AXCHOUAlii;, ALASKA. FRIDAY, MAY 11. HUT.
AN ASSET TO ANCHORAGE.
Anchorage, as the gateway to Mount McKinley national
park, has a mighty big asset in the wonderful scenic beauties
of this, the highest mountain in North America, and it is about
time we began to give publicity to this important matter, be
cause it is to our advantage to do so. Then* is no reason on
earth why a very important tourist traffic should not be di
rected this way, if the people on the outside but knew of the
grandeur of the trip, the boundless beauties there to be seen,
the health-giving, health-building climatic conditions main
taining, and withal, the comparatively slight cost incident to
such a journey. We have heard much of the Alps, in the old
world. Untold thousands have visited these glorious moun
tains and have been regaled and benefited by the joruney. But
beautiful and grand as are the Alps, they are not to be com
pared with the majestic, the sublime scenic beauties of Mount
McKinley. All that is needed to direct a yearly increasing
tourist traffic this way is publicity and an appropriation by
the congress for the building of an auto road from the gov
ernment railway line to the park boundaries and the erection of
a suitable tourist hotel for the accommodation of the trade. It
is but ]fj miles from tin- railway line, at one point, to the east
ern boundary of the big park. It is presumed that those who
took the initiative in having the national park created had
some such idea in mind. There is a national park board having
headquarters in the national capital and we should like to see
the local Chamber of Commerce get into communication with it
and find out what plans the board has with respect to this par
ticular park.
Much information is conveyed in an article in the National
t ioographic magazine, written by S. W. Capps, of the United
States geographical survey, concerning the Mount McKinley
national park. The caption of this informing article is, “A
(Janie Country Without a Rival In America.”
It is time for us to boost for the Mount McKinley national
park, so as to drive it into the minds of prospective tourists
that Anchorage is the gateway; that they can reach here by
ocean-going steamship, take a train and reach within Id miles
of the eastern limits of the big park. It is desirable that the
tourists should come by steamer to this point, because there is
much for a tourist to see by t raversing the waters of ('ook inlet.
There are active volcanoes and extinct volcanoes that border
rile western shore of Cook inlet.
We are sure the steamship lines will give publicity to this
matter, because it is to their interest to do so. Things will not
begin to show results until next season. By that time, the rail
way lint* will be completed well past Talkeetna, the probable
point where the Mount McKinley road will branch off. The
first essential thing, then, is an automobile road, to reach the
park grounds. The next thing is adequate hotel accommoda
tions for the tourists. Let us devote our energies to these ends.

XK\Y YORK, May 11.—An American liner, that readied
Xew York from an Knglish port last night, reports that it took
