SUPERINTENDENT KARSTENS
 READY FOR WORK IN PARK


 the Interior Fall an appointment as superintendent of Mount Mckinley National Park, arrived in Nenana yesterday on the train from Heaiy. MT. karstens came North on the steamer Northwestern, in company with Cadastral Engineer Woodbury Abbey, and made the trip over the hump" with him.
 Nenana has been selected by Su- perintendent Karstens as his head quarters, and will be the future residence of his family, who are now enroute to Nenana by way of Skagway and the Yukon. MT. Kar- stems came North in order that pre- liminary work in the administration of Americas largest park can be taken in hand and, consequently, was given the tentative appoint ment of chief ranger, which office terminates on the last day of June, when he will assume his duties as superintendent. Mr. Karstens will have the right of selecting his as- sistants who will act as rangers and wardens, and will see to it that the laws are properly observed. For the present, he will be assisted by one man, experienced in the admin istrative work of the National Park Service, and it is the intention of the superintendent to fill vacancies in the park ranger service later on by appointing sourdough Alas kans. These appointments, however, will not take place for some con siderable time.
 Superintendent Karstens has had wide experience in outdoor life ;n the Northland and is very thoroughly familiar with the country in and around Mount Mckinley, much of which is within the limits of the National Park. He first went into that region some years ago with the late Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, and later spent considerable time there with hunting party of young millionaires from New York. He was one of the principal mem bers of the Stuck party when the ascent of Mount Mckinley was made. He is therefore, eminently fitted to fill the position to which he has been appointed by the secre- tary of the interior.
 With a view to making the park easily accessible and attractive to tourists and lovers of nature gener- ally, in the shortest possible time, MT. Karstens will immediately tra- verse the great reservation careful ly for the purpose of selecting and recommending a route over which the National Park Service will build road to serve as the main artery of travel within the park limits, and from which trails will radiate to the many points of scenic at. traction situated deeper in the range.
 The selection of Nenana as the headquarters of the superintendent means much to the town as regards it's future prosperity, and it is of the utmost importance, it is pointed out, that the residents of this dis trict cooperate heartily with the park authorities, in order to insure it's success as a drawing card to the patronage of tourists and travellers generally.
 The Mount Mckinley National Park will be conducted along lines similar to those in force in the ad- ministration of the Yellowstone and other National Parks in the States and, in addition, will be a game sanctuary. The limits of the park contain the natural habitat and feeding grounds of the vast herds of

talns the following provision: That the said park shall be, and is here by, established as a game refuge, and no person shall kill any game in said park except under an order from the secretary of the interior for the protection of persons or to protect or prevent the extermina- ton of other animals or birds; pro- vided, that prospectors and miners engaged in prospecting or mining in said park may take and kill therein as much game or birds as may be needed for their actual necessities when short of food, but in no case shall animals or birds be killed in said park for sale or removal therefrom, or wantonly.
 Several sportsmen of New York endeavored to obtain an order from
 
 the secretary to hunt such animals as would be destructive to others, within the park limits, but their requests were refused. The proviso under which the secretary may is- sue permits only refers to such animals as bears and wolves.
 Superintendent Karstens says it in not the intent of the law to work hardship on prospectors, but that the indiscriminate slaughtering of game for the market will be dis couraged, fragrant violations being adequately punished. i Conditions are not improving very rapidly along the Pacific coast, ac- cording to Harry P. Karstens, who arrived in Nenana from the Out side yesterday. He travelled along the Pacific coast by auto, taking in all the cities along the way, and he says he found only two towns in which conditions appeared to be anything like normal as regards prices. The places were San Jose, California, and Albany, Oregon. in almost every other locality, prices were abnormally high and there appeared to be a marked tendency toward graft of every sort.
 Grating had become so general , in California when MT. Karstens was in that state, that auto travel CTS were starting a movement to avoid the Poppy State altogether. But MT. Karstens found, upon his arrival in the Puget Sound district, that similar conditions existed there, only more so, with the possible ex- ception of one or two places. lie found the people of Portland dis posed to be reasonably decent in their treatment of strangers.
 i MT. Karstens was at loss to ac- count for the low prices-almost prewar-prevailing in San Jose, but says one of the merchants of AL bany, when asked for an explana- tion of his fair dealing, merely stated that he did not have the nerve to continue charging war time prices. :.:.= ~: .... Travelling by auto along the coast, MT. Karstens says, is both enjoyable and inexpensive, provid- ing one is prepared to camp along . the highway. Camping grounds arc to be found at convenient distances, and eggs and milk and garden truck are obtainable almost everywhere, except in the towns, at reasonable prices. ..-..- But if one has to stop in a town every night, the cost of travelling mounts rapidly. Hotels which adver- tise moderately priced rooms, have only high-priced apartments avail able when weary autoist requests accommodations. And the restau- rants have way of pricing meals that is very telling on the pocket book. In many of the places, a

outside territory and in villages and
towns where there was no established

TRUCK DRIVER, WHO
BROKE SPEED LAWS.
FINED IN l.P. COURT
MACHINE, WHICH WAS FASTLY
BECOMING NUISANCE, GETS PO
LICE 90 WITH RESULT THAT
CHAUFFEUR is ARRESTED AND
ASSESSED SIS PENALTY.

lsadore Gzcbukucka, a truck driver
in the employ Of the Powers-Thomp
son Construction company, who are
putting in the pavement in South o.
taWa, was arrested yesterday after
noon about Ais o'clock by Chief OF
Police. Ford on a charge CT driving
his truck at speed exceeding that
allowed by the law and also of reck-
less driving. He was travelling about
tWenty-three miles an hour at the
time or his arrest He was taken
to Judge Koenig's court room.
When questioned by the judge and
the police officer he admitted that h.
was driving about twenty-three miles
an hour and that it was faster than
he drove in Streator, which he gave
as his pace of residence. He didn
even have chauf rs license and
could also have been brought into
court on that charge But as he did
not have any money with him to pay
fine if one should be assessed against
him he was given until 10 o'clock this
morning to talk the affair over with
his boss, Mr., McCugo who is in
charge of the construction gang put
ting in the pavement.
McCugo, thinking that his driver
was picked up for driving with an
open cut-out, appealed to Mayor
Weeks last night for leniency in the
case. He stated that if a muiflcr was
put on the cut-outs they would be
blown eff by the exhaust before they
were driven two blocks.
This morning, when the time of the
trial arrived, City Attorney Richolsol
appeared at the court room and wish
ed to have the charge against Gzcbu-
lucka quashed, but he was informe9
that the charge was not that of driy
ing with an open cut-out but CT fast
and reckless driving.
McCugo also appeared at the hear
ing He was informed by the court
that the charge against the lad was
that of fast and reckless driving Nc.
Cugo then stated that he was inform
ed of a wrong charge. He added that
he didn't want his men to drive at a
brcakneck rate of speed and that in
the future if any of them were caught
doing so they would be released from
working for him.
Gzcbulucka is from StreatOr. and
many complaints have been sent into
police headquarters in regard to his
driving He is hired to haul cement
from the Rock Island depot to the
streets in South Ottawa being paved
In the past he has been in the habit
of footing an exhaust pipe whistle
from the Illinois and Michigan canal
on La Sale street as far as the Hi.
nois river bridge without stopping,
seemingly to be warning everybody
to get cut of the way and give him
the right of way, as he wasn't going
to stop for anything.
After pleading guilty to the
charges preferred against him, Judge
Koenig assessed a fine of Sl5 and
costs against him.
