ALASKAN PARK IS

Mr.. MCKINLEY ~ IN NEW GAME
RESERVATION CREATED
ny CONGRESS.

Washington, March Secretary
Of the Interior Lane announces the
creation by Congress of the Mt. Nc
Kinley National Park. This new
reservation. which incloses an area of
200 square miles. lies In South Cen
trail Alaska and contains the loftiest
mountain in America.
Mt. Mckinley rises 10000 feet
above sea level. II is nearly 5000
feet higher than Mt. Whitney, the
loftiest summit within the borders of
the continental United States. There
are few loftier mountains In the
world, notably In the Himalayas, but
none which rises so far above the
neighboring country The valleys of
tho Himalayas are from 1000 to TO-
900 feet and more in altitude:- the
valleys of the Mt. Mckinley National
Park range from 1900 to 5000 feet
in altitude. McKinley's elevation
above the sea level OF immediate OBJ
servation, therefore, is thousands of
feet higher than that of any other
mountain. and the sublimity of the
spectacle IL presents Is correspond
ingly greater.
The magniGcence OF the spectacle
is further increased by the fact that
the upper $4,000 feet of the vast
mountain is solldly covered with
snow and ice. Some of the highest
glaciers in the world flow from Me-
knley's sides.

WHY THE RAILROAD HEADS ARE
MADE HEROES BY THE PRESS

A steady stream of newspaper stO-
ries the last few weeks show the rail-
road presidents and managers in the
light Of efficiency heroes, mastering
tremendous difficulties.
Among newspaper. men and in adj
vertising circles it is recognized and
understood that a publicity cam
paign" is on. The aim of the cam
paign is to produce a certain impress
sion on the public mind. It viii lay
the way and be a starter for two OBJ
jecives sought by the railroads: %
Permission from the interstate COM
merce commission to charge ship
pers higher rates and passengers
higher fares; (2) permission to sell
more bonds and stocks to raise cap
ital for new extensions, instead of
using any Of the record-breaking
profits of the past three years for
new extensions.
Another thing the railroad presi-
dents and managers don't like to
face is the finish Of the governments
physical valuation of the railroad
property in the United States.
When the figures are all in they
will show the difference between
what the railroads are actually worth
and what they are capitalized at. At
least one-third of and possibly more
than one-half the railroad capitaliza-
ton of the United States is fictitious
and commonly known as wind and
water" When the physical valua-
ton survey is completed it will be a
