United States Senator Key
Pittman of Nevada, formerly
chief of the Arctic Brotherhood,
and James Wickersham, delegate
in congress from Alaska, are
planning to put the Northland
into the scenery business on a
big scale. A joint bill has been
introduced in the house and sen
* ate to create a national park sur
rounding Mount McKinley, the
highest peak on the continent of
♦ North America. They are back
ed by the Camp Fire Club of
America, the American Game
Protective Association and the
Boone & Crocket Club.
The argument of the sponsors
of the proposal is that Switzer
land lives on her scenery—or
rather the income from tourists
who visit Switzerland because of
the scenery. They contend that
^ the picturesque beauty of Alaska
is as great as that of Switzerland
and greater than that of most
parts of Europe. The scenery of
Alaska, they claim, is a mine of
undeveloped wealth, which, add
ed to other natural resources,
should make the territory one of
the richest countries in the
world.
The creation of the national
park, it is held, will be a tremen
dous advertisement for the new
federal railroad now under con
struction and that increased bus
iness will come with the tide of
tourist travel. Hotels will be
established and roads built. Both
passenger and freight traffic on
the government railroad will be
benefitted. Some of the tourists
who go to visit the National park
it is believed, will remain in Alas
ka, and others will find oppor
tunities for investment, thus giv
ing an important impetus tc the
development of the territory.
Belmore Brown of Tacoma, who
with Prof. Herschell Parker
made the first ascent of the
North Peak of the mountain,
chairman of the committee on
the conservation of forests and
wild life in America for the
Camp Fire Club of America, has
written an article on the neces
sity of preserving the game of
the north in the proposed Na
tional park. It is published in a
brochure issued jointly by the
organization back of the project,
the idea being to enlist the sup
port of other clubs.

Stand: Front of F. J. Cotter’s Store. HERMAN E. GENTSCH, Mgr.
Robert Stirling Yard, editor of
Harper’s Magazine, contributes
an article in the same publication
in which he points out the great
advantages that have been de
rived by Canada from the ex
ploitation of its scenery. He
predicts that within ten years
Mount McKinley National Park
will have become a distinguished
source of cash conservation to
the nation and of income to
Alaska.
The bill creating the park will
probably be reported out of com
mittee this month and may be
voted upon before the session
closes.
Because thousands of acres of
coal, oil and timber lands in Al
aska have been tied up in reser
vations, thus hampering the de
velopment of the territory, Alas
kans, generally speaking, are not
enthusiastic about propositions
which tie up parts of the'public
domain, but the advaniages to fie
der'uj^from creating a national
