 OUTING AT M'KINLEY PARK

Among those arriving in Nenana on the last train from the south was W. F. Chandler, wealthy ranch CT and vineyardist of Fresno, Cal. He is very deeply interested in na- tional parks and their development and has shown his interest on nu- merous occasions by making fiber al contributions to development pro- jects within the federal reserves.
 MT. Chandler came in by way of the Alaska Railroad last month and spent twelve days in Mt. Me Kinley National Park. He made his way to the base of the great snow capped mountain, making camp near the place where Muddy Fork has its source and emerges from beneath a great glacier.
 The trip into the park was made in company with Superintendent H. P. Karstens and Dan Kennedy, well known sourdough packer, who has handled pack outfits, large and small, in almost every section of Alaska and Yukon Territory.
 The party journeyed in by way of Maurice creek, Teklanika, Igloo creek and the Sable, Polychrome, Highway and Thoroughfare passes, traversing a country teeming with big game They returned to McKin- ley Park hotel over the same route, the return trip being made in the extraordinarily quick time of three and a half days. Three saddle and a like number of pack horses were used during the trip which was de- scribed tersely by Mir Chandler as marvellous.
