McKinley Park Hotel
Has Big Season
>*
McKinley park hotel —
Guests have filled the hotel here
almost to capacity for the past
three months, the hotel manage
ment reported.
The government-owned hotel can
accommodate about 150 guests.
The facility has enjoyed the best
year since before the war. The
Alaska Railroad, owner of the
hotel, operates convenient sched
ules out of both Fairbanks and
Anchorage to McKinley Park al
most daily.
With an airstrip close by, the
hotel has also received “airborne”
business.
Spring was late in arriving at
McKinley. The National Park Serv
ice headquarters here recorded a
record 98 inches of snow last
April. Two inches of snow fell in
the park area last week.
Containing 3.030 square miles,
McKinley Park reserve is the sec
ond largest American national for
est. The preserve is the abode of
112 different types of birds—00
of whom nest in the park and 35
different types of animals. The
willow ptarmigan and the caribou
are not found in any other na
tional reserve.
Roving caribou herds leave trails
through the tundra. The park is
the home of the handsome Dali l
sheep. Inside 1he preserve may he
found grizzly, moose, red fox. mai
mot, squirrel, porcupine, wolver
ine. wolf, lynx, coyote, beaver, J
marten, mink, snowshoe hare
Alaska cony.
Visitors frequently mistake the
short-hilled gulls for “sea gulls”
and express wonder at seeing the
bird 300 miles from the ocean. Tire
elusive surf bird, which winters as
far away as the Straits of Magel
lan in South America, can be spot
ted in the McKinley Park area.

—pd. ariv.
White spruce, white birch, cot
tonwood, quaking aspen, and wil
low abound.
Sports fishing can be enjoyed
in the park. The hardy grayling- -
a scrapper—can* be caught in
Triple Lake and Savage River.
Mackinaw trout and rainbow trout
can also be taken.
Ninety miles of gravel road run
from the hotel to Kantishna, the
heart of an important mining area.
Dominating the reserve is 20,300
foot high Mount McKinley, high
est peak on the North American
continent. Two satellites, 15,000
foot Mount Hunter and 17,000
foot Mount Foraker, flank Mc
Kinley.
The railroad operates bus tours
to Camp Eielson, 66 miles west of
the hotel. From here on clear
days, McKinley shines bright and
white, 30 miles away.
The reserve, strangely, has two
different types of climate—de
pending on which side of the
mountain range one is on. The in
land side has short, hot sum
mers and long, cold winters with
little precipitation. On the side
draining into the Pacific Ocean,
the summer endures longer, but
is cooler. The winter is warmer
with much more rainfall.
In Your Interest
J. M. SALTER, Treasur
er, Kansas City Southern
Railway Co., Kansas
City, Mo., says:
“The best method, of
Avt/tir 4 /%, i nUil
dren and provide a home, is through
the Payroll Savings Plan for buy
ing U. S. Savings Bonds. In my way
of thinking, no other system of sav
ing money has yet been devised that
will equal this plan. The effort that
has been put forth in the past five
years to encourage saving through
the Payroll Savings Plan has done
more than anything else in my way
of thinking, to bring the National
Debt home to the working man and
establish individual security.”
