M’GRAW’S TEAM SCORES THIRD VICTORY
YANKEES GO DOWN TO DEFEAT IN FOURTH GAME
■ NEAR EAST SITUATION ASSUMING PEACEFUL ASPECT
ABBEY SEEKING CONCESSION j
FOR PARK TOURIST HOTELS j
*
*>
M
K
Realizing: the need of hotel ac
commodations for tourists visiting
Mt. McKinley National Park, and
convinced that the building of a
string of hotels in the park and the
maintenance of a regular trail trans
portation service, connecting with
the Alaska Railroad, will ultimately
yield substantial returns on the in
vestment, Woodbury Abbey, whose
work in connection with the park
boundary survey during the last
several years, has thoroughly ac
quainted him with conditions, has
made application to the Govern
ment for a concession for a period
of years and says he is ready
to spend $100,000 on the enterprise
if given the opportunity.
During the many years that Mr.
Abbey has been connected with
Government survey work in Alaska,
it has been necessary for him to
make frequent trips to Washington
during the winter months, to re
port to his department, and ly§ ac
quaintance in the East and connec
tion with numerous clubs of promi
nence. will enable him to interest
many Outsiders in his proposed plaD
to attract tourists to the park. In
fact, he expresses confidence in his
ability to secure at ieast fifty visit
ors next summer, providing he is
given the necessary permission to
erect hotels and make other arrange
ments for handling tourists.
It is Mr. Abbey's plan to build
several substantial log structures, at
convenient distances, and to furnish
them in a manner that will appeal
to visitors, equal in appointment to
a good hotel in the States. The
buildings would be large enough to
accommodate a party of consider
able size, and there would be a
stable in connection with each hotel,
as well as dog kennels. There would
be a man in charge of each hotel,
and each would have a cook and a
stableman.
Mr. Abbey believes that it would
b*. necessary for the success of such
an enterprise to maintain a pack
train, with saddle animals for the
accommodation of visitors, and com
petent guides. Parties would be met
at McKinley Park station and taken
through the park in comfort and
without the annoyance of having 'o
arrange for the trip in advance, as
is the case at present.
The Government has no funds
for such an enterprise as has been
planned by Mr. Abbey, and it i=
the practice of the park commission
throughout the country to grant
concessions of the kind requested.
And, as has been pointed out on
several occasions during the last
summer, tourists cannot be expect
ed to make the park trip under ex
isting conditions, except those oc
casional visitors who prefer to
rough it.
Mr. Abbey desires to get to work
on his plaus immediately and has al
ready secured the endorsement of
influential Alaskans. He is waiting
now for the necessary permission
from Washington. He is hopeful of
' being ready to receive tourists by
next summer.
Mr. Abbey was in Nenana .yes
terday, enroute to Fairbanks.
