An airplane reconnaissance of
wild animals in Mount McKinley
National park in Alaska has dis
closed that the estimate of 15.000
■mountain sheep is much less than
the actual number, since great
herds were found at points hen
j tofore unexplored, according to a
! statement Nov. 19 by the Depart
• ment of Interior. The statement
j follows in full text.
Great herds of mountain, or
Dali, sheep hide in the fastnesses
in Mount McKinley National Park
never yet penetrated by man, ac
cording to ’ word just received at
the National Park Service of the
Deparment of Interior
During the last Summer a rec
onnaisance of the park's wild ani
mals was made by means of the
new airplane service operating in
the region, covering places never
before seen by man. This disclosed
that the former estimate of 15,
GOO mountain sheep was far be* '
low the actual numbers.
The wild animals of the park .
generally have shown good in- 1
crease during the past year, in the
Spring and Fall the number of '
caribou in the park is about 50
000. During the Winter months |
possibly three fourths of these
move south to p region whore there
is an abundance of reindeer moss.
A number of ptarmigan are now
seen in the park after an absence
; of nearly four years.
O"' vhrm. which furnish excel
! lent fishing in the smaller streams
I of the park during the Summer
1 months escape to the deepest ri~
I vers outside during the time of
i-epwv freezing. This variety
I is found only in clear streams,
.e-nm® of which are so smnP as to
1 hnrdlv have sufficient water to
; cover the fish.
Trout of a v^rio*"" unl-mo^m h1

] section of the park, between the
McKinley and Clearwater Rivers,
i At Wonder Lake, outside of the
j north boundary of the park, these
j fish grow to a large size, some
j times weighing as much as 35
i pounds.

SAKS FISH SPECIALIST
r“t”i
I
| George A Rounsefell. investiga
tor for the U. S. bureau of fish
eries, has definitely established the
I fact to his own satisfaction, at
least, that Alaska herring are not
lall alike, says the Chronicle He
has found that different species
inhabit various regions of the Al
aska coast, and has shown that
these clans of fish do but little mi
grating or traveling.
The catch of Alaska herring has
averaged about 160 (100.000 oounds
a year during the oast four sea
sons. The bureau of fisheries has
been concerned lest this uoheired
drain deplete the many : schools.
;RoimsfeH was detailed to the prob
lem and he found that, if fishing
becomes severe in one locality there
is grave danger of decimating the
breeding stock for the reason that
herring do not seem to move
around much, so that outside fish
do not come in to fill the places of
those that have been caught.
“This data collected shows a
steadily declining abundance of
herring in the Central Alaska re
gion,” he says, “and protection
should be aforded to the two and
Three year old fish because they
grow very rapidly during this per
iod and reach maturity the follow
ing year.”

TOWARDS SUCCESS
JUST ADRIFT— OR A STEADY PULL?
THERE is a certain school of thought which
says, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomor
row we die”. But when the hapless morrow
comes, the insouciant philosopher, money
spent, rather wishes he had been a little less
“merry” and a little more saving.
The hand-to-mouth life is mere drifting. It
is only consistent saving that pulls you to
ward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars”
by opening an account with us.
