SUPPLY BUSES II
FINDS ARE AUTHORISED FOR
STATIONS ON McKINLEY
PARK ROAD
The Secretary of the Interior
Kay Lyman Wilbur, authorized the
expenditure of $60,000 for the con- j
struction this year of supply bases j
along the lines of the McKinley j
Park road in Alaska, the Depart
ment of the Interior announced
August 5.
These bases make possible the
rapid construction of the road,
which it is expected will be com
pleted within two years, it was

added. The road is 73 miles long, i
connecting the Alaska Railroad i
with Copper Mountain, at the |
base of Mt. McKinley. A hotel j
is to be erected on Copper Mount-!
ain.
Following is the Department’s
announcement in full text:
Completion of the McKinley
Park Road through Mount Mc
Kinley National Park, from the
entrance station on the Alaska
Railroad to Copper Mountain, a
distance of 73 miles, within two
years, was assured by action of
Secretary Wilbur in authorizing
additional work on the projects
this season.
This road is being constructed
by the Alaska Road Commission
for the National Park Service.
The road is now open to Sable
Pass, Mile 38, and is suitable for
motor traffic to Igloo camp, Mile
34. The additional work author
ized by the Secretary provides
$60,000 for opening up and stock
j ing supply bases before winter
closes down so that next spring
I construction can be rapidly push
j ed.
Copper Mountain is at the foot
of Mount McKinley, highest
mountain in the world above its
surrounding base. It is an ideal
location for a tourist hotel which
it is proposed to build and have
ready for the tourist season of
1932. A magnificent view of the
mountain will be had from the
proposed hotel. It will be the
I starting point for guided trips on
to the adjacent Muldrow Glacier.
The Park highway will be one of
, the most scenic highways in
! North America, crossing four
; major passes—Sable, Polychorme,
: Highway, and Thorofare— from
! which remarkable views of the
Alaskan Range are had.
With the completion of the
highway and proposed hotel it is
expected that thousands of tour
| ists will be attracted to Alaska to
; make the Mount McKinley Park
; trip. Tourists traffic on the Gov
ernment owned Alaska Railroad
is expected rapidly to become one
of the principal sources of reven
ue. This heavy increase of travel
to Alaska will undoubtedly result
in additional and improved
steamship facilities.

Although the flight was not
entirely completed, I feel the
feasibility of long range pursuit
has been demonstrated and that
it is entirely practicable to estab
lish aerial connections from any
where in the United States with
“Hawk.” pursuit plane, equiped
with a Curtiss Conqueror motor,
used in the flight, which performed
to perfection.
I ascribe the failure to reach
my goal as due to condensation
j of water from the air within the
tanks during the flight. I had
flown for several hours through
rain and clouds and had been
compelled to change altitude in
numerable times with resultant
changes in temperature tending
to create conditions apt to cause
condensation.
I certainly did not use infer
ior gas, as extensive pains were
taken at each stop to give me the
best possible service.
