ALASKA FOREST SURVEY
Forest surveys for Alaska
were approved this week by the
Senate in approving an author
ization measure which would
bring the territories and posses
sions within the terms of the
law enacted in 1928 calling for
national survey of forest re
sources.
“The proposed legislation,”
similar to that introduced in the
lower house by Delegate Bart
lett, “applies to all territories
and possessions,” according to
the Senate committee report on
the measure, “but because Alas
ka is the only territory or pos
session having large areas of
commercial forest land and
heavy stands of timber, the
work will be confined largely

his program not only to attract
tourists, but also to make the
hotel a meeting place for Alas
kans. It is ideally situated for
conventions and family vaca
tions, he said.
The park reserve offers plenty
for the visitor to see. It has 35
kinds of animals and at least
80 different types of birds. The
wildlife includes willow ptarmi
gan, which is found in no other
park. Ptarmigan change color—
white in winter and brown in
spring and summer.
Caribou have worn trails
across the park floor and often
migrate through the area i:
bands of 10 to 20 thousand. A
lair sized hull stands four feet
at the shoulders and weighs 35o
pounds.
Moose are the biggest animals
to be found in the park, thou ,n
a visitor encountering a Grizzly
■
may dispute that statement! The
Grizzlies just look bigger, is all.
Some of the moose weigh 1600
pounds and a bull may present
a rack of antlers more than 60
inches across.
Pin-up animal of the park is
the Dali sheep. McKinley is the
best place in the world to study
these animals at close range.
Good sized sheep stand 40 inches
at the shoulders and weigh about
200 pounds. They leap six feet
at a bound on their sure-footed
climb up the mountains.
Eggs of the elusive surfbird
and wandering tattler have been
found in McKinley Park by
keen-eyed bird lovers. The surf
bird has been a mystery to orni
thologists for 150 years. The
bird winters in South America
as far away as the Straits of
Magellan. It breeds among the
mountain tops of Central Al
aska.
The park has thousands of
wildflowers—now in bloom—
and it is a cameraman’s paradise
in the “great land.”
