Washington. D. c. l1N1 HE United States is to have a
 national park in Alaska. It is
 ll to be known as Mount McKin-
 lev" and it will contain the highest peak on the North American con- tinent. The actual area of the park is to be more than 1,4Oso acres. It will almost equal 5000 quarter-section farms. and will cover d space twice as large as the state of Rhode Island. It will De two-thirds as large as Yellowstone National park, twice as large as the osemite and the Big Tree reservation of California combined. and five or six times the size of the Rocky Mountain park, which Congress created last year Moreover, there is a mountainous region 10 the south of it which is so wild and rugged that it can never be used for any thing else except as a tourist resort or national hunting ground. so that alto gether the park will be as large as, if not larger than, any under Uncle Sams flag.
 Heretofore this region has been prac- tically inaccessible to the ordinary tray- eler It is situated far back of the coast across great range of mountains, and the usual way of reaching it has been to land at Sitka, 1000 miles north of Seattle, and take the railroad which goes from there to the headwaters of the naviga- ton of the Yukon at White Horse. in Canada. From there steamers will take you in about a week down the Yukon to the mouth of the Tanana, and you can ascend that stream to the mouth of the Nenana, where a big railroad town is TOW building. You can go up the Ne mana river by several days voyage on boats of one kind or another and you will then be not far from the edge of the park In the past the only other means of access has been by crossing the kenai peninsula from Seward, or steam ing around through Cook inlet to the site of Anchorage, and then making your way ur the Sustana and over the coast range to the foothills of the northern slope of the mountain. The southern slope is so rough as to be almost prohibitive, and the mountain can be climbed only from the north.
 By the building of the new railroad the region has become quite as easy to

 The booster bunch' sent out Thursday morning by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce was met at the train by a flock of automobiles, a bunch of red blooded citizens with handshake that had the kidney punch of sincerity, and brass band propelled by lungs that were never stronger. At noon the best part of the programme came. The ladies of the School Improvement association ''fed' the hungry Birminghamers. They never fared better-chicken pie Git had chicken in it and the chickens had wings and backs and thighs, and not 8 foot was to be seen; pie, custards, pickles. cake. coffee and sandwiches were plenti- full The meal was delightful.
 The party returned to the city Thurs day evening, feeling that the day in Oneonta was more than worth while, and hoping that the pleasure was mutual, and that the cooperative spirit that too often does not prevail between the large town and the small one exists between Oneonta and Birmingham. The consensus of opin- ion Is that 1t does.

PRESS CLUB TO HAVE
 HILLMAN QUARTERS
Present AffiliatiOn With Civic Asso- citation Will Not Be Disturbed by
 New Arrangement

Following a meeting of the members of the newly organized newspaper club of Birmingham, held at the Hillman ho-
 tel, the proposal submitted by George N. D1ver acting manager of the Hili- man, to furnish and completely equip two rooms for the use of the Birmingham newspaper men as their official heaa- quarters was accepted with the thanks of the organization. MT. Drivers pro- posal was also to maintain the quarters, which is composed of two large rooms on the second floor of the hotel, furnishing them completely and making no charge whatever to the newspaper men.
 The rooms will be in readiness in a cling, and have been just recently deco rated anew. They will have tables, chairs, writing tables and typewriter desks placed, every convenience added and there will he no admittance to any, one except members, who will enter with their own key, which will be furnished. This will preserve the identity of the club, and at the same time preclude Tn no way the present utilization of mem bers of the press with the Birmingham Civic association, which is now occupy ing the old Newspaper club quarters in the Jefferson County Bank building.
 The committee handling the furnish ing of the rooms, as named by the meet ing held Friday afternoon is composed of Frank Hea of the Birmingham Maga- zine, J. A. Rosen of the Advance and Jeff Bailey of The Age-Herald. MT. Driver stated to this committee last night that he would have the quarters in shape by tomorrow afternoon, when the members of the club will meet again and decide upon permanent plans that will mean exclusiveness to the member ship and more rigid enforcement or club rules
 The initial meeting was presided over by Walter Blackman, w. H. Hendrix acting as secretary. Mir Blackman ex- tended thanks to Mir. Driver for the aid he has rendered the club and for the recognition that he has all along shown the press"

There Is Absolutely No h. timation From War De-
 partment on Subject
GENERAL BLISS WILL RETIRE IN DECEMBER
Army and Entire Country Greatly Interested in Identity of Man to Fill This Very Important
 Position
By LEO R. SACK

Washington, October 2o-(Special.) ) Who is going to be the next chief of staff?
 Army officers and civilians anxious to know have reached the fever stage of gcssip. but none are able to answer. Perhaps President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker know, but they will lot tei. No one knows, either, who will be the assistant chief of staff, a post that has been vacant since Gen. Tasker H. Bliss stepped from this berth into the office just vacated by Maj. Gen. Hugh |. Scott
 If officials know who is to be the as- sistant chief of staff they believe they would know who will be the chief of gtaff. because indications are the assist ant will be promoted to chief on Decem- her a, 1917, when General Bliss retires.
 MOST IMPORTANT POSITION
 Because the nation Is at war inter- St In this appointment is greater than In ordinary times. especially as the chief of staff will be the military director of our participation in the conflict. His work will be far more important than the work of Major General Scott and general Bliss, his immediate predeces- sors. for the reason that the nation will send it's men lover the top" while he 1s in office. General Scott's work while chief of staff was devoted to preparing the armies, likewise to observing con- diuons in Russia as ranking military member of the Root mission. General Bliss work is along the lines of prepar- edness with the possibility that Persh- angs men may get in action before he retires two months hence.
 The office of assistant chief of staff has been vacant since September g, when Major General Scott retired. Secretary Bakers delay in filling it is attributed to the belief that the new assistant will succeed General Bliss on New Years day.
 Chances are the secret will keep until Secretary Baker Is ready to announce 1t. as he has developed a great faculty Of keeping such matters to himself until he is ready to take the public into ais confidence.

MANY RUMORs

Naturally there are all sorts of rumors regarding the situation. One generally accepted as most plausible is that the officer tentatively chosen for the great honor is now with General Pershins' s forces in France, thoroughly acquainting himself with the situation. Another ru- lnor is that the secretary has left the selection to the majority vote of the ci- vision commanders of the army, includ- ing those now in France, and that no agreement has been reached. This rumor however. is not accepted for more than its face value among those acquainted with Secretary Baker.
 There are some who believe General Pershing may be chosen and this prob ably would be done, but for the fact that he can give the nation more valuable service as the commander of the Amer ican troops In France. Some believe that Maj. Gen. Hunter Liggett or Mai Gen. J. f. Morrison, both or whom are in the regular army and are now in France, on independent missions, will be chosen. These officers have been abroad for several months making a special study of the military situation in Europe with particular reference to the part to be played by the large American army being mobilized in France. They are not
