PARK BOUNDARY SURVEY
MOVING STEADILY FORWARD
L’nder date of July 15, the repre- I
sentative of The News with the Mt. \
McKinley National Park boundary i
survey party, writes that the sur- j
vey of the North Boundary of the!
Park has been run east from the 1
starting point on the Toklat river,'
for a distance of 22 miles, while
the packers have been transporting
supplies and equipment to the head
quarters on Stoney creek. The North
west boundary, from the starting
point to the head of Boundary
creek, a distance of 19 miles, will
be completed by July 20, and the
line will then be run southwesterly
to the McKinley Fork, where it
will be discontinued for this season,
allowing the crew to return to com- j
plete the North boundary. By that 1
time word will have been received ]
regarding the position of the East ]
boundary, which will be governed
by the passage or failure of the'
Sutherland bill now before Congress.
The field work along the East
boundary will be continued until
the cold weather forces the work
to a close, probably about October
Numerous inquiries have been
made of the chief of the party, Mr.
I Woodbury Abbey, as to whether
Lake Minchumina, also known as
the Big Lake, would be included
within the limits of the park. Sever
al people also have told him that

they have been informed that it
was the intent of the Department of
the Interior to enlarge the park to
cover the entire Kantishna district,
and he desires to state that all the
above hearsay matter is entirely
wrong. The Sutherland bill merely
enlarges the park on its eastern
end, extending it to the 14»th mere
dian to include the headwaters of
the Sanctuary river and Windy
creek, the natural habitat and
breeding grounds of the mountain
sheep herds. This extension also will
bring the Northeastern corner of the
park to the summit of a high peak
four miles southwest of Healy. The
rest of the park boundaries as de
fined on the Reconnaissance map of
the Xenana-Kantishna region, will
remain unchanged.
OIL-SEEKERS ARE MOVING
TOWARD NEW ARCTIC FIELD
EDMONTON, Alta., July .0—The
rush to stake oil claims in the foil
Norman, Northwest Territories, field
has begun in earnest and each day
now sees the tide of fortune seek
ers sweeping northward from Ed
monton, Fott McMurray. Peace Riv
er Crossing and other points. Tne
marchers also include scores of ex
perienced mineral prospectors bound
for the sub-Arctic in quest of gold.
Every town, hamlet, trading post
and river is squirming with activity
of men striving desperately to be
the first into the Arctic with the
breaking of the ice in the Great
Slave Lake. Not since the gold rush
of 1897 to the Klondike and Alaska
gold fields has there been such an
immense migration.
But the odyssey of the Yukon is
being rewritten in the present rush
in terms of modern transportation.
The oil seekers making their way to
the north travel in modern sleeping
cars to the end of the northern
railways and thence in comfortable
steamers and motor launches. One
Canadian oil company is sending its
scouting parties into the territories
in all-metal airplanes.
The moment the traveler leaves
the river highway however, he is
face to face with the still uncon
quered north. Portages must be
negotiated with great hardships for
those who are transporting heavy
oil machinery. They get a taste of
the once-frightful "Edmonton trail"
to Dawson City—the grimmest joke
of the gold-seeking northland. where
men died by the scores or went rav
ing mad. and where the survivors
who finally struggled through, ar
rived at their destination one or two
years late.
But men have learned the perils
of the north since then and have
taken advantage of the experience.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police will
not permit persons to leave ihe
“jumping-off” places in the north
this t:me unless they ate physically
fit, properly equipped for a year’s
stay in the north cour.’.ry, ard well
supplied with funds.
The two chief oorts of entry into
the north are Peace River, about
300 miles northwest of Edmonton,
and Fort McMurray, almost the
same distance due north.
PRESS CONGRESS DELEGATES
WILL VIEW HISTORIC SCENE
HILO. Island of Hawaii, July 11
—Delegates to the Press Congress
of the World, which will meet in
Honolulu next October, and will visit
this island at the conclusion of their
business sessions, will be shown the
spot where, forty years ago. a flow
of lava from Maunaloa volcano,
which threatened to destroy this
city, was stopped in its path as a
princess of the royal line faced the
oncoming river of fire and prayed
that Hilo might be saved.
Not only will the visitors see the
spot where the ten-month= flow of
lava finally stopped as Princess Ruth
faced the molten nver alone, but
they will hear from the lips cf men
who saw the incident, the story of
Hilo’s escape.
For more than 300 days, accord
ing to eye witnesses, the lava had
been pouring steadily from the
side of the mountain, when sudden
ly the ?.rc»m of fire chi.nged its
course and bore down on tha city
ot Hilo. The effort? of tne white
men fai’ed to stop the approatn of
disaster, so Hawaiiar.s took the mat
ter into their own hands.
Royal Hawaiian blodd was said to
bear weight with Pele goddess of
the volcano, so Princess Ruth, at
Honolulu, was appealed to. She an
swered the call and. as she gazed
toward the mountain with her coter
ie of followers behind her. she
could see the track of destruction
extending upward, mile after mile,
while at its forefront, almost on the
edge of the city, trees were burn
ing and great columns of smoke were
ascending.
A platform had been built in the
path of the flow and. as Princess
Ruth mounted the steps, sacrifices
' of pigs and chickens were offered
the angry goddess of the volcano.
, The princess, on her knees, appealed
to Pele to spare Hilo. And the flow
stopped.
Plainly visible against the foot of
this hill today is to be seen the face
of the lava flood, as it piled up and
hardened in 1881 when Princess
Ruth came to the rescue of her
people.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H Flower and
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Maurath went to
Fairbanks this afternoon and will
return to Xenana with the excursion
party tomorrow night.
John Teeland, who took a party
to the Tolovana in his gas boat
last week, returned to town on
Thursday. Dave Cascaden was a
returning passenger.
