(By Special Correspondent)
Explanation: The name McKin
ley Park refers only to the camp
and station on the Alaska Rail
road, and is about five and a hjilf
miles east of the entrance of the
sc-called Mt. Kinley National Park,
■which is referred to locally and in
print as “the park.” A long jam
near the depot carries a sign read
ing: “Entrance to Mt. Kinley Na
tional Park.” This gives many
tourists and others a wrong im
pression.

The height of Mt. McKinley (in
Eskimo talk, Bulshaia Gora) is
nearer 26,000 feet than any other
number. For a great many years
books, pamphlets, etc., have been
giving 20,300 feet as the height of
this mountain, and has the same
amount of fact to support, the
statement that proves that the
moon is made of green cheese or
any other kind of cheese. The au
thor of the yarn apparently slip
ped in the extra 300 feet to show
verisimilitude, but brands himself
a fakir.

The newly-begun mail service
between McKinley Park and Kan
tishna mining region has been
cancelled and after the mail serv
ice had offered $1.00 a pound up
to 100 pounds or 50 cents a pound
up to 200 pounds to have the mail
carried. The carrier will have
made one round trip and a half
before he learns the sad news.
Relatives in the States of Oliver
'«!. Smith, who died last fall while
employed by the Alaska Railroad
Commission, are proving up to
get the estate left.

miles west of town, and are now
building ranger cabin 15 miles up
Riley Creek.

“It is part of my business to notice the
types of tobacco bought by various
concerns. In all instances, The Ameru
can Tobacco Company's buyers select
that rich, mellow type of tobacco
that the farmer justly calls The
Cream of the Crop* for their brand of
LUCKY STRIKE ”
These are the very words of an expe
rienced tobacco buyer on the Southern
market.
LUCKY STRIKE not only promises but
gives you the very finest of each sea
son’s tobacco crop. We pay the highest
prices, to be sure of getting the Cream
of the Crop. And then to be sure that
you get the greatest enjoyment, we
#/TOAST/# these fine tobaccos—thereby
expelling certain harsh irritants present
in all raw tobaccos. These expelled
irritants we sell to manufacturers of
chemical compounds. LUCKIES are al
ways kind to your throat. Be careful
in your choice of cigarettes.
