UNFAVORABLE WEATHER
DELAYS BOUNDARY SURVEY
Among the passengers arriving in
town on the train from the south
yesterday morning was U. S. Cadas
tral Engineer Woodbury Abbey, who
is engaged in surveying and marking
the boundaries of Mt. McKinley Na
tional Park, and Donald Hayley, a
member of the survey party. They
came to town on a hurried business
trip and returned to their camp on
a freight train leaving for the south
this afternoon.
The area of the park is 2,645
square miles, and the work of sur
veying and marking the boundarie;
of the huge tract was commenced
last summer by Mr. Abbey, with a
larger party than he has this season
Owing to the heavy rains which ap
pear to have been general through
out the Interior country this sum
mer, the work of the surveyors wa
hampered very considerably.
The park boundary lines leading
westward from the railroad, cross
the drainage and by reason of the
rains, the streams were all very
much swollen and unfordable for the
greater part of the time along the
boundary line.
The line crosses the Savage. Sane
tuary, Teklanika. Shushana, Tokla
and its several forks east and wesl
of the main stream. McKinley rivet
and Birch creek and the various
streams tributary to it, flowing frorr
the huge glaciers at the base of Mt
McKinley and Mt. Foraker, the big
gest two of which are the Peters
and Herron glaciers.
To add to the delays incident tc
the bad weather, the pack train en
gaged to haul supplies for the party,
was sold to the Beach exploring and
hunting party which is traveling
through the park enroute to Mt.
Dali region, in the Kuskokwim dis
trict. The pack train left the survey
party practically stranded on Mc
Kinley river, to return to Riley fc
the balance of the supplies, the firs:
load taken in consisting chiefly of
camp equipment and bedding. No
word was received from the pac':
outfit for a long time. Finally i:
was learned from travelers that the
stock had been sold and two mem
bers of the party finallyy were dis
patched for more stock.

the boundary line was extended
across the McKinley river and Mu i
dy fork as far as the men could
' conveniently back pack. Three trips
were made in this manner while
waiting' for the horses and. finally.
I Mr. Abbey was compelled to return
; to the railroad.
On the way back to the railroad,
, while in the neighborhood of Mul
! drow mountain, better known as
Copper mountain, on the afternoon
of August 28. a heavy snowstorm
set in. It lasted two days and cover
ed everything with six inches of
snow.
Mr. Abbey met Harry Karstens at
! the Teklanika. He was acting as
i escort to Major Gotshal. of New
. York. They had intended going in
to the park through the upper passe.
j but turned back because of unfavor
j able weather conditions.
Mr. Abbey reports tnat ten days
• more work in the field will complete
| the line to the westward, which will
conclude the work planned for the
summer.
Mrs. Anna Bergiand, former resi
| dent of Nenana. who left for the
States in the early summer, informs
Mrs. D'Orsay that she and her son
George were met by her husband
1 and son Charles, upon arrival at
| Oialla, Wash., and that they are
| now all happy and comfortable in
| their home there.
Mts. Bergiand was agreeably sur
prised to find the stump land all
cleared and trees, planted four
years ago, now bearing fruit. They
have marketed a splendid crop of
berries, as the soil is adapted par
ticularly to berries. She reports con
, siderable rain but states that all
I neighborhood gardens and their own
are doing fine, as the sunshine more
j than offset the rain.
The boys are enthusiastic about
horseoack riding and go swimming
! every day.
; Mrs. Bergiand is enjoying a visit
from a brother whom she had not
seen in many years.

P. C. Cummings and Thomas J.
