can people the wealthiest possession held by any nation in the world. Mineral. agriculture, fish cries. stock raiSing-ever ythng for future develop ment IL is the golden land of promise for the coming generation All they want is your help Come and help them. Let us have 25oeoo people in Alaska.
 None of the speakers mentioned Mount Me Kinley. It will be noted that the small map sug- scsting the general course of the Alaskan railroad shows Mount Mckinley. This great peak with q surrounding of 2,200 square miles. is now Mount Mckinley National park. The government railroad runs close of the peak and will make it accessible.
 Mount Mckinley National park lies approxi- mately in the center of Alaska, in the midst of the vast wilderness to the south of the Yukon and to the west of the Panama. Here the Alaskan range. which forms line of snow-capped sum mis .00 miles long, eliminates in several gigantic peaks the highest of whieh-Mount Mckinley towering 2o,300 feet. is the highest mountain in the world above the line of perpetual snow and one Of the most impressive mountains of the earth Seen from altitude of l,So0 feet, Mount Mckinley is stupendous; travellers say that there k nothing like il, among the higher Andes or Himaiayas.
 The park area is in scenic keeping with forests. glaciers lakes, streams and lofty peaks So from a scenic viewpoint the Mckinley National park takes place in the front rank of our 1i na- iional parks.
 Mount Mckinley is q natural big game refuge. II is the fountainhead of the big game supply south of the Yukon and west of the Panama It is the center Of region where big game abounds. Here can still be seen the wild game living in security protected by the re,noteness and rugged ness of the region Great moose stalk through the valleys about timber line. Herds of caribou feed on inc moss-covered hills. Bands of bighorns browse on the high mountain slopes The grizzly monarch Of the American wilderness, gives the
 .tss. paradise.
 But already is this biz game paradise menaccd The prospector, miner and market hunter closing ill., The white mans civilization is draw ing near. Already sledloads or wild game reach the Fairbanks market. With the completion of the government railroad New York will be but three weeks away. Our national expansion has always carried with if evils as well as good Fires have swept away forests; dynamite and filth have killed off the fish; leaden hail has extermiiilated the wild life. "Rememher the buff fao!'
 When this day comes the big game of the region will naturally gravitate to Mount Mckinley. And therc if will find sanctuary in the national park So aside from its scenic magnfcencc the creation of Mount Mckinley National park is well worth while as game preserve.
 On inc otler hand remote is this vast wilder ness that the act contains concession to the pros hector and the miner in the matter of killing game for food. The act establishes the park as q game refuge and provides a heavy punishment for ,he killing of game There is however. this pro vso:
 provided, That preSpeetors and miners en- gagged III prospecting or mining in said park may take and kill there so much game birds may be needed for sher actual necessities when short of food but in case shall animals or birds be killed in said park for sale removal therefrom or wanfony.
 It is obvious that inasmuch the passing of the park act does not modify affect the mineral land laws applicable to tne area and hence does not exclude prospectors and miners it would not do to prohibit the killing of game fer food ny them il, ease 4r necessity
