HIGHEST PEAK '
SEATTLE, April 24.—“Mount Mc
Kinley National Park” will read a
sign to be painted in the not very dis
tant future on a station to be built on
the railroad the United States gov
ernment is building in Alaska. Once
railroad communication is established
with this newest and probably wildest
national playground, hundreds of
tourists will visit the place, it is ex
pected.
The hand of man has done very
j little in the Mount McKinley park.j
There are no hotels, very few trails, j
and only two or three ways of reach
ing it. At present it can be reached
overland from Fairbanks or by steam-1
boat on the rapid Susitna river.
The highest peak on the continent,!
Mount McKinley, 20,300 feet, shoul
ders its way skyward in the center j
of the park. Glaciers of enormous,
bulk cover the south side of the;
1 mountain, while the north slope is
dotted with lakes and forests inhab
. ited by great herds of bighorn sheep,
moose, caribou and deer. The huge
Alaska bear is also native to the
park. The annual snowfall at some
places on the south side of the park
is sixty feet. »
Mount McKinley park lies in the
heart of the almost impassable Alaska
mountain range, which rises betweer
the Interior and the southwesterr
coast. The park was established bj
congress February 26, 1917, and cov
era an area of 2,200 square miles. Ii
is the second largest of the nations
parks.
The report of the director of na
tional parks says the park was estat
lished as a refuge and breedim
ground for the conservation of Alask
““ big game against the inroads whic
“ may be expected upon the completio
-i of the new Alaska railroad.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 24.—Ken
tucky distilleries, with a maximum
output of 192,000 bushels of corn meal
or rye flour a day from lg7 corn mills,
are ready to begin grinding food for
the folks at home, while the white
flour goes to the allies and American
soldiers at the front. *
Owsley Brown, chairman of the Jef
ferson county council of national de
fense, has reported to State Federal
Food Administrator F. M. Sackett on
the number of mills and their loca
tion, with detail data on each which
has been volunteered by distillers as
a result of Mr. Brown’s canvass.
5 These mills, when available, will he
concentrated at various points 1°
groups of ten or a dozen, where grain
will be shipped in trainload quanti
ties.
%
“I know from letters from the own
1 ers of these mills,” said Mr. Brown,
“that they are willing to sell, loan
or give these mills to Uncle Sam-'
Three of the mills are available for
grinding corn. Any of them can grind
ye flour.
The mills altogether have an aver
ige output of 15,440 bushels an hour,
jut can be speeded up to 24,000 bush
els. Those in best condition and on
railroads will be transferred when
the government needs them. Old dis-j
tillery plants will be used for corn
mills.

MOSS FOR DRESSINGS j
SEATTLE, April 24-Seventy-five
thousand sphagnum moss dressings
will soon be needed daily by the
American forces in France, according
to Harry J. Smith of the bureau of
development of the American Red
Cross, who was here recently. The
bulk of the supply must come from
the forests and bogs of the Pacific
Northwest, where it grows profusely,
Mr. Smith said.
Sphagnum moss has proven an ex
cellent substitute for cotton as an ab
sorbent, medical authorities say. Al
ready northwestern war workers have
gathered and prepared thousands of
moss dressings.
