Glimpse of Wild Animals
Special Sleeper Cars Convey Party
To National Park Station
from Curry Hotel.
McKinley National Park had all
the aspect of a tourist mecca this
week, according to Seward arrivals
last evening from the Interior for
last Monday’s train, out of Seward,
carried 23 people, all for the Park.
Special arrangements were made at
Curry to transport them directly to
the Park station without the neces
sity of remaining over at the Hotel
Curry on Monday night.
Railroad Giving Service
This was accomplished by t!jl ad
dition of two sleeper cars attached
to the northbound freight leaving
Curry at 10 o’clock Monday night,
shortly after the arrival of the par
ty from the coast. Arriving at the
park the party was met by the Mc
Kinley Park Tourist and Transpor
tation Company’s automobiles and
taken out to Savage river, about 15
miles away from steel, where a sour
dough breakfast was enjoyed. Fol
lowing breakfast, for a period of two
hours the party devoted themselves
to taking pictures of the bands of
sheep and several caribou that ob
ligingly presented themselves to the
cameras. The sound of the cameras
clicking closely resembled a machine
gun in operation, it was stated.
Members Hunt for Fox.
A number^5f the more ardent mem
bers made a trip of two miles and
attempted to smoke out a litter of
red foxes that have their abode near
the Savage river camp. The re
turn trip to the railroad held a bit
of extra excitement, two of the cars
having to halt abruptly in order to
permit the passage of several cari
bou that blocked the roadway.
Hunt for Alaska’s “Ibex”
Hal G. Evarts, Saturday Evening
Post contributor, who, which his fam
ily, left Seward last Monday for the
Park, is anxious to verify the moot
ed question, as to the existence of
the “Ibex,” in the Southwestern Al
askan mountain ranges. The* “Ibex”
is a specie of a wild goat and has
horns which curve backwards, trans
verely ridged in front. In the male
specie the horns average about two
feet in length. During the day time
the animal lives above the snow
line, but at night descends to graze.
Kerry Party In Park.
A. S. Kerry, one of the most in
fluential and prominent business
men in the Pacific Northwest, who,
with his party of ten, were brief
visitors in Seward this week, were
among those making the trip into
the park. They are now on the
Richardson trail, headed for Cordo
va on the Golden Belt tour. The
Misses Rose Lute, Luella Arnts,
Mayme Wigtail and Julia Pattsner,
were enthusiastic park trippers and
will remain over in Fairbanks, de
voting several days to motoring before
returning to Seward to connect with
the steamer Yukon which is schedul
ed to leave port Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock.
Mr. and Mrs. McLeod of the Bu
reau of Education were among the
party making the park trip. They
are going down the river on the Al
aska Railroad steamer, General Ja
cobs, to investigate departmental con
ditions at the various sattions on the
Yukon river and at other points.
They expressed themselves as being
much surprised at the Interior scen
ery which they acknowledged was
quite bewildering. The impression of
a land of desolation was quickly dis
pelled and they look forward to the
river trip as a climax to what has
been a journey of education and scen
ic beauty.
Mrs. J. A. Baughman and daughter
will be outgoing passengers on the
steamer Yukon for Seattle, on the
August 30th trip. Miss Dorothy
Baughman will enter high school in
Seattle it is stated.
