the same method in their treatment
of boils, pimples, rashes. carbuneles,

apply a salve or lotion to the sore

they fail to recognize j., that these

and that no external treatment can
permanently curc them. because they
are essentially Internal ailments.

and were it not against the law you could easily kill zebra with a pistol as you stand on the platform. 1 have count ed hundreds of zebra in an hours ride, and I venture that l saw more than looJ antelopes in single trip through British East Africa. The animals have learned that they are safe when near the railroad and they do not stop feeding ss the train passes.
 It will be the same in the Mount Me- 1<inley park. That region has thousands of caribou. or American reindeer Bel more Browne saw 125 in one bunch. and the animals sometimes move back and forth over the park in droves of thou- sands Charles Sheldon tells me that he counted 5oo mountain sheep in one da,, and the whole park is the home Of these. the most beautiful of the sheep kind. It is also the home of the bear and the beaver. It has moose in the low timber and bushes along the stream and there are foxes, rabbits and lynx, and the many varieties of birds which are to be found in Alaska. It will be the most interest ing place for the study of natural history.

Gonogill could easily have gone over and climbed the south peak, but they wanted their flag where it could be seen by tele- scope at Fairbanks, 150 miles away. They thought 1t would be visible, although 1t was not This gives the honor of the highest ascent to the party headed by Archdeacon Stuck, who with Harry Kars- tens. the Alaska scout and guide, climbed to the top of the south peak in 1918. Belmore Browne had come within about 100 feet of it the year before that, but an earthquake. which had shaken down the great ice masses, and the blizzard which came up at that altitude prevented his reaching the top.
 As to the ascent of Harry karstens and Archdeacon Stuck got the story of it from Harry Karstens as we sat and chatted together in the saloon of Big Bill NTcPhee at Fairbanks. It was Big Bill, you remember, who put up third Of the money which enabled Lloyd, Ander- son and Taylor to climb the north peak. Harry Karstens is a young trapper and hunter famous for his nerve on the trail. He is a noted guide and takes out and cares for rich hunters when they come to the Yukon. He brought the first mail into Fairbanks and took the first letters into the Kantishna. He made the trip up the mountain in partnership with the archdeacon, the latter furnishing $1O00 for expenses against his experience, and the understanding being that the two were to divide the proceeds which were to come from Archdeacon Sucks book and lecture describing the ascent. Harf y tells me that his share of the royalties

The men were 52 days on the way, of which 50 days were spent going up and only two com ing down Tou can get a graphic de- seription of the Journey by reading Arch deacon Sucks book entitled, "1.he As cent of Mount Denali," although I doubt whether you will find there the state rnent which Karstens made to me that the arehdeacon played out at the las, and that be had to carry him on his back to the top.
 Belmore Browne thinks it will pay the government well to establish a hotel cn the slope of Mount Mckinley and to build an automobile road from the rail way to it. He says the tourist traffic win warrant almost any expense that tha government might undergo in that way, and that as soon as the road is completed there will be & great deal of travel on account of Mount Mckinley alone.
 One of the wonders of the park will te the wild animals which throng that re- zion and which, now that they are to be protected by the government. will make the park the largest and best populated game preserve of this continent. The only place I know that will at all com pare with it is the strip two miles wide running from Mombasa on the east coast of Africa, to Lake Victoria Nyanza, 800 miles inland That strip, a mile wide on each side of the railroad, fairly swarms with zebra and antelope of various kinds. You may see giraffes, ostriches and gnu. animals which have horns like COW and tail like a horse, from the car windows,

rec ch as any of our national parks. The
 engineers are now working on a line north and south of the mountain, and
 they have laid out the route so that a
 great part of 1t will be in sight of
 Mount Mckinley, At one place the trains
 will pass within IS miles of the park. Moreover the foothills of the northern
 slope of the mountain are such that road ways can be easily made up one little valley after another, 50 that wagons or automobiles will take the tourist right to the foot of the mountain, and that through one of the greatest wild game preserves of the continent.
 have seen Mount Mckinley from the hills of the Tanana valley near Fair banks. It is visible in many parts ot Alaska and when the new railway is completed 1t will become as we'll known as Fujiyama, Mount Blanc or Pikes Peak. It will rank as one of the scenic won ders of the world ano will be known as the grandest mountain on earth. Mount Mckinley is the highest peak on the North American continent. If you will take an aeroplane and shoot straight up for four miles. you will be on a level with it, and when you stand on it's slope at the end of the road where the auto mobile will land you after leaving the cars you will have a mountain view. which cannot be equaled in. the Alps. the Andes or the Himalayas. I have tray- eled through all these regions. They each have their own features of scenic grandeur, but none can show the stu pendous height of Mount Mckinley. The north side of the mountain rises almost precipitousy and. standing on the north- err foothills, it gives an unobstfucted view of 17,O00 or 1S,000 feet Measuring from the line of perpetual snow, you can see more of it than any other great mountain, and its height is not dwarfed by other mountains between the peak and your eye.
 have seen most of the greatest mountains of the world. Take Aeon agua, the giant of the Andes. It actu- ally is q half mile higher above the sea than Mount Mckinley. but the best views of it are to be had only whcn you are a mile and a half or two miles above the sea, and then you see it over other peaks which dwarf it's alti- tude. One of the best places to see Mount Everest is on the southern slope Of the Himalayass saw it from Tiger hill, not far from Darjii1ing. where-I was about q mile and half above the sea. I started out in the darkness and waited there for sunrise to get a good view of the mountain. The air was clear and the suns rays made the mighty peak look like frosted silver. but one could not real ize that he was gazing at the highest known point on the globe. Mount Everest is almost six miles above the sea, but my view was cut off by Kun chinjinga which is only 1000 feet lower, and that mountainwas dwarfed by the other giants between Mount Mckinley will stand boldly out in the north side of the park. We shall have a magnificent view of 1t from the railroad, and at 2500 feet above sea
