THE ALASKA YAK

What is this yak Senator Howell has fallen hard for? Listen my children and you shall hear.
 Experiments in crossing the yak of Tibet with the Galloway cattle at the experiment. station near Falr banks during the last severol years have produced al hardy animal that preserves most of the good qualities of both breeds.
 This cross the galoyak, may do for Alaska in time even more than the reindeer has done could do.
 The yak is native of the high plateaus and valleys of Central Asia, 12O00 feet and more above level It forages for itself all winter dried grasses and lives in the open in the codest weather of those high regions.
 The valleys of central Alaska have climate and grass feed where the yak thrives better than it's native habitat environments.
 Its meat is equal to the best beef. It gives good supply of rich milk Its coat of hair is really wool from four to six inches long The natives of Central Asia the yak wool for weaving cloth and blankets, use the wool of sheep.
 The yak is also valuable a beast of burden. The Asiatcs work it to blows and wagons, it pack animal and get all service in general from it that get from cattle and horses together.
 The yak, galoyak, can find congenal home in central Alaska, where day it may roam the ranges in droves of thousands as reindeer do today It should be source of profit in many ways
 After the outburst on the lowly yak what could be sweeter in old age than to have yak in the family The yak could feed us haul about keep supplied in clothing, do all the work for us, and-guess had better these suggestions will have another Alaska bureau to deal with the Gallo-yak Bureau
 Out Westward trappers send word that poor catches hopes the Alaska Game Commission will lift the beaver ruling, declaring an open season on the animal. And that at time of the year when trappers may reasonable limit.

when lone bandit walked into the
Office and drew gun.
Hand over your cash or I'll blow you
apart, the gunman threatened.
Forced Across Street.
Montgomery, with $50 tucked into a
trousers pocket, calmly informed the
gunman that the days receipts had
been locked in the safe and that only
the station manager knew the combi-
nation. The bandit accepted the youths
story, but made him precede him across
the street to a Standard Oil Co. station
as precautionary measure against his
calling police.
w street southeast, on duty at the
Standard station, was forced to turn
over $40 to the gunman, who left with
the warning that if they dared move
within five minutes his pals will NOW
you down with machine guns"
short time later detectives were
called to the Arcade filling station,
Fourth and I streets northeast, where
two armed men held UP Manager
Thomas Guy of 10 F street and took
$50 from the cash register while four
customers waited for service in their
cars outside. The two men had left the
station tand fed through nearby alley.

FIGHT IS EXPECTED
ON TAX|CAB RULING
Court Action Anticipated on
Ban of Cars From + and
G Streets.

The Commissioners recent order
banning taxicabs from F and G streets
between Ninth and Fifteenth streets
will undoubtedly be strongly resisted in
courts when 1t is sought to put it into
effect after 10 days of advertising.
judging from the protests which have
already been made. The Commissioners
adopted the neg regulation yesterday,
but 1t must be advertised for 10 days,
according to the law, before it can be-
come effective.
Harry G. Davis, representing the Dia-
mond Taxicab Co., operating about $50
cabs. in q written statement today de-
nounced the regulation as "unreason-
able, discriminatory, illegal and con-
f1scatory." Mr.. Davis pointed out that
the taxicabs are required to pay a
license specifically for the privilege of
using the streets and that after this
license is paid the privilege is taken
away from them and left In the hands
of private vehicles.
He said that the cabs operated by
his organization pay approximately
$38, 500 per annum in gasoline tax, $4,-
240 personal property tax and $4,770
for the hacking licenses for the drivers
and that he thought the cab drivers
had some rights on the streets as well
as the private vehicles.
William NICK. Clayton, representing
the City Cab, Stop-Me and Sun Taxi
cab Companies, said that q test case
would be made of the regulation as
soon as it becomes effective to deter
mine whether the Commissioners have
the power they are seeking to exercise

ALLEY BILL HALTED
BY BUDGET BUREAU
AS NOT OPPORTUNE
Development of Property Is
Provided After Purchase
or Condemnation.
PLAN THOUGHT AGAINST
PROGRAM OF PRESIDENT
Commissioner Believe Project Is
Meritorious but Impossible
in Financial Status.

The Bureau of the Budget has turned
thumbs down on the National Capital
Park and Planning Commissions alley
closing bill, 1t was learned today when
the District Commissioners submitted
to Congress q report on the bill inclos-
ing the report of the Budget Bureau;
The bill provided that alley property,
selected by the Commissioners, should
be condemned or bought by the United
states Housing Corporation, and allowed
development by the Housing Corpora
ton is many ways designed to rid the
city of its inhabited alleys. It was pro-
posed to get an immediate start on the
project by utilizing the 100000 surplus
to the credit of the Housing Corpora
ton since the days of the World War,
and to appropriate q revolving fund OF
$500, 900 per annum from the funds OF
the Federal Government, which would
be reimbursable, at least in part, from
profits made by the Housing Corpora
ton In dealing with property acquired.
The Budget Bureau, which was asked
for q report on the proposed bill by the
District Commissioners, replied that 1t
was mot in accord with the financial
program of the President" This report
the Commissioners today transmitted to
Congress, adding on their own behalf:
Inc COMMISSIONERS uCAICfC 1AA0S bA-C
object of this bill is meritorious. and
there is necessity for correcting the ale
ley conditions in the District Of Column
bia in order to provide better SANTA
ton and to improve the appearance OF
the city. At the present time the
finances Of the District Of Columbia
are not such as to permit the cost OF
accomplishing this result to be charge
able against the revenues Of the District
Of Columbia.
"As the President indicated by the let
Ger of the director of the Bureau Of the
Budget, herewith, the financial arrange
ment proposed In this bill. which con-
templates the use during the fiscal year
ending June, 1892, Of not in excess OF
$500 900 from the corporate funds Of
the United States Housing Corporation
and an authorization for each fiscal
year following Of 100000 from funds
Of the United States. Is not In accord
with his financial program. it would
seem that, while this bill has much
merit, IL might be inopportune to enact
the legislation at the present session

ASSESSMENT PLAN
IS GIVEN APPROVAL
Borland Law Substitute Provides
Partial Refunds for Property
Owners.

The new street paving assessment
plan urged by the Commissioners to re-
place the Borland law will be reported
10 the Senate today or tomorrow. having
been approved by the District Commit
tee yesterday afternoon.
The committee included the amend
ment to cancel all assessments made
for paving during the last three years
and reassess under the system laid
down in the pending bill. District
ofdcials say this will result in lower
assessments, with partial refunds to
those who have paid during the three
year period under the old Borland law.
The law now places half the cost Of a
street on abutting property, regard
less Of the shape or size Of individual
lots. The courts, in series Of deci-
sions, knocked out nearly all OF the
Law. The municipal authorities then
prepared this bill, which seeks to
depth Of the lot.
The bill says no assessment shall ex-
iced $3.50 per front foot; that the total
assessment shall not exceed the number
Of square feet In the property multiplied
by one-tenth Of per cent Of the front
foot assessment, and shall not exceed 20
per cent Of the value Of the land.
The committee adopted other amend
ments. reducing the rate Of interest on
deferred assessment payments from to
6 per cent, and o proviSo that II the
courts invalidate any part Of the new
law It shall not affect the rest of tf1e
measure.
Local citizens strenuously objected to
the bill at recent hearings, contending
that streets should be paved from the
general fund instead of by assessing
Abutting property. The committee took
the view that the assessment method
should continue.
The committee also fayorably reported
BIN providing that In the widening Of
Ptney Branch road between Butternut
street and the railroad tracks the addi-
ttonAl space should be taken from both
sides instead Of from one side of the
road

DEPARTED SQUIRRELS ARE BASIS.
OF DAMAGE CLAIM UPON DISTRICT
House Owner Spends $50 Cutting Way Into Attic to
Remove Dead Municipal Property.

Claims against the District for every
thing from refunds under the Borland
law to toe stubbed on a rough side
walk are common, but today one ar
rived at the District Building which
was enough to cause the oldest claims
experts to shake their heads.
This one had to do with the nefarious,
almost man-eating squirrels, who used
to race across the rafters of the home
of DR.. Edwin M. Hasbrouck, a Veterans
Bureau physician, now stationed in
Richmond, Va. In his claim, filed to-
day, DR.. Hasbrouck says that when his
family lived in this house. at 1909 Four
tenth street, the perambulating sQuir-
rels caused them annoyance, but moth
ing more. Then he left for Richmond
and let the house to tenauts.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-28

Time passed, and several of the elders
of the squirrel tribe chose the attic of
the house as their last resting place.
Still more time passed, and the tenants
become very uncomfortable. In fact, they
ceased occupying the third floor, and
DR.. Hasbrouck says he finally had to
pay a repair Arm $50 to cut its way
into the attic and remove the bodies
Of the two animals, which had reposed
undisturbed in their burial ground" for
q long, long time.
"Inasmuch," DIR. Hasbrouck's claim
concludes, "as the squirrels are nominal
ly the property of the District of Co
lumbia and / would not be allowed to
kill them of, 1t would seem proper for
the District TO recompense me for the
damage caused"
