Gamers OF Mad Foxes Add New
Note To Holly Ridge Scene

HOLLY RIDGE, Dec. Ii The
capers of mad foxes r adding
still further excitement in Holly
Ridge, which is already bubbling
over with enthusiasm over tn e
coming of a $1O,0 900, 900 anti-air-
craft training center here.
The rabid Reynard family also
constitutes a real danger to the
residents of this section and their
farm stock, for a number of COWS,
mules, hogs and dogs that have
been bitten by mad foxes have
been killed.
Moreover, the natives are not
safe from the foxes either, for sew
eral persons have been attacked
in the past several days.
DR.. R. P. Huffman, of Whining
ton, said tonight that tests of dead
foxes and stock animals have de-
finitely shown that they have n.y.
drophobia. He said that farmers
have lost several cows and mules
which have contracted rabies.
Sherman Eden's COW went mad
here a few days ago and he had
to shoot her and E. F.. Sanders,
who lives in Holly Ridge, had to
kill a mule that had been bitten
by a mad fox today. Riley Davis
was forced to shoot one of his hogs
that had gone mad some time ago,
and in general Eolly Ridge is on
the alert for the mad foxes that
used to hold sway up around Kelly.
Davis himself was attacked by
and anti-social member of the Rey-
nard clan a few days ago but es-
capped without being bitten.
Mrs. Effie Hardison, who lives
near here, reported that she killed
two mad foxes that had dashed in
to her yard recently. No one is
safe because. you never know
where Brothe rFox will appear
next.
DR.. Huffman said that the mad
fox scourge around here a be
attributed to spreading from the
rabies in foxes up ear Kelly and
Atkinson about a year ago. He
said that several people who have
been bitten in this vicinity and

 Worth Waiting
 Commonly. during the 24-hour daylight of summer, Denali may be seen, but mans haste, even in va cation time, has caused it to be said that the mountain is seldom visible. Why do men spend days in travel, hours of anticipation, funds from purposeful savings to visit Mount Mckinley and then, turn away when clouds momentarily obscure an outstanding objective during a tour of Americas last Frontier?
 Mount Mckinley National Park provides facilities for comfort and mobility and is the tourist haven for temporary surcease from steady travelling.
 Visitors leave the train of the Alaska Railroad at Mckinley Park Station and are escorted to the nearby Mckinley Park Hotel. Com

ardous slopes for fame and per sonal qualification. Mount McKin- ley was first reported to have been climbed by the explorer Captain Cook. Two sourdoughs in a Fair banks barroom heard of Cook s claims. To refute the Captains assertions, these men ascended to the north peak of the mountain in phenomenal climb.
 First Ascent
 Appropriately, the first success full ascent was made by these two adopted sons of the North. Un- fortunately, the men did not know the south peak was 300 feet higher than the pinnacle upon which they set their feet.
 Some years later Archdeacon Stuck, as though seeking closer con- tact with the Master he served, reached the highest point. With

 Bus Tour
 During this refreshing pause and the bounteous meal accompanying it, representative of the Mount Mckinley Tourist and Transporta- tion Company organizes the bus trip through the park. A fleet of roomy, modern buses leaves the hotel about the middle of the af- ternoon and makes the 65 mile tour to Camp Eielson from where the travellers view the goal of their jour ney-Mount Mckinley
 Camp Eielson is a comfortable tent hotel with cozy sleeping quar- ters and large dining tent in charge of one of the best cooks in the Territory. Situated on a bluff at the edge of Mckinley River, Camp Eielson provides the contact with outdoors Alaska = that touch of primitiveness, which visitors enjoy.
 Feasting eye, mind and soul with the inspiring aspect of the great mountain is interrupted by the call to partake at heavily laden tables. Family style service allows per- sonal capacity to limit the size of the meal. There is no hurry to re- turn to the hotel. If the clouds are persistent. the whole party may remain until late evening and make the return trip in the mellow of the light Of night. Many stay all night and are taken to the station next day in time to catch the train. Among these who remain, there may be little sleep for it seems as though someone is always exclaiming the changing moods of McKinley-but sleep is unimportant when one of the worlds natural masterpieces is on display

him was Karstens, first Superinten- dent of Mount Mckinley National Park, and Harper, a native of AL aska.
 Then Lindley, young attorney from Philadelphia, led his party of four, including Superintendent Lick of the Park, to the first ascent of both peaks of the mountain. Second Largest Peak
 National recognition was given Mount Mckinley in 1917. That year Congress established Mount McKin- ley National Park, the second larg- est park among that splendid gal axy of natural areas for which America is famous. Since then the National Park Service of the De- partment of Interior has progressed toward making the scenic attrac- tions of the park accessible to AL askan travellers.
 At first, a trail extended from the Alaska Railroad on the east park boundary westward through the park Gradually. this route for hiking and horseback travel was replaced by road. Now one of the finest roads in Alaska extends to the north boundary at Wonder Lake.
 AS one progresses westward along the highway, Mount Mckinley be- comes increasingly predominant un- til Camp Eielson is reached.
 Spectacular Sight
 From this uneXcelled vantage point the mountain" stands forth in unobstructed and intimate gran deur. One looks across Muldrow Glacier, which has it's source in Mo- Kinleys snow fields, over gradually ascending hills that rise Into the snow-capped Alaska Range. Midst this beautiful panorama, the Home of the Sun reaches toward that heavenly sphere from which the Indians reverently derived the name, Denali.
 Warm, moisture-laden air cur rents from the ocean meet the great mountain and transform into bil- lowy clouds.

Mckinley Parks Dog SIeds Wired for Sound

Calling all dog sledS" soon may become regular radio feature al Mount Mckinley National Park, ac- cording to a recent story in De- partment of the Interior clipsheet.
 The news story says that ito fa- cilitate communication in the north- ernmost park, radio sets have been provided, including portable set for the newly established ranger sta- tion in the Wonder Lake district for use on dog sleds.
 with snowdrifts rendering tha park highways impossible, through out the long Arctic winter, the Won- der Lake Ranger Station is so con- pletely isolated, from early fall until late spring, that the park person. nel depend upon dog sleds and snow shoes in making their hundreds oi miles of patrols of the park bound- aries.
 Reception Difficult g
 The distance from Wonder Lake Station to park headquarters is 85 miles in an air line, and, although it affords strenuous test for a portable radio set in a region where magnetic storms are the rule rather than the exception, it is reported that fairly consistent schedule has been maintained.
 Tn order. however, to minimize the amount of disturbance, voice contacts are supplemented by the use of the telegraph code over the radio, so that the use of keys may be resorted to when voice transmits sion cannot successfully cope with atmospheric conditions.
