ject with officials of the Food Ad- !

profitable season for the Alaska

Senator Robert B. Howell is
particularly interested in the rais
ing of yak in Alaska and is
anxious that money be appropriat
ed to extend the work that was
first started 10 years ago at the
U. S. Experiment station.
★
The present herd of yak is in
the vicinity of Healy, on the Alas
ka Railroad. It consists of four
pure bred animals and eight yak
Galloway hybrids. Dr. H. W. Al
berts, Director of the Experiment
Stations in Alaska, writes that ob
servation on the behavior of the
yak indicates that they are hard
ier than our beef animals. He also
states that a yak cow was slaught
ered about a year ago and that
the meat was so similar to meat
that it was difficult to note any
difference.
★
Officials in Alaska have suggest
ed that Section 2474 of the Com
piled Laws of Alaska, relating to
the duties of Commissioners as ex
officio Coroners in the calling of
Inquests, be amended slightly to I
widen the scope of their authority,
w’ords. In addition to the present
authority to call an inquest an
amendment is asked for by the
addition of the following words:
“or has been found dead either
in a room or in the open and has
met an accidental death.” The ad
viseability of this amendment was
submitted to the Attorney General
and he decides that there is no
necessity for the proposed amend
ment, which would be mandatory
even in cases where there was ob
viously no reason to believe that
the deceased had met his, or her,
death by violence or that any
criminality was involved. It is al-j
so suggested htat the statute is I
already broad enough to cover any |
existing needs, while the proposed
change would undoubtedly throw
upon the Federal government an
abligation of burying the bodies |
of deceased persons whos deaths
were not due to any suspicion of
criminality.
