat brought from the
outside. The journal of Heredity says
that the Alaska Experiment station
has undertaken to relieve this situa-
ton by crossing the hardy Scotch
. Galloway cattle with the yak, an Asiat-
ic OK much used by Mongolians, Tibet
ans, ETC., for milk and meat as well
as work.

from under the snow Crosses of the
yak with domestic cattle are common
in Asia and highly successful.

THE proposal of the city coun-

between Pacific and Seventh to
the railroads for their exclusive
use should meet with the approx
al of the abuttinp property own

of the street is already taken up
with railroad tracks and there is
but very little team or automo-
bile travel on the street west of
Pacific. The new arrangement
would provide trsckage facilities
for some very desirable ware
house sites and would add to,
rather than detract from the val

It is evident that Front street

there will be largely of whole
