"I*US" INEW MEAT
FINER GRAINED BEEF,
CROSS BUFFALO, YAK
ALASKA YAK AND CARIBOU, BY
ALL REASONING, SHOULD
PRODUCE TENDER STEAK
WAINWRIGHT, Alta., Aug. 17 (£>)—
The new breed of live stock called
“Yakalos” is being developed in the
national park at Wainwrighfe by cros
sing buffalos with yaks.
“Yakalos” combine the meat produc
ing qualities of the yak with the forag
ing characteristics of the buffalo,
said G. B. Rtfthwell, direptor of the
animal husbandry division of the de
partment of agriculture. The new an
imals breed true to type, he said, and
have proved more adaptable than
“cattalo,” evolved several years ago
by crossing buffalo with domestic cat
tle. Cattalos are sterile.
The meat of Yakalos is described as
almost identical with beef, aside from
being finer grained. The animals are
hardy, can forage for themselves, are
capable of wintering in the open, and
are resistant to many of the common
diseases of domestic cattle.

t >
reversed a previous decision confer
I
ring the name of Tuliummit Point on
the south point of entrance to Chig- j
nik Bay, on the southeast coast of

Prinsep Peak is the name adopted
for a -mountain marking an angle on
the international boundary between
Alaska and British Columbia, seven
miles northeast of Klehini River. It
is named for Dr. T. G. Prinsep, a
surveyor with the Canadian section
of the boundary survey.
AFTER 100 YERR SEARCH
UN ALASKA, Aug. 16 (/P)—More
than 100 years ago a small white
flower, declared to grow only on this
island of the Aleutian group, was
found near here. During the last cen
tury botanists vainly searched for it.
This summer the second specimen
was obtained here by Prof. George
Haley of St. Ignatius College, San
Francisco.
The bloom was first reported by a
Frenchman w-ho accompanied a party
known as the Kotzebue expedition to
this island in 1815-19. Five other par
ties came to hunt for it and left emp
ty handed.
THIRTY-FIVE WHILES
Thirty-five whales were caught in
12 days recently by the Port Hobron
whalers, Seward reports state, which
is considered a remarkably good
catch. It is indicated, however, that
the company plans to handle many
more within the coming few weeks.
Construction work still continues
which, when completed, will place the
Hobron station among the larges|t
whaling plants in the -jrorld.

ter, Miss Jrma Kadic, are round trip
vacationers from Chicago on the Ad
