WASHINGTON, March 2.—The bill
making the Mt. McKinley region in
Alaska a national park only awaits
the president’s signature to become a
law. Through the act 2,200 square
miles of country rich in forests and
wild life and characterized by wonder
ful scenery, are set apart for all time
as a refuge for wild life and a play
ground for the people.
The Mt. McKinley bill was strongly
advocated by Ihe Boone and Crockett
Camp Fire clubs and the American
Game Protective association. It also
had the support of Secretary Frank
lin K. I.ane, and the department of the
interior. Senator Key Pittman and
Representative James McClintic and
Janies Wickersham led the fight for
the bill in congress.
Wild Life Benefitted.
Among the species of wild life that
will be specifically benefitted by the
action of congress are mountain
sheep, moose and caribou. Mt. Mc
Kinley is the first game refuge to be
set aside in Alaska, but it is hoped
another will be established shortly in
the Kenai peninsula, the home of the
giant moose.
There was urgent need of action in
the present instance, as the region
now given protection was menaced by
a large increase of population of the
town of Nenana, nearby, and also by
the approach of the government rail
road.
Most high mountains rise by grad
ual steps that the height ceases to be
either appreciated or so effective in
its grandeur. This mountain altitude
of 20,300 feet is covered by perpetual
snow for a distance of about 18,000
feet below the summit. It is studded
with many large glaciers, and its
j sides are cut with torrential moun
tain streams. The southern expos
ure is a mass of ice or glaciers for
thirty-five miles, while its walls are
| so precipitous that it cannot be ascen
i ded from that side. To the north the
1 slope, while precipitous, is more easy
of ascent, and the base of the moun
| tain at an altitude of two or three
, thousand feet consists of beautiful
parklike steps dotted by sparkling
; mountain streams and rich wild flow
j ers and flora.
Opened by Railroad.
At the present time the region is
i practically inaccessible to tourists, but
i with 'the advent of the government
i railroad it will be easily reached from
Broad Pass. From Broad Pass to the
boundary of the park will be approxi
mately fifteen or twenty miles, and
from such boundary to the base cf
the mountain approximately' fifty
miles farther.
The report of those familiar with
the region shows that the country be
tween Broad Pass and the mountain
is an open bench covered with a hard
foundation that may be traversed in
nearly any direction during the sum
mer months upon horseback without
the necessity of trails.
The construction of wagon and auto
mobile roads in such country would
be very simple and economical.
At the present time there are no
accommodations for tourists in the
park, and such accommodations can
not be satisfactorily provided except
under the supervision of a national
park service.
The region embraced in the boun
daries, particularly to the north of
Mt. McKinley, is a natural breeding
and feeding ground for all character
of game. The game in this vicinity
Is more abundant than anywhere in
the United States. It is the home of
the moose, the caribou and the moun
tain sheep, which now are almost as
gentle as domestic animals. The pre
servation of this game will not only be
a delight to the tourist who may visit
the park, but it almost is essential to
the life of the hardy'prospectors, the
advance guard of civilization, who for
years have been attempting to devel
op the great territory.
These people realize the value of
game and are never wanton in the
CINCINNATI, March 14.—Baseball
bugs hereabouts believe the destiny of
the Reds, as far as 1917 is concerned,
is in the keeping of Christy Mathew
son and Hal Chase.
Matty has a bunch" of youthful pitch
ers to work with him this season. If
he can develop a star or two from
among Lefty Gerner, Jim Ring, Mike
Regan, Roy Sanders and Hod Eller,
all snared from the bushes last fall,
Red prospects of a first division
berth won’t be so bad, as Fred Toney,
Pete Schneider and Clarence Mitch
ell, who appear due for big years,
are counted on to carry most of the
burden.
The old master of the pitching hill
will devote the most of his time at
the training camp to teaching his
pitchers the secrets that made him
the most famous of big league pitch
ers. Matty worked on Pete Schneider
last fall and made a big improvement
in his work. Elmer Knetzer, who
still is with the team, likewise show
ed improvement.
Chase will have charge of the bat
ting end of the camp. Hal only led
the league last year, so he is pretty
well qualified to give instructions on
how to hit the elusive pill. Chase
likewise will drill the vets and rookies
on base running and perhaps show
them a few things about fielding,
A great fielding and throwing out
field is sure to wear the Red this
year. Eddy Rousch, Tom Griffith
and Neale can go and get ’em as far
as any three in the majors.
None set the world afire at bat last
year, so Chase will take them in tow,
while Manuel Cueto, a Cuban slugger,
lifted from the Virginia league, will
try to beat one of them out of his
job.
The team is certain to be strong at
two infield positons, first and third or
first and second, it being uncertain
right now whether Heinie Groh will
play third or second. Bill McKech
nie, Dave Shean, Billy Louden, Lar
ry Kopf, Tommp Itomanch are candi
dates for the other two jobs, and all
Redville bugs can hope is that they
will fill the bill.
The catching staff does not look ex
tra promising so faj\ Ivy, WfUgo and
Tom Clarke both had poor reasons
last year. Emil Iluhn was sick most
of the summer, but showed promise
at the tail end. Huhn has an excel
lent chance of becoming one of the
first string backstops this year.
Fifth or sixth place seems to be the
best the Reds can hope for. There is
no silly pennant talk being stirred up
here, as the team doesn’t look as good
as the one Buck Herzog took south
last spring. However, Herzog’s tac
tics as manager failed to get the re
sults the team was capable of, and if
the Reds don’t have anything else
this year except harmony they are
pretty sure to have that, and har
mony never kept a team down in the
race.
destruction of animal life, but with
the buildihg of railroads and wagon
roads and the influx of tourists, hunt
ers and adventurers, game refuges in
Alaska will be absolutely necessary.
Recognizing the necessity of game for
the existence of the prospector, it is
provided that prospectors and min
ers engaged in prospecting and min
ing in the park may take and kill
game therein for their actual necessi
ties when short of food, but that in no
case shall animals or birds be killed
in said park for sale or removal there
from, or wantonly.
As mining is recognized as the chief
industry of Alaska, the mineral laws
of the United States, are extended to
the area within the park, also all ex
isting claims, locations or entries un
der the land or mineral laws of the
United States are recognized and will
be protected. The right-of-way laws
of the United States for inegation and
other purposes are also extended to
the park.
NEW YORK, March 15.—It is an
nounced here by the national re
search council that an exhaustive in
vestigation is to be undertaken to de
termine to what extent, if any, the
danger of poisoning is involved in the
use of canned goods. The National
Canners’ Association, representing
practically all producers of canned
foodstuffs in this country, is to bear
the entire expense of the investigation,
which will be conducted entirely in
dependent of the association except
in the matter of the financing of the
work. A sum of over $100,000 will be
appropriated by the Canners’ Associa
tion, should the work require so large
an expenditure.
The proposal to make such an in
vestigation was brought forward by
Dr. George E. Hale, director of the Mt.
Wilson solar observatory, and chair
man of the national research council,
who believed there was widespread
interest in such an important subject
as the danger of poisoning from the
use of canned goods. Approaching the
National Canners’ Association, Dr.
Hale found that organization eager
to have such an independent investi
gation made, firm as it was in the
belief that canning methods as gen
erally used in this country thorough
ly protect the public from the danger
of poisoning. Many cases of illness
that ha/e been attributed to poison
ing from eating canned goods are be-'
lieved by the canners to have actually
resulted from entirely different causes
or from disregard of the ordinary pre
cautions, such as not allowing goods
to stand in a can after being once i
opened.
The Canners’ Association itself for!
years maintained itslaboratory j
in Washington, adequate to conducti
its own investigations, but has, never
theless, thought it wise to put its case
into the hands of an independent re
search board, for although the subject
is one that has been investigated to
some extent before, there has as yet
been no complete survey of this prob
lem. With a view to supplying this
deficiency, the national research coun
cil has appointed a committee to sup
ervise the inquiry, which will be un
dertaken by the Harvard Medical
school in its department of preventa
tive medicine and hygiene. The work
has been entrusted to Ur. M. J. Rosen-'
au, of Harvard, who is one of the most1
eminent pharmaecological chemists in j
the country. The l-esults of the re
search will be published through the
regular scientific channels from time
to time, but it is expected that it may
be a matter of three years or more be
fore the ground is completely cov
ered. j
The advisory commission which has
been named by the national research
council in conference with Dr. Rosen
au and under the advice of Dr; Wil
liam H. Welch, president of the Na
tional Academy of Sciences, which
will have supervisory charge of the
investigation, is as follows: Profes
sors John J. Abel, Johns Hopkins Uni
versity; Reid Hunt, Harvard Univer
sity; E. O. Jordan, University of Chi
cago; Lafayette B. Mendel, Yale Uni
versity; Frederick G. Novy, University
of Michigan; Eugene Opie, Washing
ton University, and H. Gideon Wells,
University of Chicago.
