CIRCULAR LETTER TO
AGENTS
The Alaska Railroad
During the past several years the
National Parks of the United States
have become so popular with sports
men and travelers that there has been
a marked annual decrease in the num
ber of Americans leaving their own
soil to vacation in foreign lands—
and an equally marked increase in
the number of visitors from foreign
countries to our own National Parks.
Explanation lies in the fact that
our government, assisted admirably
by the various communities directly
interested in national park develop
ment work. Here is an apt illustra
tion: As recently as 1915 the total
number of persons from states east
of the Mississippi river visiting Mt.
Kaineer National Park in the State
of Washington was no more than
300; the total number of visitors for
the season was no less than 12,000.
The number of visitors from foreign
lands was nil. However through
the efforts of Hon. Stephen T. Mather
director of the National Park service,
and the combined efforts of Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland, the total num
I ber of visitors to Mt. Rainier Nation
al Park at the close of the 1923 sea
son had grown to more than 120,
000; this total including large num
bers from every state in the union
and Canada ,and from practically all
! the foreign countries. This record was
I the result of only seven years’ endea
j vor, and was accomplished by the in
! telligent and united efforts of those
above mentioned.
The real purpose of this letter is
to remind our agents of the fact
that here in Alaska is situated one
of Uncle Sam’s most wondrous play
grounds, Mt. McKinley National Park.
Possibly at no other spot on the
North American continent may be
found the great variety of sights and
activities that are offered in this
marvelous mountain-crowned region.
Glorious wild flowers, in every color
and form ;there are placid lakes,
plunging cataracts and torrential
mountain streams. Here the sports
man may, in a brief period, see more
wild game, in greater variety, than
may be found in many miles of travel
elsewhere; in fact in Mt. McKinley
National Park may be found some
thing to suit each and every tem
perament . Here the artist may find

settings innumerable ;the fisherman |
may use his rod with a vengeance;
the kodak fan may take pictures
from sun-up to sun-down, and have at
the close of the day an envious col
lection of views. Here the saddle
horse enthusiast may follow his fav
orite sport along flowered ami wood
ed trails—always with the mighty
and magnificent Mt. McKinley in
view. Here in this vast northland
may be seen and enjoyed everything
that the Alps has to offer and more.
What Mt. Rainier means to the Pa
cific Northwest; what Yosemite is to
California; what Yellowstone and
Glacier National Park mean to the
west and middle west, and what La
Follette National Park means to
Maine and the other New England
States, Mt. McKinley National Park
can mean to Alaska. In the ac
complishment of this aim all that is
required is the whole hearted and un
ited effort of all concerned. Appro
priations for National Park develop
ment come when the communities di
rectly interested do their part, and
it remains for every Alaskan to do
his and her part towards interesting
the world in what we have. In this
work our agents each day have op
portunities to play an interesting
and leading role. Whenever a visi
tor makes inquiry concerning places j
of interest, make it a point to men
tion Mt. McKinley National Park, and!
how to reach it. Outline the activi- j
ties that may be indulged in there.
Explain that accommodations at the
Savage River Camp of the Mt. Mc
Kinley Park Transportation Company
are clean and comfortable, and that
safe saddle horses and competent
guides are always available. Also
explain that stop-overs at McKinley
Park are allowed on all tickets. Al
ways have on hand a supply of cards
covering rates for various services at
the Park. When your supply becomes,
low ,advise this office and an addi
tional supply will be sent you. In
brief ,boost Mt. McKinley National
Park whenever and wherever possible.
It is the biggest single attraction that
Alaska has to offer, and its develop
ment means much toward develop
ment of the Territory and The Alas
ka Railroad.
