HARDY NEW ANIMALS
There appears to be no lifnit to the ambitions of
scientists, and the amazing thing is that their ambitions
are generally fulfilled in actual results. An instance is
the development of a superior type of cow, able to with
stand the rigors of Interior Alaska which is considera
bly colder than these coastal regions.
Concerning this development, Dr. Evans of the De
partmest of Agriculture, recently gave an interesting
statement. Under the supervision of the department, ex
perimental crossing of Galloway cows with the "hardy
Asiatic yak, carried on now over a period of years, has
produced an animal capable of weathering all climates'
while preserving desirable meat and milk producing
qualities.
Another venture was the crossing of American cows
with the Brahman zebu of the Far East, which produc
ed an animal especially fitted to thrive in the hot, dry
climates of the Southwestern States. This animal is also
capable to resist tick infection which is very detrimental
to ordinary cattle in those regions.
All this may not be exactly evolution, but it is
something closely akin to it.
It is strange why a national organization such as
the American Game Association will make a statement
such as this: “The large Alaska brown bear, being the
most highly prized trophies, are facing extermination.”
Extermination my eye! Who in heck started that line?
In any case, wonder from whom the association procures
its misinformation?
Vacations are just as much a part of living as are
the days of work. Must we keep so busy day after day
doing the routine things that we cannot take time to
readjust our vision of life by shifting the viewpoint?
Since the purchase of Alaska from Prussia is 1867
for 87,200,000, the exports from Alaska have amounted
to considerably more than §1,250,000,000. Not bad for
a poor,little outcast!!
Each Senator costs the taxpayers §38,876 a year.
All above the §10,000 salary probably represents the
amusement tax.
At the rate of §2,000 per hunter for a five-weeks
big game forage in the Alaska wilds, there is little dan
ger of the big brownies ever being exterminated. Those
figures are from the Game Commission compiled years
ago, Also that 100 sportsmen from the States annually
come North. Judging from that statement there should
be no fear at all of extermination.
Alaska possesses an oil field which may prove to be
one of the greatest in the world. No question about it
at all! Watch Capt. Ivan L. Peterson's “smoke" in the
Chickaloon this season.
Officials on public payrolls whose salaries have not
been cut find it very hard to understand this talk about
a depression.
General Butler wants to be a Senator.- Probably so
that he can talk without limit and without responsibility.
Alaska contains one known vein of cannel coal 600
miles is length, 125 miles wide and of undetermined
depth. Ponder a bit on these stupendous figures.
Even the best boosting isn't enough to make a city.
