YAK FOR ALASKA
Waaliiuf^on, Aug. 9—The govern

yak with Galloway cattle, 'in Al
aska. This was recommended by
Prof. C. 0. G^orgeson, in • charge
of the government experiment sta
tions In Alaska, and has just
been renewed.'
The government believes, as Prof.
Georgeson has recommended, that
the cross between a yak and a
Galloway would produce an animal
hardy enough 'to withstand the ri
gors of the coldest weather in
Alaska, and would become valuable
in the development of the country. |

Chas. G. Ganty 'of Valdez, was
eloctod territorial secretary of
the socialist party of Alaska at the
