PLAN TO VISIT MC KINLEY NATIONAL PARK
t _
It is gratifying to Alaskans to know that the Ivlt Me
Kinley Park Transportation Company, at its recent an
nual meeting in Fairbanks, reported a 30 per cent in
crease in visitors to the park last season and that the com
2>any contemplates a number of substantial improve-1
ments next season. Eventually, it was said, a fine big ho
tel will be built near Copper Mountain, 75 miles in the
park and a like structure at the park station itself.
Annually the road is being extended into the park;
being a game reserve wild animals abound everywhere,
and above all, majestic Mount McKinley, America’s laf
tiest peak, is a sight never to be forgotten.
Every resident of Alaska should make it a point and
plan to, on some future day, to take the trip up the Alas
ka Railroad to the park and partake of the hospitality of
the company which conducts fairly modern lodges at con
venient and scenic points, well within the park. To real
ilize what the park is one must leave the railroad. For
residents of this district, who expect to take a vacation
next year, we cant concieve of a nicer one than over the
Richardson highway, from the coast to Fairbanks, then
down into the park, for a week at least, then home.
At least when one goes Outside they can truthfully
say they have really seen Alaska.
SAFETY MEASURES NEEDED
Every time we pass the Lowell Creek flume the thot
comes to our mind about the danger to children who may
play atop of the flume when the waters are running high
and swift. And we wonder if some provision will be taken
by the city to make it safe; to take the necessary pre
caution of warning signs, penalties, or if it is proposed
to erect barrieds of some sort.
There’s a real menace looming in this matter for the
little ones will play and that flume is going to he mighty
fascinating for them when it is completed and the water
is roaring down within.
Don’t marry a flapper until you see her some morn
ing before breakfast.

augurated by the Family Service
Association is patterned along dif

In a sparsely settled neighbor
hood, six small houses stood for a
long period unrented. The owner
listened to a plan outlined by the
Association officers and agreed to
turn his buildings into the experi
ment
The plan, explained by Miss Elea
nor Porter, director of the organi
zation is to give the home to broken
; families—widows and deserted
'mothers with children. A play
ground for the youngsters is under
|way and contests are held for the
i adults in the transformation of bar
ren exteriors with vines and flow
! ers.
There is community buying, and
the group idea is extended to other
activities. Several families now are
.established in the homes.

A tale of pretended marriage that lead to all
