THE spirit of service which exists in the
operation of The Alaska Railroad, has
made our patrons our friends, and the safe
guarding and transportation of their ship
ments to stations on our line, to their entire
satisfaction is our ambition.
During the month of May the season of
river navigation will augment our rail serv
ice, and freight and passenger travel will .
receive the benefit of our experience.
Trains will connect with all sailings on
the Tanana and Yukon Rivers.
Timetables, descriptive literature, etc.,
will be gladly furnished on request.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
The Alaska Railroad
(Mt. McKinley Park Route)
Alaska
Anchorage
Tourist travel is in full swirig into
Mt. McKinley National Park, and are j
arriving on every train. Twice as j
many tourists . have wanted to visit
the Pahk, the Park transportation
j company was compelled to cancell
over 50 applications for lack of sleep
ing accomodations to care for them.
It i= ncticabl^ that more tourists 'rre
trying over 30 days in the Park in
stead of just over night as in former
years. The transportation company
has doubled their equipment since the
season opened.
One of the large bridge gangs in j
charge of Sid Sheldon is working over j
the small bridges and foot logs along
the Alaska Railroad in this region.
McKinley P*ark has bent its pick at
last! We had klways bragged of the j
fact that McKinley F^ark had no mos
quitoes—and a fact to6’—%ut this year
they bounced in thicker than in
Egypt. It may be due to the power
advertising, that mosquitoes decided
to cdift# on and try a nice juicy tourist
fresh in over the ice, as they used to
say in the dance halls,
The mouftCAin sheep brought in last
winter while the snows were so heavy,
and fed on cheechako grub, all died
before any tourists got here. Oats was
jtbe favorite dish, and for a long time
seemed to be contented and doing
well, but finally up and died. One ran
ger said he thought the dern things
was just homesick and died. j
The lowly porcupine has finally got
himself into a heck of a mess. It ap
pears the porkys looked up the boun-!
;deries of McKinley Park and decided
| all trees growing in the Park were the j
; best eating, and by knawing off the
i bark entirely the trees has threatened
to kill off the none too plentiful forest. J
The army of rangers is armed with
machine guns, shot guns, and the like,
and them that can’t shoot straight car- j
ry a brick tied up in a stocking. The
j order is to swat the poor, innocent
little porky.
The Alaska Road Commission camp j
I
in the Park boasts of a dog that per- j
forms a trick probably never equalled
j by any dog in the North. The dog’s I
name is Foxy and he came down from
Fairbanks in the spring. His first day !
in the Park resulted in a mixup with ■
a porcupine in which Foxy had deci
edly the short end. After the men
had removed all the quills Foxy was
good and mad and planned a new at
tack on the porky. Now he circles a
round porky until he can grab him by ,
the nose, then goes into reverse and j
drags his unwilling victon down to the
creek and souses porky under until
he is drowned, and Foxy is not much
bigger than the porky at that. Then
some men will argue that an animal
don’t reason!
Mountain sheep, caribou and moose
are now ranging North. Every day
large droves of these animals are seen
crossing the valleys to the North range
of mountains. Later in the season
they will again range South.
The road commission boys spent
the Fourth on a big fishing trip up
Riley Creek.
Work crews are busy hauling and
dumping rock into the recent break
in the fill of the coal mine switch.
Look for the government stamps
