Mr. Hanley says the forwarding of cattle to Alaska it attended with many difficulties, and there is danger of lost from upsetting of barges or from the animals straying Into the deep woods alone the Yukon, and so beef is worth a good figure by/the time it is safely landed at Its destination. The stock has to be landed along the route frequently for the purpose of feeding, as the cattle have to live off the country they pats through. The woods are mostly of the dense order along the Yukon' In American territory. and once a steer gets out of sight he becomes wild and scampers off where there is no possibility of following him. Horses cannot be used in that region, and the men on guard at night have to depend on

their own fleetness of foot in heading

They are in good beef condition when

they leave the states, and much care is bestowed on them while en route In order that they may hold their own until they are received by the government's agents. Mr. Hanley does not think any part of Alaska will ever become a stockraising country, although much has been said In its favor by persons who are not conversant with the stockraising business.
