WASHINGTON', Mir. h 17.—Sec
retary of the Interior. announces
the creation by congress ot the Mount
McKinley National park. This new
reservation, which encloses an area
of 2,200 square miles, lies in south ,
central Alaska and contains the lofti- i
est mountain in America.
Mount McKinley rises 20,300 feet
above sea level. It is nearly six thou
sand feet higher than Mount Whit
ney, the loftiest summit within the
borders of the continental United
States. There are a few loftier
mountains in the world, notably in
the Himalayas, but none which rises
so far above the neighboring country.
The valleys of the Himalayas are
from seven to ten thousand feet and
more in altitude; the valleys of the
Mount McKinley National park range
from 1,800 to 3,000 feet in altitude.
McKinley’s elevation above the level
of immediate observation, therefore,
is thousands of feet higher than that
of any other mountain, and the sub
limity of the spectacle it presents is
correspondingly greater.
The magnificence of the spectacle
is further increased by the fact that
the upper 14,000 feet of the vast
mountain is solidly covered with snow
and ice. Some of the hugest glaciers
in the world flow from McKinley’s
sides.
“It is an awe-inspiring region of
massive mountains and ice-capped
peaks,” Belmore Brown of the Camp
Fire club, who ascended McKinley,
testified before the senate committee
on territories. “The Piedmont pla
teau, that follows the range, affords a
beautiful roadway direct to Mount
McKinley, and when you reach the
plateau all difficulties vanish and you
see a view that is unique on this
earth. You see the huge mountain
line of perpetual snow, rising like a
great wall on the southeast. You can
ride a pony to where Mt. McKinley
rises 17,000 feet above you in a glit
i tering wall of snow and ice. It is
flanked by stupendous mountains,
which make a wonderful setting for
i the monster.”
The south side of Mount McKinley,
! which is the gigantic climax of the
great Alaskan range, is nearly impas
sable. It is covered by glaciers of
enormous bulk; the annual snowfall in
some places reaches a depth of 60 feet.
On the north side, however, is a
rolling country dotted with beautiful
lakes and forests and inhabited by
enormous herds of caribou. In fact
the special reason why congress set
apart the region at this time was to
conserve the wild animal life in ad
vance of the invasion of hunters which
the new government railroad will
bring into Alaska, the road as pro
jected running within 20 miles of this
greatest of nature’s spectacles.
Charles Sheldon, of the Boone and
Crockett club, who has spent much
time there in recent years, told the
senate that several times he has count
ed as many as five hundred mountain
sheep in a single day of ordinary trav
el ,and that herds of caribou number
ing from twelve to tiften hundred are
frecpjently seen.
As a game refuge and breding
ground, the new National Park is ex
pected to conserve Alaskan game
which elsewhere is rapidly disappear
ing. As in the case of the Yellowstone
National park the reservation will be a
perpetual center of game supply for
large neighboring areas.
SEWARD CHAMBER IS
STRONG ON LUNCHEONS
The Seward Commercial club make
it a point to entertain celebrities who j
pass through their town going and j
| coming. The affairs usually take the j
form of informal luncheons and are
usually acceptable if not delectable.
This expression of courtesy is appreci
ated and leaves a favorable impression
that occasionally brings the hoped for
result; in any event the custom is cred
itable and worthy of emulation. The
aggressive body recently entertained,
at the noon hour, in honor of A. Chris
tensen, manager of the land and indus
trial department, with headquarters in
Anchorage, who was en route to Ju
neau to appear before the territorial
solons on behalf of the Anchorage pub
lic schools.
That Mr. Christensen appreciated
the mark of courtesy is proven by his
impromptu after luncheon speech in
which he extolled the organization on
it aggressiveness and lightly touched
on the possibilities of Seward and the
adjacent neighborhood. In closing
Mr. Christensen, merely in the way of
advice, suggested that the future en
ergies of the organization be confined

TRAVELS 500 MILES TO
SERVE JAIL SENTENCE
SEWARD, March 17.—Emil Ander
son of Nushagak on Bristol bay, holds
the long distance record in Alaska for
an “unescorted hike from court to
cell.” Anderson was convicted at Val
dez, home of the court in this district,
and traveled 500 miles alone to Nusha
gak where he served a thirty day sen
tence. He carried his own commitment
papers and had served his time, been
been released and at home two months
before word reached the court that he
had obeyed orders.
Anderson’s offense was that of us
ing a knife in an argument at the
Nushagak cannery. After his arrest
he was transported across Bering sea,
through Unimak pass and northeast
again to Valdez for trial, a distance
of nearly 1500 miles by water. The
testimony showed that beyond a doubt
he had cut his opponent, but it also
showed that the opponent was the ag
gressor. Under these circumstances
the jury recommended extreme clem
ency. The court took cognizance of
the situation and realizing that the
man had already been in custody over
two months, ordered that he return
home and deliver himself to the dep
uty United States marshal and serve
a sentence of thirty days.
The last boat had sailed for Nusha
gak, and Anderson considered the pos
sibility of getting a job on the rail
road here and waiting till spring to go
home and serve his sentence, but he
had left many things undone at home,
| so he obtained a passage on a boat
which landed him at Iliamna, on the
west side of Cook inlet. From Iliamna
jie started on the long overland jour
ney across the upper end of the Alas
ka peninsula. It was late fall, and
there were snow squalls and every ^
possible inconvenience.
For twenty days he waded and
i swam streams and mushed over the
hills in Arctic weather, eating spar
ingly of his fast decreasing pack,
which he replenished twice with dog
salmon from natives. He finally
reached Nushagak on October 27
where he at once gave himself up,
served his term and was released No
vember 25, according to the official
returns made to the clerk of the court
which arrived in the winter mail via?
Cold bay.
