The board of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors have decid
ed that there will be no survey
cf Keku Straits, Alaska, as the
benefits would not be commen
surate with the large Federal
expenditure required to make
♦•his improvement. A prelim
inary report was favorable to the
extent of recommending a sur
vcw to determine the cost and
advisability af th° improvement.
But the Board has decided
against going further into the
matter.
Some cf the members of the
Congressional party that will in -
pect the Department of the 11 -
Prior projects in the wester .1

left Washington. They will sail

U. S. Senator Robei f B. Howell
is particularly interested in the
raising of Yak in Alaska and is
;anxious, that money be appro
priated to extend the work that
was first started ten years ag'..
at the U. S. Experiment station.
The present herd of Yak is in
I tne vicinity of Healy, on the Al
aska Railroad. It consists of
four pure bred animals and eight
; Yak-Galloway hybrids. Dr. H. W.
| Alberts, Director of the Experi

cnat observation on the behavior
of the Yak indicates that they
are hardier than our beef an- -

similar to beef that it was dif
