MOTOR SCENES
ALONG TRAIL
; ARE PRAISED
t
j
Alaska as a new field for motorists
is the subject of an article appearing
in Motor Travel, the official publica
tion of the Automobile Club of Amer
ica, in which John R. MacNeille gives
a graphic account of motor travel
through the Interior of the Territory.
The article is well illustrated with
pictures taken along the Richardson
highway by the author and they have
been the means of giving wide pub
licity to that portion of Alaska which
they cover.
Mr. MacNeille goes into detail in his
description of “The Trail,” as he calls
the Richardson highway, between
Fairbanks and Chitina, giving a dairy
like account of each day’s travel, the
number of hours consumed, and the
actual mileage traveled, with pen pic
tures of the country through which he
passed, people he met and roadhouses
at which he ate and slept.
PASSAGE OVER SUMMIT
Typical of his impression of the
country is the description of the pass
age over the summit of the Alaska
range.
“A mile and a half after Yost’s.”
he writes, “the left fork of the river
is passed, and we bear left over the
‘Summit.’ Crossed the divide of the
Alaska range at 6:30 p. m. with wide,
clear view of Summit lake and the
headwaters of the Gulkana river. At
the left of ‘the trail’ are snow moun
tains of considerable magnitude, writh
a big glacier, and looking backward,
a charming view of the Alaska range
is had, lofty serrated mountains ris
ing up from the great rolling fields
of caribou moss. The driver, Bob
Sheldon, known all along the trail as
'The Auto King,’ stated that there
were many thousands of caribou in
the fall of 1918 for a stretch of forty
three miles in this section on both
sides of the trail.”
NO LONGER INDIFFERENT
At another time, under the spell of
the country, he writes: “The descrip
tions of the mountains are by one who,
after motoring over most of western
Europe and traveling considerably in
the United States and Canada, had
become indifferent to scenery unless
unusual, and it should be appreciated
that words are futile in attempting to
describe the granduer of the moun
tains and glaciers and the vastness of
the panoramas of the Interior and
along the south and southeastern
coasts of Alaska.”
GOV. RIGGS WANTS ALL
INFORMATION ON BEAR
CASUALTIES IN ALASKA
Governor Riggs is preparing a state
ment of all casualties in Alaska result
ing from fights between people and
bears, to meet the agitation in the
east against the repeal of the bill pro
tecting brown bears in the North. In
the interests of this task which he
has set for himself he would like to
have a list of all people in the Ter
ritory who have been killed or injured
in fights with bears, and as many of
the circumstances as possible.
Dr. W. T. Hornaday is leading the
fight against the proposal to repeal
the law which protects brown bears.
PERU HAS PROBLEM IN
CURBING IMMIGRATION
OF ASIATIC WORKERS
BUENOS AIRES, June 8 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Peru, like the United
States and Canada, has its “Asiatic
problem.” Advices from Lima tell
of the distribution of circulars among
the workers of that city protesting
against “the monopolization by the
Asiatic and Japanese element of our
small industries” and the holding of
a protest meeting- The advices state
that the police “very discreetly dis
suaded” the protestants from holding
a street demonstration. There has
been a large increase reported in Jap
anese immigration to Peru recently.
